Yes, I’ve given up anything resembling a dream career in any field. I’m too autistic for careers, and I’ve accepted that I will only ever have a “job.”

Being an unarmed security guard isn’t so bad.

Sure, as long as you also remove ChatGPT.

I’ve been considering getting this game because I love Remedy, but I don’t have any friends. Has anyone had much experience with the match-making portion of the game and can comment on it?

Here’s an interactive map which shows the scale of the looting:

Here’s an article that goes into the specifics a bit more:

They’re selling public land (trying to, anyway) to the highest bidder, with no rules about how the land will be used. Expect private golf courses, Airbnbs, luxury summer homes, etc.

I’m willing to stand in front of a bulldozer if it comes down to that.

The thing in Florida is encouraging, although that was at the State level rather than Federal. I’m sure there are organizations who are going to oppose this… if this happens it will be irreversible and will effectively ruin western states, and put a huge dent in local economies. This will also hurt the people who don’t hike. People come to the western US from all over the world to use our public land.

It’s so sad! I can’t stop crying about it. Hiking is my entire life. I live in Washington and looked at an interactive map of the land they’re trying to sell. All of my favorite spots are in danger.

If you look at the map you’ll see how stupid it is… they’re cutting everything into tiny pieces so that even the land they don’t sell will lose it’s recreational value. The PCT will likely be completely ruined because of this. The way they’re cutting it up… there’s no logic to it. They’re doing this to hurt us.

Yup. And no one is talking about the theft of 250 million acres of public land, either. Netanyahu and Trump are both bombing Iran for political reasons and blaming it on nukes that probably don’t exist.

It’s absolutely wild that the ability to cry when you need to is considered to be a trait exclusive to women. It’s absolutely essential for a healthy mind, and I’ve gotten quite good at it despite my useless Y chromosome.

I’m so sorry, that sounds awful. I did get lucky in the sense that I had one good enough parent, which is honestly probably while I’m still alive and doing alright. I still talk to my Mom on a weekly basis. She had a lot of unwinding to do after her divorce. It’s tricky to get an abusive narcissist out of your head. They have a way of living there.

I hope you’re doing better! Your perseverance is admirable as hell.

Sometimes getting through adversity and hardship can make us into better, tougher, and more empathetic adults than we would’ve been if our childhoods had been easier. I hope that’s the case for you.

If you want something durable it’s best to go with two piece poles rather than three pieces. When poles bend or break it’s always on the bottom piece because it’s the thinnest.

Unfortunately two piece poles can be hard to find. I’ve been considering getting some MSR poles because it’s a reputable brand and they have a two piece option. I just wish they offered a model with cork handles because I’ve gotten used to cork and will miss it.

These are intended for snowshoeing, which makes sense considering the only time I’ve bent a pole it was while snowshoeing. But of course they can be used anywhere and come with regular mud baskets. If you’re looking for maximum durability, these are a good option.

Any good memories of my Dad are overwritten by the child abuse. I would’ve been better off being raised by a single mother. Today is… complicated.

Ohhhh this is fabulous. This could’ve been written yesterday, or 50 years ago… and it would still be as relevant as it was on release.

Ooof I made myself sad.

And then he hits on your Mom, and tries to trick her into reaching into his pocket. It doesn’t work because his creepy shit only worked on the women who were required to interact with him for their careers.

Dual booting has existed for a long time but this same boost in performance when using SteamOS might not appear on desktops.

I wonder if this same concept would apply to desktops. If you could install both SteamOS and keep windows for when you wanted to run something other than a game. This could be huge.

This is something that needs to be taught in public education. Capitalism has a way of destroying our self esteem and the cycle needs to be broken. It’s so frustrating that I can understand this but need to be constantly reminded of this by a frog.

It’s called negativity bias. It’s an evolved trait passed down from our ancestors. Only the people with anxiety who devoted a lot of conscious thought to unpleasant possibilities lived long enough to reproduce, passing on those tendencies.

I’m not sure if ADHD has anything to do with it, but it’s possible that there’s even more focus on negativity as a result.

MicroLED are currently being developed, so we’ll see what those are like. Imagining the world in 50 years is a scary exercise. There probably won’t be any wildlife left.

Whatever replaces OLED monitors. People are quick to defend OLED, citing the fabulous picture quality, but I’m not about to spend that kind of money on a display with a built in expiration date. They only last until the burn-in becomes too pronounced to continue enjoying it. This issue is especially troublesome for people who play certain games with persistent UI elements.
