  • I really don't get the anti AC fraction

    Jump

  • I forgot how much I hated working in an office. Our desks were directly under the vent, so we'd get blasted with cold air. Sales was off in a corner, where it was too warm for them. No amount of adjusting the thermostat would change their local temperature, but they'd try anyway.

    In addition to being climate criminals who should all be stripped of their nice things, people who mandate in-office are often causing personal, physical, suffering.

  • Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’

    Jump

  • None of the fines for these things are enough. It should be, like, the company is nationalized. The leadership is sentenced to years of community service and barred from working in the industry for life.

  • MAGA Spirals After Pro-Israel Politics Loses Big-Time in NY Election

  • Everything from the right is a confession. A projection. They are stupid selfish people that struggle to understand other people.

  • Prediction vs Reality

    Jump

  • If someone is just trolling, sure. But usually I hear it when someone's like "gay people should be allowed to live" and someone else goes "you're being diViSiVe"

  • Prediction vs Reality

    Jump

  • I feel like some counters should immediately banish the speaker to sitting in the corner. "Alarmist" and "divisive" are the top two that come to mind. It's almost always idiots not engaging with the material in good faith who pop those out.

  • Military services again requiring recruits to get flu shots as Air Force outbreak grows

    Jump

  • "Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you," Hegseth said in April.

    Hegseth is a profoundly stupid person who should not be entrusted to make any decisions. He should be removed from power to spend the rest of his obscured life cleaning up litter or something similarly useful.

  • Stuck in the machine

  • If people would stop voting for conservatives we could all have better lives.

  • “Gaming is becoming unaffordable” — Xbox CEO says the industry has an accessibility crisis

    Jump

  • That's also a problem, yes. DRM free is best. I'm extremely reluctant to pay for a game I can't play offline as much as I want. (Barring MMOs and the like, I guess. Don't play a lot of those, myself)

  • All the wealth is being concentrated in the hands of too few people. I'm not going to buy a $120 game when my salary is down, or I'm just laid off.

  • As Extreme Heat Hits London, Fossil Fuel Interests and Global Far-Right Politicians Gather for a 'Glastonbury of Climate Science Deniers'

  • A bunch of monsters are all going to be at the same place at the same time, you say?

  • The traditional suburban street design of winding roads and cul-de-sacs is just as responsible for U.S. car dependency as the distances created by sprawl, according to new Yale research.

    Jump

  • I worked at a place that involved housing and maps for a while. I remember seeing one map that was a layout for a suburban housing situation. A giant cluster of single family houses along windy little paths. It looked like the bad place.

    The houses at the back would have required an extensive and winding trip just to get to a main road, and then who knows how far it is from there to anything commercial. If you live there, you're not walking anywhere.

  • Last night, New York City candidates who embraced the livable streets movement defeated those who did not 🎉🥳

    Jump

  • Great.

    I was just in another city last week that had pedestrianized some streets. It was like night and day comparing the streets for people and the next block that was cars. One was full of music, laughter, people going in and out of shops and restaurants. The other was empty save for cars whizzing by, with almost all empty shops. I should've taken a picture from the corner where you could see both, and use it as a poster for "where would you rather be?"

  • A New Study Shows that Tall Vehicle Hoods Have Caused Hundreds of Additional Deaths Each Year

    Jump

  • I believe it. But adding that barrier would mean some bad drivers wouldn't bother, and they'd get a smaller, safer, car instead.

  • 🤔 Interesting

    Jump

  • I'm just waiting for some RTO'd workers to be told they're being mass laid off, and instead they just beat the manager to death. The irony of it only being possible because they were forced back into the office will be delicious.

  • Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says new multiplayer games are failing because players have no reason to leave their friend groups, touts Unreal Engine 6’s cross-game features as a solution

    Jump

  • It's a demand pointed out the entire capitalist hellscape, of which epic is a part, not them specifically.

    Sweeney's a billionaire. He could be pushing for labor to have a bigger slice of the pie. But he won't, because he's a soulless husk.

  • I don't have the personal budget to buy a lot of games. Pay me more and I'll spend more. Otherwise, fuck all the way off

  • I'd defer to someone with more expertise, but I'd guess a lot of SUVs and trucks are going to be disqualified.

    While I'm waving this low grade magic wand, maybe require a special license for SUVs or something.

  • Just make it illegal to have unsafe vehicles. Do a buyback for the existing ones.

    Billions for war but anything actually useful is too expensive. This is the bad place.

  • They could have built steam. People would have used it for the same reason people use steam in this timeline. They should have done that like 20 years ago. It's too late now.
