They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:

Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Protect your hearing. Listen to loud music in moderation and use earplugs in loud environments.

Jean creamer. Even the cheap stuff works wonders.

Meta Quest 3. I had been saving for a Valve Index but I was getting impatient. Turns out it was an amazing buy and (for me personally) having an untethered headset was more important than I realized. My computer room is small but my living room has plenty of space. Plus the Steam Link app works so well nowadays I can still play Steam VR games but wirelessly anywhere in my house. Pretty awesome deal for something that costed half the price.

You forgot the constant Linux fellating

No law prevents a convicted felon from running or winning the office of the presidency. As for the question of self-pardons, that’s something that everyone on both sides would hotly debate as it’s never been tested before. You would think there’s an obvious answer (he can’t) but unfortunately laws get fuzzy at the very top and decisions are usually dictated by historic precedent (which there is none for this scenario in US politics.)

Okay but my question was specifically if Ubisoft was asking that question at the same time they are making these decisions. That last panel would be funnier if it were true.

Is there a source for Ubisoft wondering why they are a hated company or did you just make that up

Battlefront II 2017 still looks gorgeous and like it could have been released yesterday.

If you like it and it works for you, then great. I’m in the same boat.

Besides your first point, all the other ones sound like issues with the Reddit communities you are posting to, not issues with Reddit itself.

I was always told that the reason you used to see an Olive Garden next to every Red Lobster is because a husband/wife couple owned both chains and wanted the restaurants placed next to each other. Then a decade ago when they kinda stopped doing that it was because they divorced.

I can’t find a single piece of evidence that supports this claim online. The two restaurants were just owned by the same parent company and Red Lobster got sold off in 2014.

I waited a long time to get into VR because I was anticipating spending $1k+ on some tethered headset and I wanted to avoid Facebook. Finally my curiosity got the better of me and I bought a Quest 3.

Holy moly I’m so glad I did. It’s an incredible device that costs half as much and yet does more than the headset I was planning to buy. I know Lemmy leans very anti-Facebook, and so did I to an extent, but I don’t regret my purchase one bit.

The leaked audio of the republican discussion was pretty eye-opening
