But look at how small and dexterous the children are, able to squeeze and clamber through the tunnels. And look at what they play all day: Minecraft. Clearly the children are best suited, as they yearn for the mines.

The scene was like an example reel from a video game, greenscale-ish translucent humanoid mannequin standing in a pseudo void, with a nondescript rectangular table of a similar greenscale-ish semi translucent material, and only the ball is "finished" as it is the camera focus. It is approximately between baseball and softball size, smooth, but I did not pay attention to the color. There is an "interaction/activation" sound effect as the mannequin kinda leans over and lightly pushed the ball to cause it to roll. It rolls to a stop on the table top, and this action loops.

The center of focus pulled back as I read the questions, more becoming aware of them than choosing them, and the scene changed with a camera pull out as part of the "ball is pushed" tutorial clip.

I have realized how much growing up as a gamer as influenced my perspective.

Close, but it's a threat: You'll Never Walk Again. They are kneecapping people up in here.

That depends. Yes, the cable standard did carry broadcast TV with commercials, but a big selling point in the beginning was also the existence of cable only paid TV channels that did not have commercials. Premium cable as an offshoot of cable only networks also did not have commercials, it was a major selling point. As the medium expanded and the channel breakdown shifted commercials came back in a big way, and even many premium channels got commercials. Prime examples would be USA Networks, HBO, Nickelodeon, and quite a few more.

I can agree with Archer on this one: brain aneurysms and saltwater crocodiles.

Cable TV started out as "pay for your access and you won't get ads". It enshitified into its current state, and streaming is literally a rerun. Give it a few more years and you will have price bundles for streaming services where you have to pay for peacock to get Disney. They might even bundle it with ISP services.

Even my local libertarian candidates have been hard right theocrats recently, like they failed to secure a promising outlook for a Republican run and just though libertarian was the same thing. A few are probably even too far right for the Republican ticket.

What part of "don't tread on me" includes treading on bodily autonomy and LGBTQ rights? I am starting to think some people don't actually have principles, and don't understand words too good neither.

"At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don't Create the Torment Nexus."

I hate how the theocratic right has successfully co-opted libertarian in the US to mean alt-republican.

Librewolf didn't take as much adjustment as I would have expected, and it even supports toning down specific security postures for QoL niceties like Firefox account sync. Made the switch just to try it out and haven't gone back. Excited to see what people come up with for more forks/hard forks in the future.

No good deed goes unpunished. I found out my job was breaking labor laws about overtime, informed my coworkers that were really getting screwed over by it (being worked 70 hours one week then 10 hours the next week and told OT was calculated by the 80 hour pay period), including unsalaried middle management, to read the labor law poster in the break room. Guess who got relentlessly harassed and then constructively fired by the new store manager, but was young and dumb enough to not recognize retaliation? Turns out all ownership was directly involved intentionally making my life a living hell at work because I expected basic labor law to be followed. That's how I figured out middle management are usually class traitors too.

Just tried out Libation for the first time this week, very happy so far. Further testing of results is still required, but this was an excellent suggestion.
