I feel like a simple site with RSS, or a web forum if you really need interactivity, were all pretty much hammered out 20+ years ago.

I should listen to more of them. I only really knew “ready for the floor”

Depends on where are you specifically in the city.

I believe on-street parking is usually packed because there’s a lot of people and cars take up a lot of space. Like, you have an apartment building that’s long enough to have five parking spaces in front of it. Cool, but 200 people live in that building. That’s part of why car focused culture is trash: it doesn’t scale well at all. Cities can’t and shouldn’t do sprawl where every person has their own parking spot. We shouldn’t be building massive parking decks that could be used to house people instead.

A couple friends of mine here have cars, and they’ll leave it parked on the street for days because they don’t need it. If it wasn’t for the “you need to move your car for street cleaning”, it might stay there for even longer. For most things here it’s easier to walk or take transit.

Ew. Maybe if you don’t have sidewalks or anything interesting along the way. Car culture makes boring unsafe spaces.

Maybe people in NYC are just tougher and can walk 15 minutes on the regular 🤷

Depends on what part of queens. Apparently he canonically lived at 20 Ingram St, which is a 15 minute walk to the E and F subway station. There’s also a bus that’s a little closer, and connects to the L train, but I’ve never taken it. 15 minutes is a little long, but still quite doable. (Assuming google maps’ walking time is correct. I usually go faster than it says)

Hey! That we have trains at all, and they cover the majority of the city, is better than the rest of the US’ car-focused nightmare :(

You shouldn’t be allowed to do such environmentally destructive nonsense as running a “bitcoin mine”.

LinkedIn is so blandly bad. There’s a lot of formulaic slop, but apparently it’s effective enough that people don’t stop posting it.

Also I thought all reasonable people agreed that unconscious bias is bad and we should minimize it in the job process, but then LinkedIn goes and says “Everyone have a profile picture! This definitely won’t unfairly benefit some kinds of people!”

Also people who try to use it as a dating service need to be banished from the land.

Maybe if Sliwa did some crimes, preferably with sexual assault or high finance, republicans would respect him more.

I remember people were very skeptical of steam when it was new. But then they just kept making it better without charging the customer. Cloud backups. The steam overlay. Forums (ok they suck but that’s a separate issue). Chat. Remote play.

Meanwhile, Microsoft was busy jerking off to Xbox.

This should be a climate crime and the management responsible forced to pick up trash or some other appropriate punishment

I think bg3 was partly so successful because it has the illusion of depth. It feels like you have all these mechanical choices and your character is really yours, but because of how the math works out it’s hard to make a character that’s remarkably weaker or stronger than the average. Gone are the days of 3e feat chains and prestige classes. Or wacky dual classing.

That’s always the risk with this kind of game. If you make it so players have a lot of freedom to build, some players will end up dramatically more powerful. And then the other players either hit a wall, or end up following guides. That’s not fun.

I did get to end game path of exile 2 just by picking what looked good, but most people will recommend following a guide.

Maybe you can build around it by funneling the obsessive players into Maps in poe.

One of the frustrating things with my old coworkers was they didn’t know things, and then didn’t care.

I’d mention Kent State and they’d be like “bummer” and then just go on like I’d said nothing.

I know people are emotional and they need to be coddled and fellated or they’ll just feel bad and stop listening, but that’s pathetic. These people are going to sleepwalk into death camps because reading was hard and they felt mildly uncomfortable when difficult topics came up. But they’re comfortable now with their mid six figure salary so who cares can’t we just talk about the new iPhone?

Oh like when you type “population of tenton” and it returns “Did you mean Trenton? That population is XYZ”

I always assumed they were asking if it was rigged.

Like, i can write function sum(a, b) that always returns 10, and impress people how it’s correct when I pass in 1,9 and 2,8 and 3,7. But if I pass in 7,7 it’ll still return the “right” answer of 10, because it’s rigged and not actually doing math.

I would have sworn he was a lich…

One of the interesting side effects of doing a modern day game is when your party finally kills the lich, they can’t celebrate it openly. Not like a fantasy game where you can parade back to town with the dragon’s head on display.

I like to think some rag tag group of awakened mages have been fighting Cheney for years, and they finally got him.

I think food and having belligerent neighbors might be a problem.

Then do universal basic income. Now people are free to spend a couple hours scooping ice cream without risking their safety. Assuming your basic income is enough to cover a dignified life

I mean, kind of, but the robber is the root cause. They have agency and choose to rob. If it was flood protection, yeah, can’t blame the water.

The Republicans deserve the bulk of the blame
