Reading the comments and I remain that wireless charging is for people who:
-Are incapable or organizing 1 (one) wire
-Break their charging ports (somehow? I mistreat all my phones and never have I broken a charging port)
-Can't use their own brains to make a designated "phone-goes-here" spot
Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success
You are expecting the shitheads to be visibly shitty but the successful shitheads get to where they are by being shitty in ways you have to think to catch. They bank on the idea that they can trick you into getting shit on and liking it.
The solution to that is to think, instead of "I dont know"ing
hey look a fun history lesson!
Or maybe worse, a dude who might be capable of an election-losing fumble between primaries and election season.
Dude's already poorly managed several PR crises (we wouldn't still be talking about him otherwise,) what reason do we have to believe his performance improves?
I refuse to shop at my local walmart because of this. Beeping security gates at entrances/exits (that no one pays attention to anyways lmfao) locked up products, employee at the door to harass anyone who looks too poor.
Scrapped their old (bad) self check and have maybe 2 registers open at any time
stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.
this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

Then folks tire of simple objectives, so more complexities get added. We end up with multi-phase objectives and character classes and games where it gets more and more difficult for a casual player to even tell which team is winning. Then everyone wants TDM again
I have done a LOT of gaming across decades and the lesson I have learned is: What you're describing is one part of a cycle. There's no TDM games and everything is high design so people yearn for TDM. They also historically tire of TDM really quickly. Then comes the age of simple objectives i.e. CTF
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
I am not sure I can put into words how much the past twenty four months has radicalized me against democrats
and I said "Wow." That's what I said. I didn't eat til 5pm, and now I'm hangry? Wow. Really? Okay, I fucking guess. Just.... Wow.
You'd think these would be the posts I make on the painkillers but they're actually the ones I make when I'm off the painkillers and gone delirious from the pain!
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
In this essay I present a measured case for metroidvanias and collectothons being the same genre but different subgenre in the same way that housecats belong to the same genus as the cheetah
Very few in the moment saw free lootboxes paving the way toward the gacha ecosystem and surely there were other ways for a game to do free unlocks? Surely there are ways to make a cozy game that isn't a cottage on a farm planting crops and finding a husband?
I think it is once again worth noting that when games in a group start to move toward reducing friction in favor of optimizing for feelgood chemicals, someone is trying to grift you.
Nothing wrong with a cozy game as a concept but when they're all becoming tradwife sims you gotta think /tinfoil
This is amazing.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
Reading reviews and complaints about the Marathob test has left me with one takeaway: if you're here for nonstop tense PvP combat, consider a game in a genre that doesn't water down and ration out PvP content by design.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
