I saw some memes with Good Omens templates and decided to give the show a watch.
Season 1 was pretty good, the kind of comedy that made me smile occasionally, which is fine.
On the other hand season 2 was mostly boring, 2 episode’s worth of story was stretched out to 6, and the ending ruined the friendship between the main characters, which was the cornerstone of the whole concept.
“It never happened but they deserved it”. It’s a classic rhetoric of people who deny or white wash genocides.
I do when I’m in a hurry. It’s not as good as the real one but gets the job done when I really need it.
I like to “annoy” people whith small “things” that are insignificant “alone” but add up over “time”. Kind of like “overusing” quotation marks in “posts” and comments.
A ban usually means that the account is closed forever, while a suspension is temporary.
But even if it’s not, brands like to distinguish themselves by using different lingo to their competitors. For example, even though Lemmy is a Reddit clone is heavily inspired by Reddit, they use different words like community instead of sublemmy.
I was a huge fan of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy. Just before the third game came out I replayed the previous two games again. I managed to get the secret ending of the second game. It’s un understatement that it blew my mind and that the third continued from there instead of the regular ending.
That’s really expensive, I pay around €7 for the family plan and I live in the EU.
That’s a fair point, where I live we have a point system for entry and you get the majority of your points through your grades. You also get points if you’re economically disadvantaged and some other factors like certain disabilities, if I remember correctly.
It seems from the outside that a systematic change would indeed be a good idea, not something that would just help the poor but address the root cause of why people become poor in the first place.
I’m from a country with free university education and we also have student loans available.
Here’s something that works for us: forget about private universities, invest in federal or state owned collages so that they can compete with the private ones.
Do a scholarship program where students can get free entry into these universities if their grades are high enough in high school, or make it dependent on an entry exam. Those that don’t get in have a paid option that’s still partially funded by the state or federal government.
Student loans will still be useful, not for tuition but for families who can’t afford to send their kids to study in the cities where the universities are located.
Communities I usually block if I see them more than once:
Not sure if they IP ban you because it’s not reliable. Most internet providers don’t give you a static IP, you get a new one every time you connect to the internet.
I’ve been IP banned before from some Counter Strike (1.6) servers back in the day because they though I was cheating (I just learned the AK’s recoil pattern), all I had to do was restart the router to play again.
I recently visited a forum for the first time and I wanted to comment but I couldn’t because I was IP banned. Probably because someone trolled there with the IP that I ended up receiving.
Me and my friends got banned from an online game because we logged in from school computers and sent each other resources. They thought they were one person’s alt accounts, which was forbidden. This was before wifi became commonplace so I guess they assumed everyone used their own internet.
I suspect that your IP is just one data point that they use to try to identify you if they do this sort of thing. Your browser (or their app) provides tons of information like screen resolution, device id, extension list, plugged in device list etc. These can identify you quite accurately.
Really? People pay for short, unencrypted messages that can barely handle accented characters, let alone media, when there are free alternatives that are much better in the vast majority of scenarios?
Or is free sms a common thing in people’s phone plans?
It’s also ok to support neither or to say it’s too complicated to pick a side.
This is really strange but a few weeks ago I was looking for something to watch and I came across the thumbnail for the Golden Girls.
That thumbnail gave me a huge nostalgia trip and I can’t explain why. The show was never aired in my home country so I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen it as a kid. I watched some clips from it and I felt nothing.
But the moment I look at that thumbnail of the main cast sitting together I feel like I’m at my parents house in my old room as a 6 year old.
I don’t know what li invites are but for your first request you could try tinder. /s
I don’t even need to buy them. They just pile up unread
How? I’ve read this many times, but I never understood it. Do people just hand them out on the street or is it customary to give bibles as a gift?
JavaScript: i know it was easy to write it like this but you should index your citations next time
Typescript: I meant properly, not on your scratch sheet
TES: Morrowind
You mean like OpenMW or a full remake?
It doesn’t bother me unless you go super slow, which is rare.
