The pendulum seems to only swing to the right.

I don’t disagree, but what do we call the Republicans? thinking_face_emoji

Shitty billionaire has a shitty take. Shocker.

I love hard sci-fi/fantasy and Pacific Drive checks so many boxes for me, but between the tedious controls, and the only reward for advancing in the game is more tedium, I just couldn’t go on. Why can’t you save in the zone?? The further you get on the map, the longer each run gets. I have kids and can’t spend 3 hours at a time without being able to save in a game. It bugged me so much that I submitted a constructively worded support ticket.

It looks like they just released a big update to address some of these quality of life issues, so I’ll give it another chance, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Pacific drive. Great game for the first ten hours, torture every minute after that.

I used to pirate because I was poor back then. Now that I make a decent living I’m more than happy to pay devs for their hard work.

I watched The Shining at a friend’s house when I was like 10. First and last time I ever watched that nightmare fuel.

I owned computers before this, but I remember buying my first PC, a 286, at a flea market for $20 with a coffee can full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.

Two weeks ago I stubbed my pinky toe so hard that I was sure it was broken, whilst talking my dog out in the middle of the night. It made my entire foot swell up for days. It’s still sore today.

It’s worse than when I broke my wrist as a teenager.

As an embedded software engineer, you should never forget the Toyota “unintended acceleration” fiasco. They bent the NHTSA over by only allowing NDA’d engineers to review their software in a SKIF and never directly being able to speak about what they saw. It was millions of lines of spaghetti code scattered across dozens of processors in their cars, and it killed a ton of people.

I know Toyota is praised for their business practices, their introduction of hybrid cars, and their general good treatment of workers. But never forget their managerial practices that let the software degrade to the point that it killed people.

None.

The American “healthcare” system is fundamentally broken, and no amount of patchwork fixes will change that. We need to throw it all out and start from scratch.

Just stop paying your bills.

This should cheer you up.
