I have zero problems with the Pope retconning the bible into a more peaceful, anti-war version.

You may have misread something here, Coleman is in favour of the bill, not against.

Err, the law requiring social media to register also has very broad provisions for government mandated removal of content from these social media. So it's not exactly unlikely that that would have been the next step after the registration deadline had passed.

You are completely right that social media needs some form of regulation to avoid their nasty sides btw. But that's not what this law was seemingly intent on doing.

They can, it's harmless to the wildlife.

"Porn" is extremely broad. There's plenty of perfectly ethical porn around. Most major producers have pretty strong standards these days. It's not the same industry as it was 10 years ago.

But in this specific case they went after a porn game, not featuring real people. There's basically no real harm here. People occasionally argue that porn addiction is a problem, but that's mostly an addiction problem, which goes for most addictions. The thing addicted too isn't the problem, it's the very nature of being addicted that's causing the issue.

It's fine of course to dislike porn, but to effectively ban people from producing and consuming it is an entirely different matter. That does seem like a massive encroachment on individual rights to me.

Meh, those are just the programmers that are remembered.

They did lots of dumb shit too. Mario 64 was a super-innovative game at the time with its free 3D platforming. There's also tons of weird code in there, and the developers also fucked up by shipping a debug build of the game, costing a not insignificant amount of performance.

So borked in fact that the author's fursona face-palmed in response.

It has, it was forced to by Turkey: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/

All joint exercises and meetings were stopped and nothing w.r.t. aid for Israel was approved. All vetoed.

You can degoogle on Android you know. Takes some effort, but the end result is better than moving into a walled garden.

Trump is way too much of a wuss to cut himself, nor is he dextrous enough to professionally hide himself doing it.

Honestly with the 7950x3D being so powerful, you rarely notice it if a game isn't fully utilizing it. I have one and I'm very pleased with it!

It's a simple adventure movie with likable characters, a good cast, a plot that captivates but is not unnecessarily complex, excellent humour and none of the many references to DnD feel forced at all.

Easy 9/10 imo.
