The older generations have almost certainly doomed humanity. We need sweeping environmental reform, a better education system, and to have something to combat rampant consumerism.

You don’t need a new car every five years. Your phone’s fine. Will festive mugs you use once a year really make your life better?

As I get older I continuously get more mad at the older generations.

That’s the thing about the Internet. You can try to spin the story however you want, but it’s never truly gone. Push too hard and you’ll end up with the Streisand effect.

Yup, but they actually built one in Vegas. It’s a joke. It’s two Tesla with drivers going about 25mph in tunnels.

Because it’s nonsense. We’re a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they’re selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.

Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don’t matter anymore.

America, fuck ya!.. Oh wait…

The right is a bunch of braindead babies led by whatever emotion their TVs and social feeds tell them to feel. Traitors to throw country and constitution. Despicable.

I still keep it installed but I’m waiting a decade more before I replay it. Hopefully I forget enough to have a similar experience

That’s not really in the spirit of the question though. The question boils down to “what game made you feel some kinda way that you’d like to replicate?” It’s entirely hypothetical. Theres too many amazing games that have been made in the last thirty years to ever finish them all. But that doesn’t take away from that moment in a game that was so new and impactful that it became seared into. I’ve had experiences so deep it literally changed how I felt about death and loss and it would be amazing to feel those feelings again.

My first thought too. Probably in my top three games, but you can only play it the best way once.

The trackers definitely aren’t all run by one dude. Files are shared/seeded by users, myself included. I’d guess less than 1% of users are paying/donating and mods are volunteers. There’s money to be made, sure. But arguing that money is going to something nefarious because it potentially could is a lame argument IMO.

What the hell are you talking about? There’s still lots of peer to peer trackers and most make their money asking users for donations or selling premium status. I’ve been using some for years and haven’t spent a dollar.

So now the AI trawls other AI slop, so it’s essentially getting inbred. So they literally need you to subscribe to their AI slop so they can get new data directly from you because we’re still nowhere near AGI.

The single biggest hurdle we have is how much the media loves Donald Trump. You could have the perfect narrative that convinces 100% of viewers to switch sides and it still wouldn’t matter if 3x as many people heard his lies. You’d still lose. The right owns the media at this point and there’s basically no way you’re reaching half of the goobers Trump is. I’d bet most Americans couldn’t even name their reps.

Not suggesting you or anybody else does so, but… If I were running a counter op, the first thing I’d do was bring down right wing media centers by targeting their transmitters. Splinter their national voice. Next you’d need to hit social media sites, but that’s a different tactic where you’d essentially need a bot army to make them unusable by dumping massive amounts of AI slop nonsense (they’re halfway there themselves TBH). You’d still have an uphill battle convincing the cult to switch, but at least you’d stand a chance.

We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We’re here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK’s I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There’s lots of room for improvement.

So what though? If it gets to the point of having to violently overview the government, we’re past the point of precedent. We can just use their beloved AI to scrub social media profiles and purge them from the voting registry. Sure they’ll believe that was the plan all along, but we’d have a few decades where the scales were tipped so far in our favor that their children and grandchildren could be properly educated without all the revisionist bullshit.

The only time I’ve gone longer than two days was when I wasn’t seeing anybody and my good friends were out of town.

They sell a powder for moss and algae. You just spread along the peaks of your roof prior to some rain and the rain will carry it into the growth. You can use a push broom pushing with the shingles for stubborn clumps. Using a pressure washer directly on your roof can cause issues, but if you’re intending to just use the pressure to shoot a liquid solution on from the ground it shouldn’t damage it, just wear a mask.

The answer is so simple, they’re all fucking morons.

I’m making a statement about companies in general. People are just so willing to bend over and take it. In my mind people used to have more gumption, but I’m probably overestimating how much was individuals vs how the media portrayed things.

Feels like if Upton Sinclair released “the jungle” today we’d all collectively say “oh well, guess we’re eating rats and formaldehyde.”
