More of an altitude issue tbh

It still does actually, tanking the resale value will dramatically cut into new car sales. Encouraging current owners to sell absolutely does have an affect.

(It also raises insurance premiums for Tesla’s, also hurting their market)

I was going to make a joke but honestly it’s refreshing and a good sign that Lemmy is starting to get used by people who don’t know what FOSS means now. Welcome.

Nono, he sees HER as people, because she’s “one of the good ones” he doesn’t see people who are basically just like her as people.

Only fresh pasta is made with eggs, dry pasta typically doesn’t use eggs. It’s semolina durum wheat and water, pushed through copper dies and then dried.

I like that this could mean multiple completely different things depending on what part of George Orwells writing it’s referring to.

Volkswagen is much less upfront about it. Lotta talk about the fun “people’s car” but not the slave labor making Nazi vehicles.

I mean, I guess I’m open if it is trying to do something controversial in actually adapting the book faithfully? Which I’m not sure would go over well or that I would like at all but at least would be making something new and relavent and dialogue provoking? The original was a pro-military pro-discipline novel written in anger at the suspending of US nuclear testing. Heinlein was frustrated at basically hippies that he saw as not really participating or taking responsibility for the country as a whole calling the shots and pulling back the US military development in the cold war. Agree or disagree and adaptation criticizing the current culture of western withdrawal from Afghanistan, the milquetoast supporting of Ukraine or other connecting issues could be a very interesting and relavent piece of modern political commentary. Again, agree or disagree with the stance, at least it’s making a movie that is worth making because it will make people think and talk about different perspectives. Just don’t fucking make a cash grab or an actual remake of the Verhoeven film (because it’s already perfect, it doesn’t need to be remade)

I mean, I definitely wasn’t implying it was an equal issue lol.

At the risk of saying the dreaded words, both sides honestly have a problem with calling anything they believe to be unjust “illegal” with no real understanding of the law. The key difference being that it’s the fucking president on this side and randoms on the internet and in town halls and in the media saying it on the other.

Yeah, turns out they just do that lol

You can say kill or murder here.

Uh, very few countries have birthright only citizenship.

I mean, it’s not like it’s any different in a lot of Canada, the polarization has gotten pretty unreal everywhere. Alaska has a lot more in common with the Yukon and Northwest Territories too than they do with southern red states.

No, stop, let us have single player games, with 100-10000 players in an MMORPG you are suddenly diluted and weak, your ability to influence the world and be heroic and become powerful is suddenly dependent on competing for time investment and skill with 100s to 1000s of other people. THATS WHAT I ALREADY DO IN REAL LIFE. If I want to feel mid and not very powerful without putting in a ton of extra work, I’ll go outside. Especially when doing that extra work would actually allow me to spend EVEN LESS TIME on myself in the real world.

TLDR: there are enough MMOs, there are DEFINITELY enough competitive multiplayer games (also PVM/P survival building games) I do not understand people’s obsessions with saying the very small number of great single player games we have ought to be MMOs. Go play ESO or whatever it is you guys like playing.

Less flash, more passionate people allowed to create. Shocker.

I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.

You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.

Instead of Kleenex I go to the bathroom, blow my nose into my hands, then wash my hands. I’ve never entirely understood the need for disposable intermediaries. Blowing my nose Kleenex or not without washing my hands afterwards seems unsanitary so why add waste?

Are those barely related facts or are you convinced a kid being just forced to learn an instrument qualifies as child abuse?
