Now I know what my is gonna look like once fully grown!

This is a very reasoned argument, I don’t understand the downvotes. Nothing said here is inflammatory or incorrect, it’s a pretty valid take on how Lemmy reacts to things they don’t want to be true, including legitimate criticisms of Harris. A lot of people seem to think anyone saying “but wait” means they’re for Trump, even if that’s not the case. I mean I get it, he was a disaster and it’s crazy the collective amnesia that half this country seems to have about it, Harris will assuredly be better than him, including with Gaza. It still doesn’t mean we should just unilaterally ban asking the Dems to do more, even if there are some that attempt to argue such things in bad faith.

I will say “vote hard enough” could work if we actually did it, but only way may be to have auto registration at 18. But I agree, Dems need to stop courting the ever decreasing “undecideds” and actually represent something left of center-right.

Voting is still valid though, a lot of us on the left seem to disdain voting as useless and only want to go with rhetoric, but it’s literally how MLKJ got the most done that was enforceable. Civil disobedience to get attention, million man marches to register the vote and getting people to the polls no matter what was in the way. If we ever actually did that maybe we could get some more lefty candidates on bigger stages.

I think there are plenty of instances that aren’t, and those don’t include the hyper tanky/toxic ones. The big instances have tended to skew neoliberal though.

This sacrifice affirms that no one would go through with this if it was a “choice” or “for attention” or whatever the shitbags are saying these days. Imagine giving up the strength of a woman’s immune system and the ease of childbirth for the horrid experience of a man with a cold!

My cat is always playful and energetic lol but he’s a wild one at 1 1/2. Got a 2nd one and she’s helping calm him down thankfully, she’s just also the sweetest damn thing, purrs at the drop of a hat

See what you can get by putting some subtle feelers out. Talk to a recruiter or two. Best time to search for a job is while you have one, but you don’t have to commit to it full time unless shit really hits the fan. You’re more likely to get written up than fired initially anyway if he’s not the owner, erratic or not he has to answer for that.

Continue working towards whatever certifications you want in the meantime, especially if the job pays/reimburses you for it.

Your favorite of all of them? Really? I’m honestly curious because I found it pretty terrible, in the vein of crystal skull more than the OGs. In my view it was all over the place, didn’t tell a cohesive story, and dragged on for at least 45 minutes longer than it should’ve. I’m having trouble even recalling what the movie was even about and it’s only been a couple months.

My Eldritch Knight/war wizard stands, unafraid.

This is plausible. That or it’s just a really cheap policy - no windstorm/hail damage is very much NOT normal for homeowners though, even so.

The rest of this is pretty standard stuff and the fact that people seem angry/surprised by it speaks volumes to how little attention they’ve paid to their own policies. Read your paperwork y’all. It’s tedious, but you are also party to the insurance contract that you’re paying for. It can also help you find grey areas of coverage, and a grey area (ambiguous language) tends to work out well for the insured party (you, if you have insurance).

Can I sell you my digital deluxe copy? Half price???

This is gonna sound like a #humblebrag but same. I’ve had drunken gay dudes thank me for existing because they found me that attractive. I know a decent amount of women find me attractive but it’s nowhere near the same degree.

My wife is highly amused by it, but it’s like damn, I’d be absolutely killing it if I was at all into dudes.

Damn, I loved the SSX games, particularly Tricky. A remake would be pretty sweet rn, pretty sure 99% of snowboarders would buy it at least haha.

Thanks for asking, OP. I’m in a similar boat, except I don’t even have a computer to get started with yet, only an old phone if I wanted to use that (not trying to do things on my daily). Thinking of buying a raspberry pi and diving in but dunno where to start.

Have plex and someone kind enough to share their library with me, but it doesn’t have everything I want. Could be worse tho, I suppose.

Nope, not unless you’re playing online against randoma or friends.

Hmmm. I’d say if you want to try some very different gameplay, one of the “special” tribes. Cymanti or Polaris can be quite fun. Aquarion used to be fairly weak but they’re a lot better following the update, elyrion was actually pretty weakened by the update but devs know this and are working on ways to make them a bit stronger.

If you just want good music, I like Yaddak and ai mo. Quetzali are fun as well. Lux is versatile but they’re more expensive than any other tribe just as a joke about their in game culture lol so buy them late imo. Wouldn’t recommend vengir till later also, swords are cool but can be hard to play since their econ takes time to develop.

Polytopia if you like strategy. You can buy tribes if you want to, but the basic 4 they give you have the “strongest” in the game, there’s no p2w. I’ve ended up buying all the tribes and am well on my way to all the skins (they only have one extra skin for some of the tribes at the moment) but that’s because I play it a ton and have for years, so it’s just to support the dev.

Dev is active and makes improvements regularly, just released a long anticipated update that had some significant game play changes so it feels fresh, and the changes seem to make it more interesting / balanced so far.

There’s also a very dedicated fan community on discord that sets up frequent tournaments or team games if you find you like it.

I mean, isn’t this the wrong way to approach it from the jump? Science isn’t a matter of belief, but of understanding.

It’s not, do you believe in gravity, it’s do you understand gravity (to whatever degree). It should then also be, do you understand climate change?

Framing it as a matter of belief falls right into the the hands of the anti science people.

If I ever find you in public, it’s on sight for this comment.
