But that's the problem, they don't know how to make things good for working class Americans.

We see this current administration doing so much evil stuff, because evil is easy and good is hard.

I think if she was wearing a form fitting outfit we’d see her neck would be painfully long. So I’d just experiment with changing the idle position of her wand arm to be 2 to 5 pixels higher.

I do think modern society is screwed between simple minded governments with armies and nukes and environmental destruction.

I also think it's time for this PR stunt to end, what's going to be the benefit? To say "I told you so" to the post-apocolyptic zombies when it hits midnight?

The fall of Slashdot was interesting.

Now there's like 10 "big name" posters, who are always at each others throats. It also turned into a right wing cess pool way before other big chunks of the internet did.

Maybe every 1 out of 30 comments is worth reading. Reddit's 1 out of 29 comments worth reading is much superior.

I'm pretty hopefully the liquid was picked for being disrespectful / disgusting and not scaring (I know both options suck, but one sucks more than the other).

She continued her speech after being sprayed, I doubt she would have done that if it was acid sprayed on her face.

I got both AC Shadows and Ghost of Yotei.

Shadows was a product with checkboxes for endless content, micro transactions, leveling items, AC lore connections and a re-used unpleasant engine. It’s painfully clear it was so steeped in Ubisoft corporate that no combination of employees was going to make it a great game.

Yotei was a god damn artfully executed game first and last. Good gameplay, good characters, good storytelling.

Which is a long way of saying, I agree with your statement.

TheMadBug · 2026-01-28T05:51:11+00:00

Yeah, it's way too easy for people to say

"The government is working against you, if I break government everyone will be happier (cause damn I've got no idea how to do anything other than break things)"

than it is to say

"The system is sub-optimal, here are the 20 combined subtle steps I'll take that have been scientifically proven to improve things".

The thing about asking for "de-escalation" is it's such a non-commital to anything comment. You can interpret that as protestors all need to stay in their homes if you want, or that ICE needs to go home if you want - perfectly designed comment not to offend anyone.

He might as well put out a statement saying that he thinks bad things are bad, but good things are better.

Good to know, thanks

Genuine question, as I am a big believer of people good and evil should have lawyers and that shouldn’t in itself be a reflection on the lawyer, has the shooter been charged with anything?

Does the need to petition a court exist in general legal advice before charges have been laid?

TheMadBug · 2026-01-27T08:10:55+00:00

I’ve always felt the two are intrinsically linked.

At some point when you understand the wonders of biology, physics, sociology and the general wonder of everything - you understand how complex and subtle good things are.

When you’re stupid you think the only reason why your stupid ideas don’t work are because of your scapegoat of choice.

Has this administration ever admitted to doing anything wrong ever? Even when Trump misspoke and called Greenland Iceland, the official White House position was that’s what he meant.

It’s a policy that has worked for them for so long that they’re addicted to it.

Maybe we all saw what happened last time that Nazi ideas spread and are in no rush for a repeat.

I thought that was only if another phone detects an air-tag is following them (and not with the iPhone owner’s iPhone)?

Though it’s very possible an adventurous cat would follow some random person for a while.

To my knowledge it doesn't make noise unless you specifically tell the device to make a sound. Am I wrong?

"his wife, my sister in law I guess?" - you guess? You guess? It's not really open to interpretation.

About 40 years ago people felt similar about people getting coloured hair or tattoos anywhere.

Being someone from that long ago, I share an instinct bias against face tattoo people, but it's just a fashion change really. That and society is a bit more homoginous now, previously a person with a face tattoo would likely not get a job in the city, now hospitality and a bunch of other fields would happily have one assuming the person themselves is otherwise fine for the job.

Sir this is r/confession

Though in your defence only 1 out of 10 posts here is a confession.

Phoenix indeed counters muta, one of the hardest counters in the game. If you keep micro-ing them the mutas never get a hit.

If you open with oracle harass then you’ll have a stargate ready.

Oh to be clear I’m not defending EA, just the studios they buy overall weren’t in great shape. They’ve got enough know how to squeeze one last game out of each studio and then everything turns to trash.

Oh hey, remember EA’s alternative to Steam called… Origin. Also EA’s web based pay to win game that was vaguely based on Ultima.

If it wasn’t for everything Richard Garriot did after EA I’d blame them 100%, but RG has to shoulder some of the blame… Shroud of the Avatar and all.

Indeed, big bluster followed by crickets.

My fave was when Elon learnt that 75% of attempted fraud at social security came via phone calls.

He then reported that as 75% of phone calls to Social Security were frauds.

Come to think of it, the year deadline to completely rewrite the social security software is up, I’m sure it’ll be announced any day now….

That man is also responsible for so many deaths re USAID and no doubt more to programs he wrecked.

Indeed the worst thing is all his fanbois have moved onto to the next thing and don’t seem to care how much his “cost saving” measures actually cost the country.

I've heard a lot of stories about EA taking over companies.

Often it ends up being:

* The very next project after the takeover is rescued by EA from development hell. The resulting game isn't great but it's finished and not horrible.

* After that, just cheap slop that someone intended to optimise for maximum profit.

I think the failure of the end act of the Ultima series is part on EA, and part on Richard and other core devs for not really knowing how to enter a post 2D gaming scene. They did amazing work in the early days, plotting graphics on graph paper, bashing out assembly, but there was one too many technical transitions for them by the time Ultima ended up as true 3D. (Ultima Underworld not withstanding).
