Well, NPR published a review of the Hogwarts game ( Review ) No surprise it talks about JK Rowling’s issues (TERF, etc) but ignores the real problems in the game due to the blood libel plotline. No doubt the companies involved are big contributors, so a positive review was required.

Worth noting that a “positive review” is relative. In the games industry, a 6/10 - while technically “positive” - is a death sentence. Even a game that comes in at 8/10 is considered mid tier, and will trigger alarm bells in most studios.

“Most-watched single-player game of all time.” I’m not gonna lie, that’s not necessarily saying much. League of Legends, the all-time most viewed game on Twitch, has pulled more than double that at its peak. It’s immensely popular right now because of the controversy; but we’ll want to see the sales numbers and how badly they (and the viewership numbers) fall off in the coming days. My guess is, pretty damn hard.

And, yes, there is a segment of the gaming population that is buying this game, playing it, and watching it being played for no other reason than to be an asshole to LGBTQ+ people.

Interesting article on Ukraine in the WashPost yesterday.
The article argues that the Ukrainians have generally limited their use of HIMARS to US generated and provided targets.
The background is that
1. the US has publicly complained that the Ukrainians have expended too much HIMARS ammunition on low value targets.
2. The US has also limited Ukrainian from firing at targets in Russia. And that
3. the US has declined to provide more capable types of HIMARS ammunition to the Ukrainians.
A lot of analysts believe that the article was released by those arguing for the US supplying more capable ammunition. The reasoning is that the US has very tight control over Ukrainian HIMARS use anyway.
one of the most interesting responses to the story comes from @tedlieu . If Ukraine wont fire without US information, the US should provide longer range systems. IOW, the fears of Ukr firing onto Russian soil are far overblown. https://t.co/U5ZlLC22V6

If we’re looking to just chill out as a group of friends, it’s easier to play a game any of us could play with our eyes closed.

Biden ordered US military to ‘down’ a ‘high-altitude object’ over Alaska, White House says
“…Kirby also offered some nomenclature guidance on the object, which the US is not referring to as a balloon and has yet to attribute to China or any other entity.
“We’re calling this an object because that’s the best description we have right now. We don’t know who owns it - whether it’s state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned, we just don’t know,” Kirby said.
He added: “We don’t have any information that would confirm a stated purpose for this object. We do expect to be able to recover the debris since it fell not only within our territorial space, but on what we what believe is frozen water. So a recovery effort will be made and we’re hopeful that it will be successful and then we can learn a little bit more about it.”
The object was “much, much smaller” than the Chinese suspected spy balloon, Kirby said, comparing it to “roughly the size of a small car.” The balloon downed last Saturday was described by US officials as approximately the size of three buses.
Maybe Kim Jong-un rushed out a balloon of his own just to stay current.

As we can see here, re: #49 Teukka, it looks like this object was much smaller (thus much less risk to people on the ground), plus, it depends on where over Alaska the object was shot down. As opposed to a significantly larger object, which, even in Alaska, presented a risk of landing debris on someone’s property or person.

I finally got to meet my niece-in-law last weekend.
My nephew, who is in the Air Force, has been reassigned to Tinker Air Force base in Oklahoma from somewhere in England. While there - and because his mom was in the Air Force and his dad is, he has spent more of his life in Europe than the US - he married a British woman.
We were talking about various things, and she mentioned that her great grandfather, great grandmother, and their children fled Germany in 1939 right before the war, and ended up in England. In order to serve in the miliary against Germany, he had to change his last name, and he chose Smith.
So now there’s a woman with a British accent in Oklahoma, and she’s not shy or timid.
I’m no intelligence expert, but I’m smart enough to know the United States is keenly aware of other countries spy capabilities and can take appropriate action to protect American interests if necessary.
I’m also aware that plenty of random shit floats into our airspace all the time, including some stuff the military has to shoot down every now and then.
That’s not a security failure. It’s just reality.

