I have this feeling too. But any game that requires an internet connection to work will eventually end up being bricked when its servers are shut down.

I recently played Helldiver’s 1 on the PS vita, and realized the servers were disabled. despite those servers being down you could still essentially play the game, even though its not as fun.

It’s so polite I can’t not delete one of my important files and share the Albanian virus.

I bet google doesn’t have to. They can still mine your data and sell it for profit. They’re a data company first after all.

I swear I saw something about these being two different types of insects. Can someone confirm?

“You’re talking to me”: How do we determine from which POV we’re looking from? Seems like the POV is from whomever sends this picture, so wouldn’t that mean that we’re looking through OPs eyes? CMV

To go hang out with people in a cool setting while having alcohol-like drinks without the problems. Like going to a Kava bar or something, or tea bar. Bunch of places out there with themed drinks to hang out. Sometimes you like the taste of cocktails but don’t want to get drunk.

I’m not big of a fan of Chinese surveillance but to most peoples point that have already posted here, if this was about privacy then the government should be passing laws to protect consumer privacy as a whole and not just targeting Chinese companies. Really shows that the government doesn’t give a shit about your privacy just who’s able to get it.

I’ve thought about using these kinds of camera/common systems but a while ago when I looked into it they seemed to have so-so video footage quality and had so-so battery life. I’d be interested to know what other people think too, currently have a sena and go pro setup.

Looking at their website, I don’t see much about interoperability between brands though, and no specifics on battery life when in use. I’m not sure if you’ll ever get good footage at night though, I haven’t tested that with my gopro so I can’t speak to that.

But who was phone?

I wouldn’t be too surprised. After the heart beat bills that came out soon after the supreme court ruling a lot of language for abortion pills felt like it could be applied potentially to birth control. I don’t think those bills passed where I am but it is worrying.

When I tried setting up a new computer I initially started with Windows. Going through that new setup process was such a pain in the ass with how Microsoft tries to connect you to their services. I just want to use the damn computer without any of these ‘extra’ services. Like, is it so difficult to have an OS that you can just simply install and use without any BS? Its what finally pushed me to move to Linux. Haven’t looked back since.

Why haven’t these sanctions already been in effect? Seems like every now and then there are some more sanctions being added but why not just do them all already?

Wow, that research article is loooonng. Could only get halfway before needing a break. Really cool insights!

Looks like the UK is breathing a sigh of relief after this.

Looks like the FBI kept his message from going through because it was a faux pas on the senders side to not know who Joe is.

While I agree, the UK needs to chip a little more in too. This is everyone’s problem, not just the United States.

I think you’re misconstruing what I’m trying to say, however I think at this point the conversation isn’t getting anywhere.

If you don’t want to take a look at any of the links ive given or provide decent studies to prove your point then I don’t think there’s a conversation to be had here. You clearly have your own biases that you don’t want to address. Agree to disagree.

Ps: Here’s my first link if you change your mind. https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/homeless

Its foremost the drug issue that’s a problem for me. It hurts people and communities. I bring up homelessness because from what I’ve seen and what studies show, its a concentrated center of abuse. Its where people have the most need for intervention. It’s personal to me because I’ve it ruins communities.

I bring up homelessness because its relatable to what ive seen personally and can see where rehabilitation can do the most good. To me, they arent too far from each other. It sucks seeing communities struggling with suffering, needles all over the place and what amounts to people looking like zombies in the street. It’s sad and ruins communities. In the link I attached there is a correlation between homelessness and drug use. Without proper treatment and intervention many will OD and their issues will go unresolved. I don’t understand what you mean by casual relationship. There clearly is a correlation from what I’ve read. Do you have any data to prove otherwise?

I guess the crux of the issue is I just simply don’t think full legalization of all drugs is a good idea. Hard drugs are bad for the community at large you can take a look at these studies https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/05/30/as-fatal-overdoses-rise-many-americans-see-drug-addiction-as-a-major-problem-in-their-community/ If you have some links to studies I’ll gladly take a look at them that say otherwise.

I like the idea of harm reduction but I think that’s one step of the larger approach of dealing with drug addiction.

I can get behind that. But also from the article it says that these people often don’t seek out help either. To your point, housing is another part of the problem that these lawmakers failed to address.
