Your use of the word is probably also valid, but this is the more known form at this point.

Phreaking, if you’d like to explore it more.

At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.

Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company “you’ve likely never encountered” rather than “noone has heard of”, the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.

You are about 20 years too late for any of this to make sense. China tech is on par with other countries now. It is still lower cost for bad reasons alot of the time, but good quality tech is readily available now. You don’t have to go very far up from the absolute cheapest unit price to get to the quality either, but of course, it’s the American way to always seek out the absolute cheapest product, quality be damned. And the absolute cheapest will often come from China, despite needing to cross an ocean.

A “made in America” sticker also does not carry the meaning it used to 20 years ago either. You can get some of the shittiest cheap stuff “made in America”, it just won’t be the cheapest shitty stuff, despite being made locally to you, since the company still needs to make sure they are infinitely increasing profits forever…

At the absolute minimum, we can guarantee by what he does in public, that there is certainly pedophile tapes. And I can’t even begin to speculate what else, cuz I don’t want to. I very much prefer pretending nothing even worse than that can exist.

And they’ll keep at it until the weather people stop making up that it’s getting hotter. If they would just say “everything is ok, the weather is fixed now, we can go back to making money without feeling guilty” then they would stop getting fired. Easy problem to solve.

/s of course…

Hehe, yeah. Well, it’s not like there is a small amount of us. And that’s without including all the people that just don’t know yet. So, it still makes for popular comic material.

Your friends know you have an executive function disorder. They will still be happier to get a response eventually. There might be some gentle ribbing, but it’ll be intended to be taken in stride.

Yeah, “well, there were other meetings going on which had to end first” and “there was absolutely no wait time at all”…

I think I can discern what he meant but couldn’t articulate, but if we have to interpret what a more capable person would have said any time the president speaks…

But since we do have to interpret what he must have meant, my interpretation is that he was trying to say “there was reasonable justification for the wait time, it wasn’t artificially increased as a power-play”. Though a counter argument would be, that is exactly how a power play of artificially increasing wait times is accomplished. Instead of scheduling stuff so that people will be met with at a reasonable time given their circumstances, things are shuffled around to make the person unsure when they are supposed to go in. Enough so that they can’t leave cuz it could be any minute, but long enough that they should feel slighted. 2 hours would be a pretty ridiculous slight. Making someone spend 8 hours in your lobby without leaving is overkill. That means the whole time they kept assuring him it would be soon. At no point did they give him any heads up that he could maybe safely go to lunch or dinner or whatever since it wasn’t gonna be “that” soon.

For these meetings, it is generally considered a normal level of respect for the meeting to occur within an hour of the plane landing. Especially for someone who should be incredibly busy and scheduled to have other meetings in other countries that same day.

8 hours is fully, literally, toying with him. 100% showing how little they respect him and who he represents. 3 or 4 hours would have accomplished a complete and utter embarrassment… they wanted to set a record, just for fun.

Wu and Tang, eh? I don’t know enough to know how plausible it is that those are their real names, but if so, then it’s an interesting co-incidence.

Awesome, that’s what I was hoping to hear. I miss the olden days when it was more realistic that you had to/could work for your car, and slowly upgrade and save up. Now that isn’t even believable in a video game world anymore, it’s been replaced with winning cars in a lottery, the only believable way for people to afford a nice car nowadays. Hehe.

What he means by “if he was in charge there wouldn’t have been a war” is that he would have made sure Ukraine couldn’t defend itself. It wouldn’t have been called a war cuz Russia would have just taken it.

And with it unified, it’s easier to tie multiple online identities back to which one single person they all are.

Hehe, yeah. Honestly, that could be describing the British and American armed forces at some points in history. It just talks about military might and blitz tactics. Nothing about murdering their own people or lethal experimentation or mass mass incarcerations without just cause. And while it certainly “seems” like they would probably be pretty authoritarian, it doesn’t really say that either. And authoritarian also isn’t automatically fascist or nazi. Just a common component of them.

The tactics described are actually pretty normal war tactics.

So, just an army guy. Lots of women like army guys for their discipline and reliability. Especially when there is not an active war going, all the upsides with none of the drawbacks. Presumably, in this game, we can expect he won’t get called away to war. Probably a bit more popular with conservative women than liberal women, but not by as much as you might think.

And as for the older guy, not only are there indeed 20 year olds that find that attractive, but 30 and 40 and 50+ year old women are playing these games too, in fact it’s one of the highest female demographic game types combined with also being one of the highest average age demographics. Not to mention, if non-hetero relationships are possible with any partner, that dude looks like a prime bear candidate for the guys that like that.

Personally, having just seen all this now, I would have voted for Ines, so I’m glad she made it. She probably has lots of other cool traits too, but for some reason, pink hair just gets me. I would also accept pretty much any shade combo of blue/green, or purple hair. I think those hair colors are mostly just a good real life sign that a girl is just as nerdy as we are, hehe. And not afraid to show it in public, for the few minutes we are out in public each month. In a couple years, it’ll be the girl casually wearing VR/AR/XR gear full time.

I’m not hoping the person from 4 chan is also in here, just giving general advice for anyone reading it now.

One way to understand them better is to occasionally talk. Cuz like, guys and girls are actually incredibly similar. A couple of conversations a day, with the occasional really good conversation, can go a very long way towards understanding each other. Everything you don’t talk about is one more thing you won’t understand.

It’s described in the article, got to it from one of the other links on lemmy. It’s the older tower of terror smaller carnival rides. The ones that are like 20-40 seats around a central pole and the seats alternate between going up and down the pole at as rapid a pace as that much weight can be cheaply moved.

The video in question is about someone falling off of it.

As far as they care, they just want to reduce the chance that they find someone attractive and then find out that person has a penis. They don’t care who they have to hurt so that they don’t have to risk potentially in the future feeling one second of mild discomfort.

It didn’t play out how he wanted it to, and people were pushing back and talking about it being very illegal, people that matter. So, of course, it was a joke all along. “Man, you guys thought I was serious? Could you imagine? You guys really need to lighten up and take a joke better. So serious…”

We’ve all been on the other end of that from the various douchebags in our lives.

Also “ha, you flinched!” They like when people react like that.
