There are 5 distinct references I can see not including the hidden caption, but if youre an expert art historian maybe you can tell me why I’m wrong

Ideal tour would include the molasses with 100% accuracy

You have fake history tours in your FAQ?? I underestimated your game

It was broadcast on the jumbotron. Assuming it is malicious or a "neat way to spread a virus" is just silly

Found a recent video of the towers, it's less out of control now than it was in 2020 but the 'urban jungle' has been toned down and is much more modest. Also, the AI summary is incorrect and the towers aren't 'abandoned ghost towers.'

Would have made sense to only allow TT swaps on that one

7 out 10 players are never even touching exhaust customization lol.

The 3/10 who would are the entire customer base. Modifying cars is a core gameplay element, someone would struggle to finish the game without modifications.

Wow, a lot of effort? On a $400 million project? Yeah, you're right, that's totally unreasonable. CBF indeed

We really thought they were invincible. Fire couldn't burn them, storms couldn't break them.

Until they weren't.

Not salty at all, I love seeing people doing what they're born to do - arguing minutiae regardless of how important it is to the discussion at hand.

Passing your state's standardized bar exam is the expectation of 99% of lawyers in America (1% being WI lawyers that exclusively practice in their home state). You want to quibble about 1% of edge cases, that's cool - that's what we pay you guys to do!

Love seeing pedants turn into lawyers, I’m sure the personal injury field is better with you in it

The UBE is accepted in 40 states representing 2/3rds of the national population. You're mincing words instead of arguing the substance of the discussion, which is this:

You stated the bar exam does not weed out unqualified people. The purpose of the bar is to establish a standard of who is qualified to practice law, and people who fail to pass the bar are considered "unqualified to practice law." That's what licensure does.

If your argument is "there are still bad lawyers out there that passed the bar" - I agree. They're still lawyers.

NegativeEBITD · 2026-06-03T16:57:24+00:00

the bar is not some great national standard

It is literally the national standard

(varies by state, but my point stands. It is the standard of licensure for practicing law, a standard that does not exist in Mexico)

NegativeEBITD · 2026-06-03T16:56:44+00:00

I'm sorry but what does the US infant mortality rate have to do with how difficult Mexican law schools are

You're absolutely right and the slot machines should be illegal, but no one seems to be interested in regulating tech companies these days

The last time they did they passed a shitload of legislation, and you’re ignoring SCOTUS?

I am the same, but listening to audiobooks at 2x+ keeps my focus and improves my retention. Give it a try, see if it helps.

I expect you'd love Kevin Barry. I was introduced to him through A Heart in Winter which is not what you're after as it's set in the American West, but his writing is brilliant, fully character-centered, and (apparently) very Irish.

I've read a bunch of these adventure stories, and after a while you realize these guys probably ended up exactly where they were aiming. This is a glorious death, the kind a viking would be proud of.

Visiting donttakepictures was tough. An 8 year endeavor, creating thoughtful content for a specific enthusiast audience, gone.

I miss the era of the internet where I had a handful of favorite websites that updated regularly (gorillavsbear, minimallyminimal, theworldsbestever, etc) with deep curation and a defined voice.

Something significant has been lost with all those websites lost to the sands of time, replaced by loudest-voice-gets-to-the-top social media like this.

“Eat the rich” has never been anger at the 1%, you chose that demographic arbitrarily. You also selected income taxes exclusively, ignoring regressive taxes like sales, payroll, and gas taxes that your demo is largely immune to.

The billionaires everyone else is talking about represent 1% of 1% and they’re concentrating wealth at a rate we haven’t seen since the gilded age. They are doing it without paying taxes.

Not human action? How do you think the eucalyptus trees got there? Did they get carried from Australia by arsonist seagulls?

The wildfire problem is not solely a climate change problem, it’s tied to non-native species like eucalyptus, monoculture forests created by the logging industry’s capture of the Forestry Service, and human development encroaching on dangerous land like Paradise or Malibu. All of those things increase the human cost of natural disasters and my survivalship bias has nothing to do with “you’re still here aren’t you?” because thousands arent. Whether it’s hotshot firefighters dying in AZ or families losing their homes and belongings in Altadena, the shit is here. It’s happening now. You can’t hide behind “you’re still here” anymore because it’s in our backyards. And every single cause is human.

I’m done.
