Ok? I don't think that changes my argument very much.

That is pretty reductive. Like, it's a sim. You could describe just about any sim the same way. "You just do this thing to do that thing". How is this any different from any other game?

I'm not saying it's the best space game, but I had fun when I played it and it definitely didn't just feel like I was mining materials just to mine more materials.

Is everything you post this uninformed?

You convince anyone to take away my wireless earbuds and I'll hunt you down.

This is not a universal truth. I am a union electrician and I make decent money but I am most certainly not set for life. It takes some significant overtime but it's not uncommon for guys to take home 6 figures.

Enjoy. One of the best games ever made.

But weirdly only if it was issued after 2005?

Lol cite a single polling place that allows voting without identification.

It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out.

You know I think a lot of us get so wrapped up in the lack of traffic on this site that we overlook this particular benefit. There are several usernames on Lemmy that I can, not only recognize, but also associate a bit of a personality with from the interactions I have seen and had on the fediverse. I think that's a pretty neat thing to experience amongst the huddled masses of the Internet in 2024.

Ok so in the larger picture this is probably exactly what he wants, but I still stand by my statement for this particular case.

Fuck I hate having to defend these assholes but if we're going to call them out on their bullshit it needs to be accurate. The quote is slightly taken out of context because he was inexplicably trying to dodge a question that wasn't presented to him.

He is IMO trying to say I want to go back to the period of time when women couldn't vote because back then people actually fought for those rights. That's a dumbass circular argument but I don't think he is actually saying he thinks women shouldn't vote.

Hang the things they actually mean to say around their neck, not stupid slips of the tongue.

All that said - fuck this guy and fuck Huffington post for their shitty articles.

Y'all are reading into that too much. We have a similar clause in Texas, which is virtually our only protection in regards to breaks. To simplify: they are saying that if the employee is eating AND working, then you have to pay them. I'm not sure how they are wording it in Kentucky but here it's along the lines of "you don't have to give the peasants a break, but if you do and it is unpaid then it is illegal to request that they work".

It sounds stupid because they are literally saying "if you don't pay them they can't be forced to work", but I'm really glad that protection is there or guarantee it would be abused even more than it likely already is.

The practical effect is everyone just gets an unpaid lunch because asking people to work 8 hours with no break is ridiculous.

It's really good for one or two then it gets to be like drinking out of a pickle jar.

Pickle beer is a thing.

Everyone on lemmy is a bot except for you.

What incentive does Google have to even put up a fight? Worse results = more time searching = more "traffic" = more ad revenue. It's not like they really have to worry about search engine competitors. Please do not try to recommend DDG to me. It is just a different flavor of garbage.

I mean, he's not telling people to not buy the game. He just said if you're strapped for cash it won't hurt to wait.

Should probably add gerrymandering to the list because that's a fucking HUGE problem.

I'm sure I'm going to get some shit for this, but here we go! I own a wyzecam that I keep in (but due to lack of necessity will soon be removing from) my daughter's room. We had it there just to check and see if she was asleep in her crib still without walking up the very creaky stairs/hall to her room.

It has pretty garbage resolution, has no sensitive information in frame, is not in a part of the house that anything can be overheard, and literally just shows a blurry image of our daughter's bed.

I guess someone could theoretically sign in and...watch a 3 year old sleep? The worst case scenario I can imagine is someone using the speaker function to scare my kid, which would suck, but I think I can risk it.

Thousands of deaths per year at the hand of police is inexcusable. "It's too hard" is a shit response to "why can't you do your job without routinely murdering people".
