  I think that it depends on the person. I’ve heard of enough people who voted for Donald because they like that he “says it like it is”, or “he’s a businessman”, or because they just want lower taxes. Some people are so exposed to rage-bait social media/news content and are always being told what to be afraid of and they vote emotionally based on that fear. My grandfather votes the way he does because he’s TERRIFIED of immigrants, even legal ones - because all he does is sit and watch fox news. I think most often, people are busy with their lives, paying their bills, taking care of their kids, etc. and don’t have a lot of energy left over for politics. People treat voting like it’s team sports. A ton of people voted for Donald because they thought tariffs were paid by the other country, not American businesses. I don’t exactly blame people, it’s a lot of information and life is probably a lot more relaxed for people that don’t follow it.

  I think that there’s not just one reason we can list as why she lost. It’s complicated. The young white male demographic specifically, voted primarily Republican - which makes sense given that they’re being marketed to by republicans (think people like Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, people like that). I almost didn’t vote for her over Gaza - and I’m sure a lot of people didn’t vote over Gaza. In regards to “All Lives Matter”, I don’t think so. I never got the impression that that “movement” was really about saying “Not just black people matter!”, it was about being an opposing statement to the BLM movement. The words “Black Lives Matter” do not say that other people don’t matter - and the movement is about police violence against black people. “All Lives Matter” was made to deny the recognition that this racial violence happens. I’ve seen it used a lot to defend police (and let’s be honest it has ties to the whole “Blue Lives Matter” thing).

  I think you’ll miss out on a lot of great games thinking that way! Sometimes needing to commit time into a game is where a lot of the value comes from in its experience, and persona is one of those series.

  Amazon requires a camera system called a netradyne driveri in all vans - that’s what they’re referring to. It uses AI to monitor what you’re doing and automatically send reports when it thinks you’ve done something wrong.

  Probably depends on the delivery service partner. They have slightly different hours from company to company.

  I don’t get the wrinkles out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need fighting game advice⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot is going to vary depending on the exact game you play, strategies and game mechanics can be super different. The best way is to find a character that you really like and focus on having a good time. It’s a genre built off of learning from failure, so you’ve got to try your moves in different situations and see what works. You can practice moves against bots to find what situations they work well in, and plenty of people post combos you can learn online. Just gotta lose a lot.

  I can sense that this game is going to be another shut-down live service in two years

  Is it not universal or basic to provide enough to meet the same standard of living wherever you go? If that’s to be the case it cannot be the same everywhere.

  Any UBI system worth it’s salt wouldn’t be providing a flat amount, it should be based on regional cost of living. So if prices all went up, UBI would have to go up as well.
