"civilization" vs "barbarians"

Typical speech for those trying to justify genocide.

But it's not even half of adults and citizens, only 40-60% of eligible voters even vote, so if you were counting children it would be even lower than 1/3. Probably as low as 1/4

If you don't want your data in America, you can replace Dropbox / Google drive / One Drive with Sync.com

Supposedly 100% Canadian owned and operated with data centres located in Canada.

It has its problems, and isn't quite as fleshed out as the others, but it ain't American.

Insane? Or just an idiot?

I don't even mind microtransactions, but microtransactions DO NOT EXIST

$10 for a skin is not a MICRO transactions, that's just a transaction.

The entire game costs $60 but ONE skin out of the thirty that already available or whatever is somehow $10? Why do people pay that? Why would they ever bother making a new game when they can design 6 new skins instead?

Keep those counter tarriffs, fuck Trump let him know he can't just make silly threats and then change his mind

I just looked it up. Apparently I can just go vote at an elections Canada office anytime, 7 days a week during open hours. Like 10 mins from my house. Didn't know that was an option.

Diets are highly species specific, but mosquitos are generally less than 3% of the diet for most birds and bats. Too small, don't fly around at the correct time of day/night, and pretty agile, so they aren't supper important for most birds and bats.

Also, usually they hatch in the billions all at once and die within a few weeks so there's a very limited amount of time that they even can be preyed on as food. Their strategy (many of them, not all species) is to overwhelm any predators with numbers.

25mb was a large file like 30 years ago. Now it's like a couple PDFs with some pictures in it

It's pretty amazing how out of touch Netflix can be

 

First pack opened in new expansion

 

I don't hunt it's mostly for... Target... practice 🙃

 
 

Some of you may see this in wonderpicks in the next few hours.

 

I am genuinely curious. I am a person who is 80% anti-corporation and I had no idea that this community existed until it popped up on the everything posts. I imagine there are probably many communities or subreddits dedicated to specific companies like Tesla I guess which is the first thing that came to mind when I tried to think, or Google. But Intel seems a bit off the beaten path which I suppose is what triggered my question.

My first instinct is that this is a community created by the company itself for advertisement purposes which I also despise immensely as i see advertisements as nothing short of propaganda for companies vs countries.

Why not post everything that would go here to a community for CPUs? AI? Or just a general PC components community? Why specifically Intel? It just kind of blows my mind that people follow and subscribe to specific companies. It just feels like people subscribing to People magazine to follow Kim Kardashian or whatever (which I also don't understand).

Sorry if it feels judgy or whatever but I just had to ask after discovering that this community existed. I would have posted even if it were a [email protected] or a [email protected]. maybe not, maybe. Intel is definitely a little more niche which piqued my interest as to the reasoning. I don't know. Just curious.

 
 

Maybe I am just incredibly unlucky but I feel like the wonder picks is 100% rigged.

One would assume that with 5 cards to pick you have a 20% chance to get the card you want. Unless it has hidden mechanics where the rarer the card, the more unlikely it is you are to get it, which should be stated somewhere, I am under the assumption that it should be equal chance for any card shown especially since you already use more resources to choose the wonder pick options which have rarer cards.

I have probably done at least 50+ wonder picks over the past few weeks and literally only once have I gotten the card I chose the pick to try and get.

That's a less than 2% chance, not a 20% chance. In fact, It seems to specifically give you the worst card out of the lot the majority of the time. Like a pidgey or something.

Just venting, as it's legalized gambling targeted towards children through video games as well and I actually quite despise it despite it being one of the only ways to get specific cards at the moment.
