  I can accept the exterior but the interior of that car is what gives me anxiety

  That’s one of my all time favorites. The combat is just so polished and satisfying and the graphics are incredibly beautiful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.

  Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep… It was a good time.

  Assuming I could force somebody to poop on command with little effort beyond sheer willpower, I would absolutely take it upon myself to dish out petty justice with that power.

  I see you being rude to people working in a service job? You get poopy pants.

  I see you playing music on your phone or otherwise being obnoxious on the bus or some other public space? You get poopy pants.

  Are you driving like an asshole? Following too closely? Cutting people off? Honking the moment the light turns green? Words can’t express the satisfaction I will feel in knowing that you’re now sitting in your car with the poopiest of pants my power could possibly muster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨topical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly, this take is profoundly arrogant and indicative of why the Democrats lost to Trump (again, arguably again-again).

  This implies that the Democrats could not have possibly done any better, or at least submits to the idea that there is nothing meaningful to be learned from this failure. It projects onto the general electorate a deterministic outlook, that they were always going to vote for Trump no matter what as a way to shield the Democrats and ourselves from accountability.

  This is a difficult time time for all of us. We are looking down the barrel of another Trump presidency, one that promises to be a significant tragedy in the history of our nation. It hurts to know what’s coming and people are resigning themselves to complacency in order to ease the pain.

  But if we want to stand a chance the next time around, we need to understand that the Democrats played a role in their own demise. We need to demand better, not make excuses for them and perpetuate the mediocrity that has been the Democratic platform over the last decade. We can’t just hope for another deadly crisis to get us out of this one.

  An index that either tracks the top 500 companies or the total market. Look up a 3-fund portfolio if you want to go a little deeper.

  I’m jealous! I’d love to do all those things to my house. Unfortunately, I’m priced out of homeownership in my area. So I rent and all the money I’d otherwise be spending on climate-friendly upgrades are instead financing my landlord’s wealth accumulation.

  I’ve been house browsing in the Portland area for years and am losing hope of ever being able to afford one. Last year I saw a frame of a house, basically a roof on studs with tarp and plywood as the “walls” being listed for sale. They were asking for $300k.

  Three months and one week still seems like a clean quarter to me.

  Alternatively, if we really want to stick to the three-month quarter then we could call the extra week of each quarter an off-week or save it all for the 13th month of the year since nothing really gets done during that time anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had an EV for 9 months now and I’ve actually experienced far less range anxiety with my EV than with my previous ICEs. This is due to the fact that because I can charge overnight in my garage I almost never leave home without a full battery. Versus before with my ICEs where I’d often be driving across town on fumes because I’d forgotten to fuel up the night before.

  I drive in the city/urban areas the vast majority of the time so 200+ miles of range is plenty for my day-to-day needs. I’ve honestly never run into a situation where I’ve been worried about running out of juice; I rarely even get below 50%.

  As for longer drives, I’ve done several 600+ mile road trips without issue. Sure, charging takes a bit longer than fueling up at a gas station but the opportunity to stretch my legs, rest in the car, or get a bite to eat does wonders for fighting road fatigue. As for finding charging stations, I’d recommend planning your route beforehand but the charging network is dense enough in my region to where I can choose to skip a station if it’s too busy and try the next one.

  You get the benefit of the vast gasoline network but you also get the maintenance of both ICE and electric systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The Last of Us' Was the Most-Pirated Show of 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a very plot-driven story with very little deviation from the main mission. I loved the show but I agree that the plot is especially linear (much like a video game) and without the in-between bits where you’d be playing the game in the original story the pacing can feel rushed.

  I think the show could have benefited from more time with Joel and Ellie to develop their relationship but I don’t know how they could have done that without bloating the story with filler that wasn’t original to the game, which would not have gone over well.
