“Google is where we go to answer our questions and you just really want to feel like you can trust those answers and the company behind them. And moments like these break that trust and make you feel like Google’s supposed core value—truth—has been co-opted by politics,” Urban told The Post after posting to X about his dismay over the results.

Absolutely not. I do not expect or want Google to decide what is the truth and give me a 3 second sound byte on what the Holocaust was. How do things like this get traction??

This is my favorite stupid review from a local bookstore:

Ah gotcha. I don't know of a foss version but you can use Buzzkill or STFO to make a notification rule that turns up sound for a matching text message or something like that. I.e. send a text "ring my phone" and make a rule for it to do a sound

You can use the play sound button to make it ring

I read all the one star reviews. If they are all something akin to "my food was too colorful" or "the waitress didn't refill my water enough" then it's probably ok

This thread is so fascinating. I agree with the OP 100% and it's so strange to me to see the arguments against them.

Like, games as designed now are predatory. My kids get a game and are bombarded with shiny ways to extract more money.

OP's point on MMOs is that they provide servers and that means a monthly subscription and the only way (originally) to get stuff was to grind.

I think a second factor is a lowered expectation of immersion that comes with playing elsewhere. The author specifically says they can play in the pub waiting for friends or on the train or whatever. You're not as invested in those situations, so a game is more of a distraction than an experience.

I have been saying "Press 'Y' to be a weenie" for as long as I can remember

This worked ok. I read through the summary in under a minute.

I would say that the article I linked in another comment was definitely a better read, though.

For those like me, I'm trying this: https://gamerant.com/simcity-franchise-history-2013-new-game-when-maxis-sims/

Thoroughly interested in this. But why can't I just read it? I wish this wasn't a video.

StarCraft 2. I have too much to think about in real life so I need something that forces me to devote 100% of my attention to it. I don't particularly care if I lose so I can just queue again and again and come out with my brain reset.

Is there somewhere I can read about Biden's border policy compared to other Democrats? This is definitely something I'm totally uninformed about and I'd like to read up a bit, if you know of a good rundown.

Plenty of people have stairs in their house

Awesome! I never got around to water cooling but that was definitely the dream

Hello fellow overclocker! Got myself the 366 and managed to get it to a consistent 550, 605 with a box fan on it 😂

Well now I'm sitting in a different chair. And I don't like that chair as much. 😡

Therapy teaches you to identify and ignore these issues and urges, like a good little capitalist drone

Nope

It does nothing to address the actual underlying societal causes.

How exactly is a therapist supposed to address societal issues 😂
