Wait until your innie grows up into an outtie.

Would it have been any less confusing if you'd read "Wheatley?"

Brilliant! You must work for this administration.

One of the games, Build the Wall, borrows heavily from Tetris. Players stack falling blocks to defend the southern border during a “zombie border siege” and “protect the border from the coming horde.”

Allowing the blocks to reach the top of the screen triggers a “border breached” message.

 

Ahhh, this administration's usual level of not thinking things through rears its idiotic head again. This basically says building the wall is counterproductive, and you win by keeping it down.

People who act like laws are always written perfectly to cover every possible situation are fucking morons who have absolutely NO business working in law enforcement. People are imperfect, and the things written by them even moreso.

As long as there's capitalism, there'll be capitalists. I get poo-pooed almost every time I say this, but you'll never convince me the words capitalism and capitalize - meaning "to take advantage of" - are unrelated. Yeah, the inevitable massive recession/depression that is coming will cause some regulation to happen, but those behind it will do their damnedest to keep it as minimal as possible so they can pull their shit again, followed by gradual perversion of any regs they can't prevent from the get-go.

EDIT:
TL;DR: They may dig their graves, but - like the undead - they'll be back to suck the life out of the living.

Ten-percent-of-the-brain myth.

Even if you knew this, please stop propagating this myth as too many people still believe it's true.

This post raises the question: were there particular periods where BDSM was more prevalent, or has the human race always been about as sick as it is now?

 

Piped.

One of my (if not the) top go-to tracks to get me moving - nonsensical lyrics sung with Idol's iconic badass attitude, backed by Stevens' usual killer guitar work.

There seem to be numerous other edits, which piss me off because I love this original version that was on my LP & it's both jarring and annoying when something gets cut that I'm expecting to be there, totally ruining the mood I was going for in playing it to begin with.

The voice recently changed from the classic Google Assistant voice to one I presume is associated with the Gemini crap I've been doing my utmost to avoid. If I'm right, and this voice is associated with Gemini, then Google is doing themselves no favors with this switch because the voice sounds like a snotty bitch & I can't stand it. I've switched to another English-speaking voice (I alternate between UK & Australian), but - here in America, at least - the American voice is the only one that gives detailed instructions like what lane to be in.

Is there any way to change this crappy voice back? Preferably without changing the voice for every fracking device in my household, which is the only instruction I can find on Google?

TIA.

EDIT: just so happened that someone asked for a "Revanced" version of Maps over on lemmy.ml (unfortunately, since I try to avoid tankies raising my BP). I know what Revanced is, but not sure what they were looking for.

Anyway, one commenter mentioned the project Vela Maps, which grabs the useful stuff from Google while minimizing your data exposure (unless you choose to use the live traffic updates, which can't avoid telling Google where you are - but that's it. I figure Google knows that anyway, and since most of my traveling is for work it just serves to polute their data on me anyway). It's got some minor issues, but a lot of good features as well - including extensive voice options. Yay!

 

Piped. I'm a sucker for extended mixes, so sorry if it's not your cup of tea.

 

Via Piped, if you prefer.

 

Just stumbled across this forgotten fave, & thought I'd share.

 

Yes, it's real. No, I'm not trying to advertise him, but thought the first thing that came to my mind upon seeing it was too funny not to share. I'm apparently not the only one as this image was found on FB, according to DDG. The number apparently refers to his telephone area code, with the word supposed to translate to the rest of the digits via the dial (explainer for the non-Americans in the room).

 

I've tried looking for launchers that have this feature, but have yet to see it mentioned anywhere.

I despise how the focus of development for at least the past decade has been form over function. I like information-dense displays, and Google has gotten everybody to waste so much screen real estate on looks (never mind other crappy UI decisions). My home screen widget layout is the one big thing keeping me on Nova.
