I haven’t been following along the whole time but they wouldn’t even mention the issues forcing always online brought at launch. People quit playing so the servers caught up, but they still won’t add offline. Apparently they have absolutely no interest in the steam deck demographic.
One of these days, when I’m walking through pitch black darkness, these ghosts are gonna finally actually be holding knives at eye level right in front of me, waiting for me to take another step. All because I forgot to be anxious about it that one time.
It’s probably Stable diffusion. I use comfyui since you can watch the sausage get made but there’s also other UIs like automatic1111. Originally for a qr pattern beautifier, there is a controlnet that takes a two tone black and white “guide” image. but you can guide it to follow any image you feed it. Such as a meme edited to be black and white, or text like “GAY SEX.”
Taking away a lane for cars to create a dedicated bus lane made for faster commutes for everyone, thanks to faster, more reliable service on one of the region’s busiest bus routes.
What made cars so central to being an American? I work from home in a rural area, and I need a car. I can’t walk to the grocery store because they built it too damned far away down a dangerous road. So what could I walk to? “Convenience” stores owned by the same companies that run the grocer except it’s all marked up for the convenience. And My employers downtown office doesn’t make business sense for the one time a month they make me drive down there, and the easiest solution, obviously, is to give me a few days notice that I’ll be in office indefinitely.
From then on there’ll be nothing more American than wasting my life on some stretch of highway with parked cars for miles in front of me, waiting to get to the same exit as everybody else, and then waiting to get through the same lights as they are, so I can get to my house that’s one street away from where they’re going.
Maybe we should critically re-examine what our parents were advertised into believing is the most American thing ever. Before the environmental collapse, please.
Culture is as culture does. Cars shouldn’t need to be a necessity for all because some people like them. Does minimum wage afford all Americans a new car today, on top of rent? You’ve been too entrenched in justifying your expensive car loan to yourself.
Okay then both our assumptions were wrong. Again just because cars are your hobby doesn’t mean we should design our society in a way that both assumes and forces car ownership on people. On top of the economics of every household needing at least access to one car, it is literally making our planet unlivable.
And how many corporations force people to come downtown into offices, and either through fossil fuel emissions or tire particulate, pump carcinogens into high traffic/high population areas? If we want to reduce corporate pollution then we should plan to reduce it across the board, and not allow these real estate companies to dictate WFH.
The responsibility to transition to a sustainable world isn’t on the people. But it is the people’s responsibility to ensure their government is legislating issues like this properly. Failure to do so is letting down all future generations. This summer shows the results of 50 years of failing to face these issues head on and instead allowing profits to influence legislation. One of those influences is to force cars on people.
I understand you like your cars but I believe most people only have their cars for these reasons: to get necessities, go to work, and maybe childcare. And many can’t afford the gas to go much further. If more neighborhoods were designed to human scale, so you could walk or ride a bike to access the peoples common needs, that would make living much more affordable and sustainable for many.
So, I basically missed that transitional phase when telephone booths were more commonplace. This has left me with a number of questions about the ol’ telephone booths, but this one strikes me as one of the funnier and more unnerving ones to ask....
I grew up around and still live with these people. Let me tell ya how they think: They don’t. They don’t even really know what a liberal is.
To them a liberal is something other than them. And the ingroup they’ve spent their whole lives trying to fit into says that’s bad, so they are against liberals and everything they do and say and want. But so is everyone they know, so they’ll oppose liberals even louder and more extreme, in a bid to get noticed by their peers at work, church, family, and party.
And of course they’re right, liberals are shit. But they don’t know why, because again they Do. Not. Know. What. A. Liberal. Is.
And if they ever figure it out and outgrow the childish mentality of opposing without understanding, they will be outcast from their friends, family, and community. And that is the fear that keeps them lockstep in line, voting for the apocalypse.
See my other comment. I think that wall of doubt is consciously or subconsciously knowing that if they agree with you, have a realization, and their thinking changes, they will stick out and face getting that same cold shoulder from their friends, family, and community forever. Peer pressure is very real, especially in rural places where there aren’t too many peers to choose from.
That’s what I use but the triggers changing to type whatever you’re hovering makes using shift hard. I wish triggers were shift only and you could just tap the touchpads to type.
Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.
Right there with you. I use —reddit— lemmy on my phone on the go. I want a button in a consistent place that opens it quickly.
I open my browser, oops I was looking at another tab I’ll just go through my tabs to find the specific website I’m looking for this time. At that point the browser is just its own app picker inside of another app picker. I have even added links to my Home Screen as well, but I’ve run into many issues with opening loads of dupes and clogging up my tabs. Maybe browser works in a perfect world (or even just a world where I save links in pocket or something instead of tabs idk) but it kind of just seems like an app browser with extra steps. Browser elitists do themselves no favors acting high and mighty about literally just not having an app? About saving 70MB like it’s 1999? Idk it’s a dumb argument. Everybody’s solution works for them.
Yeah, weird question, I know. I’m just curious if any of the dyes ExtremeRate use happen to fluoresce under UV light. It might make for a neat looking effect....

Is it not enough that epic stole dead island? Now they’re gonna keep dying light forever too. And Microsoft controls COD. The zombie game craze finally died down and these big corpos bought up all the winners. Makes me wish killing floor was fun.
Maybe it’s on me for thinking it would be more cod like and less l4d, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting going in. Plus the audio was a complete sensory overload and I couldn’t pay attention. I need my games to shut up for a millisecond here and there.
In America at least, wealth mobility has been terrible historically. ie. If you were born poor you’re more likely to die poor. Born rich and you’re not likely to lose it. Despite all the data against it, poor people are still sold the American dream. This is a contradiction.
Leftists would see the poor as powerless against a system and society that set them up to fail, and aim to change the aspects of society that forces them to be poor, while others profited and thrived off of their labor.
Conservatives would (if you could read their minds at least, they know their thoughts are awful enough to keep to themselves) see the poor as powerless in the sense that they couldn’t help themselves and are therefore somehow not worthy of a dignified life.
And the fence sitters will allow half assed bandaids like welfare, Medicaid, and food stamps. And when the conservatives say they need to cut taxes for the rich, centerists will happily axe the bandaids, because they didn’t solve the core problems forcing people to be poor (and they were never designed to.)
