complaining about reposts takes me back… It’s been years since I complained about a repost. Remember complaining about reposts on /.?

I got it about a year ago and I’ve been playing it again recently. It’s okay.

Including rider?? A twisted up rubber band could get a 70kg rider to 45 miles!

Which is still lower than the chance that you’ll commit suicide. Or just simply die from a fall…or just from catching COVID.

Assuming for the sake of discussion that this is all true, and I don’t see why it might not be…

So yeah. Pretty safe.

… this is still a non sequitur.

I’m super frustrated that for some reason, Sid Meyer’s SimGolf doesn’t run on any emulation or modern hardware. It was just a friggin windows 95 game!! I have no idea what’s so special about it.

Space-click is such a nice feature. I stopped wishing I could edit queues once I found it.

I’m playing a skirmish at 0.1 resource production, pausing constantly, and it’s STILL pretty overwhemling. But fun and slick!

WOW. I just had a vision of my potential life for the next several years.

Decisions are made on the basis of the numbers in studies, not on the basis of “it sure feels like there 27% more homeless people this year.” Accurate data are essential. It is very difficult to take a census of the homeless population. Recent efforts with new methodologies improved our view considerably, and though they still undercount, represent a meaningful step to improving the situation.

The truth is, this isn’t an accident. This is both a necessary consequence of, and a necessary precondition for, the vast wealth disparity that has been engineered into our society. We don’t change things not because we can’t, but because we don’t want to.

Regardless of whether or not we are addressing the root causes (which is not simply flipping a switch and might likely still not be successful) we still need to address the consequences, and we need more funding to do that. You have to live below the poverty line just to work in a career where you get to help people. I know many people with master’s degrees who are themselves struggling with food and housing insecurity because they have chosen to spend their lives trying to help people. And it’s not as though it’s due to an over abundance of other people competing with them in that space… Like teachers buying their own teaching supplies, social workers have to pick up a lot of slack out of their own pockets. People who want to help and are trained to help simply cannot afford to help. It’s a very bad situation.

I would really like to see the government taking on the responsibilities they shed to NGOs over the last three decades. How has this improved anything??

okay, modulo the carnist thinking, it remains pure vachauvanism. (I hope you enjoy my punmanteu.)

Sorry, where’s the part where the means of production gets seized by labourers? What does THAT look like in Punxsutawney? What are we taking, from whom, how?

Video is unwatchable. Comment responds to the idea of the headline.

I know you are hoping to make a career out of this, but the sad reality is, we all just post for lulz. I’m so sorry you have to learn your dreams are stupid like this.

That’s all well and good for him, but what are the rest of us to do??

What would that look like in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania?

The grandfather of this device was called the Twiddler.
