I don’t think Zohran is as committed to the democratic party as you think. He is a member of the DSA and ran as part of their party surrogate strategy. I think he’s playing nice with the NYPD for the same reason that Mexican politicians have to play nice with the cartels. He knows NYC political history and has seen what happens when you face them head-on.
You’re talking as if the label has no real meaning and is just an accessory. Consider the possibility Zohran calls himself a Democratic Socialist because that’s what he actually believes in. It’s not just branding, it’s a statement of intent. His platform may just be social democratic, but his long term vision does seem to be full socialism.
I’m printing this and hanging it on my wall.
That is a horribly designed butt plug.
I would like to know some specifics. For one, where is this charter you mentioned? Another, is there some kind of technology that you’re attempting to pitch to activist groups or are you just describing organizational strategies using computer science jargon? If there is actually something tangible that you’re presenting here then your communication skills need some serious work.
If this is meant to be a call to action it contains way too much technical jargon and not enough straightforward instruction. What is it you expect people to do after reading this? You can’t recruit people to prefigure a new society by just describing how you expect it to work, you need to give clear instructions and concrete steps that can be taken. You’ve asked people to examine your charter but you haven’t told us where that can be found.
The way you’ve written this sounds more like a pitch for a crypto scam than a political project.
I think the biggest predictor of whether people will vibe with Outer Wilds is how much natural curiosity they have and how self-motivated they are. Outer Wilds doesn’t push players towards any particular objective, it instead tries to give players questions so they go looking for answers. Of course a game that relies so heavily on intrinsic motivation isn’t going to be for everyone, but the thing that makes the game so difficult for some people to get into is the same thing that makes those who do get into it love it so much.
Some non-spoilery advice if you decide to give it another shot:
Use the ship log every loop and read what’s new. Look at the biggest cards in rumor mode and try to find them. There are several “secret” locations in the game that many of the hints point towards which contain information that puts the game’s mystery into perspective and gives players a sense of direction and purpose. In the playthroughs I’ve seen where they didn’t finish it was almost always because they played for a long time without finding any of the “big” secret locations.
I assumed it meant capitalism where everyone is a stakeholder of the company they work for or something like that.
I’m making this comment with a OnePlus 6T I got 8 years ago when it was new and it has never needed repairs, so I wouldn’t exactly call it dogshit. Even the battery still lasts a couple days of heavy use before needing a charge, though that may have more to do with my efforts in reducing software overhead over the years. (Also making sure almost everything I ever view on it has an AMOLED dark background)
Feels like a curse in today’s world, honestly.
How are you feeling now that Italy and Spain have both abandoned the flotilla after they attempted to redirect aid into Israel’s hands and the flotilla refused?
And what a great job they’re doing! There’s definitely no double standards here, oh no. *cough Israel *cough.
NATO only acts to prevent the expansion of the United States’ rival imperial powers, like Russia and China. It’s nothing more than a military alliance of western powers to maintain US hegemony. It’s all well and good that it resists and deters Russia imperialism in Europe, but it has zero interest in stopping US imperialism in the middle east as carried out by the US’ favorite proxy state and stationary aircraft carrier, Israel. NATO isn’t attempting to maintain peace in Europe out of a genuine desire to protect human life, but simply to preserve the status quo and balance of power.
And if you’re wondering how Trump wanting to leave NATO fits into all this, it’s precisely because NATO preserves the balance of power. He thinks he can benefit from destabilizing the political climate of the world because he’s a scumbag who takes advantage of chaos to advance his interests, and he doesn’t care if other authoritarian leaders are able to do the same. The US could lose global standing, but that’s a risk he’s willing to take if it helps him consolidate power internally.
The mistake Hammond made in Jurassic Park wasn’t cloning dinosaurs, it was mismanaging the park due to greed.
Personally after seeing it a couple times I can read it naturally, but I can see how that’s not the case for everyone. I think the fear of difference and assumption that it’s for attention are big reasons for the hate, but I have another theory as well. I think a lot of people use the threadiverse in a similar way to Tiktok, moving quickly from post to post and skimming comments mindlessly such that they get very annoyed when they come across something that breaks their flow. You’re interrupting their dopamine stream and that makes them cranky, lol.
I’m no scientist but I think it would take an absurd and unrealistic amount of these to have any sort of noticeable effect on average wind speeds.
God forbid anyone do something a little different I guess. Reminds me of the way people used to treat kids who were into anime in my high school. They would use Japanese honorifics from time to time and were ruthlessly mocked and bullied for it. I wish humans weren’t like this, there’d be a little more joy and fun in the world.
You chose to be here, to read their comment, and to complain about it. You’re wasting your own time, and that’s not their fault. Have some self discipline and take responsibility for what you choose to do with your time.
Why is it so annoying to you? I struggle to understand why people get so worked up about a simple letter swap.
Every time I see you around you’re always getting dogpiled with downvotes and there’s always someone who replies just to complain about the thorn. What’s your take on why it seems to bother people so much? You seem to have attracted a following of virulent haters who for whatever reason feel personally affronted by your style choice.
I use Actual and it’s very barebones, no BS, does one thing and does it well. Great if that’s what you’re looking for.
