farquaad-point The game devs thought they could critique capital without being subsumed by it.

People don't look at me so funny anymore when I'm casually wearing half mask P100 respirators on my bike ride to the store.

I was thinking in particular about US generals in WW2. Some of them were high-T psychos, but it seems like most of them were mousy, fruity, or emotionally wrecked divas. And very effective wagers of war.

Why the fuck are they using that picture. Show his real form.

Perfect time to add seasons and harsh weather to GTA. Whipping shitties on frozen streets while ICE is in pursuit. Point and laugh at while slip and fall on their assess on the ice before you warm 'em up with a flamethrower.

I'm not even against the LV Loop in principle, I think it's useful to be trying and testing all sorts of stuff like this. The train gang knows it's stupid, but normies don't, and in the meantime at least a bunch of people are getting useful on-the-job training with tunnel boring machines.

But it is so crazy that evidently zero thought continues to go into the station design? Is there even anyone at the company who's job is to get the stations figured out? Or even just the basic "how do we load and unload passengers".

Ray offhandedly mentions in the video that obviously the ulterior motive is just to disrupt other transit options by sucking oxygen out of the room. But with the mention of some of the continuing funding sources, it makes me wonder if we're missing some sort of obvious government funding source that is keeping this project in the black. The whole situation makes way more sense to me if they have some sort of metric they need to hit on station count expansion, and that unlocks further grants, and so they're focusing on that with no regard for any other aspect of the project. It would track with Musk's other ventures: he seems genuinely good at identifying potentially untapped sources of government largess, and then building large companies to suck on it.

You can play some sick games on this, I'm not sure you'd ever get bored.

The lines outside the portapotties are always crazy on test day!

Given what we know about history's greatest generals, I think it's safe to say that high T is not always the Right Stuff to have.

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
