Promoting colorism in a lesson about software that can be used to edit colors is… A strategy.
Idk maybe I just need to go meet more Indian people but none of the Indian people I’ve met to date look anything like Ronit and Sirahi here.
India has too many languages and cannot agree on one in common, which is why English is a “neutral” compromise. I understand that making Hindi the national language is a common Hindu Nationalist point.
I sometimes wonder how much Pixel hype is just inertia from when other manufacturers had terrible skins and Pixel was the only way for most to get a stock android experience.
Nowadays third party software has come a long way and from what I can see the pixel’s main selling point is it’s cameras.
The problem with “niche” phones like small phones, phones with headphone jacks, phones with keyboards, etc is that most of the people who claim they want one end up not buying one because of such and such feature being missing or so and so phone being better.
Asus and Sony have been making smaller phones for years but they’ve never achieved any sort of success. Iirc Sony makes a small phone with a headphone jack, which should be flying off shelves if these types of threads are to be believed.
The excuse is always “well Asus and Sony” have relatively little retail presence. Sure, that’d true, but any startup niche phone seller would be doing very well to have an Asus or Sony level distribution and retail network in the first couple of generations. And that’s setting aside Apple being omnipresent in retail and yet still failing to sell enough small phones.
I kinda see what Season 1 was trying to do. The only thing Season 2 tried to do was save production budget.
Season 3 is the worst season of Star Strek, but the best Season of Picard. Picard seasons 1 and 2 were like entirely different shows winking at Star Trek.
In my region YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music and is a dollar or two more than paying for Spotify Premium. I cancelled my Spotify sub and went over to YouTube. Seems like any okay deal to me.
Damn I was just thinking of buying some hue lights for my computer monitor since they change color based on the screen. Any non-shitty alternatives for that?
In some places you’re legally allowed to reject a product and get a refund if you don’t agree with the EULA. Wonder of there’ll be reforms allowing people to do that of they don’t accept a revised EULA.
This reads like a joke. How many apps does it take to change the brightness of a bulb?
Absolutely clown shit from Philips.
I think Equinox was a really good story about what a starfleet crew looks like if they abandon their principles in order to get home.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty the Internet…
No, he’s telling you to get into some really fucked up pedo shit with 
Deep Space 9 is the first ST show to have season long arcs peppered with self-contained episodes. Since someone else already mentioned Discovery, I think DS9 is a pretty good jumping on point for “classic” Trek.
First they came for the environmentalists, and I said nothing because I didn’t want my commute to be inconvenienced…
The other half thinks the protestors should get the electric chair.
The NSDAP was wiped out in 1945 but denazification was woefully incomplete and individual Nazis held positions of power in institutions like NATO, NASA, West German intelligence, etc, well after the 50s. That’s just direct members of the NSDAP and not all the neo-nazi splinter parties which West Germany and United Germany by their own admissions never wiped out. Add onto that various explicitly neo-Nazi groups in other countries and active militant Nazi-adjacent groups overseas and I don’t think it’s accurate or productive to say that Nazism has been “largely wiped out”.
Amateurs play Tactical Waifu. Professionals play Logistical Waifu.
Lean into it if you want. Have the PCs make friends with a guard NPC. Maybe do some quests for the guards. Then have the captain of the guards get killed (maybe while responding to a call from the NPCs) and then the NPC guard friend asks for the PCs help making sure that the next captain isn’t the obviously corrupt asshole/failson nepobaby/stooge of the big bad.
Alternatively, the captain of the guards dies and the replacement is one of the above people and now the guards are suddenly much more hostile to the party, demanding bribes, refusing to act against nobles breaking the law, or trying to arrest the party to help the big bad’s plans.
