Both, and there’s more than one end game because there’s multiple factions behind Trump who have slightly different end games in mind. There is a shared purpose and common cause built up around Trump but also some fundamental tensions within the party about what the post-Constitutional order will look like once they’ve fully consolidated power.

The basics of investing. Open a Roth IRA (or the closest equivalent if you’re not in the US) and then try to max it out every year. Learning how to manage money for the long term now will save you a whole lot of hassle down the road.

That doesn’t seem true though, most actual leftists don’t like tankies and the people on Lemmy complaining about tankies seem to mostly be leftists themselves. Tankies are like LaRouchites, no one takes them seriously because the things they profess tend to be silly and they usually have that obnoxious College freshman master-debater energy. It’s not a left or right thing.

I set alarms and/or calendar reminders as a coping mechanism. I don’t always do the thing when the time comes but it at least gets forced back into my head over and over again until I eventually do it. My life has gone a lot smoother since I started doing this.

Yes, I only use it via syncthing-fork so this is a distinction without a difference to me.

Not sure if I qualify as extra paranoid but this whole situation feels very sketchy and has me reconsidering my use of syncthing. Making significant changes like this without any explanation is extremely bad practice.

GripVR controllers release soon and look like they will make a good substitute.

I’m disappointed in the screens they used but it unfortunately makes sense that 4k microOLED isn’t feasible. I wish the new controllers supported Lighthouse tracking too. If the new controllers really are proprietary to just this single HMD that’s a big failure in my opinion.

Sports paraphernalia or memorabilia.

This shit drives me nuts. I’ve put in a lot of effort to secure my accounts but a number of them require SMS without any opt out. We have known about the risks of SMS plenty long enough at this point.

I forgot I saw the new one so I ended up watching it again. I still don’t remember anything about it except that I was bored and disappointed.

That is correct, it’s been quite awhile now since UEFI became standard but almost everyone still calls it the BIOS. Although I’ve noticed the word firmware is starting to be used more as well.

If the doctor was intentionally made ill, whoever is responsible is to blame. Otherwise, shit happens and it’s a no harm no foul situation.

It’s interesting Republicans had lower T on average than Democrats but they still found this effect from more T on weakly affiliated Democrats, despite weakly affiliated Republicans not also showing the same effect. Weakly affiliated Democrats are seemingly unique in their political response to increased testosterone.

Vanilla flavoring not from a vanilla orchid is more likely to be made from wood than beaver. Lignin in wood pulp can be used as a precursor and is much cheaper than beaver butts.

I recently received the Ludonarrative Dissonance achievement in Uncharted 4 for killing everyone instead of sneaking around. I found it a funny way to get scolded.

Probably and yes. From what I have seen there’s too much incriminating evidence for it to all be faked without assuming a level of competence from those involved that is very improbable.

21 and 17 can be a big gap, even 20 and 17 can be. It’s not as clear cut as 22, which can also be sketchy but is at least recognized as fully legal everywhere. I think there’s too much diversity in maturity and life experience at those young ages, the potential for issues increases so those kinds of relationships are inherently concerning in ways that relationships involving legal adults are not. I’m not saying they are inherently problematic, but if you know people with that kind of age gap you should be looking out for the underage person to ensure they aren’t being taken advantage of.

Definitely a warning sign. It really depends on the specifics because people mature at different rates, but there’s a much higher chance of it being problematic. There’s the half your age plus 7 rule, but it doesn’t really work if you are under 22.
