I read a few of his books and really disliked his elementary Economics understanding. He really lays it on thick towards a Libertarian utopia of selfishness.

In some places, the beatings still continue.

My roommate just bought the 3, 4, and New Vegas and asked me for the best play order to play the series in.

I just gave her the starter order of 3 then New Vegas and then to ask me if she wants to really dive into the vault afterwards.

Just 1 episode with me slightly complaining about lore during it and she bought the games. Looked beautiful, but too much 76.

Wow I was waiting and waiting for the buy my alternate world fiction series today link, but it never came.

This is the ranting of someone who has been microdosing the LSD too much and macrodosing the cochise way way way too much.

Gray really is an apt color for the Tech Libertarian Billionaires who seem to think that their winning of the lottery in life means they’re smarter or better than everyone else. They have no clue how it was all about the right time and right place.

They’re like wannabe fascists looking down at the real fascists thinking that buying the Red’s off will somehow make sense. The real fascist will trou ce them all because they already have a major foothold.

Such wishful thinking from supposed elites is just sad.

Funny how that if collapse happens, only their security guards will be enjoying those bunkers.

Plus you’re locked into Mac only ecosystem. Even if controllers get made later, you can only play what works on iPads or screen sharing with your Mac.

Hand tracking sounds cool, but how he explained it in the review it’s not as useful as the Index’s hand controller because you have to always have your hands in sight. And random movements make things happen you don’t mean to happen.

This definitely isn’t like the iPhone launch.

I agree with you. People seem to think everyone has the addictive response, when people like me have such a muted response.

I have spent the last 20 years with Chronic Nerve pain. Morphine doesn’t work with me, and I rarely feel alcohol unless it’s at poisonous levels. I tried to use Cannabis for pain management and spent almost $3K a year for two years of buying the highest potency I could find. I spent those years constantly smoking or vaping every hour to try to control the pain. I ended up damaging my blood vessels in my brain.

Even in pain management at the VA they won’t give me the medication that works and just throw massive amounts of buprenorphine at me, which does nothing.

I understand that some people have a problem, but for me I wish their voices would stop being amplified over the reality that people need access to opioid pain medication. Tylenol is not what people should have to take for major damage.

Sadly, billionaires seem to forget that their security will be enjoying their bunkers a lot longer than they will.

They won’t be on top during the post-apocalypse.

Pinkskins fits more of us, but that gets into Enterprise territory.

One of the best online Reddit stories, with forest stairs.

The only thing I seem to miss from the move to Lemmy…

What I meant was that it is starting to get simple to play games using Linux now.

I’m not a teenager anymore who enjoys getting games to work by editing settings outside of games like during the Win 3.11 and MS-DOS days.

After decades working IT jobs I don’t want to do work when I’m trying to relax. Linus will have a nearly seamless system when Win 10 reaches EOL.

Yep. Gaming is starting to work on Linux, so I will move to Linux once Microsoft cancels 10.

11 has nothing more than more telemetry and tracking going for it. Gaming is slower, so why would I upgrade for a worse experience.

I play old games still anyways. Linux is more secure than Windows 11 anyways. I won’t upgrade to 11, and turned off TPM in BIOS so 11 won’t automatically install.

Lizardfolk Artificer… that will be odd.

My idea is a stationary High altitude blimps that collect CO2 and break it into pure Carbon. As the carbon collects, the weight lowers the blimp, then the pure Carbon is collected to be used in industrial processes, with the O2 going into the air.

It’s like a high-altitute tree, that uses the sun to break down CO2, giving us the carbon to make into Nanotubes to build better batteries.

Yep. As crappy as a policy it was, Manifest Destiny really helped keep the US secure. I personally think we can afford Healthcare and Arms production, but being a country that helps other countries fight to preserve their autonomy feels pretty good.

Better than spending 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan to just end up with everything back to how it was before.

We are finally going back to putting into practice FDR’s vision of being the Arsenal of Democracy.

The lifetime access was such a good investment. I missed a lot of other lifetime subscriptions, and am glad I get such great download speed.

I like that movie.

Or maybe it’s just Guy Pearce and Mark Addy are always excellent.

All this is going to do is waste money on lawsuits that could be used to benefit the people.

When in reality this won’t do anything to slow down crime in Albuquerque. The most murders done in Albuquerque is by the police. Targeting legal gun owners won’t stop criminals from carrying firearms. Weaponizing the health system to deny constitutional rights really worked out well in the past.

I’m so glad I moved in 2020 from a city/county that is fine with police burning kids alive in their homes because they think a criminal is inside.

Exactly my point. It’s a good system that they’ve been using for decades. It’s comforting to see that everything has stayed the same on the inside.
