Marianne williamson, Dean Phillips. Both are on the primary ballot.

… You know on closer inspection I can’t help but notice that for an American you’re about 8 stories tall and look to be from the paleolithic era…

DAMNIT NESSIE GET OFF LEMMY!

I know but if they were smart they’d say they’re gonna take an hour to do it, find the footage in 10 minutes and goof off another 50.

Pull a Scotty, then you’re productive and lazy. It’s just disappointing they can’t even procrastinate properly. I feel bad.

I mean, in the era of VHS this won’t work because ultimately you’re fast forwarding and rewinding. So you’re gonna watch it anyway. but in the digital era I thought this would be what any Police officer did?

Like… they’re not even gonna spend 10 minutes on a theft?

Admittedly, there is no government housing for politicians, which means either buying renting in washington DC (not cheap) in addition to your home in your own state, or moving entirely to Washington DC for a position you may lose in 4 years.

The entire job seems to be closed out to everyone but millionaires.

While this looks cool, my phone can’t actually scan any of these. Anybody else have any luck?

right? they’re pretty impressive. Although the cat one I saw was definitely AI made with all the weird limbs of the cats.

I always use edge whenever I’m making a public presentation with a computer I use. Simply because I never use it. Then autocomplete won’t embarrass me if we look something up.

I’d buy that. I’ve had amazing vegan and vegetarian chilis from cans, but never anything of the same quality from something with meat.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.

I mean, it’s another example of the lack of attention to detail and rushing, but yeah.

Found a link to the thesis.

So far it requires a spellcheck, a grammar check, An entire paragraph spends way too long setting a premise and then an example that does nothing to its premise. His entire intro was a ramble that confuses me to what the hell this was supposed to be a thesis about.

Like there’s a single line that says this essay is about “a set of right-wing intellectuals who have come to be labeled the “Conservative Revolutionaries.”” It took you 2 and a half pages to communicate that to the reader, but I still have no idea

• Why should I care about this group?
• Why do you care about this group?
• “Who have come to be labeled” implies this label has come recently. This was a group from WWII. Why can’t you just say called?

He then moves into those questions, briefly, again with just galling grammar scattered around. Acceptable in a first draft but certainly NOT a final.

I had to stop reading about a quarter of the way in. It just reeks of padding. I’m not surprised it’s plagiarized, it’s entirely quotes and trombone speak.
What the hell did he get as a grade? Even if it wasn’t plagiarized it couldn’t have been a C.

Wait that was real?!? I thought that was satire!!!

Jesus Christ that’s the kind of name an angsty teenager gives their life changing app.

It’s the most milk toast edge you could possibly give a website.

The only time that name is acceptable is for a website of nautical pirates.

How did he even get the domain from the edgelord who had it before who refused to get into myspace and decided to build his own website from scratch?

How many times did he have to misspell twitter before he put his foot down like this?

But if X is twitter, how will he mark his emerald mines on his map at home?

PSA:
Edge is also what you should use whenever you’re making a public presentation and need to open a browser.

Why? Because you never use edge, therefore autocomplete is almost empty which means you can type:

1. x
2. p
3. h
4. r

With full confidence that NOTHING will appear that you will not want public.

That’s not true at all. If 20% of people wrote in Mickey Mouse for their vote, you can be damn sure both parties would be announcing their presidential runs at Disneyworld.

Even if a third party doesn’t win, it’s in the major party’s best interest to adopt policies from that party in order to snipe voters from that third party because:

• That party knows those voters will show, it’s a good investment.
• The other party might snipe those voters instead.
• If neither party adopts anything from that party, the party might grow.

Voting isn’t just a form of choosing a candidate, it’s a form of protest as well. One that takes far less time than a week of picketing. One that’s very powerful as well. 20% of people willing to show up to the polls, and vote nothing… that’s 20% of people willing to vote for the right person should they come along.

Like, at this point the absolute most rope I can give him is that he’s the living embodiment of that Mitchell and Webb sketch Are we the Baddies

How do you NOT know that white nationalists aren’t just nationalists who happen to be white? If he’s not racist then he’s dumber than the congressman who was afraid an island would capsize if people evacuated to one side of it.

Brotato is in Godot? nice.

Not only that, sharing that fix is just so trivial. No trying to coordinate “you need to download 13.1.7.6 RC2 from Unity’s main site”

They focus on entirely different things.

Godot is small. I would’ve loved to have it in high school because I would’ve dumped it on a flashdrive and built games on whatever computer I had access to. Even on flashdrives from the early 2000s. You will feel weird installing it… because when you download it it’s just a .exe and it just… runs. No “let’s check for updates” no “let’s create an account” no “hey can you answer this survey?” It just, goes from the moment you double click.

Godot is entirely open source. Which sounds like a meh reason if you’re not an EFF warrior but is SERIOUSLY useful if you want to do weird stuff with a game engine. You gotta PAY if you wanna edit source code to Unity. On the other hand, you can just freely edit Godot. If you want to create a brand new tool within Godot’s interface, the hoops you jump through are trivial. Hell, Godot’s editor is actually a game built within Godot they’re literally teaching you how to edit the editor as you’re making games. Meaning if you wanna veer into the avant guard weird ass shit as a hobby. Godot is the better option.

The GDscript might sound like a detriment, but it really does trivialize a lot of game engine specific concepts and tasks. Meaning that once you start getting used to GDscript… you no longer have to worry about a lot of things because the language takes care of it for you.

Unity though, has a larger base. So importing assets are trivial, porting to consoles like the switch are vastly easier (so I’ve heard). If you’re planning on going big… Unity will probably make your final steps easier.

It’s because it’s a feature 0 people will complain about adding if it all works well. It’s a small, minor, completely unnecessary detail.

If it’s there, then someone had the time, the energy, and the freedom to add it, just because they wanted to. It’s not an item that will make it on the checklist of a minimum viable game.

If it’s there, it’s a very good sign.
