NTH: Hello everyone, I just found out this old game, Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, it looks super cool!

Wow, it sure is a unique game experience! I’m ordering a deluxe account right now!!

RIP Kolanaki’s SNES

I loved Secret of Mana and on several playthroughs, the hardest boss, for me, has always been that damn tiger in the witch’s castle. When it zig-zagged like a spike ball, the chances of getting wiped were huge. One hit = unconscious.

Printers worked better back then. Also the cartridges came with more ink lol

I’d ask for royalties or whatever it is for use of my likeness

In ex Spanish or Portuguese colonies, where having 2-4 family names is common, that happening would mean someone in your (extended) family did it

Only works for face to face communication, every long distance text will still be monitored. With enough video calls done solely using sign language, you’ll also help tools to better decipher the messages.

As others pointed out, it’s security through partial obscurity, no different from talking in esperanto or lojban.

Should’ve used more of his own blood. A lot more. Like all of it

muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone

his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (…) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.

He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it’s not the shovel seller

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.

Can we assume his puts aren’t for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?

As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet

Something something irrational solvent something

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,”

One of the companies is making all the money and it’s not Palantir.

My important documents are all in a folder inside my closet. Somewhere.

Other than that, the only stuff of value that I have are electronics, like my laptop, tv, phones.

The real question that remains unanswered: why the fuck did that boy try to earn a Darwin Award? One or two would be an accident, 100 is done on purpose

I think all schools in Brazil have uniform, even private ones. No such thing as “physical education uniform”, tho, you sweat on the same shirt you stay in class, so everyone is kind of forced to have 5 fucking uniform shirts and 2-3 pairs of pants and shorts, which makes it feel more like free money extortion rather than anything else.

I don’t know enough about school history in my country to really tell whether this is some form of authoritarian bullshit or not, since there was some sort of education reform during the dictatorship (1964-1985) which led to a significant increase in private schools since, as “public school” became synonymous with “shit education”, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it originated from that line of thought. I mean, schools here operate on assembly line logic, so uniforms make perfect sense.

MAH KRISSHAN VALUWS!!!

A word that starts with X in those languages will have the “sh” sound, so “Xit” will sound exactly like you’d expect to hear “shit”, without having to worry about whether the letters are representing the sound decently. I mean, pinyin fucking sucks, who the fuck thought that a good stand in for “j” or “dj” sound would be “zh”? Or that C alone is a good representation of “tz” sound??

Works better if you think in Spanish or Portuguese

Tangent: Jami is p2p, so the only risk of going offline is if everyone in the groups go offline. It does lack several quality of life features, though.

Capcom is 100% betting on their Japanese viewers, the west is just a “sad casualty”, so to speak. If this ends up working in their favor, expect this shit to expand to other companies and tournaments, just like pay2win did.
