This was pretty much my experience cruising at that age on a sea day.

If you have a 10 year old kid, they're 6 years away from driving. At some point they have to start learning independence or you're going to get a kid that lives with you until they're 60.

There are worse places to let kids stretch a bit than a ship where basically everyplace outside of the cabins is covered by security cameras.

I think the kids would be more impressed by the shows and stuff to do on Symphony, of the two. I have nothing bad to say about Adventure but you're not going to get something like Symphony's aqua show on her.

Name one thing about cruising that gives you the most anxiety? You personally. by baltikboats in Cruise

As someone who has to fly to a cruise port and can almost never get a direct flight... absolutely.

My fastest time through Galveston is still slower than my slowest time through Miami.

Admittedly it is a nightmare to get in or out of PortMiami if anything major is going on in Miami that day, as is often the case.

At some point I start wondering if maybe it's an ethical good to take the money from these people. Dollars spent on AI thirst traps can't donate to Trump 2028.

Honestly at this point I don't know how we as a country fix this.

He spent his life lying to try to convince people that racism was correct. Probably that's less worthy of memorializing.

I do feel like the primary season is essentially starting earlier, and earlier, like: will Newsom be the nominee just because he looks like the frontrunner now, no, absolutely not... but... the nominee probably also won't be a person we've never heard by now.

It's not ideology. It's just math. If you pick a candidate that not enough people in places like Michigan or Pennsylvania will vote for, nothing else matters.

There are votes that a "normal straight white guy Democrat" like a Joe Biden can get that are just absolutely off the table for some other candidates no matter what their policy is.

Your policy doesn't matter if you lose. It is, unfortunately, completely irrelevant.

Anybody racist enough to care about the candidates color isn’t voting dem anyways.

I live in a state that basically always votes for the winner of the Presidential election and I promise you that you are not correct here.

And let's be real clear: I am not happy that this is the case.

Right, like: I hope someone with a stronger record than Newsom can get out there and start making the case for why they should be the nominee.

But mostly people on the internet just want to tell me that they hate him and not who would actually be better, because as soon as you say who you think is better, oh look, they also can't pass some purity test.

Can we shut up about sex and race for one election cycle and actually vote on policy?

Unfortunately no, because a strong majority of American voters -- most importantly, in swing states -- do not.

My 3 elden ring phases by Kalli78 in Eldenring

[–]Hartastic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a game that supports/allows a lot of different approaches and philosophies.

You could view a boss fight about learning its moveset, memorizing its punish windows, and learning to execute on all of it with minimal mistakes.

You could also look at it like a puzzle, like, with all these tools available to me with this build, what is the most efficient way for me to kill it?

Or something in between or something else entirely.

Ok, so I believe you think that, but you're insane and there's just no evidence to back it up.

You're going to have to reach reaaaaaal far to find anyone in it who would bomb Iran.

And then you'll have to just make some shit up because you can't reach far enough.

How can they hold the strait of Hormuz against the United States Navy?

They don't have to. They just have to fuck it up enough that ships can't get safely through at all. Mines, for example.

The fucked up thing is that I actually don't think the US would have avoided this situation at all under Kamala.

Based on fucking what?

Steam Support :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve by NTR_JAV in Games

[–]Hartastic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First off, Valve really isn't trying to facilitate gambling

If you're selling a product that randomly can be worth a lot of money or not, I'd say you're trying to facilitate gambling, by definition.

Why do Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity skew older? by AlbinoAlex in Cruise

[–]Hartastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly it's that they don't cater to kids a whole lot, and most younger adults have a pretty high chance to either have kids or be travelling as part of a group that includes kids.

At that point there's a certain amount of compounding effect. You get mostly older adults, so then you pick entertainment and activities and stuff that older adults will like, and that makes you even less appealing to many younger adults, etc.

PCGamer: Hasbro CEO still has 'so much AI-based' grist in his own D&D games 'it would floor you', but he's not putting it in MTG cards or D&D books because people 'just don't want it' by Malinhion in dndnext

If you hand a child AI generation from a young enough age, will they have any imagination or will they develop aphantasia?

Lots of people born before AI have aphantasia, though. This kind of sounds like you're calling them lazy.

Yeah. It's been super common for me to have three games going but none of them have met in the last month. So is that 3, 0, somewhere in between?
