But only because they’ve appropriated the word and twisted it into a derogatory word.

“Woke” has been tarnished, but originally it just meant being alert to social and racial injustice.

Interestingly, it comes from African American vernacular and dates back to the 1930s.

It’s like using “enlightenment” as a negative term.

And a lot of the prebuilts have a ton of cut corners. A well put-together machine that people can trust to play their games at a base performance could be great for those who don’t want or can’t DIY.

“First one to rid itself of its human workforce” makes the race sound less enticing.

Maybe try not to live in the Arctic Circle?

Nah, more like great promo material for the camera that survived the whole mess mostly intact.

Too bad they dropped the ball by not having the decryption keys for the actual video on the card.

Edit: Apparently they’ve recover the files.

Spin is bullshit’s little brother. It’s mostly the truth, but viewed from an angle that favors a specific point.

Oh, but they had those too. Imagine a luxury house linked together by instant transporters, so you go to a platform on an ocean planet to poop.

“Bullshit” still works wonders.

In the later books, the alternative FTL is wild too. The acceleration is so brutal that on every jump, you will be smashed to a pulp and then spend days being put back together.

“Cult with a budget”

Hit the hand brake and drift that sucker.

Mods there must be so afraid to get their subs nuked by Reddit corp, they ban basic, undisputed historical facts.

Bill Burr shot only.

And speaking of Burr, I’m happy to hear he doesn’t sell out to the MAGA bastards and will call out their bullshit.

Ebooks are awesome.

Good old “divide and conquer”.

Right-wing 101: “we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!”

Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.

And with this heat? No thank you.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

And some home cinema receivers do offer this option. Often labeled something like “night listening mode”.

I’ve found upgrading my front center speaker has greatly improved dialogue. I had my speakers from a home cinema kit and the center front was a puny crappy speaker.

Legal doesn’t matter anymore, apparently. They are just going by vibes now.

Random ass tatoos? MS 13.

Got the wrong guy? Don’t care.

Due process? Don’t need it.
