Christ, I would think that the last thing you’d want to be doing on acid is browsing the internet where you can’t be sure of what exactly you’ll scroll across.

Maybe I’m vitally misunderstanding acid trips, but where’s your trip guide/designated driver/sober buddy? Where’s your pre-prepped/vetted media to keep you from a bad experience?

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod

It’s been too many years since Sailor Bubba

Can’y speak for every TV, but some of them should support downloading the firmware update from the manufacturer, tossing it on a USB stick, and plugging the USB into the TV to update.

It made another insurance company walk back terms that were going to set a limit on the amount of time surgeries could take or they wouldn’t cover them. The company announced it the morning after and walked it back that afternoon.

I’m not sure it justifies things, or the cost this change came at, but it is prettt direct evidence of an insurance company thinking twice

This is also why there was such coordinated effort to shut down wikileaks, or to at least stall out the cultural movement that was building behind it.

If you give people a methodology to whistleblow that at least on paper allows them to stay anonymous and avoid putting their life/livelyhood/survival in jeapordy, that removes one of the biggest disincentives.

The difference between 4chan and Reddit is pretty small

I’m sorry, but I sincerely doubt you’ve been on 4chan recently.

Where have you guys been? Half Life 3 was confirmed December 13, 2007.

I’m sure it’s coming any day now.

They have been “working” on Half Life 3 for over a decade, with many promising leads found through datamining things left in other source games over that time. There is almost always absurd levels of speculation over the smallest crumbs of datamined material.

For example, there’s been an unfinished NPC worked on for Episode 3 left in Half Life 2 that was first shown in a tech demo in 2006, literally prefixed with “Ep3_” in the code. It’s been around for 18 years and the most that was used from it was graphics for the gels in Portal 2, vs all of the speculated things about it.

The recent documentary they released had what was effectively a post-mortem section where they talked about why Episode 3/Half Life 3 never came out.

I can see why you might think that their new controller and headset might be enough of a game changer that they feel like making 3 is worth it again, but the overall feeling I’ve gotten from them from following all of this closely since the pre-Orange Box days is that: 3 isn’t happening due to the immense pressure and expectations that have built up over the many years people have been waiting. Maybe we get Alyx 2 or some other spin off, but the only thing they’d accomplish with 3 at this point is disappointing a wide variety of people with countless conflicting expectations.

At the very least you also have to contend with “Valve Time”. What would take a normal studio a year takes them four due to their obsession with polishing everything. Team Fortress 2 started development in 1998 and didn’t release for 9 years.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see where they go next, and I hope this means more than a voice actor sending a fun new years message. But you need to understand that “definitive evidence” of 3 coming based off datamined material has been floating around for 15+ years now.

If your lemmy instance cares about that sort of language, please join a new one. The only instances I’m aware of that care about harsh language are .ml (censors bitch and some other curses) and .world (regularly deletes stuff celebrating the UHC CEO’s murder).

Otherwise, this is lemmy, you aren’t on some site that cares about looking friendly and soft for advertisers. Please don’t bring that self censorship shit here.

APA or MLA style citations, like they make you use in US schools. They have styles for citing digital content including videos.

I’d start with one of those two styles, then strip it down from there if you need.

Most people take time off from work after Christmas if they have the ability. That messes with the normal daily schedule and pattern of things they do and when, causing confusion as to what day it is etc.

Not a song, but two whole “fuzz rock/metal” albums written to work as one long story: Howling Giant’s Black Hole Space Wizard Part 1 and 2

The story isn’t super direct, but it’s about an escape ship fleeing the dying earth, crashing (Part 1) leaving one survivor, and him going on a maddened journey to become the earth wizard (Part 2).

A bit less obscure is the Protomen’s Act 1 and 2, a rock opera fan fiction based off Megaman

You sink in if you take too long though. I always took it to be that Chaos’s body was effecting the water somehow.

Vixen isn’t humanoid, and my understanding is that furries make a differentiation between anthro (humanoid) and actual animals.

So the real question is: does Vixen have sentience such that she can consent?
