Browser exploits. Get RCE, break sandbox, patch kernel. But the dearth of exclusives worth playing on the PS5 means that this was the first generation of the console not worth jailbreaking.

One does not need to earn "don't steal stuff".
Piracy is not stealing.

I think it’s vulgar to pirate games (I assume you’re not ripping it from the cart). Call it a matter of honor. If one must do it, it is best not to mention it.
Why? With what the game industry as a whole has earned such a respect? AAA, microtransactions, wokeness (even worse than wokeness - cringe wokeness), bugs, abusive drm, overbearing licenses, consistently terrible writing, hostility and contempt towards their own audience and customers ... the list goes on. Even before gamersgate the industry was busy destroying the goodwill earned in the golden age of 1995-2006

That's not how it works. Obama got lots of flak for staying in Afghanistan and Biden for leaving it. Last person who touched it is to blame. This is not only in IT.

Is it still a military success if Congress defunds the war Vietnam style?
This will be the greatest gift the Democrats can give the Republicans. Giving them a way out of it while owning all the nasty second order effects from stopping the war with not defanged Iran is a blessing some of them pray for.
I won't say it is 5D chess (mostly because it is advanced stupid), but some of the messes Trump has created put Dems into unenviable position because cleanup requires more effort and capital than shitting on something. And they have mandate and power.
Don't regulate AI and bubble pops - you had mandate to regulate it, and you piss off your base.
Regulate AI and bubble pops - you caused recession.
Regulate AI and China wins - congrats USA lost the tech race of 21st century.
Defund Iran war - congrats - you own nuclear armed Iran and their ability to extort the global economy.
Prolong Iran war - the democrats base will be pissed off beyond everything possible (although I will find amusing the mental gymnastics their die hard partisans will make to justify it).
The cost of living will keep rising. AI will cause unemployment, stopping AI will cause unemployment.

TVs are dirt cheap, the economy is chugging just fine (as are most physical products, at least the ones without ram). Not only that, but this is the root of rising standards of living.

So our only hope is ASI to emerge in under Elon's control. In that case there will be some cause for optimism for the west's fate.

Since Trump managed to piss huge cultural advantage, why do you think democrats won't do the same? 2028 are far from over.

which will start a constitutional crisis whereby judges will only be confirmed when the same party controls both the Presidency and Senate.
That is called disfunction, not constitutional crisis. Maybe more harmful in the long run but perfectly constitutional.
I am not even sure what constitutional crisis could look in the USA. Almost everything is constitutional if you control 2 branches of the government. So the only possible constitutional one that doesn't involve the states and their rights is if we have standoff between scotus and congress on one side and executive on the other.

According to some scholars they started with Bork. To protect the holy cow of abortion.

My amazing story with AI today. My order of the sinking star savegame was corrupted after opening my steam copy save with the pirated one which was on lower version. There was no backup and there was severe data loss. So I just described what kind of state the world was in and to try and rebuild it when recovery was impossible - and the bastard (sol 6.1 low) one shotted it.
We are in uncharted territory, and I just can't predict the way the dice will roll. So in which direction did your P(doom) moved this week?

You are right. corrected.
Ok. Poland is the one refusing to share the load with the problematic refugees - the ones usually born east of America, west of Thailand and south of Istanbul.

The books are mostly portraits of neuroticism. "Neurotic about not being attractive because they are Asian. Neurotic about only being attractive because they are Asian. Neurotic about being too Asian. Neurotic about not being Asian enough. Neurotic about taking after their mothers. Neurotic about not living up to their mother’s expectations. Three of the books feature visits to therapists."
You are not describing Asian women, you are describing modern women in general. Just replace asian with something else and this template will fit almost any single or middle and above class woman in a big city.

Reading the article I am overjoyed to learn that St. Petersburg is not a slavic city.

'I'm white and imagining my white norms and priors unto this very non-white family in a very non-white predicament'.
The mother is Ukrainian, the father is Russian. The only thing whiter than this coupling is flying over the apls in the winter.

Let me sidetrack a bit - this is a total breakdown of the social fabric. The fact that you could have 3 children and yet not have grandparents, neighbors, friends, extended family to which you could leave the kids for a couple of days is telling of how thin and meager our social circles have become. When I grew up it was - take your pajamas you will be sleeping at X (one family one floor under us, with kid my age). Or for 48 hours or less when I was above 15 - it was - you are on your own buddy, here is some cash, you know where the grocery store is.
This may be police overreaction (although a week is probably a bit too much), but is overreaction to a problem that shouldn't exist at all.

I mean in some cases it is necessary like literal wars or a group actively holding hostile views against another and opposes thier rights on the basis of prejudice.
Interesting choice of exceptions that makes me think your first post here is not entirely in good faith or high effort.
Culture war is here because sizable minority of people wizened up on exactly how destructive entryism is, how many slippery slopes were even slipperier and because the culture they were growing up with was under attack and destroyed at any step.

the shooter fired one shot in a moment of emotion and it can be credibly claimed to be a freak accident it hit the guy at all.
A person trained to use firearm, draw the weapon, pointed it at another person at short range, pulled the trigger and by some "freak accident" the other person died. Can you point at the freaky part, because that is the expected outcome?
Freak accident is if he was shooting at him with airsoft gun and a stray bullet from a gang shooting 3 blocks away fired at ballistic trajectory somehow hit him in the neck at the same time.

Anyone following the new logo for the Atlanta Falcons saga?
The memes are hilarious.
No it is not. Now that we have moved our best daffy and bugs impression out of the way
Not only piracy is not stealing, but actually downloading for personal use is fairly legal (uploading is not), and on top of that because of the way cracks work it could be classified as fair use - it is security research after all.
