The U.N. Is Planning To Seize Global ‘Emergency’ Powers With Biden’s Support

The proposal might be the biggest attempted power grab in the history of the United Nations. If approved, the United States as we know it could cease to exist.

"The pandemic shutdowns stole years off my life!!!" normies say, as not being able to go to parties or bars for a year was one of the most traumatizing part of their lives. However for all the people that lost their jobs and businesses, or were unable to visit friends and relatives at hospitals and funerals, well they were just ''selfish'' for complaining. It's what the teevee told them! But being unable to slut it up at a club or 'find yourself abroad'? Totally legitimate.

Reminder I am possibly maybe looking for people who are possibly maybe interested in creating Quake-style BSP maps or assets.

Despite having less than a month to work on this. I still don't know what the game will be. It will either be a mediocre Quake-style FPS, a schizo walking simulator.

The highly likely backup scenario is it's literally Chuddy chases you around the Backrooms, plus "extra" (whatever I feel like).

Windows users are victims to stockholm syndrome, I’d like to remind everyone the following list of features is not normal or necessary:

Updates take forever and use loads of resources.
PC needs to be rebooted after installing any software.
Random software needs full control of your PC to make sure you’re not doing anything you “shouldn’t be”.
An internet connection is required to play.
Your computer talks to you? Why?
An operating system is 30GB large.
Updates are mandatory.
Advertising, everywhere, constantly.
You pay for this?
Troubleshooting anything is a nightmare, shrouded in mystery and undocumented chaos.

I implemented an "alt-color" texture system. The primary color palette is 9 colors, 3 colors for a secondary palette, and 2 UI colors. I re-map black to be used for both the primary and secondary palettes, so 10 and 4 colors.

Diffuse textures are stored as grayscale, my parser will remap 0-255 to 0-127 unless the alt-color flag is set, in which case it wont. The renderer will use the upper bit to pick which palette to use.

In this example the "green" is the alt-color.

I'm always real conflicted between

"God, new people on the fedi? Urrrrrrgggghhhhh"

And

"You people are going to banish us all to hell if you continue to use Big Tech's bullshit, come to the fedi already"

Every time some petty dictator "shuts off" the internet in their country, it should remind us that we need another internet. Or dozens. Or millions.

The technology was designed to be redundant, but in our laziness, we have allowed gatekeepers and choke points to creep in - places where authoritarians can apply censorship.

The internet is the vehicle for our shared culture. It is far too important to let ANYONE access to an "off switch".
