Roll to knock the bad guy over into a corner, and then just hold down fwd+attack. He'd get stuck in a loop of trying to escape with a high swing, only to get barely interrupted by my faster mid swing, and repeat until dead. There may well have been other cheesy combos but that was mine! 😄
Excluding Uber/Lyft from the definition of "private vehicles" is as dumb as it is transparently corrupt, given that the whole idea of Uber/Lyft is that you're using your own "private vehicle" when you work for them. Anyone can print out one of those stickers and slap it on their car.
I really thought it was impossible for me to amazed at the stupidity of it all any more. I thought I'd seen everything. Then I read this.

My parents squirreled a few of those treasures away, unbeknownst to and forgotten by me, and now that they have a granddaughter I've been happy to see some of those treasures resurface as regifts.
Seems to me like if AI is being weaponized against the government then Second Amendment protections would apply to the people weaponizing it.
I had to think hard about this because so many of the games I played as a wee child were basically unbeatable, but then I remembered the two-move combo that let me cheese my way to the end of Barbarian on the Atari ST.
Ms Pac-Man, at the Musee Mecanique under the Cliff House. Last I checked that same cabinet is still part of their collection at Pier 45!

I've been looking back on my pictures from PAX past, and I'm really happy I was in the right place to photograph this confluence of Landos in 2011.
honestly, a fill-in-the-blanks comic obit is about as much dignity as he deserves
Genuinely curious: are there examples of how this has worked out in real life? What sort of transitional assistance do tenants get in between demolition and replacement? How often do they end up being able to return?
Great article, and I was very happy to chip in for this campaign. More candidates like this, please!
p.s. "That would mean trans perpetrators, at most, are responsible for 0.096 percent of mass shootings in the United States since 2015."
Looking ahead one move: when Schumer and Jeffries fold, what's the rest of the party going to do to hold them accountable?

This is a transparent marketing ruse. In a month they'll ditch "New Dems" and rebrand the original recipe as "Dems Classic".

His "I don't know" is either dishonesty or stupidity. Either is, in itself, a reason to dislike him.
CVS has new boosters now, I hear. Thinking I'll get one next time I go in to pick up meds.
My fave part is that googling "chimp" and glancing at the wikipedia summary would have saved you this embarrassment.
Apart from winning elections, that is.

"knock knock" "that's a bad analogy. but I should have expected it from a country that doesn't understand the concepts underlying doorbells."
What this says about the rest of the country is horrifying to me, because from here in SF it doesn't feel like we're doing a good job at all (IMO we spend way too much money on policing/sweeps/cruelty and not enough on actually finding homes for people).
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Are you under the impression that Trump has ended weapons to Israel, or that he is in any way likely to? Trump criticized SCHUMER, of all people, for not being pro-Israel enough! Anyway, it sounds like you got what you voted for, so congrats on that.
The choice wasn't Trump on one side and genocide on the other. It was Trump and accelerated genocide on one side, and Harris and maaaaaybe a peace plan on the other. Certainly Dems should have done better than maaaaybe. CERTAINLY. The Dems suck. But Trump was not the anti-genocide option!
You know, I have marginally more respect for the chuds who admit that they *wanted* all the awful shit. Shooting the hostage and then saying "oh no, look what you made me do" is just plain cowardice.
"Don't be evil or else..." is fine in principle. I'm wildly in favor of "...or else we'll primary all you fuckers". The objection that many of us have is that the "or else" that got deployed here is "...or else we'll elect an even BIGGER war criminal". It matters what the "or else" is!
And this was VERY PREDICTABLE based on 2016. bsky.app/profile/rinc...
Even if electing Trump were a better long term play, it's looking a lot like nothing will be left of Gaza by the time that long term arrives. And all the evidence points to it being bad long term too! Dem leadership has been tacking right, not left. They learned the wrong lesson.
Don't say stuff like "Harris would also be taking marching orders from Laura Loomer because BOTHSIDES" and then act surprised that people write you off completely.
Somehow I don't think things would be exactly this bad under Harris, but I guess we'll never know. thehill.com/homenews/ap/...
Her "stated policy"? Damn, you take politicians at their word? Yikes. Wow. Very concern.
Biden actually yielded to criticism from the left and by the end of his term (I know, too little too late) was pushing for an end to the war. It's not unreasonable to expect that Harris would have continued that trajectory, instead of reversing it as Trump has. www.npr.org/2024/05/31/g...
That's my secret, Cap. I can be mad at a WHOLE LOT of people who didn't do what they could when they could. All at the same time! One fuckup does not exonerate all the others.
I knew before clicking into the article that Wiener would be in there. Any time you have California Democrats trying to sneak some Republican stuff into the legislative agenda you'll see the same group of folks behind it.

