Their crap's already been kicked over at least once for trying to dictate rules regarding internet content and whatnot. It's pretty unlikely they'll manage to stick anything meaningful on that front, at least.

... y'know, other than to note they lucked out with remarkably tame tifa hentai, my bigger question in regards to the other video in that article is to ask what in the name of hell is that cthulhunoid monstrosity behind the pope? 'Cause it's totally giving me FF6 final boss kefka fight flashbacks, whatever it is.
Anyone curious, turns out it's Frazzini's La Resurrezione. Bloody final boss kefka cosplay is what it is really is, zeus's tit.*

... google knows what you're asking about when you ask it what that statue behind the pope is, though.

*e: and yes, I realize it predates ff6, shush

I swear to fornication, if it turns out rightwing nutjobs actually do have a goddamn chronosphere instead of just being too incompetent to get the day of month right on news articles and crap, I'm going to riot.

It can come back around later, too. My grandfather's said some interesting things about other people's ancestry over the last while, mostly insisting they're both first and other sorts of cousins of his at the same time (which has implications as to their family's reproductive habits, heh), just as an example.

... not even going to try to document this time, but I'll keep reading so long as nothing kills me. I did keep reading after I gave up on documentation last time. How much, I'unno. Bunches. If I averaged 50k words a day (probably a decent, somewhat low baseline... pretty regularly eat through something like that in a few hours, part of an afternoon) it would have came out to around 18 million words, or about 200 average-ish length paperbacks, which... sounds about right for a lowball.

Do know Flym is currently saying the stuff I've RSS'd since I installed the app has produced 5,970 new chapters I haven't caught up to, so. Probably not going to run out! Nevermind I keep adding new ones, and there's stuff not rss-able that's been bookmarked.

... looks like I can actually export the thing's list if anyone's interested? Frumple's list of mostly litrpg royal road fiction of varying quality and sometimes questionable content!

e: actually checked, the list is 141 pieces of fiction and one webcomic, apparently, haha

e2: Actually, screw it, let's see if I can just fit the thing in here:

I mean... the objective definition of crisis doesn't seem to have particularly changed -- a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger, generally that requires serious attention to deal with. You don't generally use "situation" or "circumstance" to describe that sort of thing unless you're actively trying to downplay whatever the concern is.

As with a lot of stuff like that, I think much of what's going on there is just increased awareness. It's seeming to get used a lot because we're more aware of a lot of serious shit we probably wouldn't have heard about a few decades ago. Add on certain sorts of serious shit continuing to accrue (i.e. climate change, economic disparity, etc.), and you see the term fair amount, 'cause there's a fair amount of shit what's varyingly literally on fire right now.

I'unno about frequented, but there actually has been a fair amount of folks around here that have spent time homeless at some point or another. So we might not have many active homeless, but we got a good handful of ex-ones. Dunno if any of 'em would take much offense, though.

I'm not sure it'd actually be a new low, given how we use what amounts to penal slavery to supplement firefighting efforts, among other things, in parts of the country. It'd just be that sort of thing leveraged against people more of the country think matter :P

It's honestly quite a bit higher than our actual current lows, looking at it -- what the injunction's asking for is a 90 day stay for the filing hospital to have time to replace the staff that's leaving (all of 7 people). Beyond it barely being state intervention to begin with, that's bloody peanuts compared to the regular horseshit our penal and law enforcement systems get to on the regular on a far greater scale, heh.

... it also doesn't actually seem to have much to do with fighting covid, the staff in question seems to handle other parts of care, particularly trauma/stroke care or somethin' along those lines. They're mostly tapped for other sorts of emergency treatment more than covid care specifically. Covid's just being invoked due to how it's stressing everything else healthcare related, basically the (even odds fairly legitimate, our hospitals are fucking stressed right now across the country) excuse they're using for why they hadn't already hired appropriately.

It'd fit just fine if the expected agricultural impact is greater than half current production, or the other disruptions involved (drought, desertification/environmental shifts impacting infrastructure, conflict/infrastructure stress due to mass migration, etc.) are expected to have even greater effects on (already the major problem) distribution than the significant ones they're already having on (regional) production.

... or if you think the distribution problems are effectively unsolvable and the climate change hit is going to mean half of it still gets thrown away and production losses means shelves and pantries go empty instead of the tossed half getting used.

The current issue is distribution more than production. The future (20-50 years, century from now, whatever) issue may change that balance, especially as agriculture demand continues to grow.

They're not particularly irreconcilable positions, basically, unless you're assuming they're superimposed on top of each other right now, or that "on the brink" means "will collapse next week" or somethin'.

... is that jan 2nd, or feb 1st? Like, I'd guess the latter due to the former being a few weeks ago, but depending on where you are the month and date numbers on that format swap, heh.

You can also set the internet connection to "counted" don't know how they call it in english, anyway w10 won't update on a counted connection.
English term would be "metered", like a parking meter or whatever. You were pretty close, it's more or less the same word, just in a specific context of being billed by someone, heh. Basically something where you have limited or usage cost based bandwidth.

And as to android, there is no such thing as a free app anymore, free means with advertisement, and the things take us for idiots.
For what it's worth, there's apps (mostly customized firewall type dealios that blacklist common ad addresses) out there that can block most ads, and as a general rule just setting airplane mode on or turning off the wireless connection will stop most ads from running.

... does mean it's not really an option for internet reliant mobile programs, but most of those a pretty shit anyway so you're not losing out on much :P

Most of the tv show seems to be lost to the internet, even.

...

... scoping one that wasn't, that may not be a bad thing, exactly. Opening scene has the main character plus questionably designed sidekick bust down the door to an occupied sauna, said sidekick promptly pulling out a camera and taking pictures of the panicking (roided up guy and some fucked up looking purple talking dog busts into your sauna and you'd probably freak out a bit, too) towel clad young women that were in the room.

I was just kinda' looking at it and going, "Yep, that was a 90s cartoon." Then the commercials started and chips ahoy had some kind of horrorbeast straight out of a poor cgi nightmare doing flips and I noped the hell out.

They made the new file and did a bunch of adjustments to it without talking to us about it first. So a week before Christmas I get an email saying "We need this new file ready for 2022. Please make work thanks."

And then they throw 40 pages of QBs reports at me, expecting me to go into the business data of our software and make all these changes for them, and eject 8 years worth of transactions at the same time.
that is just "lol fucking wot, no" on so many levels
