The problems poor people have been dealing with for decades have to wait because now, YOU have problems, and they're ever so much more important than the ability of people to function at a basic level. Please, go ahead, fucking solve fascism.
I've been playing battlebit remastered quite a bit recently and all of you have buggered off. There's often only one active server these days.
It follows from that: the person with no partners does the most procreation. If my leaving the pool leaves more for you, then so does the next person who leaves the pool, and so on until it's just you having infinite babies.
Humans didn't become effective hunters until after we started using technology. We're not evolved for hunting. We have the biology of herbivores, for crying out loud! The more meat we eat, the younger we die and the more diseases we experience. [1] [2] We're evolved for running, sweating, speaking, and eating starches.
Inducing consumption of meat, and corrupting people's scientific understanding of our natural history and biological needs, is exactly one of the goals of contemporary capital.
It pushes you to be aggressive, and people who fail to adapt and over-rely on health potions are going to feel like they are being forced to grind. I liked the tension between wanting to heal, but wanting to conserve pots, and so trying to hang on for a free heal longer than I would otherwise. That gamble was important to the game, and there has to be a penalty that players don't like for that tension to exist. I feel like whatever mechanic they used would have drawn complaints, because not liking it is a feature of the mechanic, not a bug.
It's like wanting to have a novel with no antagonists, no people you don't like.
It's the only one I know well. Isn't it also unique that you can heal yourself by doing damage? It stands to reason they'd look for a way to balance that mechanic with scarcer healing artifacts.
Sorry, I'm not sure how to interpret this as an example of how you have personally fundamentally changed your life.
Having to explain what a text editor is and what a text file is to grown-ass adults has become a recurring waking nightmare. Trying to explain the difference between a Word document and a text file? Fucking FORGET it.
soldering was an expected norm of PC building
There has never been an IBM PC-compatible that expected soldering of its user in order to function. Maybe if you wanted to upgrade the RAM on your motherboard prior to inline memory modules, but that's hardly an end-user task, you'd take it to a technician to do that.
Animal ag is a method of refining surplus safe, healthy, sustainable plant products into addictive, harmful, cruel, and violent luxury goods. It adds nothing, it only takes away and creates scarcity.
Amylase is a human superpower. Along with a small number of other mammals, we are uniquely evolved to consume starches. It's ridiculous to see our shrinking gut and enhanced carbohydrate processing abilities and conclude that we must owe our brain to eating meat.
Yes, and Microsoft exploited that to the detriment of not only their users, but to all computing. Saying you got in in the 90s is just admitting that you've stayed with an abuser for 30 years.
you first need to fundamentally change how you live your life
Not sure what you mean, would you provide some examples of how you have fundamentally changed your life?
Heartbreaking. What happened?? Randy was one of my "safe" sources of entertainment, where I knew I would not be confronted with vystopia.
He's 101 years old, a WW2 veteran, and a fascinating interview.

The Agenda: Is Monopoly Power Undermining the Canadian Food System?
19 Nov 2024
A new report from the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project argues Canada's food system is being undermined by monopoly. And while grocery stores have become an easy target for consumer anger over the cost of food, this report says consolidation has occurred at all levels of the supply chain. The Agenda looks at the implications of the report.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he plans to remove bike lanes from three Toronto streets, whatever the data submitted by city officials.

That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base. > > > > There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667
The article asks the question, why does the perception exist that bike lanes cause congestion? I think it's absurd that it does not even mention the culture war and toxic masculinity, which cast cyclists as effete, virtue signalling, holier-than-thou, radical leftists, who culture warriors feel it is their duty as a Real Man to harass, discourage, and endanger.
