to be clear, it is fine if you just want to dick around! that's what i mostly do on here. but the idea that "you're giving up the fight to influence people by not using X" is belied by the fact that effectively *no one* uses X. and i don't see any of the "use X!" people on tiktok or youtube.

I’m sorry, but the amount if complaining about doing 1000 battles in a game centered around battling has never really resonated with me. Especially with how quick battles can be in the game.
But also 999 megashards can actually be had fairly quick

People get absurd about e-bikes.
No, they are not motorcycles. Motorcycles go MUCH faster than the fastest (legal) ebikes.
Class 3 ebikes can do a maximum of 28 mph and you are doing most of the work to get it there. Electric assist is only doing like 1/3rd of the work.

Between tariffs and rising RAM prices I am sure the Switch 2 will rise in price sooner rather than later. I am glad we got ours at launch.

I hate when people refer to consoles that are out as “next gen”. No! If the consile is out, it is current gen!

Pre-PS3, console generations lasted about 5 years.
The PS5 is now already 5 years old. This is the longest I have gone without buying the new Playstation and chances are, I will never own the PS5

I used to follow back a lot on Twitter until I learned that sometimes people that follow you can be kind of awful and people I don’t want to associate myself with.
Got burned a few times with my follows so now I am fairly selective. Bluesky is no different for me.

Only one US brand in the entire top 10 and Toyota has a huge lead with the top 2 brands
please take a moment to appreciate Tesla's epic accomplishment of coming dead last in the auto industry in reliability, despite making relatively expensive cars with a tiny fraction of the moving parts

The UK is so weird. What do you mean “City of London” doesn’t refer to the whole City of London and instead only refers to a 1 square mile portion near the center?
What do you mean “Greater London” doesn’t refer to the whole metro area and only refers to a single city?

Although neighborhoods and their boundaries are not really official, the city of Chicago does have a shapefile for some of them. Most of the neighborhoods are not represented here though.

As opposed to neighborhoods (which often have the same names as community areas), community areas are officially recognized by the City of Chicago. Even if they no official use.
So Chicago has 77 areas officially recognized by the city.
Do other cities have this many official areas?

Not the biggest fan of euthanasia but
1) the bill is crafted specifically to avoid the scenario you fear
2) Illinois has passed bills to make it easier to build housing (especially the passage in the transit bill)
3) Illinois has passed good healthcare bills

Gov. JB Pritzker signs 'right-to-die' legislation for terminally ill people to end their lives in Illinois
The new law, which takes effect next September, opens the door for people 18 or older with a terminal diagnosis to be prescribed a fatal drug.

Why on earth would you advocate for this after seeing the brainrot happening with the remaining liberal and left-wing accounts that remain?
You should be advocating for even more loss from the Nazi site

The “if one incident happens that is as bad as a mass shooting everyday” logic makes no fucking sense
Australia has the gold standard of gun control and still they find guns and kill the innocent.

If the decrease in MAGA is because they see the Republican party and the MAGA movement as the same thing more now then it means nothing.
If they think there is a meaningful difference and this is the result, it is slightly good.

As an avid observer of algorithms I think I’ve figured out part of what happened here.
FB now explicitly looks for and directs posts you’re opposed to into your feed, to rage-bait engagement.
So now my posts are being actively boosted into people’s feeds of who reject climate. Ha! 😄😵💫

In 2018, Meta decided “clean energy” and “climate change” were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them.
I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is 😳

It is kinda funny how many things in Illinois have French names and yet we are not one of the states where French is a major foreign language. Spanish, Polish, and Mandarin are all more common.

Mike Simmons is my current top pick for the 9th District race
There are lots of good progressive options that I greatly respect and won't be mad if they won
But he both deeply understands this community and has a proven track record of getting stuff done for trans Chicagoans

Less photo ops, more fighters!
The 9th District deserves more than just someone who will vote the right way and say the right things. We need a Representative who will be an active champion for our rights, especially when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.
