It's not like they couldn't put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they're about to do something controversial again soon.

North Korea says its satellite spied US nuclear submarine.
  • UngodlyAudrey UngodlyAudrey Now 100%

    Yeah, as soon as I saw the word "satellite", I knew it was a nothingburger. If a submarine is on the surface, it isn't trying to hide. If it's submerged, it's impossible for a satellite to detect it. You'd need sonar to pick it up.

    The M's have been dead in the water for a while now; the only reason I have not completely checked out is that the White Sox are so historically bad.

    oof. Yeah, they did the right thing pulling the plug on this for now. You'd probably spend more time waiting for a match to queue up than actually playing the game.

    Wow, this is absolutely wild. From launch to delisting in two weeks. Yeah, there's a good chance that this is temporary while they pivot to a free-to-play model, but holy crap. Guess the PS5 player count must not be substantially higher than the abysmal Steam player count.

  • Supreme Court Blocks, for Now, Another Biden Student Debt Plan
  • UngodlyAudrey UngodlyAudrey Now 100%

    Kids were pushed for decades to take large loans at age 18 because they were told constantly that if they didn't go to college, they'd be stuck flipping burgers, digging ditches or whatever. Of course they'd take the loan at that point. Honestly, they've been set up to fail. This is just another tool used to trap people in wage slavery. Forgive the damn debt. I don't care if it's "unfair" to those who don't have college debt. I don't, but I still want it to happen.

    Yeah, hopefully the inclusiveness trend continues.

    Then we'd be going back to having the vast majority of games having a cis male protagonist. No thanks. I don't mind playing as them from time to time, but I want a choice, especially if the main character is one of those blank slate types.

  • Why I think people should consider using different pronouns in different spaces
  • UngodlyAudrey UngodlyAudrey Now 100%

    For me, anyway, they/them is in its own category, where they aren't my pronouns, but I have no issue with someone using them for me. I wouldn't get upset unless someone is blatantly trying to use it to misgender me for whatever reason. In your situation, if it makes you feel more comfy to use gender neutral pronouns for me, I'm fine with it.

  • UngodlyAudrey UngodlyAudrey Now 100%

    Interesting idea, but I don't think that'd work for me. I only have one set of pronouns (she/her), anything else feels like a misgender to me.

    Oh, yes I absolutely plan to play around with some looks. bee happy emoji

    The past day has been full of near misses because I still haven't that I have something on my face I need to account for.

    Thanks! Also, I've seen you around before, but I love your username!

    It's not a chain, so unless you live right by me, it wouldn't help. The brand is "Reid Bransen", which I've absolutely never heard of, but the only actual result when googling points to the facebook page of my optometrist's office. So, yeah, can't help you much.

    I'm glad this thread has helped!

    I'd say I do have have sensory issues, but they're mostly audio/feel/taste related, not visual. That being said, I've been indoors most of the time so far, so we'll see how the sun affects me.

    I have a pair of over ear headphones that I haven't tried with these on yet. I put them on and at first, anyway, they seem to be comfy enough. Does seem a bit quieter than usual, though.

    Thanks! bee party emoji

    Between work and home, I spend almost all my time on the computer! I never even considered that a separate longer distance pair could be helpful. Good to know.

    My current glasses are plastic. This was me mostly cheaping out, but I did worry me a bit that metal would be uncomfy. I might get a metal spare just to see if I prefer that instead.

    Thanks~ bee happy emoji

  • Sorry about the awkward title; I had a lot of trouble trying to word it. Anyway, I got my first pair of glasses yesterday. I went in for my first eye exam in nearly a decade, and apparently I have mild astigmatism. So for the past day I've been getting used to the sensation of having glasses on (I never cared for sunglasses, personally; I've always found them hard to see in) and getting a touch of euphoria about how they conceal the brow somewhat. But then it kinda hit me that I don't really know anything about glasses, having not used them until age 36. I probably should have asked some questions about it when I picked them up, but I was kinda sick and didn't want to stick around there too long. I know I could just google it, but google sucks now, plus, I may as well use the AskBeehaw platform, it's pretty quiet.

    I swear that if Biden dies of covid so soon after Trump survives an assassination attempt, we are never going to hear the end of it. The MAGA folks already have been crowing about how God saved Trump. Get well soon, Joe.

    As a long time Dragon Age fan, I've been really, just iffy about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, especially since the very first trailer that they put out. The vibes were way off, like they were making a trailer for a Fortnite crossover rather than a dark fantasy game. The gameplay trailer afterward did seem to be more of what I was expecting, so I am more cautiously optimistic now. Guess we'll see.

    Seriously, Joe, do you not know the stakes? "Sure, America fell to fascism, but I tried my best." For fucks sake, Trump has straight up said he was going to be a dictator, and the Supreme Court will back him all the way. It's unbelievable that all that stands between us and the fall of the republic is a man in his 80s who isn't fully cognizant of the situation.
