And concerning Spotify: I read they pay an artist at most a third of a cent per streamed song. I think they’re ripping off the artists.
While Spotify doesn’t make artists much money at all, I think the focus should really be on the record labels. Labels are dinosaurs and really have no business being so prolific in today’s music industry. If I had to choose between waging war on Spotify or labels, I’d be coming for the labels first.
Yeah, they’re fantastic for, uh, “vases”
This is really a shame. Insurgency is one of the best FPS games I’ve ever played
You’re just saying tea tea
I guess maybe some people want to get it without using Steam? But yeah this was my thought too lol
I missed the whole server debacle at launch, but I did play a few matches after the first week. I really want to like the game, but the lack of voice chat really kills it for me. The ping system feels lackluster and unintuitive, and trying to coordinate with random teammates is frustratingly difficult. If you have a full squad on discord I can see it being a ton of fun, but as a soloQer I’m gonna pass on this for a while
Translation: War. War never changes
‘You fucking donkey’ is a personal favorite
I’ve still got my DVD copy of Black Sheep somewhere. Beautifully toes the line between horror and comedy
Oh man, Rubber was such a fun movie. I’d almost forgotten about it!
Army of Darkness
They said terrible films, not the greatest horror film of all time
Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but besides the performance issues at launch this looked like a really enjoyable game. Maybe the main issue is that the genre is relatively niche? That coupled with the recent big releases
I’d everyone else died of old age and you are the last, would you still want to leave the earth better than you found it?
Yes. Humans are not the only thing existing on this planet, and I find it rather arrogant to treat it this way. If I’m alone staring down the heat death of our universe? Well it doesn’t quite matter anymore.
Would you take comfort in or be indifferent to the happiness you brought
Absolutely. This is probably more nurture vs nature though. I’m very much an atheist but was raised in a strong Christian household. I’ve shunned the religious aspect, but “Love your neighbor as yourself” is pretty much ingrained in my DNA at this point. I find happiness in bringing it to others.
As for ideas of good and better, of course they are my own opinions and based on experiences of others. There is no objective “good” and “better”, because there is no objectively true meaning to life. For me personally, doing what makes me happy would include eating good food, drinking good whiskey and listening to punk rock. Those are not objectively good, but they are good to me. I will share them with likeminded people, and I will find other ways to better my neighbors’ lives.
This is quite the existential question! Of course, there’s really no “right” or “wrong” answer, and there are so many different ideas on what the meaning of life is.
My opinion? There isn’t one. The fact we exist at all is a wildly random event, and the fact we are conscious of it even more so. Life is meaningless, so we create our own meaning. For me, the meaning of life is to strive for happiness (not BE happy, we can’t be happy 100% of the time), bring happiness to those around me, and leave the world better than I came into it. I don’t give a shit about legacy, since I won’t be around to enjoy it. The only legacy I care about is that I made life better for the people I love.
Treat others with kindness, be mindful of the world you live in, and do more of what makes you happy.
I’m all for ending the exploitation of workers in this country, but I’m curious how this bill will pan out. One big part of someone doing contracted work is that they cannot be required to abide by specific work hours dictated by the company. As of now, these delivery people decide when they want to work. Will DoorDash now set specific hours for their drivers? Will drivers only get paid the hourly wage when actively on deliveries? There are a lot of details I’m curious about here
I don’t have an answer for you, but I’ve dealt with this same thing my entire life. It’s not a conscious decision, I just find that I never fully complete a task I set out to do. The number of games I’ve dropped 80-90% of the way through is staggeringly high. My home projects always get about 75% done and then are left alone, doomed to be unfinished. The only solution I’ve found is to set smaller goals. Tasks that require multiple sessions of activity before completion are very difficult for me and I quickly lose motivation. I also struggle with completing tasks if I have any sort of interruption, such as getting a phone call or stopping to make dinner. This is why I gravitate toward esports for gaming. I can complete a session within an hour and nothing is left open-ended. The problem there is that I actually prefer playing longer, story-driven games, I just can’t keep myself focused on them over multiple sessions

I mean, they kind of are, right? We just pay all of our tolls up front in the form of vehicle registration
Used to, but I haven’t touched the stuff in almost a year now. Started making me anxious/paranoid more often than not
Pedal Steel. First time I saw one played live was at a Bright Eyes show when I was in high school. I know they’ve been around for a long time and are prominent in country music, but watching and hearing it played in person just blew me away. I feel like the instrument conveys so much emotion in its sound
