Maybe, but…they’re a blahaj user. It seems far more likely to me that they just misunderstood the news or misinterpreted what’s going on.

This doesn’t seem like the appropriate response

I actually wouldn’t mind upgrading to Windows 11, but I ran Microsoft’s compatibility tool and it told me I couldn’t. I only built my computer in late 2018, and have upgraded storage space since then. But it’s nowhere near old enough to need replacing the motherboard or processor.

Microsoft is just requiring an arbitrary hardware specification as an olive branch to their hardware manufacturer partners.

Not always. The vast majority of the time the police never bother to charge the actual criminal, in part because of their bias against the victim, and thus there’s no room for anyone else to step in. In other cases, the justice system fails. Richard Pollett’s killer is still walking free. So is Richard Burden’s. Chris Culver and Geoff Havill’s killer wasn’t even acquitted by a jury, but by professionally-appointed judges.

Police said he can do what he likes in his own living room

In my experience the police would find a way to blame the victim, because car drivers can do no wrong in a motornormative society.

I don’t think I’d agree you must believe in the Nicene Creed to be Christian. Did Christians not exist prior to 325? Or perhaps even 381, when its current amended form was created?

I’d definitely say being non-Nicene puts a bit of an asterisk on claims and opens you up to discussion about whether or not you’re truly Christian, but I wouldn’t say it’s a clear-cut thing.

Mormons are non-trinitarian, so I’d say people trying to claim that they’re not Christian have a much better case than protestants saying Catholics aren’t Christian.

Uh uh, I specifically said I was only talking about how each religion got started. So in Scientology we’re talking about a science fiction author who had previously said the way to get rich is to start a religion. The nature of that religion is irrelevant.

For Mormonism, we’ve got an American treasure hunter who happened to find American-Jesus fanfiction written on some plates, translated them by looking into a hot with a rock, and then when asked to repeat it to verify it said “whoops, I lost the plates, but here’s some other ones that tell the same story but slightly differently”. And nobody outside his inner circle was ever allowed to actually see the plates to verify their existence.

So in one we’ve got a wild story full of very lucky coincidences and circumstantially-suspicious claims. And in the other we’ve got a much simpler story, but it’s pretty explicitly telling us it’s a scam.

I don’t know which has a more absurd origin story, in terms of how ridiculous it is to believe it given the history of how it started (irrespective of the actual dogmas), Mormonism or Scientology.

Fundamentalist protestants hate Catholics almost as much as they hate Jews and Muslims.

Since it was meant as satire

If it was satire, why is it in !nottheonion@lemmy.world?

Oh shit you’re right. It just says genetic material. I was interpreting that as “reproductive material”. Which was giving them too much credit, because that’s not the same thing.

discharge genetic material

Could you not argue that a woman is doing this every time she has her period?

Good post.

Wrong community.

The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It’s a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

• Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
• Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
• Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course…)
• Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

Wahoo absolutely does this.

I managed to find aoe3 and aom on the site by using a site-filtered Google search. Couldn’t find 1 or 2, but with both of those that I found being “remake”, I suspect the two I didn’t find would be the same.

It’s interesting, and perhaps highlights how vague the line is between remake and remaster. AoM I can see being called a remake (at a bit of a stretch), but 2 & 3 are pretty solidly remasters in my mind, due to being entirely in the original engine with just a bit of new QoL features and improved graphics added.

And they updated some of the levelling to work more like Skyrim, because the Oblivion system sucked in comparison

Updated how exactly? Oblivion and Skyrim both have pretty serious flaws. I believe there are popular mods to fix the Oblivion system in a way that still feels like Oblivion, though it’s been a long time since I’ve read in to any of it.

Out of interest, how does that site classify Age of Empires Definitive Edition (and aoe2:DE and aoe3:DE) and Age of Mythology: Retold?

Oh yeah. Now that you mention it I had heard that before. Ah well, it woulda made a good anecdote.
