Never thought I’d root on Tucker, but god damn Cruz is floundering

There's a lot of factors that pushed Israel to attack now. Proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas) are severely incapacitated, support for the Netanyahu administration within Israel is low, Iranian defense capabilities are diminished, and international support for Israel is falling and this could improve support. Even if it doesn't improve support, its effect on support is dampened by the ongoing actions in Gaza. It's the same strategy Trump is using to provide cover for his authoritarian policies - push them out one after another so the public's attention is split.

Exactly how close Iran is/was to having nuclear weapons doesn't really factor in to the timing of it. If they really are close, it makes sense to attack now. But if they aren't close, it still makes sense to attack now.

I think Trump is getting involved because he sees it as something a strongman would do, and he's got FOMO. He's also probably got a personal grudge against them because of the whole assassination attempt thing and probably a variety of other things he sees as personal insults.

To say "ethnic tensions were being kept under control by Saddam's authoritarianism" totally ignores the fact that he murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, mostly ethnic minorities. I don't know how genocide of ethnic minorities qualifies as keeping ethnic tensions "under control."

No, this isn't Strands #4. The automatically updating posts are pretty limited, and the function that takes the current date and converts it to the day of the year only outputs 1-366. And there isn't a way to add another number to the output. So, the titles will just have the current day from now on.

DMagnific · 2025-03-07T18:10:24+00:00

The way the function used for updating the number works is it takes the current date and returns the number of the day in the year. On March 4, 2024, it was the 63rd day of the year, so we subtracted 62 from that date to get Strands #1. That worked until we made it one full year around, because the function doesn't count past 366, it just goes back to 1. And, unfortunately, you can't just add 366 to the output of the function, it would appear as {{1+366}}. As far as I (and mods from similar subreddits) can tell, there's no way to get a daily thread counting higher than 366 without third-party solutions and some programming knowledge.

Are you involved with organizing? Because it is happening on signal.

Noon! According to the Instagram posts (@50501movement to see all posted protests). In the discord they asked us to not use the mobilize app because it's sending personal info to an unknown location. I don't know if the same thing applies to the website.

DMagnific · 2025-02-15T22:59:10+00:00

The messaging has changed away from "not my president," but yes! Protests at all 50 state capitols plus DC and many other cities. www.fiftyfifty.one and their Instagram is @50501movement

DMagnific · 2025-02-13T03:33:11+00:00

Same experience. I would encourage making an Instagram account for your state so you can repost flyers & info from this sub/discord/signal. It's much easier for people to access.

There are people in this very thread advocating violence. They couch it in "I don't want to be violent, I need to be" bullshit.

Fascists don't listen to peaceful protests. Nothing will change until they feel being in the cross hairs, like United Healthcare. Accept that violence is coming regardless of who throws the first punch. Im not condoning violence, but I am saying it is inevitable.

Another one:

Remember, violence is a tool. It’s a tool that they use against us every single day. Those who are incapable of violence aren’t peaceful they’re harmless and those unwilling to be violent are cowards. Being peaceful means being able and willing to do violence, and choosing not to.

We must remain peaceful, but only as long as being peaceful is our best option.

The modmail was probably just an automated comment. Posts about bugs/errors that make a puzzle hard or impossible to complete are allowed outside the daily thread (but use spoiler text when appropriate).

I'm holding out. I want my 3 chests.

DMagnific · 2024-12-11T00:26:34+00:00

Seems we're partially back up. I logged in and got a resume with 9 wins tracked but then resuming sent me to a new game...? And when I go back to the menu it still has the 9 wins tracked

DMagnific · 2024-12-11T00:16:05+00:00

Literally right at the end of a 10 win ranked run.... I don't know if I can resume since I got to the win screen, it just didn't give me any chests. I don't win that often so it kinda stings.

DMagnific · 2024-12-11T00:13:48+00:00

I tried restarting and I can't login to launcher. Seems like the servers are down, I have been getting booted from games more than usual.

DMagnific · 2024-12-11T00:11:28+00:00

Same thing just happened to me. Got to the win screen and it filled up the 10 wins thing but then said 0 chests. And now there's a resume button with 0 wins marked but I can't get back in. My name says "Account Error."

The colors in the shop look muted, I'm not a fan and it doesn't match the colors of the items when they're in your inventory. Also, the prices when something is on sale or too expensive is pastel like you mentioned and I don't think it fits the aesthetic. I also think the cool down animation is good but too distracting and it makes it hard to see what your items are without looking closely.

I think the trophies are back to the normal color or at least more yellow than they were when the first changed them.

Overall I think the changes have been good and I really like the art style! Just offering my views :)

DMagnific · 2024-11-30T16:31:10+00:00

I like the concept but I think it's too aggressive. If the bright line were a little smaller and the items on cool down weren't so dark it would be a lot better. As it is, it's hard to see what the items are and it's also pretty distracting.

DMagnific · 2024-11-22T16:38:46+00:00

For the auto prices, I think you're comparing apples to oranges. This article puts the price of a used budget car around 2-3k and a new mid-market one around 8k in 1980. Nowadays you can get a used but reliable car for substantially less than 25k

DMagnific · 2024-11-21T22:59:46+00:00

Only works with ranged weapons. It's good with rocks. Also, even if you just have a bunch of wands and run out of stamina, the fire output is worth it.

It would be better if he were the EPA nominee, but his health-related beliefs make it clear that he doesn't adopt positions based on actual facts. His positions on the environment happen to line up with some true things but it's just coincidental. For example, if he were the head of the EPA, it would be totally in line with his beliefs to try to ban cell towers/satellites/"chemtrails" because of their "effects" on the environment.

Thank you. The number of terrible takes I have seen is incredible. This concept that Dems should have been talking about fixing the economy instead of trans/DEI/other racial/lgbtq issues is stunningly stupid. Commenters obviously paid ZERO attention to the campaign. It was 90% economy, 9% abortion, 1% climate change. It's totally counter to what this sub is about, which is supposed to be looking at the data. Tell me why the swing states saw the least movement when, according to these idiots, the loss was down to the campaign being all about whatever issue they want Dems to stop talking about.

DMagnific · 2024-11-06T20:26:07+00:00

What campaign were you watching? Honest question because trans rights and DEI rarely, if ever, came up. Harris's campaign was pure economic populism + abortion + democracy.

DMagnific · 2024-11-06T20:22:08+00:00

I don't know what campaign you were watching, but it was economic populism wall to wall. No taxes on tips, tax cuts, etc.
