The singular ‘dumbass’ to the plural ‘sovereign citizens’
The singular ‘dumbass’ to the plural ‘sovereign citizens’
There’s a belief that (I’m going to heavily paraphrase/over simplify here) when you’re born, there are two versions of you … The ‘corporation’, and the ‘real’ you.
Any document issued by the government i.e. birth certificates, social security etc is against the corporate version of you. And as a ‘real’ person, you are not part of a system you didn’t consent to.
So when you get pulled over for speeding, it was your real self who was driving, not the corporation, and only the corporate self is beholden to the law. This same idea is applied to taxes…
Might pay to read up on the luddites.
They protested against manufacturers who used machines in “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.
In a modern internet context:
Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.
Often used in crypto circles when a shitty project is being accused of being a rug pull. The scammer may say “it’s just FUD, ignore it”.
On ‘the street’, if I called someone a fud, it is calling them an idiot.

Story mode / Infinite lives / invincibility modes.
Difficulty should not be a barrier for entry. I like how Insomniac games like Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Spiderman, offer a really easy mode for those who just want to blast away or swing around New York.
How could I forget Mono.
The album (ep?) For your parents is amazing.
I will give Ryuichi Sakamoto a listen now.
There’s a mashup I didn’t know I wanted.
The following can be classed as instrumental, post-rock or post-metal:
Probs low hanging fruit for this thread, but vinyl collecting.
Started around 2011 by going to charity shops and second hand stores to find bargains. I used to be able to spend £10 a week and get 3/4 new (to me) records. Some were great ,some were trash, but that was the fun!
Then I started getting specific records, building towards band discographies… next thing I know, I’m dropping £25 per record for two bootleg records that were definitely not worth the price. Was a watershed moment and one that made me take a step back.
Ticked over for a year or two, next thing I know vinyl records are now in Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Every new release comes on vinyl, and they’re now £25+. Charity shops are now just full of junk vinyl, and all the second hand stores now charge £25+ because their pressings are “original”… all the fun is now gone.
I sighed … but only because I agree. GN is very into dense, which is totally fine and I’m happy they’re doing what they do, but I am not thier audience.
+1 for Dawid does tech stuff. Proper entertaining and funny, less clickbaity too.
Eternity is on f-droid, if you add the izzydroid repo.

“We are open to solutions…”

Imagine Linus a few weeks ago saying “I’m not paying $500 bucks in staffers to retest this shitty product”, to now having to defend some serious abuse allegations.
Wild.
Time for Linus to [sic] “put on his big boy pants” and lawyer up.
If now was a time to bring in a full time CEO and relegate Linus into “creative director”, or whatever title he wants to give himself, now is that time.
GN has simply pulled back the curtain to show another corporation who put their bottom line before their viewers. And his response only shows this even further.
Truly disappointed by the whole debacle.
I’m going to borrow things “to try” from my friends house, say they sucked, and then sell them on eBay.
I’ll just say I auctioned them.
GOT EM.
How would the world feel about a ridge Racer, RR revolution, rage racer and RR type 4 remaster/reboot? The same game mechanics, menus, modes etc, just with a modern gaming engine and graphics.
Did you read the name of the sub before you replied?
