Around me sativa/indica is just a short hand for how sleepy weed is. No one (around me) pays attention if the weed is actually genetically close to either.
I think its just habit that I use those words rather than saying sleepy or energizing.

Definitely watch some gameplay. The super early game is quite self explanatory, but noita quickly escalates to puzzles so hard a community needs to get together to solve them.
Playing Noita with all the knowledge of the wider community has made so many cool bosses actually beatable, and made the whole game a lot more fun for me.

Its great! It will not hesitate to kill you until you learn it.
Binding of Isaac has a bit of invincibility after every hit, and that works for the game really well. You need to be able to recover and not die immediately.
Noita has no invincibility frames like that. You need to be able to die immediately. An instant death is essential for the game tone and balance.

Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.
It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.
It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.
I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.

That was way more explosive than I expected.
If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?
Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.
To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.
- Comment on Midweek feels 1 month ago:
Well for me I guess I would’ve liked voting day to be a holiday before we got to any others. It felt like a vibey culture war win rather than actual progress.
But like it is a thing worth celebrating. Much better than Columbus day lol.
- Comment on Founder of 23andMe buys back company out of bankruptcy auction 1 month ago:
For most shareholders in most businesses, the risk is that you are no longer as rich as your peers.
Most US households can’t weather a $1000 unexpected expense without going into debt.
To be real, capital gains are the definition of inequality. It is making money by having enough money to own something. There is no other economic force that drives inequality more.
Small business is a decent minority of US employers. It can’t be ignored, but it is the unlikely case when sampling by employee or just by random citizen.
At most an owner can be reimbursed for their costs of starting the business. Past that I don’t see any reason to give them a special share of the profits. Even that feels generous given how unequal we are, and that fact that having the money to start a business means you are likely more privileged than your employees.
- Comment on Founder of 23andMe buys back company out of bankruptcy auction 1 month ago:
Depends, are considering the fact that 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans? Also are you considering that being in the top 10% means you likely have rich friends and family that could bail you out? I think black rock is going to be fine.
Most businesses aren’t like my friends parents little Chinese restraunt.
To me using the, “think of the shareholders” line is silly for a reason. The biggest privileges is the privilege to make mistakes without becoming impoverished. Workers have it much harder in that respect.

I’m all for having more options. Though deep down I just want everyone to work on Ardour lol.
How do these browser based DAWs stay funded? Is there enough community money to keep these things up?

I sorta agree. Given how well known the phenomenon, and that we admit we are unequipped to deal with it, OnlyFans should probably inform new models that they are likely to have their nudes dispersed into the internet.
We can’t blame an individual cause we don’t know them, but OnlyFans for sure knows enough to be blamed.

I totally respect having boundaries like that. Some folks just won’t hear a word you say.

Like you have a point, it just feels like it’s against the spirit of the post.
I see liberals (at least in the US) as folks that mean well, but maybe aren’t so informed. They can have a seat at my table.

- Comment on Female fencer, disqualified after declining to fight trans opponent, feared for career and personal life before viral protest 3 months ago:
This is actually one of the funnier ones I’ve seen
Turner claimed she usually doesn’t sign up for events where she knows there’s a chance of going up against a transgender opponent, but did so this time as a form of protest.
“So what I was doing already was just avoiding tournaments where I knew there was a transgender fencer. But at this point, what else should I do? Should I just not sign up for any tournaments? I have no other options,” Turner told the Daily Mail.
Lmao. And they use such a victim complex title.
What immense virtue signaling. I wonder if she is aiming to be in trumps cabinet for his attempt at a third term.
