Notice the war in 598? The one mislabeled as a war of defence? When the Sui dynasty invaded Korea?

Are you one of those weirdos that doesn’t bother to look stuff up instead of reposting?

They fought a lot, they just didn’t win much lmao.

In other news, runescape classic is still good.

This sounds like any sports video game where they advertise bringing out a new feature, that they silently removed from the previous version of the game.

I really enjoyed halo infinity. They also can’t take away the thousands of hours i played in LAN parties and xbox live. It is sad that it is no longer the best party fps anymore, split screen is gone, and it is homogenized with every othet shooter since 2007.

Typical Amazon undersells everyone else to remove competition. Then after everyone has gone under reminds you it is a terrible idea. Hopefully we see businesses get burnt more and determine it is better to self host, or even better yet not need half their services on “the cloud” anyways.

mIRC is still great to keep out pedestrians.

This whole thread is full of great references. I haven’t read that horror story in forever.

Yup, came here to say this is a spoiler for SOMA. Plenty of happy ethical issues here to unpack.

Wrapping it around your arm stretches and pulls at the inner cabling. It isn’t a single massive copper pipe in there, its numerous thin guage copper wires wrapped around each other. Wrapping it around your arm puts kinks and folds in the cable that eventually snap those little wires over time.

There was no exit plan, the individuals just kept racking up college debt. Debt collectors cannot come to collect the debt if you are still in college, and the college doesn’t care they are still getting the loan money. They were professional students and they “beat” the system.

I had a friend who worked at a call center to harass people about student loans. They said that one the job was great because one they learned about loop holes to defer loans for as long as possible, and two they had found out about professional students that just kept going to school and didnt have to pay their loans because they would just stay another semester and live off the college loans. If you are in the US, a single person, and were never going to save for retirement anyways… it was doable 15 years ago.

I bought a digital movie from Amazon prime in 2015. It fell off and they didnt give me a refund. The music I got from a burnt CD in 2004 is still on the C: drive of my current PC. I don’t think it pays to do the right thing in the long run.

I screen shot and crop every meme i want to share from Lemmy. It is tedious.

In the past, individuals have cut down red light and speed cameras using power saws. Are you suggesting a laser would be easier to just burn the pixels of the camera? Wouldn’t that be dangerous for people around you?

Companies killing forums and communities by choice or apathy is so disheartening. They have so much control over what we see and talk about everyday, and they can even just turn the community off by providing poor service.

It worked for Google. They corraled a majority of the internet into providing them add revenue. Google maps, Gmail, google search engine, youtube… all just more ways for them to scrape your data and serve you adds. Investors are hedging their bets on what could replace google as the information monopoly of the future.

Popular video game franchises homogenize together so they can make room for new indy games to grow.

I do not know how to even shop anymorem All the name brands I know have gotten worse, most of the new brands are unknown and have AI reviews.
