These options are kinda wild, and I’m wondering from where they’re sourced. Of the ones available, I think I’d prefer Newsom.
Has Pritzker expressed any interest? I thought he was a bit busy being my governor.
The problem is that to argue this point, you have to start going through all of the facts like case conversion rates, the domestic abuse rates, the rates of racist attacks by law enforcement, and the membership overlap between law enforcement and white supremacist groups. Once you start bringing up that many numbers, the idiots get confused and their eyes roll out of their skull, whereas the centrists get too scared realizing that basically no cop is actually trying to keep the U.S. safe and try to shutdown the conversation.
It predates human civilization, and likely even predates homo sapiens. Our great chimp ancestors were likely trading spare food for sexual favors, though whether you can consider it the oldest profession depends on your definitions.
It’s only okay when the alternative is “your entire population is killed.” If you’re not fighting a defensive war with high stakes, then it’s just a way to kill poor people and political dissidents.
My raidteam managed to get a server first boss kill while raiding Mythic Tomb of Sargeras in World of Warcraft:Legion. I was so proud of our teams achievement, I actually got a tattoo of the Mark of the Kirin Tor, a symbol for my mage character, in commemoration of the achievement.
This almost feels like bait, your instance is Lemmy.ml. The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, your home instance is literally the home for far-left ideology. You’ll still see a leftist bant for the reasons commenters have mentioned, but the single biggest reason is that your instance is owned and operated by them.
God I remember the hell out of Spiderman 2. I only had it on like a demo disk, so the game ended shortly after your battle against Rhino, so I just spent ages swinging around the city.
no no, I think these are the right kinda fantasies.
Yeah it’s because Americans are fucking terrible at governing.
The vast, vast majority of Americans do not care about their elected officials. Most do not even know who they are, and just vote based on party affiliation or don’t vote at all. Our government structure also fundamentally doesn’t work, and we would be far better served adopting a parliamentary system like the rest of the developed world, but nobody cares enough to do anything. Our courts are corrupt thanks to Donald Trump, gerrymandering means our elections are hardly fair, the list goes on.
America has an apathetic government that accomplishes very little and is easily captured by hostile forces because it is exactly the level of government Americans are willing to put in the effort for.
The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It’s kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.
The reasoning is nonsensical and requires several baseless leaps of logic to even begin with, of course it will get downvoted. OP’s kinda the confused one here, they should have expected bad faith arguments in response to this post if it wasn’t just bait, but hopefully they’ve learned what American Libertarianism is actually like now.
I don’t know if I’m more worried about the potential you made this or the reality that you had it available. Why did I read it?
Look idc if no contact happens, what happened in Demolition Man seemed hot as hell.
I mean, sure, technically. They’d have to know English, know the programming language that was used for the probe, know the transmission frequency that the probe accepts, know the boundaries and limitations of the probe so that they don’t actually force any errors, and presumably would need to crack the encryption preventing anyone else from reprogramming Voyager 1. They’d also either need to be able to generate incredibly strong radio waves through space in order to transmit their code, or they’d need to be close enough to us that we’d be able to detect their presence.
While that’s all technically possible, the odds of it happening are pretty low.
There certainly was a “golden age of gaming,” where the cost for a studio to exist and make a game was pretty low and they were more willing to experiment. The thing people forget is that there was so, so, so much trash and shovelware made during that era as well. We remember the incredible game that innovated and drove the medium forward, and we forget the movie tie-ins and genre knockoffs.
These days, AAA has forgotten how to innovate, and nearly all of it is being driven by indie titles. This is because, once again, the cost to develop is now so low that literally anyone can do it. The amount of trash and shovelware we’re getting is almost ludicrous though, so it’s a lot harder to find the great titles that are overlooked, but extremely high quality has a remarkable way of cutting through the noise.
I think this is a little disingenous. Plenty of leftists are academics who have studied economic/political theory. If you’re already willing to put yourself through reading Marx, you’re probably also the type who’s willing to read Milton.
Have you already read through Plan 2025? It’s kinda the latest huge report from the Heritage Foundation, and I’d say it does a pretty good job of outlining modern right-wing ideology. It can definitely be a hard read though, some of the things they want are really stomach churning to me.
60,000 of anything is basically a monster. I wouldn’t even want to be confronted by 60,000 koalas.
I think there’s something to be said for being able to show somebody you love a thing that you love for the first time, so I don’t necessarily want someone who’s so intelligent that they’re jaded to the world. However, after dating a man who was on the level of “Winter lasts as long as the Christmas season, spring starts in January,” I realized that doesn’t apply to basic facts about the world. I also don’t want someone dumb enough to try and reject those basic facts about the world when questioned. I’m not really looking for a specific level of education, just someone who’s interested in learning more about the world.
