You can still blacklist Twitter and any lazy ass 'journalists' that make an article based on a Twitter post and hotlink to said post. Many ways to say fuck Elon Musk

Edit: also Reddit. Fuck spez

Edit: also Facebook. Fuck Zuck. Glad he can finally afford to put pubes on his head tho

My (now) wife had a poster of the Roadster in her bedroom when it was a concept car and she was in her teens. Her parents eventually got a Model S but now they talk about how embarassed they feel driving it around. She must've had that poster from back when Elon was just that balding kid from Paypal lol

I have a newer C4 and I don't think it's bad. It's not too obtrusive and there are guides to opt out of everything, but then again I'm not too concerned with data privacy in regard to my television, so I might be biased

I think the biggest thing is convenience. It's a lot easier for the launcher to do some handshakes and check/update to current patch. Other way is client opening, client closing, patch applied, client opens yet again, that type of deal

Fallout 4. I think they did most things right with Survival mode and I'd consider it an entirely different game than the vanilla 'fast travel and save anywhere' experience, and it'd be fun to see an even more polished version with more focus on surviving in a world where NPCs are also trying to survive as opposed to more mechanics that don't really broach that aspect such as settlement building. If they made a Fallout 5 that was a bit more challenging in that regard I'd probably consider it a masterpiece

About a year ago a homeless woman had a miscarriage in my city and a couple local media outlets jumped on it, reporting that 'police had found a dead fetus in an encampment'. Ya know, after she called 911 because she had a miscarriage. Really helped solidify my belief that a lot of people would rather just stigmatize them than do anything else

I have one of the drawers and I'd consider myself organized. I try to keep it organized with one of these rather large Ikea Stodja drawer organizers. I used to use silverware organizers but stumbled upon this thing, 14"x20". They come in other shapes and sizes too but is a lot handier than using a regular silverware organizer because the compartments are pretty large.

Pens and notepads/post-it notes in one, batteries and an Eneloop wall charger in another, hair ties/lip gloss/rubber bands in another, big compartment holds a roll of packing tape and various other tapes, and another slot has a couple pairs of scissors.

I'd recommend getting a larger organizer just so you can compartmentalize larger things together, something a silverware organizer usually can't accomplish

Not only bladder cancer but a whole bunch of things. I used to run home from work and I would always pee right beforehand so I wouldn't risk having to find some sort of place to pee, but then I started peeing blood every couple of weeks when my mileage went up to around the 10 mile mark. Apparently hematuria can happen from basically having a totally empty bladder chafe itself raw if you run long enough lol. I quit peeing before leaving work after my doctor recommended giving that a shot and it cleared up

It's a small business and there aren't any sort of laws regarding naming conventions or titles/roles that must be filled. Sometimes 'owner' is who runs the show after all

Technically yeah, colloquially no sane person would judge another for calling such a thing a tank

Makes sense considering many protections don't extend to civil matters, and he wasn't even acting in any sort of governmental role at neither the time of the incident which compelled him to make the payment nor at the time of the payment itself.

The payment happened in October and this may be a shitty analogy but imo it's like someone running a dozen red lights because they're late to a police officer job interview. I mean, it may help them get the job but they're acting as a private citizen and not in any sort of governmental capacity and it'd be absolutely bonkers for them to argue that they should retroactively have any sort of immunity on the basis that they did in fact get the job
