Oh yeah they’re still doing their best to infringe on gay rights.
The fortunate part is all those stunts against gay rights that DeSantis pulled didn’t work out too well for him at the national level since he already dropped out of the presidential running.

Edit: from XKCD
Doom Animal Crossing was another good one
There’s always a boogeyman to distract from the actual grift.
I think that’s literally it. Attacking gay rights is a losing battle so now they’ve moved onto a new minority group to target.
Sure you can alter circumstances to an extent and that’s probably the best way to live life. But all the good in the world doesn’t stop a freak car crash killing you or being struck by lightning. And while being struck by lightning is used synonymously with an act of god, I don’t think it actually means you deserved it. That’s the issue with the just-cause fallacy. It takes a huge spoonful of selection bias to only notice the people who did deserve it.
In my opinion the idea of karma is a convenient crowd control mechanism to prevent people from taking action to fix their situation when they have faith that the universe will magically balance itself out.
I agree that Steam should regulate early access more. The best buyer’s policy in my opinion is to only buy games you know you’ll enjoy in their current state. Any future features are a bonus.
I had great success that way with Dave the Diver, Subnautica, and Satisfactory.
I’ve avoided buying Kerbal Space Program 2 despite 400 hrs on the original because it still feels like a cash grab with not enough content yet.

I love the mental image of someone looking you dead in the eye as they hand you a gift that says “Need a gift idea?”
Good call on the sodium citrate, now I want to try that.
I don’t think some millionaire earned a 2x chance to kill a pedestrian by being able to pay. I’m not a fan of fees that only apply rules to poor people.
But outright bans are harder to get passed, so fees are better than nothing.
It’s not really clear whether the variance scales linearly with weight. We only know 1 data point. It could be bracketed for different weight groups.

It’s pretty suspicious that going up 2 floors in an apartment building takes as long as going up 10 floors in an office building.
Oh yeah definitely still the photographer’s fault.
I just wanted to point out their strange implication that sunny days wouldn’t produce shadows. It’s pretty difficult to take good portraits at peak sunlight.
shadows were really bad on the beautiful, clear, sunny day
That part’s accurate even though they’re acting like it’s unreasonable. Direct sunlight creates much worse shadows than an overcast day with diffused lighting.
How would this make them think twice? There weren’t any consequences for them for unlawful arrest and they still got to inconvenience protesters.
The “expectations” aspect became especially apparent when Tesla was valued higher than the next top 10 auto manufacturers combined.
It was literally that Tesla is new shit that we can bet on. It has nothing to do with Tesla’s actual value.
It’s also the issue with buying stocks based on a company’s performance. If you do that, you’re already too late because investors with more information have already bought based on a prediction of that performance (or insider information).
It’s not about being boring. It’s about calling out lazy journalism and this news trend of pretending like anything is changing while no progress actually happens.
This entire article is just saying they got mad and everyone still voted along party lines. That’s a whole lot of nothing for such a sensationalist title.
I’m all for calling that out every single time.
Well sure Batman can beat the trolley problem with prep time.
God damn she worded that well. I’m glad she called out their bullshit pity party.
