Cards Against Humanity continue to bring good into the world
  • I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, because Elon actually is doing that.

    In both these cases, the payment technically isn't directly for voting for a specific candidate. The payment is for an unrelated action that only someone voting for your candidate would agree with. Either way, still smells bad.

  • Sony Delists Original Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, Forces PSN Requirement for Remaster
  • Sony hasn't done the paperwork to officially do business in those countries, so you can't make a psn account. And because Sony is intent on forcing psn accounts, it leads to this stupid situation where those countries are locked out, despite Steam supporting them.

  • Soon™
  • That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

    The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.

  • I mean, he's not wrong.
  • It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.

    Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • I agree, but unfortunately, there's probably not a good self hosted solution to this specific problem.

    I use musicbrainz for music tagging, which is an excellent source for all metadata except lyrics. For better or worse, the only decent sources of lyrics seems to be genius and musixmatch, and neither integrate well with tagging tools like musicbrainz Picard.

    If anyone else has found an easier way to do this, I would love to hear it.

  • To all you outside of the US...
  • Unfortunately, that isn't feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.

    We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.

  • Double chocolate
  • Yes.

    The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.

    Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.

  • Boy Scouts of America changing name to more inclusive Scouting America after years of woes
  • I agree with most of your points, but I don't know, I think I would keep the reverent in the scout law, even if the oath changed.

    As a (nonreligious) scout, I always interpreted the reverent more as being respectful than actually religious. More like respecting the beliefs of others, or being respectful and solemn in a cemetery or a war memorial.

    There's nothing else in the scout law that conveys that feeling, and I feel like the law would be missing it if it were dropped.

  • Which alarm clock apps do you use?
  • Yep, the captchas are great. I've got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.

  • Any time I need a quick boost I just think back to this
  • The word "protects" seems almost intentionally misleading here. They are talking about changing zoning requirements to allow for higher density housing, instead of forcing single family home suburbs.

  • Dune: Awakening – Survive Arrakis Trailer
  • I think they're rationalizing it by saying that's a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.

    They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.

  • Music Piracy Is Back, Baby
  • Spotify has almost every song on the planet

    Until a contract negotiation with UMG goes south and they lose half the catalog overnight. See what's happening on tiktok right now for a good example of this.

    I understand the convenience draw, but I'm not a fan of continually paying for content that can disappear at any moment.
