I didn’t watch The Game Awards myself, I mostly just know what I’ve heard about it being more of an industry advertising event rather than a real awards ceremony. And from what I’ve seen of this year’s they aired an obvious AI art trailer and they snubbed ZZZ for the music category, so they’re just reinforcing my lack of respect for them.

He probably likes how the US is similar to the Roman Empire in being imperialist.

It’s hard to tell which of my memory issues are from ADHD and which are from other neurodivergences.

One of my friends had this take on it:

Die Hard can’t be a Christmas movie because Die Hard is actually good.

I’m autistic as well, although I was not diagnosed with it as a kid (they only diagnosed me with a “learning disability” rather than the complicated soup of neurodivergences I have).

I’ve been lucky to not have to mask much in my life (although I do some, for sure). It’s a tragedy that most autistic kids are treated worse than I was. I think they all deserve better.

I’m all in favor of shitting on UHC, but ABA for autism is rather problematic, so they’re actually on the same page as the autism community on this one.

EDIT: For those unfamiliar with it, it’s basically the autism equivalent of gay conversion therapy, trying to convert autistic children to neurotypical behavior. It’s not good for the autistic person’s own mental health.

Easy. High taxes on the rich and spend that money to give good universal social programs, and also avert climate catastrophe. The tiny fraction of rich people will disapprove but screw them anyways.

The hard part is getting the political will to do the obvious right thing when politics is controlled by the rich.

NZXT Flex customers have never experienced a pre-tax subscription price increase and will never experience one unless they decide to switch subscription tiers.

I think they’re forgetting the part where GN themselves were a NZXT flex customer who experienced subscription price increases. So this statement is already proven to be false before they even said it.

I think the major issue with that idea is that the pain of a government shutdown is not equally felt by Republicans and Democrats. Republicans actively want to disrupt or destroy a lot of the government functions anyways, so they don’t really care when all of those things are temporarily shut down. If anything, it gives them what they want.

“Lethal Aid” honestly sounds worse than weapons to me. XD

A lot of what it said resonated with my experience or my observations of my girlfriend (We are both aphants). Although aphants are definitely not immune to PTSD. Maybe resistant, but I know for sure that aphants can experience it.

His surname was Balashnikov before it was changed to Galil to sound more Hebrew.

I strongly prefer with human ears. It looks wrong if you can see the ear-less sides of their head and just hiding it with hair is the coward’s way out.

Plus 4 ears is cute.

Crazy how the people who believe the government planned the pandemic are also on the side of the guy who ran the government at the time.

Wake me up when they add Mk23 to it lol.

Well, there’s a few aspects of it. If they push it, it could make my experience worse (This tends to happen with any service that’s pushing AI). I also consider it to be highly unethical, so it lowers my opinion of their ethics (not that it’s high to begin with) and makes me more likely to protest them on ethical grounds. After all, I’m here now instead of Reddit for similar reasons.

That seems like a quick way to get me to cancel my Spotify subscription.

I would go further, especially considering the context:

Give people a survivable wage.

Regardless of whether they can work or not. People’s survival should not be contingent on working. Give people what they need to survive as a baseline, and then if they want to work for more, they can negotiate for employment on equal terms.

The back of the tank’s main body has some vents that are weak points autocannon can destroy. Although sometimes when you do that the turret survives the death of the main body and still keeps shooting. As far as I know the barrager turret itself has no weak points, so it takes anti-tank damage to kill it. They should fix both of those things IMO (the turret surviving the body’s death and having no weak points).

The real question is, are they fixing the faulty proximity sensor? I’m definitely never buying a pixel again until they take care of that.

Not to mention that I’m not buying any with a selfie cam marring the screen shape, but that criticism applies to almost all phones.
