Placing people in positions of power based on personal loyalty over competence. This is how dictators secure their power. It also usually completely cripples the country’s ability to function at every level but the dictators don’t care about that.

Nebraska. Where Aquaman is just an ordinary dude.

It was on a downhill for a long while before Season 8. The trope of Debra seemingly constantly being on the lookout for the least appropriate person to get in a relationship with got old pretty quick. When Debra shot her boss to cover for Dexter I stopped watching the show.

Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash

This is ironically what I loved about Subnautica. The game does not hold your hand throughout. You don’t have a map, you don’t mindlessly follow waypoints, you are not being given a guided tour through the story like some ride at Disneyland. You have to learn to navigate the area yourself, memorize landmarks, and figure out what you have to do yourself with the clues around you. It is a bit of a whiplash at first when you are so used to being babysitted and guided throughout a game but I’ve found it to be the unbelievably rewarding once the “click” happens. You can absolutely miss important (and dope AF) events if you miss the timings that the game gives you. You are treated like an adult by the game. You really get the feeling of being a lone explorer, planning and going on expeditions to gather what you need whether it is resources or blueprints and it will all be you.

The risk-reward situation of exploring increasingly complex and disorienting ship fragments, slowly cutting through blocked doors with a laser while seeing your oxygen levels dwindle and hoping you can find your way back out in time were absolutely fantastic to me. The way the gameplay and the way you travel through the world entirely changes the moment you unlock the PRAWN suit, and one again with the Cyclops are absolutely amazing.

I wish this game clicked with everyone the way it did for me. It is easily my top 5 best single player experiences ever and I only wish I could forget it so I could discover everything again. But The Outer Wilds never clicked for me like that so I can understand why some people might not like it.

$100 to become a traitor to your own country?

If that’s not a cheap whore I don’t know what is.

Sounds like they’ll blend in just fine with the rest of the Russian conscripts

I’m so glad I kept my car and weathered through this shitty phase of car manufacturing.

If only there was hope for weathering through the data collection, subscription-based features and the death of sedans though…

They were born in hardship. Molded by it.

They’ll still die though.

Anything that precipitates his inevitable natural death is welcome. Even if he loses the election this asshole will divide and weaken the West as long as he draws breath.

That last one though

That’s Alan Tracy, not Scott.

He escaped! That’s what makes it spooky.

Considering that when people paid $100 for that OS they were told that it would be the “last Windows to be released”, shouldn’t there be a class action lawsuit?

It gives employers the ability to suppress votes.

Trump is the equivalent of a shitty seller on Ebay who has a ton of 1 star review from his verified buyers for never sending the product that they’ve paid for. It blows my mind that there are still people around willing to give working for this con artist a try.

They removed the star system a long time ago. They removed the down votes again a few years back.

They want their algorithm to be the only thing that decides whether you watch a video or not.

NGL, some distros will give you the anxiety that the next update will brick your OS as well

“countries must protect their borders from foreigners who want to cause trouble”

Australia: “ok, mate”

WTF is that Russian propaganda trash doing in my feed? Go back to lemmy.ml you tankie
