I consider that massive article with interviews a good supplement to playing it now: https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/27/18281082/elder-scrolls-morrowind-oral-history-bethesda

And I think Todd has a bit of PTSD from the times he can't streamline production like they do now, completely changing the focus.

Is that taken from his new piss tape? They seem like they'd fight for drops of daddy's urine.

Even before reading the article I started to hear the sounds of UT99 gameplay and have chills.

I feel like they worded it poorly or misinterpret it from the source. Post-soviet edu has all three at 5th grade (age 10-12), the beginning of the middle school, because only then you can start and learn respective fields for remaining 5-7 years. If you place them in the last year of school it you don't have a room for that at all.

I suppose it should've meant 'in their whole 10-year program', not the tenth grade.

I remember there was a suspicion about the nature of these because Tesla have chosen not to be certified by third parties for safety and only posted these in-house crash videos instead, no other data has been shared. It rose some eyebrows because Elon could has dodged the regulations just out of spite and to cut corners in time, money needed for that, but at the same time we don't know if their own tests are legit and how many of them have been done - all we see is these posts by his SMM team. This conversation about CT safety consists of only one party, Tesla, that has obvious economical interests, so you either trust them or not.

It looks like they purposedly made it that way.

Is Uzumaki cursed? (sh.itjust.works)

That's not just second episode and it's dorky animation, the first one is dogshit too. I feel like Uzumaki just can't get a proper adaptation. And it's probably a curse we won't have a chance to lift.

Found this today and I think it's cool and true, although too shooort.

 

I've stumbled upon that in my feed.

 

As I always move fast I have a problem with feeling like I loosely strapped a brick onto myself when I put my phone in my pockets, including waist and knee ones. It chaotically moves at each step and I'm tired of that. To the point I take it in my hand when I'm in a real hurry.

I guess, Lemmy has a lot of people who either run or do outdoors activities and labor.

What are the best positions on the body to make it move less when you walk or run? Are there some great smartphone holders, straps that you can recommend? Can I use it with casual clothes without it looking weird?

I suppose the ones you place on the belt are obvious to suggest first, but I haven't seen them since the death of small button phones and current smartphones are kinda big for that to work. And no, putting it into a bag, a suitcase or a backpack wouldn't work for me for I prefer not to be dependent on carrying them on me.

About the russian Memo (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/interestingasfuck
 

[email protected] posted it around a lot, and it sounds legit due to it being on the .gov site.

I wanted to dig into the original version since I'm a native and have some edge in using it over my homies. Even some rewards at that, kek.

Welp. Mostly it's an easily translateable basic vocab including media-specific words. I suspect it's an american or a russian-american person writing in Russian and sometimes\always using an automatic translator. And they are stupid at that, as they don't know how complex punctuation works or don't read what they post. The punctuation is kinda confusing, sometimes hinting that it's a copy paste from a translator.

  • отличается от таковой - is a rare turn of words that many russians fail at, just like americans fail at they're. I don't know many persons who can correctly put it into a sentence. That's probably a translated text since they can't handle the right placement of commas.
  • ставленником - is a weird archaic word that's sometimes used by nerds of polisci or other humane arts weirdos, it isn't used anywhere else. That's maybe a clue to who wrote it.
  • нового глобалистского социализма - sounds weird, like a direct translation from English.
  • Next, there is a division between the elephant and the donkey, both lowercase, without any punctuation to tell them they are referencing parties, not animals. It's fucking stupid. And not stupid as a result from an AI prompt that can produce a correct phrase, but from a literal translation of a literal translation that lost any indication of what it refers to.

That's just the first picture. All of that sounds weird to my ear, and my assumption, clouded by the US gov's decision to put it onto display, is that it can be legit, but it is written by a person with a political\media background, creating a draft in English, that they lazily translated into Russian. That may be on RT employes, especially international ones.

There are a handful of russian-speaking users on fediverse who can tell I'm wrong.

Ah, yeah, and it really mentions 'manga' although it doesn't make any sense.

  • Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
  • Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
  • Both are in populated influential trade centers
  • The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
  • The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.

This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven't got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.

How BS is it?
