i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

It’s sad to see Deno being discontinued. However, I think it’s not all terrible. Deno pushed server side JS forward for everyone - Node copied many the standout features Deno had at launch in 2020, bringing them to the masses. Fetch, web sockets, web crypto, direct TypeScript execution, and more. 🫡

endlessly funny to me that when a team thinks maybe it wants to trade for a guy, it sends all its scouts to watch him in person. “is this guy for whom we have extensive video and statistical records dating back to when he was five years old any good?” ”not sure, let’s watch him friday to find out”

Trichotomy (which we're assuming the set to which x and y belong satisfies) divides the number line into three parts and visually they go on the left, in the middle, and on the right, like the second option, even though it's much longer. Could take out one of the devil masks I guess.

Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!

only 33% of the swiss electorate turning out against doing national suicide to spite migrants is nasty work

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

The Swiss today rejected a referendum, championed by an anti-immigrant right-wing party, to "cap" the country's population at 10 million. www.bbc.com/news/article...

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

we had become pretty diehard spirit flyers, simply because terminal A at laguardia is a joy to fly out of. waiting with bated breath to see who takes it over.

we need to 1. remove tons of parking spots and replace with loading zones 2. Require delivery services to use trucks that actually conform to the size of our streets 3. punish companies for incentivizing workers to engage in dangerous behavior

I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

My dumbest sports opinion is that they should do Olympic speed skating on a really long, straight track instead of laps on an oval track

eventually chotiner’s god-tier reputation is gonna go to his head (like, it has to, it can’t not) and every additional one of these we get until then is a blessing

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

extremely fascinating how many people apparently read this as a straightforward exhortation rather than an endorsement of a particular course of action.

Just once I'd ilke to hear a coach say "we're dying to get into a track meet with them. Our guys are better than theirs at that kind of hockey, so if we can trade chances with them that gives us the best chance to win".
