  This smug attitude is why vegans get a bad rap. Sure eating vegan helps, but you don’t have to go all the way. For instance, eating chicken instead of beef or reducing the amount of meat you eat. Imagine if the same thing was applies to transportation: it’s a lot easier to convince people to make your next car electric than to have no car at all (assuming America where commutes are long and public transit ranges from mediocre to nonexistent).

  Yeah, unless you emulate it of course. It’s not a direct sequal, but it’s heavily inspired by A Link to the Past

  Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It’s one of the most complex city builders made, and while the interface isn’t great and there are lots of obscure, weird, and downright unintuitive mechanics, it’s so rewarding to play because you can actually construct your infrastructure with materials and time, and so unlike Cities: Skylines or Transport Fever, the game doesn’t become trivially easy when you get a late game map. Those games you can eventually afford massive bridges and tunnels, but that’s not the case in Workers and Resources, because no matter how much money you have, bridges take time to build, and you’ll have to reroute traffic during construction, so you’ll only use them when you really need them.

  Have you tried A Link Between Worlds yet?

  Why would anyone care that you take lots of trips and vacations? Does it let you show off that you have a fulfilling life?

  Yeah but who doesn’t have at least a cell phone these days (unless you’re making many accounts)? They’re useful for 2 factor authentication too.

  I’ve never had an issue with viruses, I’m not a big company nor do I download sketchy files. I feel like if there’s something serious enough to affect me (like the iPhone Unicode character exploit), I’d hear about it.

  I frequently see comments saying stuff like “don’t trust them, they’re from Lemmy.ml” or “I’m glad Hexbear defederated” usually in terms of tankies/pro-russia anti-Ukraine support. Or occasionally, a random dislike of Lemmy.world because it’s too much like Reddit (isn’t that the point?)

  To be fair, the pandemic feels like it was ages ago. It was so long ago that the economy recovered, crashed again, companies reversed WFH policies, and are now apparently not enforcing RTO (at least that’s what I heard from a friend of a friend who works at Google).

  But not everywhere has moved on at the same rate. In Wisconsin it feels like a distant memory, but in California the buses still have signs saying “masks strongly recommended but not required”
