They absolutely can. This just isn’t really one of them. Ads in the 90s all treated women as sex objects to be “played”. And this ad isnt wild in that regard, but you’re kidding yourself if you think they didn’t choose that angle and lighting deliberately.

Said to another commenter as well, but listen I’m not going to respond to a woman saying an ad is gross and off putting by telling her to lighten up.

“Playstation is a drug”

It’s edgy marketing. You’re not wrong it’s also clearly sexualizing her, but they’re pushing a console like a party drug.

On the one hand, it’s a very dated ad, on the other I really wish marketing companies would do weird shit like this more. Just maybe with a bit less sex appeal?

Try Firefox

Or Floorp if you’re experimental.

Fuck chrome and chromium.

Oh absolutely. Still, I was saying assuming they are up for a proper raise within that same 12 month period… That is at least a begrudging conversation. Not the 0% and no scheduled increase described.

At any company worth its salt, a promotion laterally to a new role could at least come with a nominal adjustment. 0% is absurd, but something nominal like 2% as a “performance incentive” towards new responsibilities would be reasonable.

Okay, now do it when the phone is broken.

As others mentioned, it seems like the clipboard monitor for phone numbers has crashed. I can’t speak to Vivo as a brand but usually this is not nefarious just a QoL feature to allow pasting into a dialer or dial directly from clipboard pop-up when it is copied.

Good luck with your struggles.

That is probably a slam dunk (minor) discrimination lawsuit. Your circumstances of birth, including the date, are not something you can be judged for.

Follow up with your ID or Birth certificate and ask “Excuse me?”

If there is ever a next successor to Blurays, for VR film or something, their DRM could be linked to a validation server. Once it’s always online what you describe becomes possible.

Currently Blurays and dvds are designed for offline playback, and are read only, so their licenses are always valid and perform no verification.

Legally, you own a disc, and a limited license to view the contents of the disc.

It’s effectively full ownership, but this same “limited license” model is how they fuck you over digitally, because without the disc, they can, at any time, revoke that limited license legally, because it was limited and they never granted full ownership. This is why the legality of pirating a movie you already own on Blu-ray is morally correct but legally wrong, because your license only grants you that one disc, in that one format.

I fucking hate it. The fact we dont have better property laws for media and IP is insane.

Blu-ray is yes.

A rip implies higher compression /changes.

A movie like Independence Day? Easy to do 7gb with good quality. Blurays is H264, We have x265 now. 4gb size? Those explosions gonna be chunky, but film is watchable.

What does “the politically correct line” mean to you though? That’s a very loaded phrase and you seem to be indicating that you want to say stuff that is “controversial” without expressing any of it.

Like, Gender Dysphoria is a nuanced topic and can be felt in cis people, but there is a strong, STRONG anti-Trans effort to point at that and say “ah hah! See!” as if it somehow invalidates trans experiences.

That’s why moderation is so harsh, because often the nuance becomes a tiny crack that actual bigots will pounce on, and argue in bad faith. I mean this sincerely, I’m an audience of one but if you are sincerely just having questions I’d be happy to speak via DM.

But if the “politically incorrect” feeling is “I don’t think my kid is really dysphoric just confused”, that is a large part why spaces stop such discussion. Note i am not saying this is you, but as an example. This example focuses on invalidating how the child feels and dismissing it as something else. Which can be very dangerous.

Anyways, my offer to talk stands.

Very similar app also available called Island. Basically the same function, allows you to make a locally administered work profile instance, and then you can copy items over from the main instance and keep them up to date passively from the play store.

Seasons and battle passes and an upfront cost.

You get to pay in so many different ways!

Funko Pops are mostly ugly as hell imo. They try to capture a cute big headed aesthetic but went too far on the blocky noggins. I dislike how it makes the vast, overwhelming majority of characters look when rendered this way.

Nendroids are doing this same concept but infinitely better, with stands and articulation. And less ghastly proportions. That said, Nendroids are mostly limited to weeb shit, while anything under the fucking sun gets a funko pop because there is 0 design effort made.

I’ve gotten one as a gift, and it’s fine. But they absolutely are Beanie Babies. It’s not even a question.

Edit: collecting this shit is dumb anyways. Take shit out of the box and pose it!

Yes. Because Microsoft lost an entire gigantic anti-trust case over building the Browser into the OS.

Of course it loaded faster when MS poisoning the well of open web standards with embrace and extend.

And we have the records to prove this.

Thank you. Also recommend adding a copy of this inside of the settings menu. I did not see you had added this until another commenter pointed it out post-update.
