After seeing a bunch of tankie memes on Lemmy, I've become a bit more aware of the popularity of low quality "picture of text" memes that confirm you are correct and others are wrong. It's fine to have beliefs but saying you have them because you paid attention in school is silly.

Metal Gear Solid 3, Subnautica, Papers Please.

I love the Metal Gear series but the Cold War setting of 3 works so well with the theme of the game. It also features crab battles and the ladder boss.

Things like a program using a script to run itself startup and then not deleting that script after being uninstalled can cause it to happen.

What about goats in circular pens? A goat is tied to the fence of a circular pen. How long does the rope need to be so that the goat can reach exactly half of the pen's area? What sounds like a high school math problem was eventually solved in 2020 via complex analysis.

Here's the answer:

As a union member, yes.

Unless you're talking about the exit code of a computer program. Then coming up zero is a good thing.

Lakan? Is that you?

I'm guessing his kids' favourite teams?

They're a marching band, I presume?
