Coincidentally I just started playing Earthbound (Maternalbound Redux ROM hack) this month. I’m just past the monkey cave. It’s charming, simple, fun. It’s great for my dad brain as right now I’m doing a lot of parenting and my brain isn’t able to handle something more complex.
I love the humor and the adult jokes.
Hell yes to transit and alternatives to car infrastructure, but I’d also still prefer small quiet electric cars where the driver is eye level to me over a sea of grills with tinted windows and diesel engines rumbling.
I’m ok with an article, but I much prefer it when someone accompanies it with a discussion in the body or comments.
The generative AI and NFT concerns were overblown. His generative AI comment was from his other game, AI art imposter which has AI in the title. For crypto stuff, it’s likely because his company just chases trends. Say what you will about that, but to me a trend chaser is more innocuous than a grifter.
I wish this were an article/column, but it’s a brief video if you want a journalist’s perspective: https://youtu.be/mYBN5Er8qOs
Range anxiety is what pushed me to buy a Bolt over other EVs, but I do find that practically I don’t need as many kms as it offers, especially in the summer.
Opinion: 400km is overkill for city driving in warm climates. Half the battery/range would be fine for virtually all daily use. I know everyone will anecdotally state their use case on why 200km is insufficient, but that’s basically what the article is saying is part of the problem.
I love my bolt, but most other EVs are not its size. Only the i3 and the Mini come to mind.
The article doesn’t whiff on this, it lays out why it’s too expensive.
So, yes–they are too damn expensive, however a vehicle that meets our actual needs wouldn’t be, if it existed in North America.
The headline was the tip of the iceberg. What a fascinating article. Jumps from homosexuality is “unnatural” to it somehow eroding the foundations of our democracy!
Favorite unhinged quote:
Homosexual relationships are inherently unnatural… ultimately harmful and costly for everyone.
I want “ultimately harmful and costly for everyone” on a t-shirt.
I’ve had it at my job for a year and a half, it started after the Great Resignation took like half of our good staff.
The main problem is that it’s used as a scapegoat against any other improvement, e.g. hiring more folks, paying more wages, better benefits. Granted, I’d choose 4dww above a lot of those things, but it doesn’t feel nice that there’s a threat to lose it.
I did not see the last sentence of your comment coming. Caught me by surprise.
You can edit the title. Maybe

I would probably recommend “Just JavaScript” as a way to develop mental models of JS, then the TypeScript handbook to learn the core principles behind typings.
Not what you asked for, sorry, but probably where I’d start.
“Never got a straight answer” would have been perfect.
Bright Eyes released the albums “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” and “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” on the same day. They sort of answer this question where you can tell the artist was split on two different creative strands.
Inaction against intolerance is a form of action, is it not? “Bee kind” is not just a call to not be mean, it’s a call to act in kindness.
I believe the poster is probably right in that it stirs more toward fostering acceptance rather than simply ignoring hate.
It’s not compelled speech, per se—Beehaw users need to have an active role in order to make it the kind of place people want to bee.
Would love an invite. I have wanted to dip my toes into private trackers for years.
All these years and I had no idea. Sid…duh!
Watched “Beyond Non-binary” last night and found it helpful.
It doesn’t help that he talks nearly in allegory.
It’s hard to point at one thing because often what he says is indirect and implied. When you call him out on it, he says “I didn’t say that.”
Assuming you’re actually interested in his rhetorical techniques and not just a Stan trolling, the podcast “Decoding the Gurus” did a few episodes on him. In the first episode, I’d say they even came down with a positive assessment of him! But they talk about his ability to speak in pseudo-profound bullshit and how it shields him from direct criticism like you’re asking for.
