No, but it is if maintaining affordability is, which is what the rest of us were talking about.
For real. I know for a fact that Valve can buy hardware for less than any of us can. Its just a question of how much markup they want to slap on this, but it could easily be cheaper than any of us could build an equivalent.
Sure, if you are certain you found one that is current with current availability and pricing and where none of the specific parts have shot up in price relative to their alternatives. I have literally build a dozen PCs over the last 20 years and it would still take me time to make sure I had an optimal build at a reasonable price, even if using someone else's build.
We used to play a "serial killer" game in Red Dead Redemption. The goal is to kidnap a woman without getting seen by anyone. Its actually a lot harder than you would think because female NPCs are RARELY unescorted in the game. It opens up an element of planning and stealth that you (or at least I) don't usually use in that game.
Because their deaths are politically useful.
I really miss some of the extra content we got with physical media releases. The commentary tracks had some real gems in lots of shit.
Most stadiums have street side entrances that don't require you to traverse the parking lots if you got there via transit or got dropped off. My local stadium has thousands or parking spaces, but I can still walk about 50 feet from the train platform to get in.
Since they got bought by T-Mobile, Mint Mobile is literally a sister company and shares a network with fucking Trump Mobile.
T Mobile is the company that hired Corey Lewandowski as a consultant during their merge with Sprint. T-Mobile is the service provider for "Trump Mobile" and they killed their DEI programs more than a year ago. If anything, AT&T is the last of the big carriers to do this.
I mean really, they are just executive orders. They have no strength of law and no due process. The next president could literally undue every executive order done by the previous one by just issuing an executive order that does exactly that for no reason.
Pardon's aren't exactly the same thing as an executive order because they have an actual constitutional and legal basis.
I think the registration process and "official" app made piefed a more welcoming enrollment for people who are just casual users. Like, I had to explain a lot of shit to get my GF signed up for Lemmy. My grandma could sign up for piefed without much guidance.
It's a more inclusive term because "child predator" and "child rapist" all require some verifiable action on the person's part. Is a person who is sexually attracted to children and just looks at like AI generated CSM not also a pedophile, despite not actually directly harming children?
