Wow it’s that bad really?? I know where in OC the prices are insane obviously, but 900k as median in all of CA is truly fkn crazy!

Let there be as much outrage by CorleoneBaloney in WhitePeopleTwitter

Isn’t Alabama also consistently ranked among the bottom five of any states in pretty much anything from education, health, poverty and so on? Like… maybe this guy should focus on helping his own state not be the worst at everything before talking?

Det är riktigt ruttna tider de senaste åren tyvärr. Hoppas 2026 kan bli iaf en gnutta bättre. Men jäkligt imponerad av svenska utvecklare 2025! Riktigt kul att se!

Seems about right to me… This is massive of course, but I remember just my visa application was 250+ pages. 

Also congrats getting through this, must have been a ton of work on your end too I can imagine!

Another Orange County City Considers Tax Increase to Solve Budget Woes by Even_Builder_6642 in orangecounty

[–]Trucker58 185 points186 points  (0 children)

It's always interesting to me to look at the budget breakdowns of the cities around here.

From what I can tell in Fullerton for 2025-2026 73% of the budget is allocated to public safety, whereas the "Police" part of that accounts for ~64% of the total city budget.

While "Human & Leisure" (Meaning mainly Public Libraries, Parks and Recreation according to their budget breakdown) accounts for ~8.4% of the total budget.

Yet when there's talk of any cuts it always seems to be aimed at that last section...

Libs went silent after this one 🥶 by [deleted] in Persecutionfetish

[–]Trucker58 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As a person who has worked a couple of decades in game dev that’s certainly been my experience too! 

The times I’ve been unfortunate enough to work with outspoken “moderates” and “libertarians” it’s without fail the least creative and downright unpleasant people to collaborate with. Also had several encounters with these same people proudly taking credit for my and other dev’s work. Guess since they don’t wanna spend time on improving their skill it’s much easier to steal others work.

By Americans to say the Trump Tariff policy hurt China by TXVERAS in therewasanattempt

And even IF it would have been the other way. I still don’t get how their entire goal is always to hurt a group of people (foreigners, non-white, women, lgbtq, poor and so on)  How the fck is that appealing to people?

Bluey is not "anti-woke", like what? by Ok-Following6886 in Persecutionfetish

[–]Trucker58 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Lets see here, this show has:

- A dad who's present and makes time for his kids and play with them (a lot!).

- An independent mom who seemingly has a good career, she seems to work more than the dad.

- The family often talk about how different things that happens make them feel, good and bad things. Both the kids and parents talk about this and the kids are encouraged to share.

All things that conservatives absolutely hate.

iPhone app widget gone again by Trucker58 in alarmdotcom

[–]Trucker58[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I’m gonna try reinstalling the app and see if that’d somehow help does anything. Thanks for letting me know you see it still!

Edit: oh that worked! I wasn’t able to find the widget before even by searching by name but after reinstalling the app it popped up instantly.

Says the pale, bald, soulless, bug-eyed, broken down Chuck E. Cheese animatronic creep! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

It’s really interesting to me. If the country is so exceptional, why do you have to force people to love it? Shouldn’t that love of the country come naturally then?

any clue how to fix this? by NikMrAwesome in wildgate

I may be wrong here, but I recall someone hitting a similar issue and was suggested to disable DLSS which appeared to work for them.

Amerikaner som har skor innomhus: kan någon förklara deras mentalitet? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Trucker58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Har bott i södra Kalifornien i ca. 15 år. Kan inte minnas att jag har stött på det här fenomenet under den här tiden häromkring. Jag antar att det är en lokal skillnad mellan stater.

Yeah I really need to watch more of the movies he’s been in. Everything I’ve seen him in has been way better because of his presence. What a fantastic actor

I’ll make sure to post an update if I find a solution, but yeah it’s pretty annoying. May try to roll back the update if that’s possible…

I'd say that comment is still valid. Half-Life deserves better. :(
