Zootopia is what happens when liberals try to depict race relations without any knowledge of Marxism, which has a similar effect to trying to depict a human without any knowledge of the skeleton.

Never think anything that begins with "The rich can't be depraved enough to..." is true, even if the second half of that sentence is "...send their own children to torture camps."

spoilerI'm frightened to consider how the hell they managed to find him. How'd they know he was in Brooklyn, much less specifically where in Brooklyn?

Between this and some of the stuff in OttoboyEmpire's modlog, I'm starting to think that OttoboyEmpire just hates children lol

Remembering the time a renowned lib writer posted an article saying that democracy is incompatible with climate action because 97% of Americans buy gas cars

I have a signal. I can call fine. I can text fine. I can use wi-fi fine. But any time I try to connect to the internet using mobile data, it tells me there's no connection. The phone is a Galaxy A02s. Here's everything I've tried:

  • Making sure mobile data is on (it is)
  • Making sure I can send and receive calls and SMS messages (I can)
  • Toggling mobile data off, then back on
  • Toggling airplane mode off, then back on
  • Turning the phone off, then back on
  • Removing and reinserting the SIM card

Was in a comment section about designing games to respect the player's time and mentioned I never finished Hollow Knight because it makes you fight the final boss again each time you want to give the secret boss another shot.

Someone jumped in literally telling me "GET GOOD" and when I told them there were other things I'd rather be doing, they followed up with "so don't get hard games just to complain about." They never responded when I asked them how I was supposed to know exactly how hard everything in the game would be before I ever played it.

Every fucking time. I swear I can set my watch by it. The Dark Souls series has earned my undying enmity for what it has done to gaming discourse.

This match was a nail-biter. Played Black. I got most of the board early on, but made an early blunder that cost me a fair amount of territory in the south (you can see that in the removed stone at C1).

Then White invaded me in the lower right and things got hairy. You can see a remnant of the fight in F3-H3 - that gap was part of their attacking force that I cut off and destroyed. It ultimately came down to a fight in the northeast where I was just barely able to prevent them from getting two eyes. It ended up encompassing most of my territory (though I'm sure I could've nipped it in the bud if I were a better player).

Climbed from 29k to 27k. Still absolute beginner territory, but it's nice to see after several days of freefall, and I've been winning enough that I think I'll push it higher in the days ahead.

Been playing 9x9 exclusively, and I think it's been very good at teaching me what works and what doesn't on a small-scale tactical level. I feel like I've gotten a much better sense of when it's safe to hane, when a group needs reinforcement, when it's viable to attack an enemy group, etc.

Wasted an hour in Noi Bai Airport before I found him again.

I was White, AI was Black. I don't feel as though I made any major blunders in this one - Black was just able to secure more territory, well beyond what they needed to offset my komi. I'm still only rarely able to win on 9x9 on Kosumi, and this sort of game is typical for me.

You may notice that I played very cautiously but that's because when I try to be bold it always ends in disaster, lol

This game is addictive as hell. I can see why it's lasted for literally millennia.

I discovered this when I finally got desperate enough to try reseating the GPU, went to unplug the HDMI cable from it, and realized that the HDMI cable was in fact not plugged into the GPU

Anyway, I'm loving my new prebuilt PC

Continued from here

  • Took it in last Tuesday, early this afternoon they called to let me know it was fixed
  • New processor was bad, did not work with known good machines
  • RAM was apparently loosely seated which was causing the lack of display. They said they were able to get it to POST (and installed the latest BIOS update)
  • I took it home. It does not POST.
  • I am taking the computer back tomorrow morning. If they can't get it working in front of me, I am giving up and buying a prebuilt PC online
