Surely he exists in the real world, with like an address and favorite outdoor dining spots. These people are too comfortable in their evil lives of wealth.

I remember trying to explain fitts law at an old job I worked at when trying to push back against their horrible interface.

Also mouse tunnels are an embarrassment, but they made so many of them. (That’s where you mouse over something to reveal a new menu, but if you mouse out of the menus they close. If the second menu is on side and longed than the first, going from the top of the first menu to the bottom of the second will probably mouse out, and close it. Rookie mistake. Management wouldn’t listen.)

YouTube and other platforms are guilty for platforming this stuff, too.

This supreme court is a farce. But my understanding of history is that that’s actually the norm.

We’re not far off from The Smith Act making a comeback. That “we’re going to arrest people who attended a meeting once” stuff is in living memory. The US has never lived up to its stated ideals.

Need more details to really make sense of this.

There are some things in games that could be parses as annoying or core, depending on what you’re looking for. Like, some people might say not being able to quick save/load is horrible, and being sent back to a checkpoint on death is bullshit. But that’s fundamental to some game loops

They’re going to be meeting in person at the same time and place?

That sounds right. There’s a chunk of the population that just have broken brains and souls. They’ll follow their king to the grave.

I hope he’s never heard from again.

They’re not trying to make a good product. They’re trying to get their short term gains.

Normal capitalist bullshit where a handful of people (who probably don’t even do any work) make decisions and keep almost all the profits.

The majority of the time you just click play in steam, heroic, or whatever. It’s no worse than windows.

I don’t do any tinkering on my desktop.

Shouldn’t be allowed. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

First of all, “there’s no money for this” coming from the federal government is a lie, on any topic. They just don’t want to, and take advantage of people not knowing how money works. There’s always money for bombs, but for schools and social services not so much.

Second of all, as others have said, capping social security payments per year is stupid. It should be progressive. The first $x don’t get taxed at all, then higher rates as your income goes high.

Third, it shouldn’t be tied to your personal contributions. We live in a society, despite what anti social conservative monsters say.

That really red area under the mouse cursor is… Borough Park? Super conservative Jewish area? Or maybe bensonhurst? I live here but am apparently bad at maps.

Resignation is not enough. Imprisonment for social murder.

I think it was heart of stone where I found random soldiers that were like level 40, and were thus inexplicably hard to kill. Kind of sucked. (Tip: setting things on fire does percentage damage, and so scales really well)

Nothing in the game is the kind of execution challenge difficulty I enjoy. It’s not like elden ring where you really have to manage spacing and stamina, consider your weapon, spells, skills. You can mostly just level and upgrade your stuff in witcher3, and win with face rolling.

Which is fine. That’s a valid kind of game. I just lost interest when replaying it because without the story to keep me in, the moment to moment gameplay wasn’t compelling enough

I didn’t really struggle with the controls when I replayed part of it this year. I lost interest because the difficulty starts out a little rough (wolves will kill you) and then a few hours later you’re so strong that even narratively scary things just melt.

A lot of people died to get the pittances we got from the ownership class. Decades of

• labor: we want to paid in real money, and work less than 12 hours a day 6 days a week
• owner: no
• labor: then we’re going on strike
• owner, to the state: HELP
• the state: sends police and troops to do violence to labor

The idea that peacefully asking for stuff on its own is effective is largely ahistorical. A happy myth sold by the people who would be receiving violence.

I would so much rather just have a full timestamp. I can do the delta fine myself.

They won’t learn. They can’t learn. Their ego is too fragile and too wrapped up in disinformation and nonsense. Accepting that conservative policies are bad actually would break their shitty little minds.