re: #5 nines09
He’s legit nuts.
No.
People with power create a mystique in which they’re the protagonist of reality, and create a lore in which their critics and competitors are antagonists. Whether or not they sincerely believe doesn’t matter, since “belief” isn’t actually a very good construct of how people retain ideas: beliefs are contextual, and application of beliefs is conditional—people mitigate consciously, but also unconsciously bend beliefs around their emotional state, their self-gratification, their base assumptions. The step that matters is that at some point the cynicism-to-sincerity-ratio tilts, and someone convinces themselves that they’ have the license to define the world but the privilege to not be defined by the world.
Basically…shit that kings do. Good ones are liars and monsters but die in their sleep because they’ve remained conscious that there are people that can bring them low if not appeased materially or emotionally. Bad ones end up dead because they believe the hype, mouth off to one too many dukes or starve the peasants more than normal.
License justifies more license, and ultimately this results in “this thing is bad, unless I do it.” Sometimes that means that they hear the voice of God, and God needs them to fuck Bob’s wife. Sometimes that means they convince themselves that they can’t fail because they’re a genius and therefore Vitamin C cures colds. Sometimes that means…everything stupid Adolf Hitler did while thinking he was smart.
When this works it’s still brutal—gotta have scapegoats—but when the contradictions begin to show is when the hazard escalates. “Can’t be wrong, can only be wrong” requires an endlessly-expanding pantheon of depraved wreckers: the world can only be explained by a secret, omni-present, hyper-competent other that exists to make The Hero’s plans fail. And we’re just in a really stupid version of that, where a man who got rich through luck basically convinced people he was a genius like unto comic book science heroes finally collapsed the waveform of his mystique and is now desperately trying to spin a version where he is beset by myriad opponents that are all cackling anime villains.
This is what power always does to people.

In the video, Mazouz describes auditioning for the part of Bruce Wayne. “I found out that the creatives really loved me the most,” he says. “It was a Warner Brothers produced show, so the Warner Brothers executives really love me, and most of the Fox executives, they love me. There was one person who said that I looked too Jewy to be Bruce Wayne, and eventually he was, you know, overridden. But I almost didn’t get Gotham basically because I had curly hair, which is why my hair is straight in the show.”I’ve written before about the bias against what people consider “Jewish looks.” In the popular imagination, we Jews are not sexy. We have frizzy hair, big noses, and hairy bodies. Jewish men are nebbishy, weak, and bookish, while Jewish women are loud and abrasive. In reality, Jews are so diverse that there’s no single trait that defines us—not even when Jews belong to a particular ethnic group, like Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jews. More than that, though, mainstream culture isn’t willing to ask itself why features like naturally curly hair are considered unattractive.

re: #89 Backwoods_Sleuth
The Feb. 2 ruling by U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves resulted in the dismissal of a charge against Sherman Combs of Cynthia for being a “prohibited person” in possession of a firearm - a .357 Magnum revolver - after a protective order was issued to his wife last June in Harrison County.
Reeve said the federal statute violates the Second Amendment, which says the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
He also cited a U.S. Supreme Court decision issued last year in which the court said a gun control law can only stand if it “aligns with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
The government argued that gun rights traditionally have been extended only to “law-abiding citizens,” but Reeves rejected that argument.
For now, the decision is only binding in the Eastern District of Kentucky, where Reeves sits but can be cited anywhere. (In Western Kentucky, on Feb. 7 a Mayfield man was sentenced to one year in prison for violating the same statute.)
Combs’ lawyer, Thomas Lyons, said he and his client were pleased with the decision.
He acknowledged it could increase the risk of harm for domestic violence victims but said “protection of constitutional rights often has societal costs.”

The late comedian John Candy is getting the documentary treatment from Colin Hanks and Ryan Reynolds.Amazon’s Prime Video is in negotiations to acquire an untitled film that Hanks has been quietly directing. Reynolds — who, like Candy, hails from Canada — is producing alongside George Dewey via his Maximum Effort production company.
The film will explore the life and legacy of the iconic funnyman Candy, who died of a heart attack in 1994 at the age of 43. But insiders say the film will go beyond the persona and delve into the inner life that Candy kept private off-screen. With the full support of Candy’s widow, Rose, and their two children, Jen and Chris, Hanks will utilize never-before-seen home videos, archives and interviews with the family to explore the man behind the movie star. Candy became one of the most in-demand comic stars of the 1980s and early ’90s, appearing in such films as “The Great Outdoors,” “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” “Uncle Buck” and “Cool Runnings.”

