So not really the flights themselves, just the regulation overseeing the flights.

Unalive is a s##tty replacement for the word shit.
- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 1 week ago:
All that disenfranchisement and it only dropped 6%?
Active disenfranchisement is definitely a factor, and something that needs to be addressed… but it’s hardly the biggest factor in why people aren’t voting.

The majority of Americans who bothered to show up want this. A plurality decided they didn’t care either way and decided they’d rather just stay home.

That gives me anxiety, it’s too elaborate.

That’s… what satire is.

I now want a version of the barbershop movies cast entirely with dinosaurs.
- Comment on Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s explanation for socializing with Jeffrey Epstein 2 weeks ago:
Well if the people responsible for adjudicating such crimes are too chickenshit, there’s not really any reason for them not to wear their shame on their lapels.
Especially when it seems to galvanize their base, rather than repel it.

I doubt it was phonebanking that did it, that was just the ground level cover. Guarantee they made a direct financial threat against shareholders.

Nah, pretty sure the policy got implemented in the first place because the deep pockets of the ideological lobbyist group.
- Comment on Now that I've got my conclusion, it's time to go look for evidence that only supports said conclusion! 3 weeks ago:
You test it, yes, but you have to be willing to be wrong. Just looking for everything that proves you’re right is not scientific.

Is that an oddly historically accurate sequel to Age of Conan: Age of Lincoln?

So… we shouldn’t learn about things because the internet in the US sucks?

Entirely probably that students put it up and faculty doesn’t give enough to keep taking it down.

But they said they wouldn’t!
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 5 weeks ago:
It was very much not an action oriented game. It was more about building resources and exploration. I can definitely see it not appealing to large swatches of the gaming population. Especially those used to the modern spate of action rpgs.

They’re literally selling faster than the original Switch, what the fuck are you smoking?

- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 5 weeks ago:
Lots of things cause harm while also doing good things. It’s a balance.
The problem is when that balance skews more one way than another.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio begs rioting fans for benefit of the doubt after leadership axed by owner Krafton: 'The team that has been working on the game day-to-day ... remains completely unchanged' 1 month ago:
Sometimes people have ideas that just don’t work out. Even if the same people make another game, unless they just make a carbon copy they’re going to try and do something different. Sometimes it doesn’t work as well as the original, but at least it’s not churning out the same thing over and over and hoping people don’t notice.
Granted, Gamefreak has basically been doing that for 25 years, so what do I know?

The point of this exercise is to say “ha-ha gotcha, I’m so clever neener neener” while everyone else rolls their eyes.

- Comment on Sweatshop 1 month ago:
I believe the temperatures within the chart are “feels like” temperatures rather than absolute temperatures. The X axis shows absolute values (what would likely show on the thermostat).
At OPs original temperature (91°F) the danger zone would be around 60-70% and higher. At OPs last updated temperature (94°F), the danger zone would be 55% or higher.

- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 month ago:
Much as I’m sure it’s a quality entertaining game, with games as popular as Minecraft… the only thing that can kill it is collapsing under its own weight.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 1 month ago:
But why? Just calling things dumb, or stupid, or idiotic without any explanation is just a grade school way of saying “I don’t like a thing”. Without seeking a way to understand, and thus overcome it, it’s always just going to be “I’m smart and they’re dumb”, which is often the argument of those you’d criticize of “inherent stupidity”.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 1 month ago:
I would say the opposite. At least for the basis of this train of thought. That maliciousness makes one single-minded in their ideals and goals, which inevitably devolves into “Get mine, fuck them”. Which is inherently destructive, both for the person in question and those around them.
