Listen, I’m trying to doomscroll, not read my psych eval.

Something something trickle down

So, basically a movie?

I kinda wish this was a reward for the early purchasers. Buy the EA release and you get free DLC at launch that gives you the option to use placeholder art or new art. Hades II had some great placeholder art and it’s all gone now.

That might be one of the dumbest things I’ve read in a while…

Edit: Ok, I can already see the downvotes coming, but seriously, think about what OP is saying. Openly hoping for WW3. Getting Russia involved against the US, while already weakened by their war on Ukraine, is just the opportunity that the US military meat grinder wants to justify action against Russia. You can condemn the actions of the US and Russia in the same sentence. You don’t have to choose a side here. Saying “I’m glad Russia is attacking the US” isn’t a great stance to have in the current climate. Makes you sound like a warmongering idiot, regardless of how much you dislike anyone involved.

Your heart is in the right place, but maybe avoid that hard R in the future.

They just made two of them

If that means more people have a voice, then I’m all for it.

Seems like a bold move with the rising cost of components.

I’d wager most of them know the first steps of the procedure. It’s likely a story that gets passed around a lot, even if it’s a rare occurrence. Also, every firefighter I’ve known is borderline OCD with keeping the station clean. I doubt that baby would be outside for long before they noticed.

Hell yeah, I’ll read it when I get off work. One of my top 5 games of all time.

The average age of a first time parent in the US is around 27 right now. The iPhone is nearly 19 years old this year, and Facebook opened its gates to anyone over 13 right at 20 years ago. That means these first time parents were below 10 when these came out, and they likely grew up in a world where social media consumption on handheld devices was very common. So, when they are supervising their children, they aren’t doing it from the perspective that these things are bad, they are doing as though they are normal, because for them they are. This is what I mean with children of smokers become smokers. If its normalized around the house, it doesn’t matter how much policing is done, it’s just a part of your life.

In related news, children of smokers more likely to smoke.

The jury found that the marketing from Tesla didn’t line up with the actual abilities. Musk is on record saying that Autopilot drives better than a human. They also stated that it should only be used on highways and access roads, but even with their GPS always active, the car doesn’t differentiate between road types, and so will let you use it anywhere you like.

On top of that, Tesla triggered the car to wipe the crash data from the local copy 3 minutes after the accident so that the only copy of the crash data that remained was stored on their servers and could be tampered with.

All of that led the jury to giving 33% fault to Tesla, which, again, I think is fair.

This is an interesting one. The jury actually only faulted Tesla for 33% of the total blame, but since the driver wasn’t a defendant in the suit, he doesn’t have to pay the remaining 2/3rds. I really struggled with this one because to me it felt like Tesla was being attacked, but looking at it in the full light of day it ended up being pretty fair. The driver completely ignored the road while looking for their cellphone which had dropped to the floor, and then blamed the Tesla for not alerting him of the intersection. That leans pretty hard on the driver being irresponsible to me, and the jury felt the same way, which is why they said that Tesla was only 33% to blame. So, Tesla trying to overturn this verdict is them trying to absolve themselves of all fault, which I don’t agree with, and I think the judge did the right thing. Tesla advertised a feature of a car that failed to work in the way it was described. Should the driver have been more present? Yep. Should Tesla still be partially responsible for the fault in their machinery? Yep, again.

My roommate [content warning]

This shit is really happening, and it’s hitting all age brackets. Even if you think someone is doing OK, it’s fine just to check on them. “Hey, how are you?” Be sincere. Don’t hit them with the “What’s up?” Everyone has a preprogrammed response. But give them eye contact and a genuine tone. It’s not something you’ll ever regret.

Hope you’re white.

$20 isn’t terrible, but it’s a straight port seemingly, so maybe do $25 for the pair, Nintendo? The only thing this makes available is online features which, while cool to have again, are hardly enough to warrant this price.

Let me guess… just in time for a 2028 election where we all suddenly need our valid SSN?

And the DLC and “Deluxe” editions… The price of a AAA game is well over $100 now.
