Reply to for about 5 years on tumblr, it was mandatory to have very strong opinions on steven universe. i never got into the discourse but i believe the anime counts as a form of vriska by twovests
Stephen Universe was a good show for children. Do we like, make good shows for children anymore? Is it just anime now? Edit: Not Bluey that is for small child I'm talking about slightly larger child.

I'm still not following the story completely but I think that's okay, glad you could vent it off a bit!

What kind of agreement do you have with these women? Did they sign a lease? Like what did they do really?
I have no idea if this is an interpersonal issue or a legal one so I can't like, absolve you or give you advice. I do want to say that eviction is a huge step no matter who is involved. Like I get that involving the police with black women is different than with white people but it sucks to be evicted either way!
You do deserve to feel safe in your home and yeah eviction might be in the cards, but evictions are hard to get for a lot of very good reasons. You don't want to rely on that to be safe. Do you have friends that can help? If you don't trust them around your dog, can they take in your dog for a bit? Like there's so many steps before eviction that you may not need to jump through yet.
In any case, good luck!

That desk does look like it owns. My desk is a $300 worktable from home depot. It's super solid, has casters which are more useful than you'd think. It can be made into a standing desk but I don't ever do that (requires MANY turns) however being able to quickly adjust the sitting desk height is nice. Zero issues clamping a monitor arm to it, would not trust an ikea desk in the same situation.

Not specifically, it's confusing lol. There's two types of updates:
-
Paid "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" upgrades. For older titles getting these like BotW they're adding in some extra features in addition to the performance enhancement. Like they're adding a bunch of Mario Party games that use the camera and such, and a DLC for Kirby. There's also going to be new games released in two versions, one for Switch and one for Switch 2, that will just be the performance upgrades. If you don't pay more, you don't get better performance.
-
There's a few games getting free updates that improve the performance on the Switch 2. These are different games than the ones getting Switch 2 editions.
It's complex but in a very Nintendo way, in that they smooth over making you feel like you're getting screwed. Like you'll feel screwed but still buy it? Like the least interesting "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" is the ones for BotW and Tears, so they're bundling that with the upgraded online subscription a lot of people already have.
Whatever it is what it is.

Apparently that game isn't really Bloodborne and it's 8p PvPvE so who knows lmao
I've calmed down a little now that I know there's some free switch 2 upgrades, including ones for the 2D Zeldas that I've wanted to play but found the unstuck framerate eye searing. They're also gonna have one for scarlet and violet which is good cause that one needs it

Reply to comment by twovests in A response to "this is my trauma" that I dislike very much (CW: CSA, violence) by twovests
Something I believe very strongly is that people deserve rights no matter what they have done. Our current system where abuse inflicted upon incarcerated people is informally considered part of punishment for a crime is just not acceptable in any way. That might be an easier path to argue than directly for the human rights of pedophiles, Lol.
devtesla wrote (edited )
I agree with this vent, entirely. The downstream effect of this level of violent rhetoric is that very few people who commit csa are actually prosecuted, for a few reasons. It essentially means that someone has to be fully dehumanized in front of a jury in order to be convicted, because they can't imagine anyone but the worst committing the crime. It means survivors aren't believed when their abuser is someone who is respected in a community. For children specifically, they often have a complex relationship with their abuser, and may not come forward to specifically because they don't see their abuser in this way.
It's also tied up in with the idea that someone who has been abused has been "ruined" in some way. I can always understand someone who has been through this kind of thing not talking about it, because they don't want to be perceived as a victim and have everything they do interpreted by others as an effect of the abuse.
I don't think this is going to get better either. The rhetoric in the air is just to call everyone you disagree with a pedophile, and then use that to talk up your righteousness as a person who's against pedophilia. While not really doing anything about it! They seem to only exist as a boogeyman. So yeah, you're totally justified to say something like "I don't need your violent fantasies" or something, because that's not really a justifiable way to act.

Reply to Why doesn't a VC just invest in AMD and pay a dozen software engineers to improve AMD libraries? by twovests
So at the moment AMD is selling through as many graphics cards as they can make, so they don't specifically need this business. On a deeper level, for AMD all the silicon that goes into a consumer GPU is silicon that could have gone into a more profitable product. This is also true of nvidia tbh, but for AMD it's specifically their mobile products, consumer CPUs and enterprise CPUs.
So why does AMD make graphics cards at all? Shiping a high performance graphics architecture pays off down the product line, and eventually makes it into laptops, handhelds, and game consoles. I suspect this is why Intel is making graphics cards now, like I'd be shocked if there's any profit for them there at all but it could pay off in other products.
But yeah the bottom line is that the buyer is fucked. There's not a good reason for AMD to match nvidia on this type of spend (and it's gigantic, AMD does spend a lot and can barely handle gaming Lol. It's more than a dozen engineers!), so nvidia can charge what they want and screw over their partners as much as possible. I'm gonna hang onto my current parts for dear life.
