He was given 21.5 years in prison, it’s not gonna matter much if he can apply for a license after getting out from that. Looking at him, I’d say he’s around 45-55, so 21.5 means he’ll be aged to the point of more likely to fail the exam then pass it.

Same as Odysseus

Police do not stop crimes, at least not here in the USA. Police punish after the crime happens, at best.

Also the sleep function on Steam Deck is pretty good. I bring mine to work and grab some offline playtime during my 15 minute breaks, and sometimes during my 30 min lunch after i eat. No Man’s Sky is chill and easy to pickup/putdown, Minecraft as well. I’m sure other titles would work as well.

Underrated comment 👏

I could use a brush up on my Latin, but is that whale killing Virus basically called “Whale Killer Virus”?

This is a cartoon about the USA prison system isn’t it?

I agree, the average situation is certainly rife with more nuance. For example, my young ones play Minecraft, despite that being implicated as a vector used by pedophiles to find and groom victims. However, I long ago did like you have suggested and limited the online options and communications my kids can interact with, as well as using that as an opportunity to speak with them about why those protections where in place.

My issue with Roblox is that as a company, they routinely downplay the role their platform plays in such crimes, and have actively prevented such activity from being stopped while taking no steps to filter or moderate such things from their end. Yes, parents need to do more then just hand a child a screen so they stop needing attention, but a platform that exploits predator usage is exploiting children.

Now some parents may not be knowledgeable about this, and I can understand that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. However, a parent who chooses to sour a family holiday because the whim of their spawn was not bowed to is not, generally speaking, a good parent. The combination of this with the usage of a pedophile-supporting platform aimed at children while clearly not setting healthy boundaries with the child, are the reason I would say this person is a bad parent. It’s not one factor, its the culmination of multiple that result in this reasoning.

So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.

You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.

First choose a version of linux to install on it, then you can proceed.

Carl’s Jr, fuck you!

And yet there is a such a surplus of milk that the US gov has bought the extra in order to keep cheese prices sustainable for the high number of dairy farmers, then turned the milk into a national stockpile of cheese and then sell it cheaply to help find the entire racket, for the last few decades.

Power brick, USB-C cable, external battery, earbud headphones.

Sometimes I also add a folding bluetooth keyboard, mini bluetooth mouse, and USB drives, but that’s only when I’m gonna use the Deck as a computer for 3D modeling or typing tasks.

I have nothing against the original, I used it for a few months and it works great. I switched to a different case when I got a different charger and other cords to use with the external battery I added to the ‘entourage’ for the Deck. The original case didn’t have the room for all that, and things like earbuds didn’t like to stay in the elastic hollow of the original. Wasn’t a big deal, but it was a noticeable change after switching cases.

Buy a nice case for transporting it. I like my JSAUX case, it has alot more storage space then the stock case.

“See no Evil, Hear no Evil” - 1989 Funny comedy, has my previous comment as a line in it.

Does dad know?!

For shade 😎

Woah woah woah, this about chemtrails? I can’t believe I’m even surprised, really, but how can these idiots be focused on this rather then literally any of the actual issues that people are facing right now?

That’s a rhetorical question, I already known the answer is they want to handwave away real issues and only focus on the theater issues they themselves create to generate outrage.

But I mean, they want to outlaw the imaginary chemtrails? Didn’t have that on my apocalyptic bingo card.

I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.

I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.

If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.
