Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?

No. Voting in big elections is not the only action you take. This is a conflict with multiple fronts. You need to organize, talk to people, use every option.

Just abandoning the electoral front in this conflict is stupid

The car is already skidding on the ice. Saying “we should have taken the subway” is not useful at that point in time.

In the Gameboy one , you can kill the chicken with the fire wand thing and then the swam stops.

Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.

I’m never going to buy a PlayStation outside of maybe a yard sale second hand situation. Nor will I ever pay a subscription fee. So if they don’t want my money, fuck 'em.

Optimizing for million different hardware possibilities

I’m pretty sure modern development has APIs that abstract a lot of that away from you. It’s not 1999 when you need to talk directly to the hardware anymore

I switched to Linux a year or two ago. Pretty much every game I’ve played has worked fine. (Elden ring, guild wars 2, nioh2, pillars of eternity…)

Even non-steam stuff was basically click and go with Heroic launcher

Why is it only for some people and not universal?

I don’t think I’ve ever “100%'d” a game despite many thousands of hours playing games, and I’m okay with that. I don’t think I’ve ever gone much out of my way for an achievement for its own sake.

Many things are completely arbitrary and yet have weight. Laws. Language. Being arbitrary is not sufficient reason to discard the idea on its own.

It has basis in reality in that it reflects the experience and judgement of many people. It’s a common expression. Given this post seeks the judgment of people, that basis is insufficient to discard it.

Your reasoning is bad.

(46/2)+7 = 30. 30 is the floor. 25 is too young.

Posting this from the train. It’s pretty great.

Took the train to another part of the city. Walked around until I found a little bar with food. Saw a show. Now I’m taking the train back.

Probably because all the horrible shit trump does takes up all the space.

The soul of the USA is rotten. We don’t believe in collective things like mass transit.

I’m surprised there aren’t more cancer patients who decide fuck it and aggressively crash a board meeting.

There are easier and less error prone solutions for accessibility problems than LLMs and AI

Seriously, folks, how hard is it to just walk away?

I read recently that “will power” doesn’t meaningfully exist, but it’s rather the result of many other factors. That said, many people seem to be bankrupt of what one would call willpower. I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s the capitalist hell scape. Maybe it’s the plastic in our bodies. Maybe people are just largely social followers, and with a large enough contingent of idiots many people who would behave better follow down into the slop.

Man, if only they had allegiance to a radical left base. It’s so irksome how republicans just say things without caring about truth or consistency.

Double jeopardy doesn’t typically align with the layperson’s understanding of it.
