Let her go, ref

Holy shit. So this is how the rich get their kicks. But also this story is definitely the type of story someone's gonna make into a movie in the next 10-20 years

They could definitely redo this show with a modern angle focusing on the real villain causing pollution: capitalist interests. Too often the bad guys in captain planet were actual monsters trying to pollute because "blah blah we're evil".

Slight correction, he wasn't assassinated by most of the senate. There were about 60 conspirators out of 200-300, and only a dozen or so actually participated in the assassination (and only 5 actually confirmed to have stabbed him while still alive). Regardless, it's still true that they came to that conclusion after Caesar was declared dictator for life and started taking away senate power

I finished Chants of Sennaar a couple nights ago, it was a lot of fun. Language-based puzzle game inspired by the Tower of Babel. It's very pretty to look at, and a lot of the puzzles were really clever. My only real complaint is that I was really expecting the final level to be much more difficult, requiring me to do a lot of synthesizing of ideas from previous levels, but instead the final puzzles were pretty easy and linear. I'd still recommend it though, the first 80% of the game is great, and if you get that far, you'll probably have the momentum to finish, the end doesn't take that long.

Also a fan of Unbound! My last run I tried whatever setting it is that makes it so that all fully evolved pokemon have the same stat totals, which really made the game feel different and like I actually had options for building a team. Although I still found myself thinking "oh I can't put butterfree on my team, it's too weak"

My favorite hack is Gaia, it doesn't have as many features as Unbound but it's got the right vibes for a pokemon game while still having increased difficulty and QOL stuff.

I disable notifications for everything I can, but some need to stay enabled. My line of work means I need to leave email notifications on, for example. Texts and other messaging apps are on too, because otherwise I'll go days without talking to people. My blue light filter app also has a spot of the notification bar, so that I can always turn it off and on when I want to.

Let him cook

I think he cares a lot about things that don't matter. Despite all that orange makeup he still manages to get red in the face on a regular basis.

They still talk about Hillary calling Trump's supporters "deplorables", but when Trump not only calls liberals/leftists "vermin" but implies that they will be in some way discriminated against, maybe even genocided, it barely makes the news.

I don't think so, the state leans red in everything else. In this same election, every other statewide election (including secretary of state and attorney general) went to the republican candidate by a ratio of like 60-40. I think Beshear's just popular.

As a Kentuckian, I'm very (pleasantly) surprised by this result. Sure, we've historically preferred a democratic governor, but I thought in the post Trump era that wouldn't matter. I was sure that the only reason Beshear beat Bevin in 2019 was because of all the shit Bevin pulled with teacher's pensions. Anyways, exciting stuff!

Some creators do get support from patreon, but most of those creators are on other platforms. I'm betting that this move pushes those creators out to focus on their other platforms, which will lead to a drastic drop in quality content.

Kentucky currently has a democratic governor, Andy Beshear, elected in 2019 after the previous governor Matt Bevin tried to screw over teachers, pissing off pretty much everyone. And he still almost won. Beshear has obviously been limited in what he can do in a very republican state, but he's been holding off a lot of the more extreme legislature that the state government's been trying to push. I expect Kentucky to get a lot worse after tomorrow, but that won't stop me from voting.

There was a big issue at the beginning of the school year in August, where a bunch of kids didn't make it home until like 8 or 9pm. They had to delay the start of school because there weren't enough drivers. I'm assuming conditions haven't gotten much better since then.

Probably 85 as of last night, 143 is the number as of this morning

Not when you could be also using that vpn to communicate with people without them knowing

Google Fiber was planned to install in my city, but their only way of delivering service to most neighborhoods was by digging into the roads to lay cables and then covering it up with rubber. Well, they did a terrible job with the roads, tons of damage and potholes, and then they "cancelled" Fiber, so it was all for nothing. You can't even get Fiber in my city now, even though the uncancelled it.

Copper gold and silver too

Hell yeah, happy to see some other MBMBAM fans on lemmy
