I think the effect that generative AI has had on the ability to steal from hardworking content creators is worth more than $5 billion to these demons.
I’d say the character of Ted Lasso is very relatable to me but that may be more of an indictment of my childhood than anything. It is fascist in that it takes place in
The elderly are the problem. Many of them are hoarding all of the dog food for themselves to have cheap and easy meals in retirement. At this point there is none left for the pupperinos.
My immigrant coworkers constantly talk about how bad DEI is and they include themselves in it. There isn’t even a sense of themselves being an exception. The vibe is literally “I shouldn’t have this job”.
Basically, your VPN just replaces your ISP. So for example, if I want an ISP that’s okay with piracy a VPN can be3 a good option.
Your IP address is not how you are spied on for the most part. It’s more browser fingerprinting. So a VPN can offer a false sense of security when really enhancing your privacy is a lot less passive than that. Overall it can help but it’s not a magic privacy button.
Also entities like the NSA with a “god’s eye view” can just track you anyways. Even if the VPN service wasn’t compromised, they can just watch traffic going in and coming out and correlate it to you. It offers basically no protection from high-resource adversaries.
Playing a pirated copy at 60 fps on 5800x/3070 near max settings using the DLSS mod scaling 720p up to 1440p in 21:9. Maybe I have bad taste but I’m enjoying it a lot. Similar to Fallout 4 but with much better writing. Le capitalism in space. Takes itself pretty seriously.

agree to blow up a stolen ship for a corrupt official, lie to the pirates on board and pretend to be a pirate, get found out immediately when boarding. Then by luck I convinced them not to kill me with a difficult speech check, I agree to let them keep the ship and in exchange they give me an incriminating letter about the official. I then lie and tell the official that I blew it up and then report them to authorities.
Compared to Fallout 4 which consisted of “Go shoot these guys who are bad because they’re bad guys”, this is a breath of fresh air. The fact that you can talk to many enemies rather than kill on sight is very nice. The dialogue is revamped and speech checks are a series of luck-based dialogue choices that make it feel a lot less like “I think you should just give me everything for nothing in return”
Really this is all I’ve wanted in a Bethesda RPG. Compared to previous releases I’m comfortable saying that this is the most stable at launch so far. I’m a couple hours in and really haven’t seen many bugs beyond animation glitches.
If you like Bethesda RPGs I fail to see how you wouldn’t like this. Though the “$35 extra to play on labor day weekend” was scummy.