A car plowed into a crowd at a bus stop in the Jewish settlement of Ramot in East Jerusalem, leaving five others injured. https://t.co/UbrPre7VXq

SCOTUS has unleashed evil throughout the land and I don’t know what can save us — except the replacement of several GOP Supreme Court justices by Democrats. Maybe we will luck out and Jack Smith will charge at least Alito and Thomas (and if we are lucky, Kavanaugh and Roberts too) with crimes and force their resignation.

School superintendent shifts blame onto bullied teen’s family after she dies by suicide
Note—another article from the Daily Fail.
A New Jersey school superintendent suggested that the family circumstances of a bullied 14-year-old student — who took her life after a video of her being beaten was posted to social media — was to blame for her death, the Daily Mail reported on Friday.
When asked by the Daily Mail what resources, if any, were provided to the teen identified as Adriana Kuch, superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides changed the subject to Kuch’s alleged personal issues,

re: #143 Joe Bacon
‘We offered her drug rehab and mental services on 5 occasions but father refused every time.’
He then claimed: ‘We tried helping her several time but mother’s suicide was a major reason she started making poor choices.’
Michael Kuch previously explained to dailymail.com how Adriana’s mother had battled addiction and tragically died in 2015, when Adriana was just seven.
He denied Parlapanides’ claims that ‘drugs counseling’ was offered to his daughter, instead explaining that he and his wife sought help for her because she had been smoking marijuana with a vape - as many kids at the school did.
‘I don’t know how to respond to this insane deflection,’ Mr. Kuch said in response to the superintendent’s emails.
‘This guy is a piece of s**t,’ he said, while preparing for his daughter’s funeral tomorrow.
In addition to his emails to dailymail.com, Parlapanides - the highest paid school administrator in the town - also defended himself on Facebook, claiming there are ‘two sides to every story’, after an alumni saw the news of Adriana’s death and said she would never send her kids to the school.

Michigan teacher created fake bomb scare in bid to secure a day off: police
A Hazel Park teacher is now facing charges after allegedly writing a note found at Hazel Park Junior High School that sent the entire school into lockdown. The note, according to police said the school would be blown up the next day.
The incident happened last Thursday and at first, police thought the teacher saw that note but failed to report it. Now, police are saying the 40-year-old placed the note in his own classroom.
Police have charged Paul Jacobs of Livonia with making an intentional threat of an act of violence against a school, employees, or students. It’s a misdemeanor charge and he can face one year in jail if convicted.

You’re right, Elliott, we need to raise taxes on those multi-millionaires so they pay for entire classrooms’ worth of lunches. Problem solved. https://t.co/2mvd0Wxia2

re: #207 Backwoods_Sleuth
That bill? FUCKING YES. About goddamn fucking time.
PSA: If you are considering buying a Surface Pro tablet/laptop thingy: don’t. Some of our on-the-go-but-haven’t-got-there-yet people at work have them, and they are absolute garbage (the computers, not the people). I can’t for the life of me understand how they get good reviews and continue to sell well.
First problem is they run hot enough to sear a steak on, especially when using the webcam. What do our people do half the time? Use Zoom and Teams and whatever else for videoconferencing. Then their unit overheats and either displays psychedelic colors or just randomly reboots or locks up.
Second problem is that most of our users use them as desktop replacements, so when they are at their desk they plug them into a dock, usually with multiple monitors. About 50% of the time, the Surface shitpiles freak the hell out when plugged into the dock, and maybe they remember their multimonitor configuration, and maybe they don’t.
100% of the Macbooks that are used in this way are trouble-free for our users, and about 95% of the non-Surface Windows portables are also trouble-free. But all of the Surface units have one problem or another.
I wish our users weren’t given a choice of hardware, but they are above my pay grade. I feel like the only reason they have Surface machines at all is because they “fell off the back of a truck” or something like that.
re: #210 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
I had a Surface Pro for a while. Can confirm everything written here.
the feds are coming for those who refuse the jab just as soon as they’re finished coming after all the guns…
Feds are tracking those who refused to get a jab, but not for health information reasons.
They have created “obstinance codes,” not “abstinence codes!”

The country of Moldova, a Romanian speaking province that had been ruled by Tsarist Russia and then by the Soviet Union has been in the news recently.
Behind private label to keep thread length down.

