Its gotta be, the devs of the game would want you to trust the advisor so they’d make them charismatic and friendly.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Most of the conspiracy theories involve that shadow group opressing people, removing rights from people, hiding truths, and transfering wealth to the higher classes.
A lot of what trump is doing goes along with that. I think this is not solid evidence against shadow government theory.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 1 week ago:
Ive seen this a lot and i don’t think it is weird. One thind I’ll mention is people are probably going to stop and watch you, ask questions, maybe even ask if they can try. If that won’t bother you while practicing then I’d say go for it and get out there juggling. You could probably leave a hat or something on the ground and people will toss you a couple of coins just for letting them watch.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue the DLCs did more than you imply. The extra modes of transit gave more options to move people, painting a custom park area made cities feel more realistic than premade square parks, universities could be a great centerpiece for a neighborhood. Its not like vanilla was unplayable, but the DLC defintely added more creativity for me.
- Comment on What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work) 2 weeks ago:
In wet areas or areas during a snow melt, sump pumps are a big factor. Many people have emergency generators or battery back up pumps if their sump pit has a lot of flow.
Also rural people will often lose power to their water pumps and disinfection equipment for drinking water.

I never played cs1 on release, only played after it was nearly 10 years old, but my understanding is it vastly improved over updates and dlc (which unfortunately did cost more but did at least add meaningful changes for the most part).
Im curious to see where CS2 stands in 3-5 years when mods have really taken off and the devs had made most of their major tweaks.
- Comment on Should I continue with exercise if I didn't get enough sleep? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe if you feel you can’t get back to sleep, do your exercise early. Maybe it’ll save you time later for a nap or an earlier bed time. I find if i wake and feel decently rested even if its not wake up time i prefer to just start my day there than interupt another sleep cycle.
- Comment on Stop wasting taxpayer money! 3 weeks ago:
Not only health from exercise, but also a reduction in car crash related injuries, and the whole city benefits from cleaner air with less cars on the road. Theres also the huge financial savings because each mile traveled by bike is far less expensive for society than a car mile (road surfacing, signage, registration, traffic enforcement, subsidized parking, less pavement needed for a bike lane vs a car lane, etc)

You should make it more like 12-16hrs. What if they get drunk and high again at the same time tomorrow?
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 weeks ago:
Trump crashing the economy, Trump dying from whatever, Vance taking over and taking credit for any kind of recovery sounds almost like its planned.

- Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit? 1 month ago:
Whenever I call 911, my phone notifies my that blocked numbers will be able to call for a little bit after dialing 911.
- Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit? 1 month ago:
I used to set my phone as a private number. I’d have to call customers sometimes to confirm times or discuss jobs, but most customers didn’t need access to my direct number and we’d rather them contact the office than contact me directly.
- Comment on You can add self-driving to non-Teslas via comma.ai's "openpilot": an open-source, LiDAR-based dashcam module 1 month ago:
User choose to install their own software, meaning its now the softwares fault the car killed a pedestrian.
I’m all for open source but even closed source profit based systems haven’t mastered self driving, this seems a little bit ridiculous to use on a public roadway.
- Comment on When bad guys capture you, instead of torture, they should just have someone charming take you out for drinks. 1 month ago:
Nah they really mess with you. You’re tortured most of the time except those times they clean you up, get you tipsy and send you with the honey pot. Rinse and repeat everyday until one of the methods breaks you or the honey pot falls for you for real and plans an escape.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The path we are going is just doubling down on that future. Even if transitioning and slowing our impacts won’t fix things, it could help slow the changes down to a more manageable pace. Doubling down on burning more oil, and overall more consumption, could increase the rate the climate is changing at. It could overwhelm garbage and recycling capacity (this is already true in many places or sectors).

Also access to shaving products and accessories is getting easier. Hand held electric razors are getting smaller and can do a lot of the work before a blade makes a smooth finish.
That said, as a male i hate shaving my privates smooth. I find the hair acts as a natural lubricant, without hair everything either gets sticky or feels slimy down there.

- Comment on How would he have 6 limbs otherwise? 2 months ago:
I like to keep one around if i need to clear an abandoned mineshaft. Sometimes its worth it as a way to reroll your enchants while still getting something you can use early on.

If that were true, wouldn’t the bane of arthopods enchantment deal extra damage to the dragon?

- Comment on LG's new stretchable display can grow by 50%, bendy panels can be deformed into new form factors 6 months ago:
Couldn’t they just use our existing curved screen technology that we see on gaming and work station monitors? The real innovation here is being stretchy and moldable and i doubt those features are needed for a dashboard.

- Comment on A decline in arable land 6 months ago:
Can you really call a sea of single family homes and overgrown backyards a city? I get that cities get bigger, but if we are going to pave over farmland lets fit more than 5-10 people per acre.
- Comment on A decline in arable land 6 months ago:
Yet here in Canada, we pave over our farmland to build McMansions and strip malls. Sure we can feed our own country and then some still, but is this really the best use of such high quality arable land?
- Comment on Hmmmm 6 months ago:
Yes
