I'm with you, I don't get the draw - I'm not a fan of the clutter it would cause but whatever floats their boat, it's not sinking mine :P.

I feel like it's the same as collecting shoes or purses - fashion/collecting just of something else. The abe meme is spot on.

You nailed it.

Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.

I'm with you. Zero session is value added even with an experienced group. We've been playing with the we group for a while and whenever we do a new campaign or new DM we end up using a zero session to reset expectations & make sure everyone's still on the same page with the upcoming campaign.

I haven't seen the GX but the LCs design is growing on me. Really glad they stick with the box instead of making a coupe out of it somehow.

My comment was 10,000% sarcasm. Of course they don't add jobs, trickledown economics is a complete crock of shit lol

Bahahaha I felt that I didn't have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong..

My take? The issue I have with the mega rich is that they (generalization here) aren't playing by the same rules as you or I. I don't have an issue, with not paying all of your employees 6 figures. Different jobs, skills, training, and capabilities are (and should be) worth different amounts of money. It's important that people with good ideas, or business capabilities have avenues of expanding, bettering themselves, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

When you pay money to write rules that are favorable to you, you become the problem. Money in politics is the problem. Imo, that has enabled all of this. Don't have good healthcare? Likely it was lobbied for because someone wanted more money. Stuck in prison? Oh yeah, money in politics got you there. Minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation? Something, something trickledown-bullshit, money in politics. Kids killed in school constantly? Oh you know....FUCKING MONEY IN POLITICS.

Favorable can be lobbying against health & safety or environmental regulations because it impacts your bottom line. It is donating to political campaigns for tax cuts (you know, fucking bribery). It's blocking minimum wage hikes to secure your bottom line.

All of that said, how people sleep at night with absurd amounts of money and minimal charity is disgusting. I don't fault someone for enjoying an oppulant lifestyle.....I do fault someone for Scrooge McDucking and hoarding cash....for what? Bragging rights? Power?

TLDR: be gaddamn ethical about it.

That's not a dog.........it's a raccoon! Oh my god, look at that raccoon wearing a hat!

I really like how well this puts things in perspective.

But if they lose money they can't invest it and create jobs.

Better yet, redeploy the ones on Trump and put new ones on the threatened!

You know, shuffle the cards around, same impact.

Bahaha nice catch.

Yup. Absolutely horrible.

I agree that he's a cancer to society and the US would be better off with him out of office.

However, "removed by a "candidate" who has nothing to live for" sounds an awful lot like advocating for violence which I absolutely disagree with.

Vote, get others to vote, advocate, protest, donate if able, and don't give clicks to articles/platforms on fascists.

The updates has been one of my biggest drivers, they have minimal bloateare, and, the phones are like the sweet spot of value/performance for what i do daily.

I adore classic dungeon crawls & this looks like a blast. My group really dislikes mega dungeons....or really any dungeon..... they're weird people but they're my weird people <3.

How have you found offline mode to work while traveling? I remember hearing early on it was a bear to use without wifi without extra steps.

I'm in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.

Upvote because I whole heartedly disagree with you.

That is absolutely hilarious. They should've offered him @twitter in exchange, it would only be fair...

10:10 wholesome response.

Just blocked the reddit@lemmy.world and my feed is soooo much better.

Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.

I loved all of Asimov's books/stories, I've recommended to a number of friends but a few have had the same issues with the foundation books as above.

I thought the scale/short-story history jumping style of the foundation books was a really unique approach to storytelling. I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Snagged the audiobook from my library this morning & started it via libby. Audiobook was an excellent idea, thank you!!

That's awesome :) - have you found parts any harder to come by as the years go on?

Ive never worked on vws so I don't have a ton of context, but have always heard they're popular to work on - something like age+popularity=harder/more expensive to get parts

Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!

Ive tried to get thru dune a few of times but it hasnt clicked for me yet, I'll use your comment as a reminder that I need to give it another go :)

Love the blue.

Why'd/how'd you pick this for your project? Was it laying around, a good deal, or vw passion?

This is the most interesting one I've read so far.

That was my first thought when I didn't see any vehicles in the longer Bethesda overview of the game. A game so large it would easily support vehicles and vehicle bays for bases & starships. I wonder if we'll see smaller space vehicles like little explorer, mining, combat, or boarding pods.

10,000% it is.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.

Finding what makes you happy and focusing on making sure you're unapologetically taking care of yourself is a good place to start.

This goes for work, relationships, hobbies, friends, whatever.

Can't say I've always done a great job of it but for me it feels like it has made a difference the older I've gotten.

And of course, social media (including lemmy) is horrible for self confidence so don't binge if you can help it.

This is what I mean. Why isn't there an option to not auto connect? Why do we need to select per car? It really does feel odd.

Far and away my least favorite aspect of Android auto is not having a simple, easy option to toggle auto connect.

Another poster shared how to disable auto connect through settings - when I went that route my phone no longer would connect to the car. I had to do it,, however because it would auto activate my Bluetooth and fight my wife's phone to connect in our car.

Android auto started as a phenomenal idea, but through its quest to be as convenient as possible, it went too far and became incredibly burdensome if you have multiusers or don't want to always connect.

Sorry for my rant, Android auto has really been a frustration for me recently, enough to the point where I've uninstalled it entirely and am back to using my phone on a mount.

User name checks out...?

How likely is a federated threads going to be used to harvest data for whatever advertising or AI purpose meta has?

Aside from ensuring their launch product has immediate content, the only reason meta would do this is for that $$.

That said, it could be a symbiotic relationship with instances who's users aren't super worried about that & find value from the addtl content it will surely bring.
