If you have enough money to be in the 1% and choose to keep it to remain in the 1% instead of using it to right the many many wrongs in the world, you can’t be a good person.

Just having that much money, and not using it is a moral failing.

“Infinite growth” is like still believing in the Tooth Fairy, yet these people basically run the world.

You mean their book of blackmail material to keep him in line?

I try to be, but don’t always hit the mark.

I still can’t believe they’ve managed to make not getting sick a political stance.

No. A nation that allows slavery doesn’t practice human rights. For human rights to exist they have to apply to everyone, which can’t work if some people are considered property.

No amount of gotchas, or arguing semantics is going to make slavery okay, and the way you’re replying to peoples answers makes me think you fundamentally don’t understand the question.

I threw out my shoulder trying on shirts at the store the other day…

“Democratic capitalism” is an oxymoron, as without an incredibly large number of regulations, capital will replace democracy as the primary decision maker, by design.

Similarly, 2 was my first Uncharted, which I played partway through at a friend’s. When I got my own PS3 I decided to start back at 1 and found it did a much better job of teaching me how to play the game than 2 did. When I went back to 2 after finishing 1, everything I had trouble with was so much easier, and it was really need to see the jump in graphics between the games.

The Ghoul definitely picked Bloody Mess as one of his perks.

I’m glad they kept the ridiculousness. They could have made it super serious and edgy, and I don’t think it would have fit as well.

Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn’t feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I’ve seen.

Not a software developer, I just do QA on written documents, and being able to have 3-4 windows side by side is really nice. I usually have 1-2 tracking spreadsheets open on the left, and two documents side by side on the right. I use a laptop at work as well, so sometimes I’ll leave it’s screen on for email and Teams chat so neither interrupts my work.

Not OP, but my most recent car is a 2016 Hyundai Accent, and I think it’s perfect. The doors and ignition operate with physical keys, the displays are all physical indicators directly behind the wheel, all the controls have tactile, physical buttons instead of a touchscreen, no infotainment system, and no subscription options.

I don’t think I’d ever want a car more “smart” than that, but I’m not sure such a thing even exists anymore.

“Hey gang!”

Didn’t I read in another thread that Tencent owns Larian? Didn’t they just win, like, every game award ever in 2023?

Since Musk bought Twitter I’ve been more active on Tumblr and as long as you don’t go anywhere that takes itself too seriously, it’s actually refreshing and lovely.

Similarly, when I signed up for Bluesky I decided I’d only follow people I know IRL and artists, and to not be afraid to use the mute or block, and it’s been great. Just a steady stream of art and people discussing art.

I’ve also got Mastodon, Pillowfort, and Cohost accounts I never really use.

Picked up Another Code Recollection. Never played the original on the 3DS, and I’m really enjoying it.

Yep! One of the worst burns I’ve ever gotten too. The potato sticks to you like glue and doesn’t come off right away.

Really sucks.
