I won’t pretend tiktok scrolling is the same as playing games but this had me laughing. Surely the OP sees at least some level of hypocrisy in their judgement, right?

For 40 days democrats did all they could, they refused to compromise. Today they broke that status quo. When you don’t have the votes and you don’t have the message, you have nothing. Dems have failed for 50 years to do what Republicans have of infiltrating all levels of government such as mayors, governors, and judges.

There really isn’t much left for Dems to do except yell loudly, write loudly, or refuse to participate in the process. They’ve failed to get themselves in any strategic position to do anything else.

We should all be mad and upset at them. Theyve failed to play the same game that the Republicans have won at. But short of physical altercations there is very little else Democrats can do

He did already and that’s why we know most dishwashers (in the US) are fed by one line coming from the hot water tap.

What should they be doing otherwise?

This post feels like an advert.

Why is the ring a solid color as if painted over in mspaint? I get it, to make it look like copper, I guess.

Too true. Can’t shape the country unless you’re in charge. We’re in a zero sum political situation now. Gone are the days of bipartisan progress.

I’m not the op but Ill take a stab at their ask because I want something like this too.

The idea is to have a list of tasks which autopopulate based on their time since last completed. Those tasks do not have a schedule due date on them, but a recurrence interval. When the task is marked as complete the system will hide that task until the designated time has elapsed.

This means that when opening the app, you only see tasks that are “overdue” based on their interval coming back up. If I don’t complete the task today, it’s still there tomorrow. If I complete the task, it should not reappear until the interval is up, and that interval should not be dependent on the day the task was completed.

Example task; water plants every 7 days. I want the app to tell me exactly 7 days after I last completed the task that it’s time to water the plants, regardless of whether it took me 3 days to complete the task.

Would love to know if this exists already.

Maybe, but if I wanted to read what a LLM said I’d have asked myself.

Agreed. Newsome sucks and we can do better. I wish we had a system of more parties and less of a zero-sum game

Most lefties with this viewpoint will eventually and begrudgingly agree that they’d vote for Newsome but of course spend the rest of their efforts sabre rattling against him while offering no one who meets their requirements… shrug

Maybe this puts us at a disadvantage but giving up our principles for a common goal is not really how this works.

I struggle to square the statement in the scope of “democracy”. It reads like you don’t want to compromise to reach a solution at all. That’s not democracy. There will always be people who hold positions different to yours and one side is going to have to bend their principals to reach a compromise.

I’m not asking you to accept any particular position here, but if we take a step back from the actual policies of our current time it sounds less like you want a democracy, a system where different views are blended together, and more like a system that only meets “your” views.

Again not an attack on “you” but if everyone has this staunch viewpoint, how can we ever get to a workable system for all?

Also kind of the plot to Childhood’s End by Arthur C Clarke

(Devils instead of demons)

I don’t agree with the first but totally do the second. The Republican party fell in line and bridge divides across factions for the purpose of winning the government. Dems can’t seem to get past their ideological purity tests. Do you really think classic Republicans like maga? Fuck no they don’t, but they like winning and winning keeps them in power.

You have to win to run a government and shape it how you please. Period.

The data labels tell us it’s showing the market cap of these companies at time of acquisition and time of sale for Berkshire positions. It does not tell us how large Berkshires positions were

Oh so they can change the rules any time they want? (They’ve always been able to do this).

Ask yourself, why don’t they change the rules to allow them to bypass Dems and open the government?

Something something they want it closed.

because too many countries benefits from what is going on in the US right now.

Citation needed. Most countries are not benefiting from the trump admin, unless you are Argentina or Israel

Usually due to laws rules and regulations holding their words/actions to account…

News/media sites are aggregators. You are commenting through a service that aims to be an aggregator itself (lemmy).

What do you mean you don’t get it? Not everyone uses mastadon. A lot of people turn to verge to see what’s going on across many different places at once (whether it’s good content or not is besides the point).

You’re being purposefully obtuse with your remarks here.

Regardless, thanks for the direct link

If I wanted to talk to NPCs at length I’d just type into a fucking chat bot. I play games to experience the developers story and vision, not endlessly prompt an npc.

I think your experience will be a common one for players.
