I could never get the hang of swiping keyboards myself.

I tap tap tap on SwiftKey

I just don't like them.

I have SwiftKey, and also disabled autocorrect.

I have been having terrible trouble with my laptop stuttering and locking up. Very annoying.

I eventually realized it only happens when I am online, so on a hunch I activated the "metered connection" feature (which disables certain internet using features, such as windows update). Now it works like a charm.

I am starting to really hate windows 10...

So... you still remember Hatred?
Yanno that game where you ran around killing people?

Well the creators of that game made another game.

"The player takes the role of NATO’s stationary machine-gun operator, deployed to defend the shores of Europe. His task is to blast as many of the invaders as possible, until his glorious death."

It's basically beachhead but with Muslims and better graphics.

I guess that studio already has it in there head that their niche is offensively violent or violently offensive games. I suppose it 'kinda' works as a you undoubtedly have your core audience that will eat that sorta stuff up, but I wouldn't say it's anything even approaching original.

It also fails at being offensive. In Hatred, you played a mass-murdering nihilist, and it was graphically intense. This new game is just generic, and has you shooting ISIS attackers who come in speedboats (i.e., they are the nihilists, and you are defending from them). That's not really controversial enough to get any media coverage.

Hatred was literally just edge and nothing else.

It intends to be controversial because its a clear jive at the refugee crisis

I think this is the appropriate thread to leave this in.

My parents are starting to get more and more extreme in their racist tendencies. Just a short while ago, my mother and I were driving around nearby neighborhoods, looking for a house to buy. Out of nowhere, saying it like it's actually okay to say, "At least all of the people in this neighborhood we've seen so far are white". And my stepdad, well, I've already seen him speed through an intersection because there was a black pedestrian walking through it. It's starting to get pretty unsettling.

Come to think of it, my mother did say she had somewhere to be in about an hour from now. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a KKK meeting at this point.

Was reading news. A reporter called pastebin a "hacker forum". Research: none was made.

[NJW2000]

Hmmmmmm.

Hard to see how on earth they arrived at that conclusion.

My WTF: animals lose a lot of brain mass when domesticated.

Shouldn't have been that surprised, but was a bit shocked by it.

[Teneb]

Hmmmmmm.

Hard to see how on earth they arrived at that conclusion.

Anonymous posted a how-to guide on how to DDOS a government agency there.

[TheBiggerFish]

But pastebin != a forum.

[cottontailcake]

hrm, I wonder if you can tell your browser not to let it? Sounds annoying and potentially un-customisable.

ooh :// I recently noticed that my facebook had connected to my Skype, and there was no way to tell it to stop save for removing all access to facebook for everything. Given that the only thing my facebook and skype have in common is my email, I really want to know HOW AND WHY that happened. (But not enough to, you know, find out.)

[TheBiggerFish]

Does M$ own both of those?  Or is Facebook still Facebook?

[Frumple]

I'm too lazy to actually compare the numbers, but here, have some data.

So, apparently when USAans talk about eating tubs of icecream, they're often talking about pint tubs (so about 600ml) rather than the tubs we get here, which usually come in a minimum of 2 litres (3.5 pints). Everything I know is wrong.

Oh wow that actually makes more sense. Ice cream comes in 2-3 litre tubs here as well, which I couldn't eat in one go without making myself sick. And obese.

Roughly 33:47 for the arm to leg ratio in males... huh. Mine is about 1:1.

Your arms are as long as your legs? Pics or it didn't happen.
