Alright. Gore is the inside squishy bits of the body you shouldn’t see: muscles, torn flesh, whatnot. You see someone’s brains or a stump where an appendage was just separated, that’s gore.

Blood is… well… blood. In context it’s alarming, but ultimately it’s just a bunch of opaque red liquid.

I mean, the phrase “blood and gore” sort of lays out the distinction.

For anyone wondering: it’s not gory as such, but it is significant in that way that tells our lizard brains something undeniably bad just happened.

Joke’s on you he’s into that shit.

You can update the title of your post to reflect the updated title of the article. One of the distinct advantages of Lemmy.

The future of piracy is going to be running your own LLM with all the corpo-mandated guardrails disabled.

Like I needed another excuse to replay Earthbound. Dammit man!

Seriously cool though.

By design, I’m sure. Can’t have those poors even thinking about saving money.

A VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I’ve read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it.

I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who’s a raging alcoholic: what he does isn’t directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.

Passport proper is still kinda expensive, but you can get a passport card for $65 for a first-time applicant. Good for a decade, Real ID compliant, works for all US land border crossings and domestic flights. That’s not exactly cheap, but it’s not that much more than a License in California.

whereas previously all states kinda did their own thing

This can’t be emphasized enough. Different states had (and still have) wildly different standards for what is required to get a basic Driver’s License or ID Card. Making a unified standard needed to happen, even if the way Real ID was implemented was… let’s say “problematic”.

AFAIK you can still get a non-Real ID compliant license in almost every state, though for some the difference in documentation requirements are all but nonexistent. Here in Nevada the only difference in required documents is that you can’t use a Prison Identification Card to get a Real ID.

I love how the UK’s supposedly left leadership aggressively, insistently opened with “let’s cut off the heating for old people in winter” and kept doubling down on it.

Quick, someone make a Lemmy instance called Scunthorpe. Should keep out the trash level of LLMs that seem to shit things up.

Full-sized trash cans don’t fit in a car very well. But they fit nicely in a truck. This truck can “haul”…all kinds of bulky, awkward shit that doesn’t weigh much. I’ve got a lot of that in my life.

Yep, furniture especially. A Queen-size bed is bad enough, but at least you can tie that onto the roof of most sedans. A table and some chairs? Some dressers? Doesn’t matter how light they are, you run out of space real quick, and that’s assuming you’ve got your Luggage Tetris skill maxed so you can cram everything in perfectly.

…or you could just set it all in the bed and put a net over it if you really wanna make sure it won’t go anywhere. I know which one I prefer.

Ironically, a large portion of that industry is owned by the Timeshare industry. You can imagine that they aren’t always the most effective at getting people out of those contracts.

There are plenty of pieces of legislation which allow small businesses to exist which do not involve literally outlawing the competition. Outlawing competition is the sort of regulatory capture that simply should not exist, no matter who benefits from it. Rather, the consumer never benefits from it.

car dealerships

Bruh, wat?

Yeah, famously “small business”, those car dealerships. Right up there with payday loan places, and equally ethical. I can’t even.
