Interesting take, considering the extreme power women have. Women make up the majority of household spending, women in younger generations are making more money than men, and women are now less vulnerable to job loss.

If you’re wondering where the sudden rightward drift is coming from, it’s younger men feeling hopeless and powerless to change it, for the above reasons and much more. The idea that the split is exclusively cishet male/political is wild and borderline irresponsible. While true in some states and circles, it’s wealthy white women/political in others, and cishet men don’t get included at all.

Demanding moderation means demanding an authority makes decisions. Who is that authority? American (neo)liberals? French nationalists? Saudi government? Maybe the owners are beholden to outside authorities like banks and advertisers?

Twitch, X, and Reddit becoming shitholes is an inevitable feature of capitalism and cancel culture. This thought process you have will always result in the oppression of minorities and minority opinions, and a push to the lowest common denominator; in other words, the least offensive, milquetoast, worthless experience people will suffer through but still come back to.

The only reason I would use a very small amount of sugar is to jump start the yeast. That shouldn’t even take a teaspoon though, and it’s only necessary when you have to get a faster rise.

The bread tastes better when you let it rise slowly though.

This paper (like most media) enabled the 1st Trump presidency by giving him all the attention as a candidate in the 1st place.

Worth noting that the Clinton-led Democrats pushed for this to happen, then lost to the joke candidate. These people will do anything but give you what you want, even at the cost of losing to a dumbass loser like Trump. You’ve got to ask if they even want to win.

Wish we’d see more about what some of the actually decent people are up to, like Lina Khan at the FTC: she is kicking ass.

It’s more better lol

Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.

It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.

What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

You need clearer language? Only immature people worry about being “grown up”, well-adjusted people just get on with it.

Normie filter, based in Canada, less tankies, fun name. I mean those are strong selling points.

“when you grow up” is what people say when their skin starts to grow over the mask they wear.

I got tired of half-assing being someone else. Frankly I’m too busy to bother.

“I can’t link this, it doesn’t fit within my corporate values!”

Yeah that’s why I’m here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.

Two groups will 10/10 this game: access journalists and agenda-driven journalists. Everyone else is going to be a bit more critical, especially considering Baldur’s Gate 3 exists and is still fresh.

For me it was Valheim, but BotW is a banger. They make it hard to enjoy games even when they’re actually decent, like Enshrouded and Smalland. You can’t help but feel it’s been done better.

I get that sometimes people don’t know exactly how something works and they get confused, like ethernet splitters not allowing you to split the output of one cable to two PCs. Fair enough, people used to cable TV and phone lines might not expect that behaviour.

What could possibly make you think monitors can be daisy chained? Nothing else in that space works that way either… Though now you’ve got me wondering about USB-C monitors and what kind of unholy hell of client confusion we might be bringing to our doorstep with those.

When I went to install a suite of emulators on the Steam Deck, it was one installer and some light configuration. Installing ROMs involved using an app that automatically digs up the box art and adds console collections to the Steam interface.

All of this largely just worked.

As a millenial that was wild. I’ve never trusted things to just work before but a bunch of open-source devs made it happen. That’s what made me realize we live in different times (and why newer generations have no idea how to actually use computers).

They don’t understand a lot, but when you say things like “browser to the D: drive and attach the document called ‘not porn.jpg’ to an email, and send it to me”, you will likely get that email.

You can’t say the same about other generations because they don’t interact with the technology in the same way, if at all.

Among other things I am responsible for setting up our users with software, and the young folk are not really any more capable than average boomers with PCs. They don’t understand the file system, basic cables, or even the most basic Windows settings.

Fair lol. There are other games with good support but it’s the one I played the most in VR

There’s a great book called “The People’s Republic of Walmart” that suggests a lot of the underlying computational problems of economics have been resolved within these mega-corps, using the same theories and policies once practiced by Soviet-Era states.

Sounds interesting. Chicago school being wrong yet again would hardly be surprising but it still sounds like an interesting read.

lol you get it

You’ve likely interacted with some of their terminally-online dungeon denizens before. They have authoritarian takes that would embarrass fascists, but they call everyone else Nazis. Truly a special and unique crowd over there.
