I didn’t see it a “Germans were nazis” joke as much as a “Every country has its crazies, Germans do now care for theirs” joke.

All of these participants had received a sample of the shock and reported that they would pay to avoid being shocked again.

From: https://news.virginia.edu/content/doing-something-better-doing-nothing-most-people-study-shows , so the chart is actually measuring the second shock.

When you minmax your masochism stat.

On that, I agree.

This will be great for the workers, but I don’t think it will necessarily fix the issues in Bethesda’s organization when it comes to game development (and it won’t make them worse either).

Given what we know from Starfield, Bethesda is really lacking when it comes to planning: they aren’t doing a good job at establishing a compact vision for the final product which also results in having issues to establish an agile workflow to get from start to finish. In the best cases, this results in ludonarrative disonance where the story isn’t really supported by the mechanics of the game (example: Fallout 4’s story incentivizes the player to hurry up and look for their son, but they assign a lot of resources into making sandbox mechanics such as those related to base building); in the worst cases, this results in teams returning the ball to each other all the time because they aren’t properly coordinated to build things in the way other teams of the studio needs them, which loses a lot of time and becomes even more glaringly obvious the larger the project is.

The silver lining is: this problem isn’t so noticeable when the designers have the template of Oblivion in their minds and they’re making Skyrim, but it was going to be completely exposed when making the jump to a new IP (and thus a new universe), with a new engine, with some large design jumps such as ceding ground to dynamically created areas; so ES6 doesn’t have to be as much of a low point as it has been Starfield, as long as they’re conservative in their design choices. I’d vastly prefer the leadership of Bethesda to be completely reorganized, which would allow them to innovate by taking well measured risks, but I don’t have much hope for that scenario.

Don’t ask what’s it like for our remains in the future.

Things suck, they insulted me personally and should be burnt in fire under the pain of a thousand screams, and if you disagree you’re going into the fire as well. Hope you appreciated the opinion of your local mentally ill individual ❤️

Maybe one day we’ll experience it

Not until you American liberals stop getting all pissy about people pointing out that Democrat politicians are terrible reformers at best and blatant hypocrites at worst. “Democrats defend universal healthcare!” And they don’t built a public healthcare system, instead sustaining the debt-based private healthcare that you all always complain about. “Democrats are forgiving college loans!” How about making public colleges competitive and granting ample public scholarships so that people don’t have to go into debt to get an education? “Republicans are outlawing abortion!” Yeah, after Democrats did nothing to enshrine it in federal law, despite the opportunities they’ve had while they controlled both the presidency and Congress.

And you cannot even lay things clearly on the table either because the moment you denounce the farce for what it is, countless shills will come out of the woodworks to shout “Why are you supporting Republicans!?”, despite me not having said at any point of this post how you should vote at all, and well intentioned fools on the side will buy that thought-terminating cliche and assume that the Democratic party must not be criticized, at the very same time they lament themselves of how far from good enough it is, that no one is reforming, and that the party doesn’t listen to them. I guess they expect good things to materialize in front of them from nothing. Good luck with that.

You can’t have truly public healthcare without public clinics and hospitals. How many public hospitals have Democrats built or bought lately?

Edit: I’ll see you all at the next thread where you’re complaining about health-related bankruptcy after you downvote me for this post. You morons deserve what you got.

We don’t even really need to check who has been defending or denouncing what if you want to see who’s committing violence, there’s an even more damning statistic.

Number of People Killed in Deadly Attacks in the Post-9/11 Era, by Ideology

• Far Right Wing: 134

• Jihadist: 107

• Ideological Misogyny/Incel Ideology: 17

• Black Separatist/Nationalist/Supremacist: 13

• Far Left Wing: 1

It should also be noted that Jihadist terror attacks have almost as many victims as far right terror attacks because the former are just more efficient, but far right terror attacks are far more common. Check the graph in the article.

The fact that the far right candidate has been under a murder attempt by another far right loon is just the cherry on top.

> Is named “assassin bug”

> Doesn’t even make it to the top 3 in the lethality list

Because openly expressing your desire for Republican leaders to die will radicalize base Republicans, which will result in them either committing more terror attacks, or for them to even start demanding a newly elected Trump to be even more far right than he’s already expected to be.

Regardless of your personal opinions, there was pretty much nothing else Bernie was going to say, other than perhaps nothing.

But the way things are now, it’s probably best if we just rip the Biden band-aid off now and do a Democrat party campaign reset. And the sooner the better. Kamala needs as much time to make up for Biden’s blunders as possible.

The real problem with Biden isn’t the blunders he has committed so far, but the blunders he’s yet going to commit.

Is it actually a little bit faster though?

It’s also a double-edged sword. The moment a domesticated species isn’t useful enough for us, its numbers (and therefore genes) will decrease dramatically. Plenty of livestock populations may be reduced to a tiny size if artificial meat production becomes cheap enough, or if it’s decided to be a necessity to fight climate change.

Those working conditions aren’t even good for companies seeking long-term growth. If you want to produce 5 years long projects that are high quality enough to storm the market, you need people who stays healthy and doesn’t get burnt, which requires consistent long-term humane conditions, or else you’re destroying whatever talent you had in your hands and will end up with a mediocre product.

Capitalism already has enough problems on a vacuum, but its current dominant version of prioritizing profits in the next quarter over literally anything else is disastrous.

At some point I’m going to assume that half of Lemmy users are solipsists.

I’m not saying “Don’t vote Democrat if their candidate is Biden”, I’m saying “there’s a fuckton of low-information voters who are unlikely to vote for a guy who clearly displays Biden’s health issues”.

It’s not “either Biden or Trump”, just have the Democrats present Kamala or Buttigieg or whoever. Polls already point as alternatives to Biden as more likely to beat Trump, and chances are that Biden keeps screwing it up during the following months.
