    The trouble is, Nintendo games don’t even go on sale, so you can’t do that. Nintendo used to be the affordable accessible console. Now they’re the opposite.

    I haven’t had a desire to play their games luckily, but the emulators are good. I tried Pokémon Arceus with one and it ran flawlessly. The game was boring as hell from what I played, but I wanted to see how it functioned compared to the older games I know.

    Actually, yes they do I’m pretty sure. Since web searches started getting horrible, the old style of searching using only the important words (and in any order) doesn’t work very well. Part of adapting to whatever it’s doing now, I’ve found using whole sentences works best, for whatever reason.

    Should it? I don’t think so. I think the old algorithm was more useful once you’ve learned how to search. It probably changed because more people with no technical knowledge didn’tknow how to use it properly.



  • I think you misunderstood most of what doesn’t agree with you (purposefully or not).

    Waymo is an investment.

    So is public transport.

    One is more effective and better for more people.

    Why are we investing in Waymo?

    You want to know what’s harmful to discussion? Pricks like you telling people that their opinion is irrelevant.

    Your opinion about right now is irrelevant to the discussion of how things should be. It is not irrelevant in a discussion about right now, only this one. Every time public transport is discussed someone like you feels the need to say “it doesn’t work FOR ME (currently)!” OK… I’m not sure why we needed to know that. No one said it was great for everyone right now so you didn’t add anything to the discussion. It only is a distraction from actually trying to fix things for you. Sometimes this is on purpose and sometimes it isn’t. Either way, it’s harmful not helpful.


  • So fuck everyone who can’t afford to, or doesn’t want to, live in the city?

    What the hell? Were did you pull that from my comment?

    We need to work to improve public transport everywhere. Switzerland can have timely consistent trains to tiny villages in the fucking alps. We can have it here. We need to push for it though.

    People saying “it doesn’t work for me right now so shut up” are actively harmful to the discussion. They’re choosing to be in a position where it doesn’t work at all (though it doesn’t work well for almost anyone in America outside of DC and NYC). I’m not saying “fuck them” I’m saying “your opinion is not relevant if it’s only complaining about doing better because it’s bad for you right now.”

    Its like saying we shouldn’t go to the moon because it’s hard right now, or we shouldn’t try to develop nuclear fusion technology because it’s hard right now. I don’t care if it’s hard right now. We’re discussing what could/should be.




  • The issue is laws must be written to cover more than just a single case. I may agree it would be fine for this case, but the law must be written to cover other future cases. Then it’s up to the discretion of judges to rule on future cases and apply the law as they see fit.

    The issue is that we can’t write perfect laws that will never produce bad outcomes. We can’t trust all judges to be perfectly moral and upstanding and also perfectly accurate in their judgment. In a world with perfections, I could maybe agree with it. That’s not the world we live in.






  • Dude, they’ll watch porn either way probably. It’s more likely if you make it taboo that they’ll get into some weird shit. If it’s normalized then it’s not some mysterious thing they need to discover on their own. Your thought process is what leads to kids watching porn too young. They’re going to learn about it, like you did from older friends. If your parents made it normal to discuss maybe you’d be healthier.
