No, but I was admittedly in a very bad way the day I made that post, because some bad news I got, and I didnt realize until after the fact it was making me lash out in undeserved ways.
I say that only, and explicitly, as an explanation, and not as an excuse.
Sorry for being a twat.
Cause the press is afraid of not being able to talk to the ones that want to control you, So they double up by covering up/slanting stories that are critical of the controllers while punching down at everyone else..
Then, like good dogs, they look up at the controllers, panting and satisfied with themselves, begging for masters affection.
The opinion of someone whose never had bowel problems and can't even fathom other people not being like them.
the entire world didnt have to adapt to them, the EU has no regulatory power over websites operated outside the EU, but most websites just simply found it easier to do so, because of the fear that not doing so might turn visitors away, and to sites that do comply.
Just like how USB-C has become the universal charger connector for phones.. its not because the EU demanded it for the world, they just demanded it for their markets, and rather than create phones with USB-C for the EuroZone, and other phones for a different charger for the rest of the world.. they just push out USB-C for everything everywhere as a cost savings (for them, compared to having to run a second line for a different charger)
"The woke liberal left wants to changes maps to make America smaller! Cause they hate America! We will stand against this liberal assault on American sovereinty with the new Trump Map, which shows the true size of America compared to every other country! Order your new Trump Map today for 399.98!"
you gotta really question the mental wellness of someone who starts a company to produce a product that literally makes life worse for anyone that experiences it.
Yep. Still no health insurance. Everything out of pocket, and because its all out of pocket I only go to the doctor once a year, and ignore any issue that isnt worth an ER visit
only existed if you could absorb being price-gouged for your insurance.
The last time i tried to get insurance on the exchange, they said it would be 5 thousand dollars.
I said "5000 dollars a year? that seems high"
they said "Oh, no sir. 5000 dollars a month"
I said "Goodbye" and hung up.
Nope, the issue 99.99% of the time is, and will always be, stupid entitled assholes.
Thankfully its a self correcting problem, since their population will slowly diminish and, perhaps with luck, one day go extinct.
The only death rate on trains I care about is deaths from the train crashing/malfunctions/etc. You know.. Things the train/train operator are actually, legitimately responsible for.
People being fucking stupid and going around barriers and getting hit and killed should not be held against trains.
Trains are not hiding in a bush waiting to jump out and get you when you least expect it. They are enormous fucking things, stuck to rails, and the only way they are gonna get you is if you are a momentously self centered idiot (you know, you're average american) that tries to put yourself in a place where common sense and barriers tell you not to.
Then again, it doesnt matter to anti-mass transit propagandists who love to seize upon any opportunity to say "THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS/EXPENSIVE/UNAMERICAN, WE NEED MORE ROADS AND CARS INSTEAD"
My town currently has 4 highway on/off ramps. one on the far right (where the yellow and green lines start), one in the middle right above my industrial area, one in the middle left, between my farms/logging industry, and a 4th one off screen to the further left that goes to a seaport.
I would assume that traffic would follow the yellow line, using the offramps near their destinations.
instead, ALL the traffic coming into my city, is coming in on the far right and weaving through my surface streets (a 4 lane road, not highway, ring road, and 2 lane connector roads), causing massive traffic headaches and even bigger backups as they try to follow the green line to get to the far left through my city.
Why are my Cims dumb and bombing through the middle of my city, instead of taking the highway?
and another topic.. this torrential crush of vehicles coming in off that one far right offramp regularly causes huge backups for 4+ chunks on the right highway. I have lane mathmatics. I have a very long runup where they have plenty of time to get over. I still get idiot Cims taking the furthest lane just to get ahead of the crush before stopping and trying to merge in right before the offramp.
I miss TM:PE traffic lines.
Not once, since Fallout 4's release, in god only knows how many hundreds of hours of play time, have I gotten the perfectly preserved pie..
UNTIL TODAY.
I jumped up in such excitement that I smashed my knee into my desk and now walk like a feral, but god damnit who cares about pain when you have THE PIE.
These are straight, parallel roads (made with a single drag, so no like, plop a section, then plop another section) on a flat surface. and I keep getting weird gaps and misalignment and other stuff that is observably minor but is making me want to rip my goddamn fucking hair out with how its screwing up symmetry and other stuff.
The only thing I can find about this is to disable various snappings and to make sure the land is flat. I have redrawn this area like 2 dozen times trying various combinations of snapping and not snapping settings and it still does this same damn shit, and the land is flat.
Same here.
Windows EOL is why I switched to linux.
proton is why I've stayed on linux.
I only have windows on my laptop atm, and thats only because of sheer laziness and the fact i dont use it much anymore... will be putting linux on it eventually, though.
