Lately I’ve really been enjoying the bazaar. Not even sure how to describe that game. You choose one of 3 heroes and then spend your turns buying items for your board to defeat your opponents in autobattler style fights. The goal is to get to 10 Wins. It’s still in closed beta but the gameplay is in already pretty polished.

From what I’ve heard scalpers bought basically the entire European stock of 5090s because they got early access to the sale from nvidia. Fun times we live in.

Reminds me of this video https://youtu.be/ITY-fJJnPNQ?si=l1pcVR_gthmWhizK

The news article is posted here a bit late. Republic day was yesterday, holocaust remembrance day is today and at least for me the doodle is already gone.

simply not a viable bill” for “fail[ing] to provide a solution to California Prop. 12.” That proposition prohibits the sale of veal, pork, and egg products by farm owners and operators who knowingly house animals “in a cruel manner.”

Waaah, waaaah, my profits. They’d end up having to pay their workers less so they don’t have to decrease their own salaries, those poor, poor CEOs. Also treat their animals marginally better but none of those people care about that…

Politicians of many countries will express their shock and outrage towards the media before turning around and signing even more arms deals with Israel.

It is. Must be a bug

Again with this bullshit.

“As it comes to, particularly the creators out there, look, our view is, a lot of them have gone from hobbyists to professionals. And it’s part of our job to make sure they can do that and they do get paid and they see the monetary rewards if they make awesome content,” Howard said.

This is such horseshit. This isn’t about “making sure that they get paid” this is about Bethesda getting a cut of those profits, nothing more nothing less. The way modding is right now is perfect, at least from a user’s perspective. You get everything for free but if you can afford it and want to then you can donate to the creator.

There’s no need for a paid system because that excludes people who can’t afford to pay for the stuff. They are already excluded from official content because everything comes as a paid dlc nowadays and now you also want to exclude them from modding?

I think this will only hurt the modding community and the only ones really profiting from this are the corporations.

That’s a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn’t actually receive it because they’re not allowed to have that but it’s a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

Volt and the green party are two different parties. The European green party has roughly the same goals as your national green party but on an European level.

As far as I can tell volt is similar to the green party but with sometimes more radical goals. I’m not sure if I’m understanding the trans European part correctly, but while (for example) the green party members always have their own countries benefit in mind volt works more focussed on European goals, strengthening the EU first and foremost.

If you usually vote green volt seems like a solid alternate choice.

Ads etched into glasses. Maybe tiny screens if that’s possible.

No, it’s not easy to navigate.

It’s a very complicated game and it’s going to take you a few hours to understand all of the mechanics but they have very good tutorials. Be prepared to read a lot of text though. A bit of a guess but I’d say learning the basics takes around 2-3 hours if you follow the tutorials.

Once you understand how everything.works it is easy to navigate though because the UI is very good.

There’s waging war and then there’s firebombing a city with little military value, murdering 25000 civilians.

Again? Hasn’t changed for me since they started doing that in November. YouTube is quite annoying to use for me these days, the site takes forever to load and only starts loading when I switch to the tab. Best thing to do is adding everything to a queue, videos load normally then for some reason. As a result I’m using YouTube less though, so not necessarily a bad thing.

I won’t trust a tech company with my most intimate secrets. Human therapists won’t get fully replaced by ai

There is still a difference between basically nothing and literally nothing. Spotify is better than pirating and CDs/vinyl/digital directly from them is better than Spotify.

You’re not hurting the companies, you’re hurting the artists. I’m not saying don’t pirate at all, especially from artists like Taylor swift. But maybe if you’re listening to a small artist, especially if they’re independent, consider buying their cd.

It’s a free account, what’d be stopping you from just creating a new one?

They’re what? Literally 1984

It is avoidable overall but it always requires an effort on my part which is the wrong way around imo.

Ultimately my stance on it is that it’s annoying but there’s only so much we can reasonably do about it. I don’t expect dB or the police to patrol train stations to make sure nobody is smoking. It’s largely avoidable and if people want to kill themselves then they’re free to do that. We have much bigger problems to focus on, like the one you mentioned: cars. (And maybe if more people used the train instead of cars there’d be more of an incentive make sure most of your customers aren’t being bothered by a minority)
