Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way

Soulseek is the current best alternative for music downloading. No viruses disguised as music, afaik

Name an economic system that doesn’t eventually funnel money to the top. Not one person has answered that on lemmy, but it sounds like you can!

Other lemmings already did, but you’re hellbent on saying “Nuh-uh! That doesn’t count!” which, judging from your other comments, comes from not wanting to accept that an economic system isn’t a magical, isolated thing that is simple to understand and always works the same everywhere, without any relation to the groups and communities within it.

You’re complaining about accumulation of power/wealth and how it ends up being abused by the powerful/wealthy. That’s one of the main features of unregulated capitalism

Number of comments. Now if only the upvotes were 20 higher

At least you can blame yourself for your own shitty code, which hopefully will never attempt to “accidentally” erase the entire project

That was roughly a month before he caved

I was expecting a shovel

I can re-enact a person sleeping

I guess they missed the memo on how their monarchs aren’t actually divine, or maybe they really, really, REALLY want to keep that tradition alive. Could be both, too, or other reasons.

You forgot the MtnDew White Out!

There’s a story about how Zhuge Liang, a general and strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, protected a city from a 150,000 strong enemy army by hiding his force of 100 soldiers, leaving the gates wide open and playing a lute atop them, in plain sight of the enemy general. The enemy saw that, thought “No way I’m falling for this trap” and retreated.

That never happened, but Cao Cao did pull a similar feat against Lu Bu - the town had dense forests nearby, where forces could effectively hide. Lu Bu retreated the first time, but came back the next day and attacked, only this time Cao Cao’s soldiers were actually hiding in the forest and fought Lu Bu.

I love how V8 doesn’t support anything, it’s just dead weight 🤣

I do have a hard time thinking without “listening” my own voice

Kinda? I usually drift about how the hell we even reached our current situation from the beginning of the universe; how, despite being a huge collection of cells and bacteria, we understand ourselves as a single unit

LucasArts did some of the best Star Wars games. I loved Jedi Outcast, best jedi experience out there, and X-Wing Alliance thanks to the amount of ships the game gave you

They probably won’t repent and will simply continue to use bullshit rhetoric for when they get out of jail. I recall watching a documentary about one of these cults, don’t remember the name, but it got some pretty rich women in it and the cult leader was abusing all of them.

After being jailed and everything being exposed, a small handful of people who were into it still wanted to defend the leader

I suspect that piece of the bible is carefully ignored in the greediest churches. It’s not like the faithful read the fucking thing anyway
