Elon Musk should be abolished.

It’s the only MMO I felt was good. Feels like a real game. No level or gear grind.

I didn’t do the latest expansion yet but I’ve done all the others.

Do I just get one shot or can I keep trying until I get it right?

Basically anything that reduces Republican power in the US is probably a win overall.

In their suit, bike lane opponents, who include popular Astoria businesses like Parisi Bakery, Sotto la Luna and King Souvlaki, argued that the project would “jeopardize” the safety of cyclists and “increase the likelihood of injuries” to pedestrians — despite city data and mounds of research showing protected bike lanes do the exact opposite.

Said opponents need to be barred from further speaking on the topic. Lying should lose you credibility. Being full-ass wrong should as well.

Fuck cars. I just wanna ride a bike and not worry about dying.

That’s how I read it as well. People who say there’s no ethical consumption, and then act like all wrongs are equally wrong so they might as well do the worst thing.

I remember a bunch of coworkers leaving during COVID and I was like “ok but what’re you going to do after? It’s fucking boring where you’re moving to.”

I’m a Republican

In 2025? Why on earth? No Republican policy is good. Their policies don’t align with their marketing.

He’s not even in office until January , so anyone sincerely saying that has an extra layer of idiocy.

There might be meetups near you doing games. There’s one here in NYC that’s very friendly I’ve been to.

Utter bullshit. Israel isn’t part of New York City. Israel is doing war crimes.

I buy music. Drm free. I don’t want to rent it from Spotify. It’s Bandcamp Friday today btw, where the people making the music get a bigger cut.

Stop letting companies consolidate.

People get mad when things make them feel bad. They don’t want to fix anything they just don’t want to feel bad.

Yeah if AI was actually good you wouldn’t need to mandate it. No one was like “everyone here must use Google search”.

On the one hand, omnipresent surveillance is bad and ripe for abuse.

On the other, I feel like the haphazard and selective enforcement of traffic laws by police officers is also really bad. Cops can selectively enforce laws so poor people or black people or whatever out-group suffers more. A machine should be impartial.

On the last hand, no traffic enforcement is probably going to get people killed. So that’s not desirable.

Also, fines are problematic. Fines should probably scale with wealth, but also it shouldn’t be a revenue source because that’s a perverse incentive.

Companies fill up with idiots and parasites. People who are adept at thriving in the role without actually producing value. Google is no exception.

There are dozens of us reading rock paper shotgun!

But yeah, the modern web sucks. It’s all soulless algorithms and profit/rent seeking.

Even if someone tried to make forums again, they’d probably fill up with AI slop.

Weird that it’s unsupported on steam deck. Doesn’t look that demanding technically.

I really liked CrossCode’s art and vibe and everything. The puzzles are good, too. But the puzzles are kind of hard in a way that tires me out.

I guess that’s how some people feel about dark souls. “Oh, I’m glad that’s over”. That’s not quite the vibe I’m aiming for.

Maybe I’ll play it with a friend who’s good at puzzles so I can just do the fighty parts.

Assuming what you’re saying about the harms of consuming pornography, is it the state’s responsibility? Is it a top priority? Do we trust conservatives to implement a solution in good faith?

The answer to all of those I think is no.

There’s no analogous ID check for violent media, so far as I know.

There could be a raging wildfire and I would hesitate if a Republican said “let me deal with it”. They are fundamentally untrustworthy.

That’s on top of the deep irony of the same party that goes on about “small government” and “parents rights” is typically the same one pushing draconian anti-porn laws. It’s a joke. “A government small enough to fit in your bedroom”. Their motivations are so corrupt I am extremely skeptical of anything they propose.
