I’d take the hit with social D. I also considered propigandi and quibbled with adding rage against the machine, but they split genres a bit, although the spirit to me is raw punk.

Agreed. The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Bikini kill, the offspring, on and on.
Fuck man, I would put them both under Green day, because at least Green day stood for something with its pop punk.

Zipper merge is always the most efficient if people dont prevent merges, regardless of road conditions. It means both open lanes are used to move cars forward until the last moment when they cannot. “Move over early” means less throughput in the system, no matter “how open” one lane is at some point.
By blocking merges, you causes braking, which is what causes traffic. You framing people driving efficiently to prevent traffic as “people trying to force their way in last minute” means its you creating traffic, not them.
You’re arguing from a sense of moral suppority, I.e “I got in line early, you should have to,” not from a sense of efficently moving cars down a road.

I have it working without issue just via steam now. Deleting the game and enabling the proton experimental option in the comparability option downloaded he modern game. On start, it opened a browser tab and had me link my steam/epic accounts, and bobs your uncle.
I have heroic launcher installed for gog/epic, but its not involved with this. Its good to know there is an alternative install path possible.

Always big talk, no action. The left owns hella guns, we just dont broadcast it.
I’m not talking about civilian revolt in the above. I’m talking about a governor mobilizing the national guard, doing what’s right, and building public support by doing it.
These people are cowards who use bluster to disarm action. Theycwant you talking instead of doing. We need to stop that and start swinging.
- Comment on Gov. Sherrill Demands Access to ICE Facility as Hunger Strike Widens 3 weeks ago:
How would you know? Its never been done. 6 years ago we would have said the same about a violent ijssurection at the capitol that almost derailed the transfer of power, but instead all of those terrorists will be millionaires on our dime.
There is no way to know what would happen I’m the above case. That’s the constitutional crisis I’m recommending they force. Its entirely possible the people rally around the governor and instead push for real change, refusing to let the guard be federalized.
The only thing the feds can do them is bring the actual army in, and that broaches another constitutional crisis. Will they start an actual civil war, or will they buckle to the intense pressure of a unified people and actually relent to democracy?

Call up the national guard. Walk up with 1000 troops in a battalion loaded for bear. Demand access or else. Follow through with the “or else” if they push you.
Force the constitutional crisis. Now is the time.

Which version of proton? I can start the game and play bots, but the multiplayer is not availble for steam/epic friends. Literally no multiplayer browser loads at all.

Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.
Mostly acne stems from people making too mnay oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that then clog pours. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

She’s a hell of a signer. Her music just roars with life.
I don’t like country, but she sits in the same spot the highwaymen does in my eyes. The music pushes past taste and into legend.

Taking the commander role was a fun option in Nat selection 2 that didn’t require fast twitch reflexes.
I didn’t play much but I grabbed the hot seat once for the humans and the team of randos I was playing with were super pumped someone actually opted to play the RTS instead of the FPS. They were super supportive even as I fumbled around.

- Comment on Krafton still supporting Subnautica 2 launch despite Steam page change 2 months ago:
25 million over about 250 employees, so maybe 100k each, although not likely to be evenly split.
About in line with what happened when Minecraft sold to Microsoft. Shitty redpill notch makes 4 billion, decade long employees that made Minecraft into a succeas make 6 figures at best.

Ive biked to work for years and only had 2 bad crashes. Both involved slamming hard into pavement at speed, one had me slide into a tree. Both times I hit my shoulder/arm/hip hard and was honestly very dazed, but in neither time did I hit my head.
You can shake a bike accident off if you get lucky in how you hit the ground.

Why are successful gaming studios closing despite making hit games? This investigation reveals the $60 billion platform tax crisis destroying the gaming industry from within. When Hi-Fi Rush became a breakout hit for Tango Gameworks, Microsoft still shut down the studio sixteen months later. This isn’t an isolated tragedy, it’s the inevitable result of a 30% platform tax that’s been quietly reshaping gaming since 2007.
Every time you buy a $70 game on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or mobile platforms, $21 vanishes instantly to platform holders before developers see a penny. PayPal processes actual financial transactions for 3%, yet gaming platforms charge 10 times more just to host a download. This documentary traces the complete transformation of gaming from the premium mobile era through Epic’s lawsuit against Apple, revealing leaked court documents that show Apple’s App Store operates at a 78% profit margin while developers struggle to break even on $200 million budgets.
The math is brutal because modern AAA games need to sell 4 to 8 million copies just to survive, turning every release into a lottery where even winning tickets might not pay out. Meanwhile, Chinese developers using WeChat’s 5% fee system are thriving, proving the 30% tax was never necessary. The resistance is already working since Epic’s victory forced Apple to allow external payments, and developers switching to alternatives are seeing 14% to 16% revenue increases overnight.
This investigation uses Epic vs Apple court testimonies, Sony financial leaks, Steam internal documents, and industry insider interviews to expose how platform monopolies transformed gaming from art into extraction, and why the revolution to save gaming’s creative future is already underway. Sponsored by Xsolla, who want developers to know payment processing alternatives exist.

Its effectivly an empathy test just like voight-kampff but less obscure, so I see where you’re coming from.

Wrll, you aint gonna win them all, but sokething like the above tends to work well when people talk about how “some people” should die or go somewhere else. Bringing it back from “somebody” to “you and everyone you know” tends to shock that talk out of them.

That why a rhetorical tool that personalizes death may work.
Something like “okay, your mother is now dead. And now your wife, and auntie and even your old highschool girlfriend. You watch them all die, bewildered and distraught, but you do nothing until your son dies in front of you, choking on a resporrator, pleading in his eyes until the very end.”
“You can stop the rest of your family dying right now right now, right way. Do you still refuse?”

- Comment on ICE Arrests Beloved Fighting Game Community Member Ludovic 3 months ago:
If he came inti the US as child in 2002 and signed a “voluntary” removal order in 2005, it sure seems like ICE conned a child into giving up their rights, something they continue to do today.
People opting not to enforce that despicable act for 21 years is luadable. The fact that Trumps ICE are instead enforcing it should have been mentioned, along with a roaring condemnation of how we treat vulberable children in this country.

Similiar reason cheddar is orange. Cheesemakere used to die it to cover inconsistences in quality or rot.
At this point, cheddar is almost perfectly safe, but people expect it to be orange, so its orange.
