I read somewhere that it was a patent issue that caused Microsoft to do the silly offset thumb sticks.

I've lived in Australia since I was 6 and find it bizarre that I can vote in Polish elections (which I never would).

What limits the second amendment? Why does it not cover artillery or nukes or whatever?

Our tariffs on US imports are zero, not even sure what they want. Negative tariffs?

Former GOP nat sec and fp hawks despise Trump with the fury of a thousand suns, perhaps more then any other group.

Hello @shader-slang.bsky.social I have found what appears to be a bug compiling a mesh shader into SPIRV. See pastebin.com/g8Cx38px

When I visited America for the first time in 1999 I was shocked how bad the food was. Like my best meals were a big mac and a bowl of corn flakes. Just 12 years it was a completely different world. Every cuisine imaginable and very high quality.

You wouldn't need the ACT any more, the politicians would go to DC.

For that to work Australia's six states would have to unify. Much better if each of our states were individually added to the US, bringing the total to 56.

One thing I've noticed about American politics is the tendency to make everyone a hero or villain, so any criticism is seen as an attack that must be defended against no matter how valid.

True, they certainly do have an outsized influence. TBH the main reason I follow him is because he has cultivated the most insane, unhinged, psychotic haters. It's like an old timey freak show.

My guess is that if you asked the 20+ million people on here if they've even heard of the guy it would be a single digit percentage.

The only reason I know about this is because of that time the channel had a near death experience

I came here just to check it out and discovered that a couple of my favourite people who left Twitter are active here, so now I'll visit both regularly. That's never happened before.
