I’m noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up

The emotion: mild amusement

The poachers have just been selectively breeding hyper intelligent apes this whole time

This is going to be bobby tables isn’t it?

Edit: It wasn’t?!

Of course portal and portal 2 are fantastic games but I would never recommend them to someone who has never played a game before. One of the reasons it’s so good is because it subverts the tropes and even mechanics of other games.

This is the way

Aren’t they owned by Nestle though?

I was that nerdy kid that would tell anyone at every possible opportunity that thier iPhone was locked down garbage and they should switch to Android. Now I find any kind of vocal brand loyalty incredibly cringe as it just reminds me how I used to be when I was 14.

I’m a .world user just because it had a lot of users when I signed up, but I’ve seen some hate thrown at it recently. Is there a legit reason I should consider switching to another instance, or is it just hyperbole?

Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Project 2025. It’s basically the Republican manifesto for everything they want to to “acomplish” now they have power. This time, Trump has the House, the Senate and the supreme court on his side so there’s nothing that can stop these plans.

It reminds me of that one Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where they read that “no sword can pierce the heart” of a particularly powerful demon that shows up so they just go to a military base and steal a rocket launcher

Same situation here! I was a vertical tab hater for quite a while but I’m really liking Zen’s UI so far

“Critical thinking skills only count if they’re MY critical thinking skills” do they not see the irony?

The new Futo Keyboard is phenomenal. All the features of Google keyboard/swiftkey but completely local and open source with on-device speech to text if you use voice typing (with models you can swap out yourself if you want).

Just make sure to download the latest pre-release version as it fixes a bunch of bugs and adds missing stuff compared to the ‘stable’ release.
