blur, Suede, Pink Floyd.

I don’t know if any of them will tour again anytime soon, but I’d definitely recommend seeing them live if possible. The reason is that it’s beautiful music played honestly. There’s nothing else to it.

We don’t need to. It’s assumed.

Just smurf them in the smurf. Smurfette lets you do that when you’re a smurf.

I had to mention both, because I like them for different reasons.

Initially I didn’t even like Vice City, because it was just an epigon of GTA3 with more lens flare, but the story and not least the music won me over. I know it’s a blatant mockery of Scarface, but that’s what makes it so great and funny.

San Andreas is probably the masterpiece of them all. Maybe it got a little too serious in comparison to previous games, but it managed to portrait a great feeling of freedom and doing whatever in-between the main missions.

GTA V is more like: Follow the arrow through this generic oversized map.

I don’t understand why I would want to buy a new computer so their OS can have their AI do that stuff that they want.

Why don’t they just do it themselves then? I never asked for any of that shit.

If you liked Unreal, you will like Sauerbraten.

It’s not just primes.

GTA V.

I liked all the previous ones, but this was just more of the same on a bigger generic map and a more convulted and stereotypical story. Online never worked for me either. Too buggy.

Vice City and San Andreas were the best of the series.

Map size/design is just more important than size. Same problem in Just Cause.

Fuck cars alright, but as long as I’m dependant on a car, my no.1 reason to get an EV is that I hate the oil industry even more. Fuck their oil and money and pollution and fuck their wars and politics.

The great thing about representative democracy is that idiots don’t actually vote for anything. They only vote for whom to represent them.

I’ll admit, I’m somewhat of an ignorant idiot myself. I haven’t read nor understood the entirety of all laws. That’s why I choose someone else to represent me.

I think it’s only fair that mentally handicapped people are also allowed to choose someone to speak their case.

The problem in US isn’t the idiots. It’s the two party system. In countries with multiple parties, truly idiotic votes would be scattered randomly all over different parties, or they would be placed on the party that represents idiots the best.

That doesn’t work in US, because you actually only have one political party and then the opposition. It’s really easy for an opposition to trick idiots into voting against everything.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.

Where I live, the heavily autistic people or other mental disorders usually move out of their parents home long before the parents die.

They get social security payments and pay rent. If they need assistance, they’ll usually choose to live in condos along with other handicapped people, where services is hired as part of the rent. This can be structured in many ways. For instance as an institution owned by the municipality, as a privately owned institution, or as a self-owning institution which is becoming more popular. Regardless of the ownership, the institution or community gets paid by the government and is subject to the same laws.

Anyway, nevermind the details, the government pays for everything in the end. The point is that handicapped people are not legally incapacitated. They have the same rights as everyone else.

In severe cases, they can be financially incapacitated. Autistic people usually don’t need to, but if so they will then be appointed a legal financial guardian. From experience, I can only stress that it is most beneficial to have a legal guardian that is NOT family. The reason is that handicapped people get a modest social security cheque to cover their expenses. However being disabled and all, they don’t really spend a lot of money, so unfortunately family members acting as guardians find opportunities to start leeching. Disgusting, I know, but it’s unfortunately what happens when they get pursuaded to let a distant cousin to run their finances…

In case you were asking about minors losing their parents, they’ll be placed in foster care. Autistic or not.

I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect and Voyager. By now these all have the options to customize the view exactly how I want it. (Dark mode, tiny list, thumbnails on the right.) I don’t care about clients that can’t do that.

Jerboa was kind of buggy. Maybe it’s better now, but that’s what made me switch.

Connect has a lot of options. The developer is active in the Lemmy community trying to catch up with the bugs that somehow creep into every update. It has the superior text editor of these and also its own tagging system.

Voyager, previously known as Wefwef, is basic and stable. Maybe too basic.

I’m currently using Voyager, but I sometimes still use Connect when I need to quote text from the post I’m replying to while writing. For instance if I need to quote two separate paragraphs or whatever. Can’t do that easily in Voyager. Also when I want to embed pictures in a reply, then Connect is ever so slightly easier. Small differences.

If I were to recommend just one for a new user who doesn’t care about customization and weird options, I’d have to say Voyager, even if I myself prefer Connect. Voyager is easy to use and it’s stable.

Do they have to agree on the answer?

If not, then you can add their experiences. They’ll share some but it’s a net plus.

If they do have to agree, then they can only answer when they have shared experiences, in which case it’d be a net negative.

It’s basically two arrays of binary numbers, either they know something or they don’t, and then you can do boolean algebra to get the kind of answer you want.

In reality you will encounter both situations, and by using dialogue, you can sort out the differences and achieve a higher rate of correct answers.

This way, two idiots can indeed answer more correctly than one expert. However it’s required that the idiots are aware of their own shortcomings.

Lemmy is too small for it to make sense. I can easily read through all threads all the way through the controversial posts and still run out of content daily.

It made sense on Reddit, where accounts could be worth money and/or used for advertising, or some people thought karma points was worth it, or that posts there had influence, which they did for a while. The Unidan affair was only about votes, and showed how a single user manipulated the majority of readers into something that was WRONG ON THE INTERNET, which should be a crime.

Finally there’s also people who view everything as a competition and just want the high score in that imaginary game. Endorphins or something. I’ll admit that I have a longer streak than necessary in some apps too, but I’m no cheater. I wouldn’t get my high off that anyway.

I rarely downvote, but then again, every upvote is like downvoting everyone else, and I surely don’t want to upvote everything.

They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It’s not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.

Yes, that’s because it was. The album Chinese Democracy was basically a solo project by Axl.

I believe it’s called data poisoning, which theoretically could be used to hack something in some theoretical situation.

It’s not the case here. He simply left a turd on the sidewalk and then the AI picked it up.

I don’t think they even care about profits anymore.

Billionaires live in the balance sheet, not the P/L statements.
