In a way, it is…

I prefer to chew my calories, thanks.

Fun fact: I used to work as a fraud analyst for aajor telecom company. British Indian Ocean territory islands were extremely high fraud destinations for telecom fraud. I always assumed the people there were basically making ends meet through fraud. (Usually hacking corporate PBX systems and directing phone traffic to premium rate service lines there) But I think it’s more likely that the phone companies there aren’t so much committing the fraud, but facilitate it with their PRS lines where they surely keep some of the revenue generated.

That’s who I am!

Several for sure. Back in my 20’s at parties and punk shows. Nazi punks fuck off!!

Animaniacs

Gargoyles

Oh HELL naw

I’m gen x and wish I was not cut.

I thought that if you swallowed your gum, it would stay in your stomach forever, so you had to make sure to never do it because eventually there would be no room for food anymore.

Also, old CRT TVs had this static electricity sort of fuzzy feeling on the screen, and if you ran your hand over it, it would dissipate. I thought that by doing that, you were absorbing the TVs power and if you did it too much, it would eventually stop working.

Lastly, I believed with all my heart that all the pets you ever owned were waiting for you in heaven and it made me mad when my (very devout Catholic) grandma told me that pets and animals don’t have souls and so they didn’t go to heaven. I said if that was true then I didn’t want to go to heaven! I’m atheist now, so I don’t even believe that anyone goes to heaven, but if anyone deserves to go, it’s all the kitties, puppies, and various rodentia I’ve loved in my life.

My response is getting downvoted. Even downvotes won’t give EAC kernel access on my computer 😂

Punched a Nazi in the jaw at a party once. He left and everyone was happier once he did. Fuck that Nazi and his sore Nazi jaw.

I would agree that it’s not “inconceivable”. I can conceive of it just fine. It’s just a pretty absurd idea.

From two years ago, for time context, regarding EAC in Linux:

No. It has zero kernel access, and that’s not even possible.

EAC has (and has had for years) a native Linux client. That native Linux client is userspace only and has zero kernel access. Before, it was only for native Linux games that had EAC, like War Thunder, 7 Days to Die, Rust (before they abandoned Linux), etc. Epic refused to allow the Linux native EAC to work with Windows EAC games through Wine/Proton. That changed last fall, when Epic made the announcement.

Now, EAC games that work in Wine/Proton use the LINUX NATIVE EAC client, which communicates with a Linux EAC binary that each game that enables support ships, alongside their Windows EAC binary. The Steam Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime is also required. This runtime allows the NATIVE Linux EAC client (which again, is 100% userspace only and has no kernel level access) to communicate with the Windows userspace EAC binary, to allow for a less-secure but still better than nothing EAC functionality for Windows games running in Wine/Proton.

The exact same situation is true for BattlEye. BattlEye has had a native Linux client for years, but it was userspace only, and didn’t work with Wine/Proton games. Now it does, in the same way EAC does.

This is also why so many games are refusing to enable it. Because it’s inherently less secure against cheaters than the kernel-level EAC/BattlEye Windows implementation. Just read 343’s Destiny 2 comments from the past week and you’ll see that exact reasoning. And I (and others) said from the beginning when it was announced last fall that many games would in fact refuse to enable EAC/BE support because of the less secure nature and increased risk of cheaters. And I was right.

Yeah that would definitely be my biggest worry. If I weren’t diabetic now I would try it.

Hot overnight oats? I always made them in a mason jar in the fridge. My favorite was 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, all in a jar and then fill the rest of the jar up with frozen blueberries and strawberries (cut ones). Close, put in fridge, eat cold the next morning. The oats will have soaked up the liquid and gotten soft. It’s a nice cold cereal and quick to pour into a bowl, stir a bit, and chow down.

Remember the girl that said shit like “Mm ice cream so good” and “gang gang” on TikTok? She got hella rich. I remember she reported a number, I don’t ever what it was, but she made it in a week and it was more than my annual salary.

“I am single issue” - at least you are under no illusion about it.

Single issue voters are hilarious. That’s how we got here.

The problem is turnout. If Texans, especially young Texans, just voted, you’d see a big swing. Someone else responding in this thread under my initial comment has left a massive post with statistics about it.

Yes! I had forgotten his name! Haha wow, I need to go watch that show again, it’s been a long time.
