Tell that to Finland.

Yep, that feels exactly like Sonic 2. I’m not a fan of putting a water level as the very first level in the game, though.

Edit: when I exited the “Waterworks” often-underwater level, it gave me the option to try the “classic levels.” That started me off in a zone called “Sunshine Paradise,” which was a much better intro to the game. After I beat that zone, it took me to what was apparently an older(?) version of the Waterworks zone, which was also less underwater.

Don’t get me wrong: that first Waterworks level it defaulted to is a good level; it’s just too challenging for a first level because of the drowning mechanic.

These assholes are acting like toddlers treasonous criminals and should be treated as such.

FTFY

You sure about that? Seems to me his base is learning its history just fine, since they’re managing to speedrun Hitler’s rise to power even faster than Hitler did.

We’ve really got to quit underestimating the enemy and get serious about defending ourselves.

Exactly: we saw precisely how it would have worked during the Black Lives Matter protests the summer before:

As far as I’m concerned, that stark dichotomy is absolute proof in and of itself (let alone the pile of other evidence) that the coup was orchestrated from the very top.

There is no limit short of absolute monarchy.

I really don’t understand why more bikes – especially expensive utility bikes, like cargo e-bikes – don’t come with wheel locks.

Time for Big E-bike to start an anti-“jaydriving” propaganda campaign.

You say that as if all of Lemmy isn’t a Linux community.

Are you just posting the worst of these, or are literally all of them posted by illiterate morons who exclusively write run-on sentences?

I’ve got to assume most of those are things like single cars falling off the track in the switching yard or something, not major service-interrupting, cargo-damaging, or injury-causing incidents.

fusion produces a huge amount of energy.

That’s the kind of claim that’ll age like “640k ought to be enough for anyone.”

A CLA is okay if and only if the copyright is being assigned to the Free Software Foundation or a similarly reputable nonprofit.

As the saying goes, “go far enough left and you get your guns back.” It’s not leftists clutching pearls over “gun violence;” it’s privileged centrist liberals (a.k.a. MLK’s “white moderates”) doing that.

The Permian Basin Petroleum Association and the New Mexico Oil & Gas Association expressed disappointment, saying the determination flies in the face of available science and ignores longstanding state-sponsored conservation efforts across hundreds of thousands of acres and commitment of millions of dollars in both states.

Shut the fuck up, you degenerate monsters. It “flies in the face of available science” that we allow you planet-destroying criminal scum to continue operating at all!

I mean, it’s really more of an intuitive kind of thing: recycling takes more than zero energy, while refusing or reducing take less than zero.

Recycling is literally the least important thing you can do (despite still being important).

The phrase “refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle” is listed in order of importance.

Being less of an extremist about it would result in fewer animals being eaten, though.

In other words, you are killing animals via your attitude.
