On one hand, I agree that "fascist" is broadly overused to talk about things on the right, extending beyond what it should technically refer to to. And that's not something specific to 2025 or the US -- it's been a phenomenon for decades.
On the other hand, that's a two-edged sword. It's also true that "socialist" and "communist" are very broadly overused by the right to try to paint things that they didn't like as being more extreme than they were. During the Cold War, this was maybe more understandable, but it's not at all uncommon for people on the right to call center-left people "socialist" or "communist" even today.
Here's Stephen Miller himself pulling out "communist":
Stephen Miller Rants About ‘Communist’ Judges in Immigration Meltdown
Obama and Harris also both tended to get painted as socialist or communist at every opportunity possible. Neither is anything of the sort.
I used Compuserve only a few times, on someone else's computer. So I'm not terribly familiar with it. However, it looks like they provided a Web interface to them until they shut down the forums at the end of October 2017.
Archive.org has snapshots of that Web interface.
https://web.archive.org/web/20170920031241/http://member.compuserve.com/forum_center/
They do appear to be readable from that point. You'll need to wait for a few reloads after clicking on a forum, as there are some HTTP 302 redirects, but it eventually comes up.
I don't know how long Compuserve retains messages on a forum --- if you saw this in, say, the 1990s, and they expired prior to the Web interface and archive.org archiving them, they may not be on archive.org.
But if you can remember where they were, that might get you there. Good luck!
Hah! Glad to hear that that's another white whale harpooned, then!
I assumed that if you could check it, it'd either have the song or not.
Back around 1991 or so, I saw a promotional piece of art in a centerfold in a Nintendo Power magazine, which was a high-resolution and not-cropped version of the artwork that appears on the Secret of Mana title screen. I really liked the image, and wished that I could get a copy. I thought that someone must have scanned the art at some point, but couldn't find it anywhere online. Back around 2023 --- 32 years later --- after repeated, sporadic hunts --- I finally found a high-quality scan, and uploaded it to !gameart@sopuli.xyz:

I promptly ran into another Threadiverse user in that thread who had been saying that he had been looking for the same thing for ages.
EDIT: Based on this Reddit post of a lower-quality version, the artist is Hiro Isono.
Probably not it --- I'm about 30 years out of date on D&D --- but it does sound overpowered and it is associated with Rillifane:
https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?448029-Post-Your-Chosen-Templates-Here
It seems that a lot of people come to the FR boards looking for info on Chosen of the various deities. To put it quite simply, the majority of them don't actually exist. So on the old FR boards, a group of members got together and started making their own homemade Chosen templates.
I have no idea what "the old FR boards" are, but if it was old in 2013, it's probably getting back towards the time you were looking at.
Could have been taken down due to a copyright complaint if it was using unlicensed commercial music.

I'm not familiar with it, but according to this, the last episode is "The Paradise".
I assume that this is it:
There are various audio services that will identify music if you upload a clip. Sort of TinEye for audio. I can't name a specific service, but they are out there. If you haven't, you might give it a shot.

Canada called me a couple of weeks ago, they want to be part of it

Girlfriend in Canada
A convenient way for a character to disabuse the idea that they're either gay, too socially inept for a relationship or simply unlucky in love is to claim that they indeed have a girlfriend — but the other characters have never met her because she lives in Canada. She doesn't visit very often, but when she does they just spend all day in bed. Look, here's her entry in his phone's contact list. No, you can't see a picture.
The idea is that since "she" lives in a different country, and presumably would have to get a passport and go through all that hassle in order to visit her "boyfriend", it's particularly tempting to make her Canadian as a way of discouraging others from asking too many questions.
The tactic could be scaled up.
Hmm.
So for some software, you can just increase the price.
But...I wonder what that will do to the cost of video games. Typically, those are closer to one-off releases, not packages where new releases exist and are regularly purchased or subscriptions are in place.
I'd expect this to increase the cost of maintenance, if there are legal obligations on publishers to monitor, notify, and deploy security fixes for their software and upstream. You'd think that it might encourage vendors to EOL software sooner; pull it off Steam or the like, mark as no longer supported.
Maybe there are some exemptions somewhere that affect those.
It's not the first intervention in Haiti.
The reason that both a lot of Haitians and a lot of countries didn't want another international intervention was because the prior ones tended to wind up with everyone unhappy and complaining about the situation. The most recent one was UN aid after the earthquake. The UN force that was sent included some soldiers out of some country that had cholera, which started a cholera outbreak, which wound up with angry Haitians calling for reparations and countries who felt unappreciated for what they were doing.

