What an incredibly self-centered and damaging thing to say.
These policies may not be helping you right now. But they are helping millions. And they aren’t making future change harder to enact than before. On the contrary, it sets the status quo a little bit more positive, making future improvements look like less of a drastic change.
Don’t EVER bash progress. Bash inaction and bash negative side effects.
Inflation has affected our country very differently in different locales. Change in cost of living is the real metric for what inflation is trying to quantify
Over portal? I agree. Over portal 2? Absolutely not
Inscryption and Outer Wilds have unforgettable twists that will never be the same on any future replays. Portal 2 has some of the funniest dialogue ever.
Mario 3, Mario World, and Breath of the Wild all were revolutionary games, but offer nothing that wouldn’t be just as cool on a second playthrough.
Further, the existence of Mario Maker and Tears of the Kingdom would make a blind playthrough of older games underwhelming, unless you were willing to erase your memory of all games since the release of the target game.
Let’s not forget djinni, who are magic through being cursed to have powers. Like Ice King from Adventure Time
The Bene Gesserit would like to have a word with you…
You’re thinking small. Imagine being able to play outer wilds for the first time whenever you want. Or portal 2. Or inscryption
Technically just needs a number or a special character, there’s a | between the lookaheads for numbers and special characters.
Not familiar with Russian acronyms. Why are we sending them to Super Mario Odyssey?
1 and 2 may be causing 3 and 4 but I’m no doctor and all 5 apply to me so who am I to judge
“Retarded” can’t be a slur because it can be used to describe slowed/inhibited things that aren’t people. “Retard” is a slur derived from the adjective “Retarded”. Unlike the F-slur, N-word, and all the other colorful terms hateful people use to show people that they aren’t welcome on the basis of their identity, retarded has OTHER MEANINGS, and it is so much more apt a word than “Dumb” or “Slow” in so many contexts that it’s frankly (choose your adjective here) that we should have to walk on eggshells around it.
Expressing disrespect for a person for things outside their control is cowardly and close-minded. We should censor people who try to co-opt the group they are speaking in to express their prejudice. But extending the censorship of a slur to its root word, even for innocuous contexts, is an overreach of the social policing of our language. It sets a bad example, since ANY WORD can be made to be an insult to someone if used that way, and we set a bad cultural precedent by doing this for “retarded”
I understand that there’s no council that decides what is or isn’t acceptable to say, but I really wish people would think about this with a little more nuance than just “R-word detected, speaker shall be shunned” without considering the context. The way I see it, refusal to consider context is a redirection of the same kind of prejudiced thinking that makes slurs bad. But it’s being applied to a person’s speech rather than their identity, so it’s not as bad a thing to do.
but you have to pay the full amount anyway and go through insurance because you have a deductible that needs to be met because your annual physical isn’t supposed to happen until November when you get time off around Thanksgiving but you don’t want to have to pay the full non-insured price of this and not count it to your deductible when you KNOW that you’ll have to pay the full cost of that primary care visit and your 45-year-old colonoscopy coming up and everything is terrible.
Long ago, busses traveled so closely in groups that there were mechanical linkages between each bus
I have never heard of an LCD making a high pitched noise like that, I think your monitor may be haunted
In my childhood, everyone called it a “Stussy” for some reason but this has been debunked as having anything to do with the brand Stüssy
Not an OLED, in an IPS LCD. You’re asserting that OLED is the only tech good enough (which is not true, QLED displays are also starting to get good enough to surpass OLED, they’re just more expensive), but the response time of IPS displays frequently got under 10ms as long ago as 2014, and that’s fast enough to be imperceptible by humans. Any other drawbacks of IPS compared to OLED were far worse with CRTs.
And they don’t make that annoying high-pitched shriek.
So prosecute the Republicans committing extortion and proceed with the cleanups
The spelling of some words can be very Ms. Leeding
You know we had 1080p 120hz displays 10 years ago, right?
Genocide will happen no matter how you vote. One option will lead to more genocide than the other. The rest of the options are not options under our current political system. If you do not vote for less genocide, including by not voting at all, you are voting for genocide.
