I dunno man, being born before automobiles wouldn’t exempt you from looking both ways before you cross the street when you live in a world where cars are commonplace 🤷♀️

That’s not a hot take, that’s empirical fact: https://lifehacker.com/this-chart-shows-how-computer-literate-most-people-are-1789761598
Fixed, but I added a little personal flair to show I really mean business. More fucks == more business, that’s just maths.
Motherfucker spends years taunting the SEC as a paper tiger, thinks he’s winning and oh so clever because they don’t do much of anything, meanwhile they’re building their case brick by brick. FAFO Fuck the fuck around and find the fuck out, I guess; here’s hoping the ban comes through right after the court kiboshes that ridiculous paycheque he wrote himself from Tesla.
California in particular – with large population centers in arid landscape – has seen some movement on xeriscaping, doing landscaping that still looks nice – even if it’s not as tolerant of being walked on. But it’s still really not a norm.
Colorado and large parts of Texas join California in this. In Colorado it’s especially galling to see huge lawns of grass because a.) native flora are very attractive and b.) it is so god damn dry most of the year that it makes California look like wetlands, which exacerbates the issue since grass doesn’t shade the ground as effectively from the harsh sun as native plants do, resulting in the need for more frequent watering. And this is on top of summers that regularly reach the hundreds, and winters that regularly get down into the negative double digits.
This is somewhat mitigated by two things: there are of course fewer people in Colorado than California, and much more importantly, fewer celebrities.
It’s so good for more reasons than just being able to use other mods safely! It’s really nice being able to transition between areas without having to resummon, how some progression/unlocks are shared, and that all connected players get to use Torrent and spirit ashes.
But
There should be a law
Which means it should be a government thing, which means it needs a system, which means it needs an agency. Define the social needs you’re talking about meeting first or this whole post and every response is nothing more than masturbatory nonsense.
Edit: and actually, now I want a proposal for what this system looks like. “People have problems and those should be addressed” is insubstantial to the point of being infuriating.
Person is also provided for their social needs, parallel to the monetary needs.
Here’s the problem in your thoughts: “social needs” are undefined, and they’re different for everyone. Money is a common denominator, a universal tool for meeting material needs pretty much regardless of what they are. You need food? No need to grow it, spend money. You need a pet? No need to go out and domesticate an animal; spend money. You need a house? No need to build it, spend money.
So what you need to do is come up with a common denominator the bridges the gaps between people’s differing social needs, otherwise you can’t systemise meeting those needs and thus can’t build any social/government infrastructure to do so. You need friends? No need to go out and make them, do _____ instead. Need intimacy? No need to primp or preen, do _____ instead.
And then, how do you stop this “social administration” (for lack of a better name) from being corrupted and turned against the populace?
I dunno man, the trumpets still buy whatever shit he shovels out and they don’t seem to have caught on that he’s a scammer yet…
They took arguments that a president should have total immunity from the law seriously, instead of laughing that shit out of the room. What “legitimacy”? And what are the consequences of them losing it? How would those consequences be enforced?
Is it, though? I’m pretty sure the whole idea is to get it before the SCOTUS so they can rule it is constitutional and give states carte blanche to take away peoples’ medical rights, while creating precedent for taking more rights away and making it much more difficult to reverse.
A set of excellent counterpoints. I’d also point out that “gun nut” is quite different than “2nd Amendment nutter”. You’re into guns. Maybe the mechanics, maybe the design aspect, maybe you enjoy shooting as a hobby, maybe all of the above and more. That’s fine, if you’re also a responsible gun owner who secures their weapon, does not leave it loaded when off your person, does not point it at something they don’t intend to destroy, and so on and so forth.
A “2nd Amendment nutter” thinks the 2nd Amendment absolves them of responsibility.
Behold, Libertarians and 2nd Amendment nutters: Your “good guy with a gun”. Aren’t you proud of yourselves?
Fun for team kills where your barbarian throws an enemy bodily into the cloud. Bonus points if the enemy just ran out of it earlier that round. Or, void bulb - I always go out of my way to pick those up.
