  • Bounce bounce bounce

  • The trick is to bounce both legs but in opposite directions. When one is going up the other is going down, cancelling each other out.

  • What are the games you played in your youth that you still play today?

    Jump

  • I've still got my Nintendo 64, and I sometimes boot up Goldeneye for old time's sake.

  • Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'

    Jump

  • One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

    -Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, 1792

    Or, put in modern terms: There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

  • What is your personal favorite multiplayer game and what is it's fatal flaw?

    Jump

  • Left4Dead

    Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

    As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it's OK if some players are better than others because we're all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

  • It could certainly be used as evidence in your favor. Whether it by itself would be enough to exonerate you would depend on things like the evidence against you and how much weight the jury gave to your records.

  • If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies?

    Jump

  • These are known as souvenir plots. Generally, you aren't buying the land, but rather you're buying a contractual right to prevent the actual owner from developing the land.

  • US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.

    Jump

  • Californian. No.

    It wouldn't solve any problems that can't be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven't had to worry about before. It'd be a net loss for everyone involved.

  • Jobs being made obsolete by new technology is one thing.

    Artists having their works taken and profited off of without consent, attribution, or compensation is another.

  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom is floating a federal tax boycott

    Jump

  • The state government isn't involved with collecting federal taxes, so how could this be done?

  • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • UI elements that expand and cover up other UI elements when you mouse over them.

    "Flat" color schemes where you can't even tell where one UI element ends and the other begins.

    Infinite scroll instead of pagination.
