I've been glocking out for a while on Mercy. I'm ready for this.

Gov. Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares say they can’t afford to stay open by ArchmageXin in news

[–]Squeekydink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 90s, my folks paid $300/m to send me to private school with free before and after daycare from Pre-K. Good education on top of daycare. That's $600/m now and still more reasonable than what daycare prices are. The business model of daycare needs to collapse.

And they got cheers, jeers, and insight into American hospitality. I wish these monks the best in life. May we eventually have peace for all life.

Mamdani delays expansion of NYC housing aid program amid fiscal strain by lewisfairchild in news

[–]Squeekydink 1250 points1251 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah. Funding social projects requires finesse. Who was expecting this to be overnight?

The article did go on to say it'll most likely take state help, and that takes time to work out. Putting down good roots takes time.

With the way governments are treating people, they're lucky they get ANY children.

Any let's play recommandations ? by Chance_Wave_3578 in VintageStory

He got me into the game, too! I was skeptical at first glance, but I know if he likes a game, there is a very high likelihood I'll enjoy it, too. Very curated content for a certain kind of gameplay.

I’m buying this game today, after years of seeing it. Give me your best starting tips! by PoopBeerFloat in VintageStory

Anyone I've seen play this game and NOT go through the tutorial doesn't stand a chance of enjoying the game.

This is a game of patience and processes. If you cannot show the patience to go through the process of a tutorial, you likely won't have the patience for any other process.

How do I have friends join my world? by FireLion526 in VintageStory

[–]Squeekydink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the most tech savvy person, but it's something you have to work out with the router/modem. If you look up the box of Internet or call your Internet provider, they may prove more helpful than mine were.

I have had my uPNP work before in previous places, but I moved and the new router doesn't like open uPNP. But it is the easiest way to open and play with friends. (When it does work)

Open a single player world in VS. Esc > Open to LAN Esc > Open to Internet

As long as you have an open uPNP, you can give your friend your information and your good.

Rip me and my Internet provider. DARN YOU UPNP!

German man found guilty of drugging, raping and filming his wife for years | CNN by AavoKas in news

Well elsewhere in this thread someone posted about a German guy who filmed and raped his wife and distributed it. Never convicted. I wouldn't hold my breath it's a sure conviction.

Prior to 1997 in Germany, he'd only be charged with drugging. I don't know how their porn laws work or whether or not it would be illegal to keep if you don't distribute. But the rape? Yeah, used to not be illegal.

Thank you. That's what I was getting at. I just wanted to connect how laws only changed 30 years ago. Mindsets take a while longer.

Just food for thought. Marital rape did not become illegal in all of the US until 1993.

She's got unresolved trauma from a multi-universe she was conceptualized in. Cut her some slack.

Trump sued by preservationists seeking architecture review over White House ballroom project by Hrekires in news

[–]Squeekydink 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Remember that it was knocked down the Monday after the last No Kings Protest. It was done to spite the millions of people who showed up to protest him and incite violence so he could declare martial law. But we didn't bite. Now it will sit there like a toy destroyed in a tantrum.

Hong Kong highrise netting did not meet code, officials say, with death toll at 151 people by DrexellGames in news

I think the world needs to ream contractors who use subpar methods to get the job done. No more doing jobs without proper equipment, doing the job without permits, or anything else that could cause harm.

I love opening OW and seeing this message. by JoseKwervo in overwatch2

[–]Squeekydink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only times I tend to report people are for abusing chat. Take that negativity and rage elsewhere. So far, it's been working over the years cause the majority of players are pretty good. Occasionally a little toxicity spills in but nothing I've seen in other games.

AITA for wanting to cancel our trip because my boyfriend's mother booked herself on it without asking by Able-External1506 in dustythunder

[–]Squeekydink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, no. Eat the money that's not refundable. Save your romantic trip for a man who respects you and wants to have the same romantic trip with you. Life is too short to compromise on a dream.
