Like with what happened to Kbin, I think it's great that we have 3 ongoing projects doing roughly the same thing. So if one is them dies out, we can just swap to the others. As a user invested in the threadverse, I think this is a net positive.

I think trans people are a popular target because they specifically threaten the patriarchy. That trans people exist muddies the line clearly drawn line that fascists have drawn between men and women that put men on top as powerful and women as inferior and subservient. If a trans person can cross that line, then maybe men and women really aren't that different, and that's an unacceptable reality for them.

I've not heard of CachyOS, but to capture 2.54% of the steam linux market feels significant. It jumped right past other established Arch-based distros like Endeavor and Manjaro.

What if Vampirism is a bacterial infection and it makes the wielder drink blood because that is what sustains the bacteria. I think I'm just imagining Parasite Eve again, but with bacteria in place of mitochondria.

Ahh, Mr. Guy whose turn it was next.

So was it just random that their fur is orange and not green? As both would help hunt prey just as well. Or is the advantage of being orange, that it wards away other tigers and predators that might otherwise muscle into its territory and create conflict.

Though just because you can see such fine movements doesn't mean you can react fast enough to stop it. You'd just see your loss coming from a mile away.

I agree, Walz, start being unsafe. Show us what we want to see in a candidate.

A game asked me if I was a boy or girl, I chose girl and have since committed to the bit.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.

Writing has never been Borderlands strong suit, and I don't expect it to get any better. The story will be bad, the dialogue will be bad, the jokes will be bad. They hit gold once with Borderlands 2, and never again. Will the gameplay be good? That's the real question.

Once again, I hate that I'm cheering for Liz Cheney.