Looks like it was some soldiers from Nepal.
What’s the big deal with POSIX? Why are ppl constantly discussing what is and isn’t posix compliant?
The short version: it's a least-common-denominator standard that spans multiple Unix and Unix-like systems, so if you write to it, your software can fairly-trivially run on various systems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX
Windows has some level of Microsoft-provided Posix support, which is what the post is alluding to. I am fairly confident that it doesn't have full Posix compliance. Cygwin, a separate, non-Microsoft, open-source effort, might qualify.
kagis
Okay, apparently it does confirm to a portion of the Posix standard:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem
The subsystem only implements the POSIX.1 standard – also known as IEEE Std 1003.1-1990 or ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 – primarily covering the kernel and C library programming interfaces which allowed a program written for other POSIX.1-compliant operating systems to be compiled and run under Windows NT. The Windows NT POSIX subsystem did not provide the interactive user environment parts of POSIX, originally standardized as POSIX.2. That is, Windows NT did not provide a POSIX shell nor any Unix commands out of the box, except for pax. The NT POSIX subsystem also did not provide any of the POSIX extensions that postdated the creation of Windows NT 3.1, such as those for POSIX Threads or POSIX IPC.
The teenager was later found “alive and well” on September 26.
"Well" other than the self-inflicted gunshot wound, one imagines.
My impression is that it's hard to find powerful specs alone on an Android tablet. That seemed counterintuitive to me --- I'd think that the extra space would help --- but I think what's going on is that everyone gets a smartphone, and they make that their primary mobile device. Then if they have the funds, they get a tablet, most-often for dedicated movie viewing. The market for that is pretty price-sensitive, so tablets don't generally cost as much as flagship smartphones. As a result, most tablets tend to have good speakers and a decent display, but unimpressive radios, compute capability, and most other things.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gillette
In September 2025, he called for Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal to be executed for encouraging anti-Trump protests, claiming that she supported the "overthrow of the American government".[8][9] Gillette had previously expressed support for people arrested as a result of the January 6 United States Capitol attack, calling them "political prisoners".[9][10] Earlier that month, he had also made social media posts that reject the concept of Islamophobia while calling Muslims "savages" and "terrorists".[11]
He doesn't sound like a very nice person.
EDIT: Honestly, most of his Twitter stuff is yelling, too.
e.g. to pick a random item:
Senator Mark Kelly:
This Pride Month, we honor the courage and contributions of LGBTQ+ Americans who’ve fought—and continue to fight—for equality in Arizona and across the country. Our country is better because of you.
Representative John Gillette:
What about D-Day... always your pathetic pandering. Our country is free because from D-Day - Aug 17 th, 33K Americans died defeating tyranny. We remember that, not groomer awareness month.
Nothing immediately comes up for me, but do you remember approximately when you viewed/downloaded it? If it was in a web browser, could sort by date viewed and start going through your browser history.
I suppose that people not liking NSFW questions is why Reddit had both /r/tipofmytongue and /r/tipofmypenis, to separate the two sets of questions.
goes to Steam, searches for items with tags "Anime", "Singleplayer", and "Shooter", type "Game" to exclude bundles, sorts by "User Reviews"
https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C1774&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1
That's not logged in, so I assume that the 97 probably have adult content or something that Valve defaults to not showing, so figure ~400 games.
EDIT: It looks like "Shooter" can also mean stuff like shmups or rail shooters. You may be interested in that, but if not, replacing the "Shooter" tag with the "FPS" (first-person shooter) tag:
https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C1663&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1
Or the "Third-person shooter" tag:
https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C3814&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1
EDIT2: Apparently and obnoxiously, Valve didn't make search URL links compatible between the mobile version of the site and the desktop version of the site. The above was from a desktop browser. But if you're on mobile, you can probably recreate the search by adding the same tags.
