Yeah, actually it makes sense. They are property and the pigs’ objective is to protect property.

Upvote for anything control❤️

My guess is upright. They often wrap their tails around themselves back to front, so along the ground so that it encircles their feet as far as it’ll go. This looks like they just let it go forward rather continuing to keep it pressed against themself. Admittedly it’s a very weird angle to see a cat and I’m not sure why the front paws aren’t on whatever surface they’re sitting on.

I kind of dove into this game with no expectations and I absolutely loved it. The nonsense of this world you’re diving into is so well done and weird in all the best ways. I loved it.

Just as Nolan intended douche sounds

I mean the US not being the good guy was the distillation of his message.

Another person spoke about his Epstein connection which has come out recently, which is a huge disappointment. All I can say is that like 15 years ago, people like him, Norm Finkelstein and Chris Hedges helped to plant me on the left. Finding out about Epstein has been difficult to understand given his work and the effect it had on me.

Yeah, I honestly don’t know what to make of that, it’s personally a real letdown as Chomsky’s power came from truth telling and moral clarity, and then he hangs out with that fucking pedo. I’m not sure what he was accused of specifically. I thought it was that he had dinners with Epstein. I hadn’t heard he advised him. That’d be next level bad.

However, I don’t think that changes his analysis. Either it’s valid or not.

Don’t know the exact context to this story because it just popped up on my feed, but it reminds me of a Chomsky interview about his book “Manufacturing concent”. The book deals with the western media and how it controls conversations by setting the overton window.

​Andrew Marr: How can you know that I’m self-censoring? How can you know that journalists are…

​Noam Chomsky: I’m not saying you’re self-censoring. I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.

Some real Hyperion Shit going on here. Anyone from the web should prolly move on…😳

No, but everyone who has been responding have been really positive. Maybe I’ll take a swing at it

Yeah fair enough. I’m not super familiar with the genre, still learning, but I’ve gotten a ton of good feedback.

Thanks for explaining it. You and the other comment bpiqued my interest. Grateful.

Interesting. I wouldn’t have pictured platformers as having this much exploration. Thanks for taking the time. I’ll have to check it out.

Can anyone explain to someone who doesn’t get it? How can a platformer be this great? I’m obviously not a player who gravitates to platformers, but I’m just curious about all this attention.

I don’t think that someone is talking about using BTC or ETH. They’re literally unusable to make purchases (multiple minute settling times and the high costs you mentioned) but any other functional L1 would work. Algorand for examply has ~3second block times with instant finality and costs a fraction of a fraction of a cent to use the network. Those fees couple be subsidised they’re so low. They’re significantly lower than a rail like Visa or MasterCard. But you’re right, implementing it so anyone can easily use and access it is key.

Edited bad autocorrect

I can’t have anything I want…ever. They’re still a right wing party except on cultural issues.

Hahahaha, lost me here. I’ll definitely take your point about California and how they’re going about universal healthcare to heart, but if you put hope in the Democrats, you will be disappointed. Fuck…the Democratic party. They would be nothing without the anti Republican vote.

They’ve found new and exciting ways to to stuff money in insurance pockets. I may be dumb, but I don’t think subsidies are a solution at all. If the Government wanted to set prices…great. if they want to run a single payer system…sploosh. all this does is obscure from people how fucking expensive their healthcare is. I get that that satisfies the need of individual healthcare consumers (sort of…40$ vs the actual monthly rates people will be paying is kind of an “oh how cute” situation), it doesn’t make the system any more sustainable.

I get this sentiment, but it’d go a long way for people who have the dreaded “range anxiety”. If they want the expense of both systems, then go for it. I have a used Chevy Volt which is a PHEV, we got it a few years ago and didn’t want to commit to full electric yet. It’s my families only car and in our case it’s been bullet proof. 95% of our driving is on electric with only family visits requiring gas. It’s not a bad system for people who aren’t convinced. Different now that it’s becomming a culture war issue though.
