Yeah, big studios are setting up to create the mediocrest game they can imagine. Taking risks might make the line not go up, and they can’t have this happening.
Ironically, this leeds to creation of absolute dogshit more often than not. - Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 20 hours ago:
It does but it does so far as someone updates indices. It’s easier with git, but someone still needs to do all of it.

The problem with that it’s not “wherever they like”, it is github 99% of the time. It is easier to fix when github enshitifies completely, but it will still require fixing

You very deliberately created a sentence rhat doesn’t tell the truth while being not incorrect.
There is nothing Biden administration did in 4 years that is even comparable to what Trump is doing, but because they also weren’t perfect and did some bad shit, you can technically say both sides bullshit as if you achieved something.
Well, I am ungenerous, by bithsidsing you actually helping the worst side, but I don’t know if that is your goal or not. - Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 4 months ago:
You need to find, pressure, back up, help and signalboost elected politicians who are willing to challenge that. Or civilians going the route of lawsuits. Or Luigy some motherfucker or two, but that’s more of a desperate option.

It’s safe when infrastructure exists, people used to snow, and everyone has winter tires.

That’s definitionally not what the word means. But you probably believe that you can predict the streaks in slot machines so I am pretty sure I’m wasting my time here

Not understanding the difference between the game of skill and the game of chance is exactly the grasp on reality that I expected from you based on this thread.

Which is why so many day traders end up going bankrupt.
Well yeah, so do most of the gamblers, but some miraculously don’t, but we don’t believe that playing rulelts is a skill now. Incidentally, moat of the people who consistently gamble but don’t go bankrupt are people who have more money than it’s possible to lose in one sitting.
Playing stonks follows exactly the same logic. - Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 months ago:

Maybe it’s iPhone thing? Usually when I see the news like “this amazing innovative feature will be finally available and will change the world”, and it’s something mundane that I was able to use for years, it means that iPhone is getting this feature finally.

If you’re disabled and on disability income, it will absolutely not cost you 800 euro. You will be put in front of the queue for the free one. That’s why I, able bodied working person with slightly above median income, had to wait. And I think it’s as fair of a system that is possible under the circumstances.
- Comment on ohh ... 5 months ago:
Yeah, that happens sometimes. But in this case the price of an operation will be drastically cheaper.
I had this situation in Germany, there was a minor operation I needed to have which was not life threatening so the one that insurance covered had a waiting period, so I decided to go pay outnof pocket and it was around 800 euro. The cheapest price I could find in US for it started at 11000 dollars. - Comment on ohh ... 5 months ago:

I don’t think there is a public health system when you are just expected to fork over half a million for an operation. Those insane healthcare prices are uniquely US phenomenon

It’s the other way around. Cities are expensive now because there is not a lot of those compared to the amount of people who would like to live in them. If you allow builders to build more walkable cities they will become more affordable

Yeah, it is indeed a good approach for Walmart. They get to crush the competition due to their size and the economy of scale, be effectively a monopoly, and convince everyone that it’s not only logical and inevitable, and the result of something normal and good.
The question is, is it good for people who aren’t Walmart shareholders? - Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
No, good public transportation will not eliminate all the misery in the people’s lives, but also it isn’t suppose to, and nothing will. Good public transportation however helps with making it the same level of misery as anywhere else, and usually even more. The particular issue of harassment isn’t an issue in a good public transportation, because there are people there, there are structures, there are authorities and systems that can help. And besides, it’s not like people just decide to harass other people the second they go into metro.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
It’s, once again, comes with infrastructure. When I moved to Germany from the country with no bike infrastructure, I only thought of a bike as an expensive stuff, but here I bought a used commuter for 40 Euro and it’s fucking great. I love it, but if it gets stolen, I would be mildly frustrated and buy another one of those for 40 Euro the next day.

People might talk about banning privately own cars, but nobody seriously talks about completely banning cars at all. Service vehicles have their place in a walkable city, and taxy and carsharing is part of that, and even the most fuck-cars people are in favour of those.
I mean, there is always someone with a weird position, but those are flat-earthers of the movement, nobody cares about those. - Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
Car-free utopia doesn’t mean, can’t mean no roads and no taxis. Taxis are actually the important part of that car-free utopia. It just means you aren’t expected to own your own car and use it as the prime source of transportation.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
The opposite of that, actually, prolonged sitting on your ass without much movement linked to all sorts of problems down there
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
You just don’t treat it as a competition, but as a relaxed stroll. Don’t care about no buses, just vibe with the flow.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
Hills only the problem if you’re not biking regularly. I’m way out of shape, but after a year on living in a country with good infrastructure hills aren’t a problem for me anymore, really. But first couple of months it was a bit brutal, for sure.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 1 year ago:
The reason you’re not afraid of being in public in any other circumstances are in public transportation is exactly, precisely because public transportation in US is shitty and stigmatized and the expectation is that only the poor are using it. This is the source of the problem, and the way to fix i is to improve it so everyone is using it, and the crowd in public transport will be the same as everywhere

It’s very weird that it works all over Europe, but for some reason it’s too expansive for America. It’s almost like it’s not an inevitable course of actions really actually.
