I turned on an older device yesterday and opened my old reddit app. It still works. I have no idea if it’s because it’s an old version of the app or if the policy got quietly changed. Or what. But it definitely works. I could read, up vote, and comment.

Do they move the cargo into smaller vehicles to get into the city? Or schedule the deliveries for low traffic times? Or just say fuck it and head into traffic?

That’s not happening with Millennials. You can debate why, but the data is clear.

This chart in particular is extremely telling.

I did the math a few years ago because I couldn’t find anyone else who had published it. This is rough and IANAM (mathmagicman).

Every single day 8,000 boomers and above die, and 12,000 people turn 18 and those numbers are actually accelerating. If you use existing data to estimate conservative/liberal and likely voters within those groups it works out to a delta of 10,000 per day on a national scale. That’s 5,000 votes switching every single day. That might not seem like alot. Because it really isn’t. Out of 155 million votes cast, 10,000 is .006 percent. But here’s the thing. It’s cumulative. And it just doesn’t stop. It is relentless. it’s 300k a month, 3.6 million per year. And that pace is accelerating. Between 2020 and 2024 it’s a 15 million vote difference. By 2028 it’s 30 million.

It used to be that people age into conservatism. But that is not happening with millennials. The demographics are changing, and changing quickly. The most conservative group in the country is dying. While the most liberal group is rising.

We just have to hold on to democracy for a few more years. This will all be behind us. Another 10k today.

I have several tumblers. They all get used for different things.

I adore BG3. But fighting the camera is harder than fighting the mobs.

Although it did get easier when I started using a controller to get around and a mouse to fight.

The campaign hasn’t started yet. Right now, it’s a one sided conversation. And the polls are all based on people who answer unknown numbers and land lines. It’s a built in selection bias.

Every single election both large and small since 2020 has been heavily skewed to the left. I’m not saying don’t worry, but dont despair. And work on convincing your friends. That’s the single best thing you could possibly do.

Not Donkey Doug! He’s my boy! I don’t think of him as my boy, I think of him as my boy! Yeah, but it’s more like… “That’s my son right there, son.” But not, like, “son-son”, but, like, “my boy”. But not, like…

The cyber truck is an ugly joke. But the stock will hold up until there is another stylish and popular alternative.

I don’t know why “amp;” appeared. I didn’t write it and it is not necessary. It’s just the and symbol. Followed by t=__s

On YouTube, adding “&t=37s” starts the video at 37 seconds. It is pretty useful.

That is the full extent of my coding knowledge.

Not yet.

That kind of language shift is stupid. Changing words because you don’t like the connotation is just denying reality. The connotation comes from what the word means. It’s not the word itself. Homeless has horrible connotation because of what it is describing. If you change the word, eventually it will gain the same baggage.

Homeless is the perfect example of this because that was the new soft word. It replaced vagrant or bum.

Tap. Tap. It’s not working.

Ahhh. Then yes. Remote works the same. Change the default launcher to FLauncher and it automatically maps it to the home button.

Yeah. It still makes me angry. A few hit piece reviews from people that didn’t play the game, and were just making things up, scared Sony so they canceled the sequel.

But the game is so good and the story is so fantastic that there are serious talks about a movie. Primarily due to the success of Last of Us. If that happens a sequel is possible, maybe even probable.

Sony is the easiest to change all the settings. Samsung is the worst.

I have no idea what a reddit controller is.

FLauncher. It’s even on the Google play store.

Then you have to side load an app that changes the default launcher. But that is also very easy.

That looks interesting. I’m going to get it. Thanks.

Days Gone. Biker in post Zombie Apocalypse. Fucking love it. It was killed by a few bad reviews that obviously only played for a few minutes. The reviews were so wrong it is impossible that it was an accident.

Yes. The bike you get at the very start IS ugly, doesn’t handle well, breaks easily, and runs out of gas. That’s why you upgrade it.

The map is small? Because you haven’t explored anything yet. The map is HUGE. It just isn’t fully accessible at the beginning. You know what other game is like that? All of them.

There’s no fast travel? Liar. Fucking liar. There is fast travel once you get more than 1 location. Which happens about 20 to 30 minutes in. Literally the second mission is go find the settlement.

The gun is terrible? No shit Sherlock. It’s the first gun. Every starting weapon in every game is terrible. Name one, just ONE GAME, that gives you the best final weapon at the very start.

No alternative weapons? Fucking asshole. What do you think all those empty slots on the weapons wheel are for? You have to go get them.

Giving a bad review because your starting gear isn’t good is absolutely underhanded willful ignorance hit piece bullshit.