Moldova is more Romanian speaking than Russian speaking from what I’ve read.

This is feelings-based nonsense. You have feelings about who should and should not pay for lunch, but the most efficient and effective solution is just giving kids lunch and dealing with our feelings on our own time.

How does this balance out? What if I have a gun(s), but also got the jab? Do I get to keep the gun then? What if I’ve had 3 jabs but I only have one gun? Do they give me extra guns? If I’ve had the jab(s) but then voluntarily surrender one or more guns, do they take a corresponding number of jabs away? Do I get MORE JABS?
I do not understand this guns-for-jabs barter system, and now I have Economic Anxiety™.

re: #210 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
PSA: If you are considering buying a Surface Pro tablet/laptop thingy: don’t. Some of our on-the-go-but-haven’t-got-there-yet people at work have them, and they are absolute garbage (the computers, not the people). I can’t for the life of me understand how they get good reviews and continue to sell well.
First problem is they run hot enough to sear a steak on, especially when using the webcam. What do our people do half the time? Use Zoom and Teams and whatever else for videoconferencing. Then their unit overheats and either displays psychedelic colors or just randomly reboots or locks up.
Second problem is that most of our users use them as desktop replacements, so when they are at their desk they plug them into a dock, usually with multiple monitors. About 50% of the time, the Surface shitpiles freak the hell out when plugged into the dock, and maybe they remember their multimonitor configuration, and maybe they don’t.
100% of the Macbooks that are used in this way are trouble-free for our users, and about 95% of the non-Surface Windows portables are also trouble-free. But all of the Surface units have one problem or another.
I wish our users weren’t given a choice of hardware, but they are above my pay grade. I feel like the only reason they have Surface machines at all is because they “fell off the back of a truck” or something like that.
I’m very happy with my Surface Pro 7. It does not overheat.

I haven’t fiddled with gaming on linux in a long time, but isn’t there a native Steam client? Is there a benefit to running the windows version?
Long ago, only the rich could afford to educate their children. Sending them off to school may have, probably mostly did have, the implication that schooling included room and board.
When schooling become more common the issue of “breakfast” was likely never confronted simply because schooling was only part of a day, part of the year.
I saw a pic of my mother’s grade school - at that time it still had the horse hitch out front. A reminder that schooling started out being part of a day.

I have two Surface laptops for work. One is almost four years old - it’s better than the new one they gave me last year so I decided to keep it at home for home office and the other I leave docked at my desk in the office. Onedrive means I don’t need to worry about moving files or data.
My personal laptop is a thinkpad that I put Linux Mint on - SSD and 16gb RAM - super fast. I bought a cheap 200 dollar windows home edition laptop with a 40gb ssd and put mint on that as well - it’s usable with Mint at least, but only has 4gb RAM - will probably crack it open and double that to 8. Also added a 256gb SSD card that I got cheap on Amazon. It mounted fine, but the directory structure is all in Chinese. Going to buy another at a local store and toss the 50 dollar piece of crap. That’ll provide enough swap memory to make the thing useful and I can carry it on vacations.
Linux Mint +Citrix Workstation allows me to connect to my work computers wherever I am if I need to - except international - we turned that accessibility off recently so no hiding out in Mexico.

I want to get the Surface Go 3 to use for Kindle and PDFs. It’s the only tablet like thing out that still uses a 4x3. Most other tablets have gone wide screen, and that’s horrible for textbooks.
re: #224 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
I haven’t fiddled with gaming on linux in a long time, but isn’t there a native Steam client? Is there a benefit to running the windows version?
Many games are available only on Windows or Mac. Only the Linux specific ones will run under the Linux client. I do have it installed but only about 1/3 of my library will play on Linux. So I have Windows 10 in a VM and will putter around with seeing if I can get Steam & Warframe to run in it.
re: #222 Crush White Nationalism
There is a non-zero chance that our Surface problems are either caused or exacerbated by the MDT image (allegedly specifically tailored for the Surface Pro 7) mandated by our city IT overlords. These same overlords created the images for the other Windows stuff in our inventory, and the Surface is the only one that is reliably a clunker.
At any rate, I’m glad yours works.

