Dr. Moose, you can sneer all you want, but you're still on the Auschwitz train.

You realize that costing more does satiate the greed a little bit, right?

Like, yeah, we all know that line-goes-up capitalism isn't sustainable, but there are still other reasons call of duty has loot boxes and battle passes now.

We're still talking about ~3 mil to ~150 mil. If the software dev costs for Mario 64 were closer to ~1.5 mil, what does that have to do with the argument being made?

Why not?

I mean, I know she wouldn't. But seriously, think about it, why not? People wanted her to, so why not? People don't want milquetoast policy changes that improve such and such by 2%, they want a hero, so why not? People don't want palestinians to die, so why not?

She was either: an awful candidate because she wouldn't promise anything, or, an awful candidate because she couldn't promise anything.

And yeah, I wanted her to win, but the problems that fucked the last election up still plague the party. If they don't learn, we're all going straight to Trump's gulag.

Your genome also shapes your scoliosis, but I don't see anyone keeping you away from the whirligig inversion table.

Okay, account with three comments: what do you think the point of saying this was? How did saying this make someone's day better? Explain it to me.

If you think that Chuck Schumer selling us out to the Republican double-hitler funding bill this week isn't on some level indicative of the DNC putting a ball-gag in our mouth and bending us over, I really don't know what to tell you.

Man, what if we abolished copyright, but also banned gen AI completely. I think that would be the funniest answer.

Human beings have a soul you can appeal to?
Not every single one, but enough.

Ha ha! We got this one for free!

To be fair, the nazis were pretty fucking stupid too. The evil-cool, machine-like, storm trooper aesthetic they're known for is cultivated, at least by a significant portion, by nazis overseas that wanted them to be likeable.

Some of it is cultural momentum, for sure. I also like Storm Troopers. But nazis really like Storm Troopers.

I do think they have an obligation to be pretty. Pretty things make people happy. It's a contribution to the social project we're all working on.

A walkable city, not that a McDonalds drive-thru is specifically part of that, should have greenery, places to hang out, and pretty buildings to look at. People should like being wherever they happen to be.

If you compare the two buildings in the picture, the top one I'm sure you have to drive to, but it at least looks like an inviting place to hang out with your kids or something. The bottom one almost seems hostile to that idea. And the main reason it even looks like that is austerity. At least I think so. Big gray cubes are cheap to build and easily templateable.
