Dems torn over transgender issue: Centrists worry that party is ‘reading the public wrong’
  • You're not wrong but how? A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on. That's the problem to reacting to all the right wing hate mongering. They have no issue with lying, cheating, whatever it takes. By the time you correct them, they're already on to the next rage baiting lie. And rage runs much hotter than calm consideration for most people.

  • Finally got my main road blueprints done!
  • This is probably my biggest pet peeve about the game. You can only finagle corners by glitching foundations into each other. Just feels horrible. There are many tutorials about in on YT.

  • Make it about me
  • Twitter normalized of extremely simplistic expression of complicated issues which leads to all kinds of kneejerk reactions. Some men misinterpret whatever complaint as being about them and turn defensive, and of course the most aggressive of those voices are amplified by social media. The inflammatory comments beget more inflammatory comments, reasonable people quickly exit the space and this is what you end up with.

    I firmly believe it's social media that's to blame.

  • Israeli soldier loses it at Unicef while on vacation
  • When we talk about Palestinian violence we (rightly) put it in context of the oppression they suffered. You can't expect an oppressed people to react kindly and patiently to their oppressors. But this guy apparently does not deserve this circumspect approach. We know nothing about him other than he is claimed to be an Israeli soldier but he might have any number of mental illnesses, PTSD, what have you. But we're perfectly happy to label him a monster, no questions asked.

    I'm not trying to justify any violent behavior obviously, but we sure do love putting the excesses of "our" side in broader context, and highlighting perceived injustices of "theirs" without context.

  • Israeli soldier loses it at Unicef while on vacation
  • Yeah you're right, these people are just born monsters, as a baby he was probably already biting the other babies when he got the chance. In fact, shouldn't even consider these people human right?

    Such a dumb take.

  • If you can't stand, feel free to stand
  • Jesus Christ I'm so tired of having to take these absolute morons seriously. In their tiny pea brain they think they're making a brilliant point here. "I are good guy, you am bad guy" Maybe democracy really is a mistake.

  • Elon Musk adds $30 billion to his net worth in a single day: ‘Tesla will become the most powerful company in the world’
  • It happened before and next week there will be an article saying his net worth dropped X billion. A quick google shows there was a moment in 2023 his net worth dropped from 320 billion to 138. Tesla's stock has always been a bitcoin-esque rollercoaster and I don't see that ending any time soon.

    Aside from the possible Enron-level accounting fraud, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

  • Games that restore faith in the industry?
  • I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It's been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

    For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

    For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it's absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

    Oh and if you're into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

  • X4 gets another expansion. Announcement Wed Dec 20 - 16:00 CET. On to v7.00!

    The most elaborate space sim ever made is getting another expansion/update, most likely early in the new year. Full announcement on Youtube tomorrow Dec 20th at 16:00 CET.