Makes sense if about a century age change-ago your society got so into eugenics as an explanation for capitalist inequality that it just became the backdrop for all your politics.
That shit didn’t go away, it just embarrassing to say in the open for a few decades, because death factories within a train’s ride range has a higher proof rating than just…letting people die where they can’t be seen.

I’ve got a surface book 2. the only irritation I have with it is that the magnets that hold the monitor to the dock start to demagnetize over time, and eventually it gets to the point where the damned thing will start “attaching/unattaching” every goddamned second for awhile. I took it to a local guy I use and he basically fixed it for about six months by just using the little remagnetizing goobers that you can find on Amazon. No, that’s what they’re called. Remagnetizing goobers. I’m sure of it.

re: #233 Belafon
…yes, but not exclusively.
Eugenics exists only to fabricate distinction and hide with science language; it’s doesn’t have to stop drawing distinctions, ever.
It persists because it’s a way of building a further smaller hierarchy inside of a racial hierarchy. So theoretically racists should have solidarity—white people are the better people, have a shared interest—but actually there are better and inferior kinds of white people, and coincidentally those lines correspond to the existing distribution of power and wealth. This works great if you’re, say, the capital holding class and have zero interest in acknowledging that labor is the engine of society, but also you drive those workers by elevating the idea of self-improvement through personal effort. With eugenics, voila, ownership is now an indicator of your value to society.

From the moment I started kindergarten I had to deal with anti-Semitism from ignorant people. I had teachers who absolutely hated me and one went as far as to tell me to kill myself because I was never going to amount to anything. And most of those teachers just happened to be devout Catholics.
I knew that I only had to put up with them for 13 years and no power in hell was going to stop me from graduating and walking out that door and when I walked out of that concentration camp for the last time I was going to release the most powerful fart as a going away present. So on Graduation day I made sure that for breakfast and lunch I ate lots of Mom’s baked beans and when I got my diploma the principal and teachers refused to shake my hand which I expected them to do. The principal just said we’re glad to get rid of you. So I walked by them, took my diploma off the table which was not handed to me and I just fired off a major fart in front of them as a going away present. As for the 8th grade algebra teacher who told me repeatedly to kill myself I made sure to leave a special fart as I walked past that ass.

I have not had a chance to look into that yet.
Add to the above some additional information. Some folks are reporting that the Russians sent two sea drones and damaged the main bridge South of Odessa across the Karaholska Gulf.
Some are reporting that this cuts off direct Ukrainian access to part of the Black Sea coast southwest of Odessa. That region borders Moldova.
I have not verified yet, but do not think that the Russians could put troops there and directly threaten Moldova.

I must say that my experience was very different. I went to Catholic schools from kindergarten to 4th grade because my Da (Marine pilot) was stationed in the south and the public schools sucked and were not accredited. We were also Catholic. We had nuns. We also had southern Jewish kids because, again, the public schools were not accredited. I never heard a single word that Jews were Christ-killers, that they were Satanic, or any different than us. They were just kids, and we got along seamlessly.
I’m sorry for your experience, but I just wanted to mention that your experience may not have been universal.

My dad told me his elementary school (his neighborhood generally) was about evenly split between Jewish kids from Yiddish-speaking homes, and Catholic kids from Italian-speaking homes. Nobody’s parents spoke English.
The kids couldn’t trade lunches, or visit each other’s homes. They didn’t have the same holiday schedule, they didn’t have the same Sabbath.
But none of that mattered, because they were all Dodger fans. That was the basis for all childhood friendships and neighborhood cohesion.

I’m glad that you had a wonderful experience in your schools.
I previously posted about what life was like in Western PA before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed when many places were “restricted” to people of color and religious minorities. And when LBJ signed that law there was a major backlash all over the country to that law that only doubled down the previous hate. Unfortunately in my part of Western PA the hate manifested itself at the ballot box as votes for George Wallace and his supporters got into a lot of local offices and let their poison spread. Memories of African American kids who made the football team and sure enough when they got on the field they were the ones targeted to get hurt. Memories of how white jocks were the pampered pets who were encouraged to bully kids targeted by teachers and coaches.
I got out alive. And now I see on their 50 year reunion page how many of their lives peaked at 18 and went downhill after that. Meanwhile for me life is better and retirement is only 17 months and 18 days away.
