When I was kid, the bus stopped at every house because the road was absolutely unsafe for children to walk down. It would have been better if they could have consolidated a little, but it would have been unsafe because of the cars.
Fuck cars.
Fuck the car infrastructure.
My current thinking is that for many people, their in-group is whiteness. Conservative policies speak to that. They’re willing to suffer and die for this ideology. Yes, I did just read “Dying of Whiteness”
It’s all emotions and desperately attempting to hold onto the belief that they’re a “good person”
I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.
But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.
Unless the people responsible for him being jailed are personally ruined, i don’t think this is a good outcome.
I prefer Fate’s system:
When you don’t like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you’re less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.
This physically hurt my stomach
Do you use either of them on android? The syncing between android and desktop is nice in vanilla Firefox
Firefox has been fine. I’ve thought about switching to one of the cooler forks but I haven’t gotten off my ass yet.
This is really quite “are we the baddies?”
They have poor media literacy and reasoning skills. If they were smart and empathetic, they probably wouldn’t be hateful.
I really would like people to think more about that.
If you produce more valuable stuff and get paid the same, you’re getting a bad deal. It’s delusional to think the owners are going to pass those profits on to the workers in any meaningful way.
Oh, hard to pick! Maria was a good fight. I finished it by parrying her with the pistol, and then missed the critical attack so I just bonked her and she fell over. Still counts!
Moon presence was also pretty cool, and felt like it was a few tweaks from being Really Hard. It does that move where your health goes down to 1 and you have to rally it all back! Luckily for me the axe is good for rallying, and the boss is very generous about waiting for you. Elden Ring feels like it wouldn’t have given such a long recovery opening!
I finished it and the dlc! The orphan was tricky. I don’t think anything took more than five tries though. Hunter’s axe is MVP.
Definitely a good game. Interesting setting.
Tried a bit of a new game with the cane sword and it’s way less solid.
I vote in every election. New York has ranked choice for some things now, which is nice. The way judges are picked is pretty bad, though.
I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon
Finally got around to playing Bloodborne. It’s good, but after playing Elden Ring it seems easier than expected.
I don’t disagree with you but it’s comforting to me to hold onto the fantasy that the something else would be better, like exchanging a quality good for money in a one time deal.
But yes, capitalism is a common source of many problems. (Though I guess a worker owned collective could produce loot boxes, too. )
Sometimes I get really depressed when I think about problems that could be solved if people would just behave slightly differently.
If people would just stop buying lootbox slop, it wouldn’t be a problem. it’s not asking a lot. It’s not asking you to change your diet, or ride a bike twenty miles in the snow. Just stop buying that shit. I just want to smack impulse buyers on the nose with a newspaper, or squirt them with a spray bottle. Stop it!
But that’s not how people work. We barely function at all.
Some of them must have physical access to leadership. Just lock the doors.
