If the year’s coldest temp was 1°C colder than last year and the year’s highest temp was 2°C hotter than last year, then even though the cold was colder, the overall temperature is still going up. The average and the extremes are very different things.

Did you think the vacation time he accrued as cardinal should have evaporated when he got promoted?

Too late; Netayahu already did it

Every incremental step along the way is immediately profitable. The thought process would be “Somebody will stop it from getting that far, and when THAT happens I’ll support the anti-authoritarian movement, but UNTIL then, all the other oligarchs are profiting from these incremental steps towards authoritarianism, and when the anti-authoritarianism kicks in there’ll be no further short-term profit opportunities to exploit so I don’t wanna be the only one who didn’t avail of them when they were available”.

Bystander effect/Nash equilibrium. Unless they’re ALL doing it, none of them want to be the ONLY sucker who’s forgoing short-term profit opportunities for the benefit of all. This is what government is supposed to enforce on them: forcing them ALL to support democracy.

Cordial

I honestly have to wonder why civil war hasn’t broken out yet in the USA.

Like, I’m reminded of Calvin Candie saying “and it wouldn’t’ve taken me no fifty years to do it, neither”.

At this point it’s just a signature calling card. Like the Wet Bandits leaving all the taps running. Ensuring that everybody knows who did it, without officially claiming responsibility, is intended as a power move to remind everyone that Comrade Major is always listening so toe the line

Are either of those details true or are you just spreading misinformation for teh memez?

They already made one. His catchphrase was “You have failed this city”.

Is that the one where the Latinos have mutated and are heating up the planet?

This is why code should be written to be library-agnostic. Or, rather, libraries should be written to a particular open source interface standard to make library agnosticism easier.

If server code is released such that people can run private servers after the official servers are shut down, then legally the people running the servers should be the ones liable for illegal activity that happens on them.

I could imagine third-party companies springing up whose entire business model is JUST providing unofficial servers for discontinued games and moderating them. Maybe a subscription service that provides access to servers for several different online service games.

Of course, it would be more likely that it would be just a player who hosts a server for themselves and their friends and doesn’t attempt to be profitable. That would be fine too.

Dumbasses needed to see him do it live rather than google the existing data on how disastrous his last term was. Last time he was in office, they were listening to Baby Shark. “It happened 5 years ago so that’s ancient history. I’ve got better things to do, like doomscrolling Tiktok for 8 hours”

No, I assume what’s next is that countries which have slightly more coal reserves than Ireland will be next, and so on.

I mean, if the headline was “Rising sea levels cause flooding in Ireland”, you wouldn’t say “big deal, wake me when the flooding reaches Nepal”. Of course there’s going to be an order to such things.

Nobody mentioned the US though

It always really surprises me that Sweden and Turkiye have so much interaction with each other. You’d never guess from looking at a map.

No conditioning required. The Bystander Effect has always been baked into human instincts.

I only have 200 on Steam and have 100%ed 24 of them with an average completion rate of 62%.

I have 102 games on GOG
