Lol no I wish!
I swear to god we just had all our leases expire and chose to renew ALL OF THEMMMM.
In fact, for the main office we’ve just signed a new multi-year lease in a new building. It’s smaller tho. Renovations currently in progress.
But no raises. Times are too tough.
Ugh I really want to out the company I work at. Of all companies we should be going and advocating for remote.
But we aren’t. ‘Because being with each is SO valuable’.
Some actual low-res examples:
Political or not a non-profit is a non-profit. Unity defines charity some new way I guess.
A little less than the last big one I went to, but not bad. Several thousand people for sure. Critical mass during the walk. The large majority of people bail during the end speeches.
I went to one on Friday (not NY) AMA
Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)
I made the argument that it’s expensive but it was more based on the idea that I can get a cheapo used console with a few games and that’ll do me for a whole generation. That and I think that PC gaming has a deeper void to get sucked into (mainly keyboards and monitors)
But now a couple weeks later and I realize that I really enjoy my crappy business desktop PC and I could see building a PC in the future.
They each have their advantages. When I go to a friends house we play console. At home I’d rather play PC, if I had the choice.
It’s more that the US is all about personal liberty and personal freedoms. Other places that you’re referring to have a charter of rights, which still allow for personal freedoms but are also constructed to protect minorities or at risk groups, like Jewish people.
That said the Bill of Rights that the Americans produced was first of it’s kind and amazing. Personally I just don’t think they got it quite right and charter of rights take into account the personal liberties of all people and not just the dominant majority.
It was built for rich republicans and now it’s home to their base.
Since I read that this isn’t an existential threat I’m feeling much more at ease, much less open to catastrophic outcomes and the narrative that we should throw our hands in the air and give up.
Not at all. That’s how it works. More climate change, more random weather events. Or if you like things simple “it rained because of climate change”.
I guess I had considered propaganda to emanate from dishonest sources and took my cooky professor quoting legit sources as not being part of that group, but even facts can be misrepresented. I don’t think the intention of my comments were to elevate coal or any other dirty energy source.
The point of those studies wasn’t to disrupt development of renewables but to prompt engineers and planners to design systems which limit the harmful effects observed in the first generation of windmills. They are good things to review and know about.
It’s hard to bring up complex topics on the internet because we can’t all be experts at everything and it’s easier to lump people into for/against camps. That’s not at all where I’m coming from, but that’s how I’ve been assigned by mentioning “the other side” of a complex topic.
Did this game focus on anything in particular and do that well? Exploring isn’t it.
I’m tired of being negative gamer. This game looks fun even if it isn’t mind blowing, but seeing as I’ve never played a Bethesda game I think I’m just as likely to play one of the older games because they look about as good.
I’m fairly certain there is a documentary or at least a youtube video about this guy because he’s not really what you think. Still nuts.

I keep making the mistake of commenting on things that I have no desire to dig into. Apologies if I was rude. It really is an interesting area if you find yourself curious about it one day.
Oh dude you’re missing out.
Join .today or something, then use a tool to copy your subscriptions from ediblefriend@world to the new instance. You don’t get to see the Local feed from world, but All and Subscribed are the same. That’s it.
I’d say .world has been the most reddit-like for me. Overall it’s still good here but I’m also looking forward to it simmering down for a while.
I haven’t actually noticed hexbear at all and I’m on an instance that isn’t defed
It just happened and was in the news so shouldn’t be hard to find if you have the nagging curiousities
(Also no to ownership. All the offices are leased.)
