Idk man, should’ve seen the shit she was writing. Also she’s a pretty big deal in the cracking circles afaik.

But yeah nothing there to disprove your hypothesis though, but the way it’s been going in the world, there’s definitely more Russians pretending to be Americans online than the other way around. Lemmy is chock full of Davels (davel@lemmy.ml)

Idk man, it was pretty popular over here. We got it years late due to being a small European country probably.

I’m less than 40 and love He-Man. And She-Ra.

I can hear the gif. Loudly.

On my last computer I downloaded the Harry Potter game and it was cracked by Empress, a vicious anti-trans right-wing Russian woman. I just hung out in a telegram when the game was released and man the toxic shit she spewed was nasty. Proper fking nasty.

And I purposefully disabled the security on my PC and installed something she made.

Yes it was stupid, but I was lonely and really nostalgic for Hogwarts and felt less like donating actual money to a billionaire trans-hater than possibly giving a Russian trans-hater access to my machine.

And millions of dipshits bought into the “dont vote genocide-joe” Russian propaganda, so…

In 1999, she led a Harvard University team who, by use of a Bose–Einstein condensate, succeeded in slowing a beam of light to about 17 metres per second, and, in 2001, was able to stop a beam completely.[2] Later work based on these experiments led to the transfer of light to matter, then from matter back into light,[3] a process with important implications for quantum encryption and quantum computing.

Edit wait I meant to post this to the other dude, sry. I’m just gonna literally double down.

Atomism wasn’t correct though. Atoms aren’t indivisible and they’re not the smallest unit reality has.

“States of matter are made from the same materials, only vibrating at different rates.”

Well yes, but they only identified one material correctly, water. And us being mostly made of it and our planet being quite blue, and water being water, quite obvious.

The five main human senses

That’s a common myth, but it’s a misconception stemming from history and not anything any actual neuroscientist believes. We don’t have 5 senses. We have like 10 to 20, they’re still arguing about it. But here’s the main six and theyre thresholds (ofc everyone knows these ones but the thresholds seem quite interesting, and believable, like in a “yeah I could do that” way)

And a bit of copypaste from Reddit where someone has nicely listed these…

The extended series of senses.

Pressure

Itch

Temperature

Pain

Thirst

Hunger

Direction

Time

Muscle tension

Proprioception (the ability to tell where your body parts are, relative to other body parts)

Equilibrioception (the ability to keep your balance and sense body movement in terms of acceleration and directional changes)

Stretch Receptors (These are found in such places as the lungs, bladder, stomach, blood vessels, and the gastrointestinal tract.)

Chemoreceptors (These trigger an area of the medulla in the brain that is involved in detecting blood born hormones and drugs. It also is involved in the vomiting reflex.)

So yeah I read some of your comment, I can see how those can be interesting metaphors when you’re into that literature, buuut… that’s about it.

Okay you convicted convinced me, edited

I wonder what the porn choice Venn Diagram of girls with a neatly trimmed landing strip and guys with a neckbeard would look like. Would they intersect at all? Would it be a circle? Who knows?

Landing strip + soul patch = landing patch…? Or alternatively, soul strip.

D. Trumper the megadumper, happy as a pig in shit

Edit fixed

I absolutely did not. However I don’t own the Switch, my brother does, and we only reminisced about Goldeneye the once and perhaps I managed to shoot a window in the first level, or perhaps even a guard or two, but no, I didn’t figure out a control scheme.

I’m actually unsure how I played it with N64 in the first place. Did I move from the C-buttons when freeaiming… hmm… I remember at least trying the D-pad setup as well. But I feel like d-pad side wasn’t good because less buttons. Honestly can’t fkin remember. Would need to play with a N64 controller to remember I think. Or perhaps it’s just lost. But I do remember we actually did freeaim and and strafe at the same time, whereas the regular scheme didn’t properly allow for that iirc. (Due to the whole lack of two joysticks)

Also mandatory mention about how shit the N64 joystick was. There were some friends I’d give the good controller to to even out the odds but some weren’t ever allowed near the good ones, because they used way too much force and would’ve shat the good ones as well.

Before dual analogu we also had the fucking bizarre control schemes in 007: Goldeneye

https://goldeneye.fandom.com/wiki/Control_style

I don’t even remember which one I used. Goddamn it was hard playing that with a Switch controller and not remembering at all in the year of our lord 2025 when I had last played like in the 90’s. Even though I used to be pretty much the best person on the game from eveyone I knew. Granted I wouldn’t say I had a massive difference to my brothers but we ofc had a huge lead on everyone else as we were pretty much the only home with a N64 in the town. We also had 4 controllers. Times have and will never ever be better than sitting with brothers and friends playing Goldeneye or Mario Kart while grandma is making pancakes in the kitchen and occasionally providing commentary. She definitely knew what the Blue Shell does. RIP. <3
