Forgot the algebra using fruit emoji or whatever the fuck.
Bonus points for the stuff where suddenly one of the symbols has changed and it's "supposedly" 1/2 or 2/3 etc. of a banana now, without that symbol having been defined.
Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...
That's nothing new. Aside from resistance (vaguely the same mechanism as antibiotic resistance), some chemotherapy regimens could end up causing other forms of cancer - after all, fucking with DNA is what a lot of it does.
Haven't watched any of them in a minute, but all I remember from the third and/or fourth was a kid with an RC car, and how it all seemed more like a bootleg version than a sequel.

That's an actual expression in Norwegian. "Dry" humor means basically the same as in English. A "wet joke" is something you'd probably make this kind of face at.
Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website.

I don't hate them, I just... dislike and resent them for all their bullshit. I still use Google, I have an Android, I use YouTube (albeit heavily modified to make it, y'know, livable) etc for now.
Well, that's... not smart. Maintaining Win95 on actual hardware and implying they'd lose the data if those ancient pieces of crap went down? Big yikes. One thing is "how did you not virtualize this 10+ years ago", but man, backups??

If you're a weeb there's an entire genre of this stuff: iyashi-kei ("soothing type/genre"). I've enjoyed a bunch of them, though some of them get pretty saccharine if that's a worry. There's a large overlap with "slice of life", and a lot of these are set in school for whatever reason - YMMV. I like Azumanga Daioh, though the anime adaptation is a little aged. Nichijou is adorable and leans more into absurdism if that's your thing. "Yotsuba&!" is freaking precious, but manga only - same guy as Azumanga Daioh.
For non-weeb stuff I'll mention Brooklyn Nine-Nine, also Parks and Recreation once it hits its stride.

The idea that there could be a truly neutral source is not really realistic, human minds do not work that way and there are many other reasons why it's even harder than that.
As long as you stay away from the blatant extremes, partisans, people with some other stake in the game, etc., all you can do is evaluate relative bias, and try to adjust for it. It is inevitable that your take isn't going to be unbiased, either, but this way you'll have had a decent shot at minimizing wrongness.
do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used...
Yes. I've never had a super easy time getting into new games, and for the past several years I haven't seen one thing that's even slightly interesting. Depression is a factor, but also a lot of new games are straight up dog shit. I tend to fall back on retro gaming. I think I have 90 minutes played in Starfield and that's the only new game I played for the past several years.
It could be perfectly benign, you just pick up on new flavor notes after eating the same thing for a while. Your first chili is not going to be too fruity, because it's busy tasting like burning. Your first cup of coffee might not be very pleasant because coffee-naive people typically only taste the bitter at first. Maybe some flavor compound in the cheese is also in honey. It's unlikely anyone should add honey, and then it'd be on the label.
On the other hand, it's very common for infections (COVID, especially) to mess up your sense of taste and smell. It could make almost anything smell like almost anything.
One thing to try if it's obviously not an infection is "just buy better cheese" and see if there are still unexpected flavors.
Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?
It's a hack - unsanctioned third party extensions are inherently pretty hackish and just work however they can. They frequently depend on things that can change in unpredictable ways, so breaking with updates is just business as usual.
Assuming the project is actively maintained, there should be a fix available at some point.
Edit: this is assuming they have their own infrastructure, I have no idea if that's true. If things were really relying on hidden but "deprecated" API stuff, like some people ITT say, you could be SoL - they can just remove that at their leisure and it's odd they haven't.
Well, they can't seriously be that stupid. It's proper 8-year-old shit in a veneer of "this philosophical thing I heard about once" - it's 100% the Simpsons bit "I'm just going to windmill my arms and keep walking forward and if you get hit, it's your fault". Laughing at it seems like a good option and I personally would probably hang out less with whomever.

What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?
That is, they think all of their decisions were preordained, and then use this to claim that they can’t be held responsible for anything they do.
