Not really no. Last election they didn’t happen, the election before that they didn’t really happen as popular candidates for totally no reason whatsoever dropped out and endorsed Biden until he became the only one you were allowed to vote for, the election before that DNC super-delegates removed all choice in the primary, the election before that didn’t have a primary.

It’s been two decades since the democratic party has had a fair primary process. The median voter wasn’t allowed to vote last time anyone had any hope of a choice in who the democratic presidential candidate was.

Ignoring the wants and agency of the globe is not incompatible with ‘policing’ the globe, especially given the style of American ‘policing’ is killing random fishermen and triple tapping girls schools.

And who cares about a large chunk of your population that is apparently powerless and too pathetic to do anything to stop the war crimes the US has been committing every single day of every single year since its founding.

I’m pretty sure committing a felony isn’t something that’s allowed on a FOSS project.

Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don’t get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.

Most people on here, outside of the far-right of lemmy.world, use liberal to mean… liberals. and neoliberals. Aka most democrat and republican politicians, and the current status quo of the western world; aka the single most destructive force in world history.

How is it every single nazi turns out to be a pedophile? It’s truly magical how you can guarantee that if someone is this far right-wing, they like to fuck kids.

Are you going to memorize the carry, transport, and self-defense laws of every state on your route?

Are you going to be paying the attorney’s fees on behalf of your trucking company and your client and both of their insurance whom all will be sued by any survivors or their families when you shoot someone?

This will be controversial given the “that’s not true communism according to my 170 year old theory book” crowd that sometimes permeates western leftists like a disgusting plague; but Xi Jinping. He’s released 6 or so books, he has a literal Doctorate in Marxism, and has documented China’s success and failures in its strive towards communism, including very good answers for every single criticism western Do-Nothing marxists have towards China’s Dengist reforms and their incredible economic success.

Starfield kinda killed positive views of Bethesda. Fallout 76 shortly before that essentially eliminating most of the good will they had.

Beyond the technical failures inherent to those titles, even more so than the average Bethesda title, the writing, the story, the atmospheric story telling were all just… bad. Not a single glimmer of what made Skyrim or their previous titles great could really be found. Fallout 76 felt like the most obvious and pathetic cash grab in game release history, being practically unplayable for the first six months of its life… which for an online game is ridiculous; and Starfield legitimately felt like what a dev team that were fans of Skyrim might produce. It felt like a third-party rip off of Bethesda’s style.

Don’t get me wrong both games have their fans, and honestly the hate is overrated as both games are competent, they’re just not good. They’re just not Bethesda games.

Add onto that the fact it’s been 15 years since a significant elder scrolls title was released; because let’s face it no one remembers Blades, ESO is its own thing entirely, and I had to actually google ‘elder scrolls card game’ to remember wtf Legends was called; and you have a recipe for absolute disappointment. Most of the people that worked on Oblivion and Skyrim are gone from the company. The new batch have not made a popular game in that time besides Fallout 4, which is still viewed by half the fallout fan base as the worst fallout game despite Fallout Tactics existing.

The negative outlook is because we aren’t likely to get more of what we like. Especially given Todd Howard’s obsession with using AI. This is much more likely to be a corpse wearing the skin of a beloved franchise than anything worth playing, all for the low-low price of $80+ USD, if not $100+ USD.

Discord is awful of course, but I would try some of the more populated game development discords. If you mention it’s free and not monetized at all you’re likely to get a few dozen bites out of curiosity if nothing else. I know a few that got their first hundred players that way.

Did… did you forget to click on the link? This is lemmy, it’s similar to reddit. The giant text on the top is actually a hyperlink to a whole other website with exactly the information you’re requesting. My comment is directly based on the information in the actual article.

No, the Comedian Actor Zelensky, who has explicitly the exact same qualifications to be a world leader as Donald Trump, has not ‘prosecuted’ this war. He has been an incredible front man for this war, for the competent people that have run this war and resistance against Russia. He is an amazing actor, and has utilized those skills to well market this war to previously unsure NATO countries.

However he has no qualifications or skill to actually lead a war, and he used to admit that. Consistently firing his generals over petty disputes, at best, seems like the shortest possible path to a complete balkanization of Ukraine into its disparate regions as the people with actual power and competency in Ukraine start new rebellions (especially given democracy has been indefinitely paused so the people have had no say in any of this for years now.)

You can add any gog game to steam and run it through whatever proton compatibility layer you would like. The Heroic launcher and Lutris both also allow this.

Entirely wrong community, but drop all liquid calories, eat like a poor person (rice and beans with the cheapest veggie you can find, limited to one or two small bowls a day) and do something along the lines of the one punch man workout to increase your deficit while ensuring your body prioritizes fat loss and not muscle loss.

Fun fact, diets don’t work, changing your lifestyle does. After a month of this, if you actually keep it up, you’ll be down close to 20lbs as long as you’re heavy enough to actually have 20 lbs to lose.

Sweating your balls off in the summer almost makes you wish for a New Vegas Remaster.

The guy that essentially added lasers to Japanese movies and somehow became a multi-billionaire is a fan of stealing other’s work with minimal effort and reusing it without permission?

I’m shocked. Shocked I say.

That’s nice but this the US we’re talking about. Their building materials aren’t stone…

Silicon valley, as one might surmise from its name, is in fact a valley, not on the coast. It averages 4 degrees C in the winter. They might as well have efficient heating, especially given most offices were designed before heat pumps really proliferated in the US.

Your view is outdated, and will increasingly become entirely irrelevant as electric and hybrid vehicles continue to vastly outpace ICE production, if only because it entirely eliminates this silly elitism.
