Did you read the name of the sub before you replied?

The singular ‘dumbass’ to the plural ‘sovereign citizens’

There’s a belief that (I’m going to heavily paraphrase/over simplify here) when you’re born, there are two versions of you … The ‘corporation’, and the ‘real’ you.

Any document issued by the government i.e. birth certificates, social security etc is against the corporate version of you. And as a ‘real’ person, you are not part of a system you didn’t consent to.

So when you get pulled over for speeding, it was your real self who was driving travelling, not the corporation, and only the corporate self is beholden to the law. This same idea is applied to taxes…

In a modern internet context:

Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

Often used in crypto circles when a shitty project is being accused of being a rug pull. The scammer may say “it’s just FUD, ignore it”.

On ‘the street’, if I called someone a fud, it is calling them an idiot.

Story mode / Infinite lives / invincibility modes.

Difficulty should not be a barrier for entry. I like how Insomniac games like Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Spiderman, offer a really easy mode for those who just want to blast away or swing around New York.

How could I forget Mono.

The album (ep?) For your parents is amazing.

I will give Ryuichi Sakamoto a listen now.

There’s a mashup I didn’t know I wanted.

The following can be classed as instrumental, post-rock or post-metal:

• Russian Circles
• Caspian
• ISIS (the band)
• Sigur Ros
• Mogwai
• God Speed You! Black Emperor
• Blanket
• Vaudlow

Probs low hanging fruit for this thread, but vinyl collecting.

Started around 2011 by going to charity shops and second hand stores to find bargains. I used to be able to spend £10 a week and get 3/4 new (to me) records. Some were great ,some were trash, but that was the fun!

Then I started getting specific records, building towards band discographies… next thing I know, I’m dropping £25 per record for two bootleg records that were definitely not worth the price. Was a watershed moment and one that made me take a step back.

Ticked over for a year or two, next thing I know vinyl records are now in Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Every new release comes on vinyl, and they’re now £25+. Charity shops are now just full of junk vinyl, and all the second hand stores now charge £25+ because their pressings are “original”… all the fun is now gone.

How would the world feel about a ridge Racer, RR revolution, rage racer and RR type 4 remaster/reboot? The same game mechanics, menus, modes etc, just with a modern gaming engine and graphics.

As Linus said, think of it like watching a Top Gear/VIN Wiki video about a super car. I just want to see it at its best, and going fast.

Yeah, talk about some downsides but recognise this isn’t a product for everyone. His attitude of “don’t buy it at all” was really bad faith.

The communication re: the auction of the billet product appears to be a genuine fuck up, and LMG needs to do as much as it can to own that.

The review, and subsequent doubling down on WAN of [sic] “do not buy this product” , however, is down right negligent. Billet are a start up and every review or demo of their product is absolutely critical to their success. To say “we want you to eat” is borderline offensive. LMG must recognise the majority who watch LTT are often casual and will forever just remember “Linus said no” and not question it further.

While I commend the attitude of not being drawn into an online pissing contest with GN, I think the least they could do is remove the video, retest and evaluate, and offer a sincere apology for the previous efforts.

Everything else is a QC issue. Do less with more, and you won’t have to spend so much time putting out very public fires such as this.

Any prebuilt computer released in the last two years has secureboot and automatic bitlocker encryption with keys in the Microsoft account, meaning that this antivirus removal USB drive wouldn’t even boot, and if it could, it couldn’t access any file on the computer

I was disappointed this issue was not addressed at all during its review. The type of person this product is aimed at wouldn’t have a clue this was potentially the case.

Feel you with Attack on Titan - goes into some weird places and I lost interest.

Have you tried Initial D? Old school 90’s early 2000’s teen comedy drama about street racing. It’s really funny and touching at the right moments.

With this in mind, I’ve read anecdotes that say you should have a monitor that ideally has double the refresh rate as the FPS of the game you’re playing. The thought being, I suppose, that as the monitor is refreshing more frequently, it will more likely catch a frame.

I can’t find where I read/watched this, but if anyone has any input or tests to this 3ffect I’d be interested to see it again.

The hill I’m prepared to die on on is that I think an elephant is the only mammal that could pull off wearing two pairs of cargo shorts at once.

An elephant is the only mammal with 4 forward facing knees.

Worked in bars as a supervisor for 3 years, almost everytime I decided to cut a patron off (usually for being too drunk, or for being an arsehole) I would be met with “you can’t do that, it’s illegal, you HAVE to serve me”

No, I don’t. Service is at my discretion, and it wouldn often be unethical for me to continue to provide you with more alcohol, endangering yours and others around you further.

Infinity for Reddit still works. Once it stops, Reddit will become a site I may only visit on my desktop, which is not a common event.
