True and disgusting. Abbott is a despot.

I say for anyone who is still frequently using Reddit at this point, let's post friendly replies to try and lure responses from the admins on these threads, then after they respond, change your question to something that makes their response look like something an asshole would say.

Digital Rights Management. Usually DRM agreements are imbedded in the terms and conditions no one reads when they install software. It usually gives the software vendor the right to monitor your use of the software in real time via the internet.

Within the context of Chrome and other Chromium based web browsers, this means that Google will be able to monitor your web browsing in a new way any time you're using a browser based on Chrome/Chromium.

Just call them what they are for so many, emotional support vehicles.

I agree 100%.

They use a few particular wedge issues to create voters who will vote one way regardless of any other considerations.

  • Abortion is murder
  • Your guns are the only thing that protect you and your family and the government wants to take them away
  • Party of law and order
  • Party of small government/fiscal responsibility

It doesn't matter in the slightest if the actions of Republican politicians conflict with their platforms.

  • Countless Republican leaders get abortions
  • Trump passed the first major firearm control in recent memory
  • January 6th
  • The deficit has gone up during every Republican administration and down in every Democrat administration since Reagan

It's not going to get fixed, because if the war on drugs was won, there'd be no one to fill up the run-for-profit prisons.

Garrison is without a doubt one of the most obtuse and absurd comic creators out there, but this one is a well known fake.

Thank you for asking. There's nothing is wrong with it, generally speaking. But it is not an academic or peer reviewed source. It has many editorialized articles.

I generally like the content they produce at least a little bit, but it's not science.

Not to belittle the issue, but does this community plan to allow posts sourced from non-academic publications like Ars Technica?

Yes! I never know how to feel about being prompted for a tip when I get carry out. Normally the tip is for table or delivery service. I don't think I should be obligated to compensate someone's wage for running my credit card and handing me a bag.

It is is 100% the case that establishments know customers will feel obligated to tip in any scenario they are prompted.

Hell, how do I even know that such a tip goes to the service staff who are paid less than minimum wage?

I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2. Bethesda got a lot out of the original. I have no doubt that they've taken their time with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 just to make sure this engine is ready for them.

As hyped as I am for Starfield, I can't help but think that it's basically a massive scale beta test for Elder Scrolls 6, just to make sure all the kinks are worked out before they release the successor to Skyrim.

Satisfactory.

I love making efficient systems and the freedom to do things the way I want to, such as by using the game's alternate recipe system.

The exploration and movement systems in the game are also to notch. It's not quite Titanfall, but I struggle to think of any other game where simply moving around is so fun. That's on top of how pretty the actual environment is to explore.

A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service says former President Donald Trump will be digitally fingerprinted and have his birthdate and Social Security number taken as part of the booking process at the federal courthouse in Miami. The spokesman said the former president will forgo a mugshot tuesday because enough photos of him already exist in the system — confirming what a person familiar with negotiations around the proceedings said earlier. The spokesman said that booking could take place before Trump appears in court or afterward, depending on when he arrives. He said authorities did not plan to immediately alert the media once Trump had arrived.
