Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, as long as they don’t fuck with established events I’m not mad about this movie existing. It just doesn’t appeal to me at all. The only lotr movies I really want are ones based on the Silmarillion stories, and sadly I suspect we’ll have to wait another 20 years(or more, if the copyright considers Tolkiens son the author) for it to enter public domain before that happens.

Who would want to buy them? The only value a studio has without it’s IP is the devs, and you don’t need to buy the studio to acquire them.

The original trilogy is so beloved because it’s an excellent adaptation of one of the greatest book series ever. This is not that. Good or bad, this will be outright fanfiction. No thanks.

Not practically. You’d have to be replacing the trees faster than you chop them down just to account for the energy(and thus carbon) used to chop them and process them. Then there’s the fact that decomposition will also release the carbon, so you HAVE to use the lumber for stuff that is intended to last at least as long the tree grew, or else that tree is still a net negative.

No, you can’t. There are trillions of trees on earth and the impact they have on carbon emissions is relatively minimal, planting a forest or even many forests isn’t going to cut it.

Not to mention that for trees to be an at all viable long term carbon capture method, you can’t ever cut those trees down. If we can’t leave the fucking Amazon alone, what makes you think we won’t chop up that artificial forest in 50 years?

This is the same issue with kelp. Kelp has a ton of uses, and is an even better carbon sink than trees are, but to be a carbon sink you have to forgo all of those other uses because you have to literally sink the kelp to the bottom of the ocean and leave it there, because actually using it for anything just rereleases the carbon.

Glad I’m not the only one

They might require it for crossplay or give some goodies for linking, but there’s no fucking way they try to make it retroactively mandatory just to play at all again. After this statement, there would be ACTUAL grounds for a class action lawsuit if they did.

When MLK did sit-ins, they didn’t destroy property and graffiti walls and the like. It’s not the same

You’re an ignorant fool if you truly think MLK would be on anyone’s side in this situation except the protestors.

I’m autistic, this made me mad as a kid too.

Pretty sure you can get an NACS adapter now, but otherwise non Tesla vehicles pre-equiped with a NACS port are due to arrive next year.

The Kremlin has denied any state involvement.

Of course they would.

Putin called Navalny’s demise “sad”

Children being taken from their families and trafficked to Russia is also sad(and a war crime), and yet Putin does nothing about that. Somehow I don’t think he’s actually all that sad about Navalny.

said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny’s allies said such talks had been under way.

It’s an awful coincidence that the moment they decide to start considering releasing him, that he dies, isn’t it? Nevermind the fact that he’d at this point been sentenced to over 20 years in Russian prison and a mere 2 months prior to his death was secretly sent to an arctic circle prison that is essentially a death camp, with none of his team knowing where he was for weeks. No no, forget ALL of those facts and trust Daddy Putin at his word that they were totally going to release him if he hadn’t died when he did.

What a load of bullshit. At best, they knew Navalny wasn’t doing good and were hoping to release him before he died so they could wipe their hands clean of it. Realistically though, what happened was always the plan.

Jokes on them, ublock origin still works just fine for me.

If it takes over the video it would be. I pause YT videos all the time to read something that didn’t stay on screen long enough.

Buy a SteamDeck and emulate instead lmao

Sure, but I don’t need reviews for that stuff. I would’ve already seen those when they were actually, y’know, new.

The bleeding edge stuff isn’t stuff I personally need nor can afford. I just like learning about the newest and greatest tech.

I’m a computer guy, 90% of the things I’m gonna wanna see reviews for are ABSOLUTELY things where older means worse. A review of a year+ old cpu, for example, is absolutely meaningless to me, I wanna see how good the bleeding edge stuff performs.

and basically everything tha you can attach an affiliate link onto (e.g. product reviews)

Y’know, something you’d want up to date results for so you’re not potentially buying older worse products.

Yep, nvidia’s linux drivers are notoriously jank.

I’m left handed, anything less than near instantly dry is going to smudge.

100%, ah, ah, ah, voted yes!
