I spotted the art style, and to be fair, those are indeed naked animals.

Nsfw aside, they do get progressive even if said characters are having sex or being tortured or something. Lol

Ooooh, I did get it working on deck before but yeah, looked kinda janky. That’s exciting news, although I’m still 50-50 on wanting to play with controller controls.

I’m not sure where you’re referencing but it’s not price gouging, it’s a lack of subsidies in most nations. For instance, US government used to pay the vast majority of college costs (at least for public colleges, which are the majority). That responsibility was handed over to private interests as loans.

It’s the cost. College is almost always worth it even if you don’t use the degree because education itself is always worth it (with the exception being scam colleges). It improves critical thinking, puts you in contact to people different from you, often gives more global perspective, etc.

But is it worth the current price? To the individual, probably not. It’s worth it to the society that educates the person, that’s why we used to subsidize education heavily and not rely on loans. Given the net gain to society, it should be free like k-12, although we don’t fund that enough either. It’s almost like universal education and capitalism are incompatable, eh?

Like 98% of people had no idea (guessing), which I think is why a big % are not sure how to mourn or laugh. They do recognize the Change My Mind meme and sometimes Toilet Paper USA though.

Lemmy would likely have a different % than typical though. And even then, you always will see a comment like “don’t use that meme, he’s an asshole” and a bunch of TILs.

Or the n64 cash grab game! (That I actually kinda liked)

Should play on their cognitive dissonance, but that assumes they have enough conscious thought to hold two pieces of conflicting thoughts at the same time.

Oh, this was on the news here. Apparently it’s an interesting bedfellows case where parties don’t matter so much at location. Not even city vs rural, but more complex than that.

So. Cal is generally on the side against this bill, although aside from NIMBYS, I’m not really sure why. We need it more than anyone else, frankly.

Oh so many things, from savory hotdogs in a fresh bun, curry bread, melon bread, cream filled puff balls, honey crisp Texas toast, you name it. It’s a little pricey in the US but when I stayed in Japan, there was a tiny hole in the wall right next door that sold them for 150 yen a piece. It sustained us the whole month, every morning.

I mean, sure, like a year ago but at this point I also don’t trust what the government and mainstream media say.

While the FCC is being weaponized by MAGA, I can’t imagine any show or news outlet is safe. Not just because of POTUS being a snowflake but because they want to rewrite history and change the narrative.

I’m hopeful that with the genie out of the bottle, this can be reversed with a vengeance. Sanity needs to hold out long enough for these people to be out of power, though, and I’m not certain it will without people fighting back on a united front.

Oh! Sorry, yes. Well, status, but probably interchangable.

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.

In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

Don’t give imperial units any ideas!

My thinking, LAMF is mostly for people who brought it on yourself. Nevada voters are a pretty mixed bag, though not as much in the city.

Having spent time in the international district of LV, though, they’re lovely people mostly trying to get by. They all cater to The Strip but it’s a regular ol’ city just like the rest of them.

The Fuentes part has been floated around cause of the memes in the bullet casings. I wouldn’t call Tyler left leaning, but possibly questioning his right wing roots. There is evidence he’s unaffiliated by party, though, which should be unsurprising given his age. Its easy to look that up, though I’m not op.

Ops overall point does stand, though, as Tyler is raised in right wing gun culture even if his motive is unclear at this time.

And even then… an economics professor I had once suggested minorities are in lower SES because of genetics. Very much not a good, or accurate take. This was in 2010s.

Hm… so, I’ve seen conservative faculty before, and no, it’s not great because you get some pretty wild takes. It’s especially true of culturally conservative types (but less so of fiscal conservatives, they usually just have weirdly biased and racist takes).

First, consider the type of ideology – if you get past the anti-science types that reject all evidence, conservatives who try to listen to evidence do some pretty wild mental gymnastics to maintain contradictions between science and religion. E.g. I knew a women who believed in Noah’s ark but also was in psychology. To her, it was a bottleneck in human genetics, but like, c’mon. Bottlenecks are usually a few hundred, not a single family, lol.

This isn’t so bad in some fields, but in social sciences it really falls apart because philosophically, you’re talking about determinism and the concept of God’s given free will, personal responsibility, etc, which gets challenged when your science is literally saying these behaviors are a result of environmental and genetic reasons. Sociology, criminology, psychology, all these make no sense at the core when you apply conservative ideology.

Listen, as someone who fell in love with a trans woman decades ago (my ex), it’s more plausible than you’d think. I didn’t go shoot up people since I wasn’t raised right wing, but love does make you do crazy things!

Darn, I was hoping for Vantacat.