It's hard to sort the memories out chronologically when they're from that far back, but I'm pretty sure ET was my earliest movie memory. Mostly I remember being freaked out by the opening scene where he's being chased through the forest in the dark.
It'd be similar to "fair trade", "conflict free", etc, in that it'd require rigorous oversight by trusted third parties (and it'd be easy to game if not done right). I have a hard time envisioning it happening in practice; the genie is already out of the bottle and making rich people richer.
Realistically, I think anyone who tries to sell a 100% above-board model is going to be unable to compete with ones built on stolen IP, possibly running in theft-friendly jurisdictions.

Certainly it's become established alternative fact that every child and every journalist killed by snipers and bombs is Hamas, so the news that every doctor is now Hamas also does not surprise me.
I mean, no, it's not, but I guess I can't stop you from insisting that it is. 🤷

Myspace's relevancy lasted longer than the Confederacy.
See also the incredible amount of suffering and death inflicted by the "pro-life" party.
Maybe if you're some kind of anthropomorphic car fetishist it does, but I don't think most people using that term are trying to assign personhood to the shitty car in question. I think seeing "clanker" as either "humanizing" or a "slur" is entirely in the eye of the beholder.
Does calling a bad car a "lemon" also humanize it only to dehumanize it?
“Uh, no, when you were on the roof they were shouting ‘Trump! Trump!”
Looks like the primary source is doctors in Gazan hospitals. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_He... I imagine you're trying to imply that Hamas is fudging the numbers, since they might in theory have the power to do that, but it's very hard to imagine them doing that AND nobody on the ground crying foul.
I'm pretty sure the cops' programming won't allow it. First Law: protect yourself from all threats real or imagined Second Law: protect rich people's property from all threats real or imagined Third Law: follow actual laws Now, if you can make the cops scared of robots...

I visited Geneva for a couple days more than 20 years ago and I have exactly two clear memories from that visit: * Being blown away by Chateau de Chillon * Buying a Heineken from the hostel vending machine for 0.65 francs
Glad I wasn't the only one to have this thought. I quite enjoyed being a purveyor of discount blasters on a backwater moon.
timesprayer.com/en/direction... gives the direction toward Mecca from NYC. Here it is overlaid on the Google satellite image. Which corner is it they think is pointing in that direction?
"dead" = "no longer growing exponentially" under the late stage capitalism definition
Again?!
"Mature adult" qualifier not even needed. Any second grader who's growing up in the city is more open minded and much tougher than Charlie Kirk and his ilk.
Wait... you think the bad part of threatening a child with hell is the "religious" part, and not the THREATENING A CHILD part?
You might need to explain this metaphor. Cooper is the principal, and the child is... you? You're scared that you're going to hell because Cooper prayed one time?
I have been honestly bewildered by even the clumsy efforts at a coverup. The only reason it's still in the news is that he's showing fear; I believe that if he just said "so what?" it would simply get added to the pile of his other crimes that nobody in power will hold him accountable for.
Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
Probably depends on what metric of purchasing power is being used. CPI isn't it, though.
I have, in fact, read a lot of restaurant reviews, and even written a few, and never once did I imagine that any reader would be trying to "synthesize a consensus" on how to "optimize" their menu choice.
You're really not beating the "has never been to a human restaurant or read an actual restaurant review" allegations here.
And if the restaurant has specific stuff on their menu that they're bad at preparing, or the menu doesn't accurately reflect the food... that's a bad restaurant! If you're already at a bad restaurant you're not going to salvage the situation by asking around for the One Good Menu Item.
I look at the menu, imagine what the dish is like based on its description, and then imagine whether I would enjoy it. It's deeply weird that I need to explain this.
If you don't have any sense of your own taste and preferences, the winning move is not to play. Stay home and drink some Soylent.
(I will probably crack someday, but I still have yet to ever fuck up the "steam it in a regular old pot" method that was handed down by my ancestors.)

I guess we'll never know since they didn't try. 🤷
The Epstein stuff specifically has been common knowledge since his first term, and if it hadn't been, they could have done this kind of procedural sabotage with any number of other scandals, real or imagined. They didn't need to wait for Bondi to own-goal this particular thing in.
Weird how now that the Big Bill and all the appointments have been passed at breakneck speed they've suddenly discovered the One Weird Trick to gum up the works on whatever is left.
So, hypothetically, what would the ethics be of using AI to make a fake video of an imaginary person being a fascist shitgoblin, and then starting a fake fundraiser to collect real money from real shitgoblins, and donating the money to a real charity?

Some filmmakers get better and better at their craft over the course of decades, others make a few massive hits early on and then disappear up their own asses.
My favorite thing about this is the explanation "I panicked". This is of course a lie. But "I panicked" is the phrase that tends to show up in its training data when someone is explaining a fuckup, so of course it parrots that when confronted with a fuckup and asked to explain itself.
Did it involve anus shades? bash-org-archive.com?5598
The fact that it has the phrase in quotes when it's not the actual words he used is really bothering me. I understand not wanting to reproduce the error, but use "(sic)", or paraphrase, either is fine!
"That's different because..." but someone has to make that determination on a case by case basis, right?
