I did! I feel like they must have been sold in a bundle. I was so bad at sim copter. I kinda want to get them And see how bad they are now
- Comment on Corporate astroturfing is the norm 2 days ago:
I agree with you, but look where the money is at. Google and Amazon and the rest want to take a cut of the money you give these apps and goods. It loses them money if they police these things.
That’s why strong regulation can be a good thing, keep the capitalists in check at least a tiny bit.

I loved that game back in the day.

A 5 year old repeating daddy’s swear words without knowing what it is.

I screenshotted “twerk race” too! It is so fucking weird.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I am not placing blame, just observing that News Companies still have staff and could be on the side of the Capitalists when it comes to worker rights.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I feel like meeting that to a legal level is a stretch. Minor cost of living raises that don’t need inflation don’t rise to that level in my uneducated understanding
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
News organizations have employees as well. It doesn’t surprise me that they are in on the gaslighting.

Engineer on an enablement team
- Comment on Had me for a while there 3 weeks ago:
That could probably be said about anywhere, given time, money, and willingness to reduce population.
I could probably build an underground vertical farm in the Sahara and feed myself, if I pumped in saltwater to desalinate.

I finally got rid of my laserdiscs last year. My player broke years before and all the movies I had, I had blue rays of or could get on streaming. It was hard to justify toting around 20lbs of movies I couldn’t play
- Comment on I learned so much 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, English was always a fucking pain. As an adult though I wish I remembered the parts of speech and how to structure English documents well. A huge part of my job in tech is explaining things in English text.

I love that there are 2 packs of guitar strings. It is a good brand, but it’s only like $10.

What others said, as long as the merchants can access it, it is fine. Merchants can’t use stairs afaik so either outside or dig ramps.

Df is really hard to get the hang of. Keep at it and let the “fun” commence!
Don’t forget to build your trade depot!

They are groups of 5 or so individuals flying in wedge formation o suppose. I am second guessing myself now but I think the 3rd call sound down for the fish crow might be it!
I think that tracks, they do look like crows and I am surrounded by crows. They just never make that noise when they are perched.Thank you so much! I have been here almost a year and try to figure it out ever few months!
Gonna sit on my patio some night it isn’t raining and comapre it! - Comment on A moment can be fleeting 5 weeks ago:
I am on US, Louisiana Gulf region. The birds are always flying in formation when I hear it. They seem all black and their wing tips seem to be a little jagged/spiked, not sure how to describe it
- Comment on A moment can be fleeting 5 weeks ago:
There is something that looks like a crow but screeches like a gull and merlin hasn’t been able to figure it out 😭

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
This is different though. If my rent is $2000 a month now, and I get $1000 a month from the government, the landlord can make my rent $3000 a month on renewal. Yes the money is going into the economy but it is enriching the upper class instead of helping the folks that need it.

- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 2 months ago:
Back when I was a kid in the early 2000s we still had the mentality that it was easy to get a good job and buy a house and love by yourself. So when a young adult didn’t, the stigma was that they were too lazy to get a great job handed to them.
Since at least the 2008 recession that really hasn’t been the case, but the culture hasn’t caught up, or was slower to catch up.

Uh, what does that even mean? I thought Xbox was going just fine, making them money.
