@COMMONSENSIBL3 @unusual_whales Hey, people moving from NY to FL raises the IQ of both locations. So jot that down.
Second, with the property tax revolt, aversion to density, and increasing disdain for new arrivals, FL is clearly becoming red state California, if CA’s natural beauty was replaced with swamp.
English
@unusual_whales Not that the WSJ based in NY would ever write a negative BS article about FL, the same FL that has taken much of NY wealthiest away from them.
English
"Florida’s migration patterns are changing. Residents in their prime working years are heading to other states, while fewer people are arriving," per WSJ

@Brien_Jackson The line had been going down since the 80s mind you. It’s also down from ‘near-unanimous’ to ‘only’ 50ish percent.
At least some of the causes have to predate the internet.
English
I think it was actually more about the impact of potential humiliation on social media, and the binge drinking panic was actually just counterproductive
constans@constans
The “binge drinking panic” of the 90s and 00s of “IF YOU EVER DRINK MORE THAN 4 DRINKS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!” has really paid off.

@agraybee Get people back in public again. People’s brains unmelt as they touch grass and/or get laid. I see nothing but benefits to this aspect of the AI apocalypse really.

I don't see how dating apps survive AI. You literally cannot trust anything but an in-person meeting.

@PaulTassi I was led to believe there was no fail state.

I kickflipped over a road barrier in the intro credits level of Mixtape and died

@weirdbeingg ‘Keep your current job and budget for 6 months while the prize money gathers interest in a CD’ boom, you’re clear.
English
The arguments against this being easy make no sense to me if someone noticed you were more relaxed I don't think they'd assume you secretly have 10 million dollars

@NebsGoodTakes Okay, I fully agree with your point here. But just seeing ‘terrible games, no fail state’ causes me to audibly hallucinate David Cage’s ‘game over is a failure of the game design’ spiel in an exaggerated French accent right here in this Taco Bell.
English
@ManyATrueNerd Eh, I think the formula is, at its base, the same.
‘Summer bike ride through SFHs and also you visit the mall’ is broadly applicable to suburban life from like ‘80 through to, what, the start of Covid?
Also, these stories are all clearly ripping off the same 3 movies.
English
Just thinking about Mixtape again, is it worrying and/or weird that every time there's a new big Coming Of Age thing, it's still most often coded as 80s/90s?
Like, there's been 30 years of people experiencing Coming Of Age since then, where are those stories?
English
@Meelsie143 Republicans got to that position in large part by voting though. Putting all differences aside to vote for the syphilitic game show host in ‘16 is why they have a judicial stranglehold.
Even the weirder stuff like Q-anon is a mechanism to enforce a Vote Red No Matter Who ethos.
English
WE JUST SAW THAT VOTING DOESNT WORK
republicans are just gonna keep ignoring results. what’s the plan, just keep voting anyway? hope that magically changes?
our system is completely fucked. american democracy no longer exists.
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
Instead of violent revolution maybe we try to persuade a lot more people to vote for Democrats than Republicans. Worth a try.
English
@Autism_Squeaks In fairness the King in Yellow is made up of various loosely-connected short stories—pretty sure there’s an entry that’s predominantly a romance?
While I wouldn’t skip, if one specific story doesn’t appeal to a reader it’s not essential to later stories.
English
@nick_field90 ‘In order to combat our backsliding democratic norms, I would simply gather together a durable supermajority coalition!’ Is the armchair politico equivalent of ‘don’t siege Stalingrad, take it immediately.’
English
It's been 30 years since someone won 370+ electoral votes, and that was in a three-way race. And even if this reborn DLC party of yours somehow got this supermajority, the Supreme Court could still strike down whatever they wanted

@nick_field90 60 senate sets by 2029 and ~370 electoral votes

@SimpleSCOTUS While I agree the constitutional system is long in the tooth, the only people remotely well-situated for a convention is the fever swamp far-right.
We’re far more likely to get a nationwide abortion ban from a CC than proportional representation.
English
Every day a Constitutional Convention becomes more of a necessity. This gerrymandering race between two parties is a ridiculous exercise of our broken system.
Congress should be 1) unicameral 2) elected w/ a proportional system 3) uncapped so its size grows w/ the population.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court of Virginia has struck down new congressional map that Virginia voters passed last month.

@2024dion There’s already a whole category of ‘half-backs’ that do this already.

Sorry to my friends in the Great Lakes but these circles are where the ‘climate refugees’ from FL TX AZ are going to move, not inner city Detroit and Milwaukee

@Creetosis22 Someone said Star Fox Assault was a 64 retread shortly after the new announcement-buddy, that’s the canonical sequel! Characters have advanced several years past Andross’s death!
Nobody seemed to care and just complained that there were walking missions sometimes.
English
@Creetosis22 Short-short version:
- SF64 is legitimately one of the best games of its type. Kind of a hard act to follow
- Wii-U version *did* do some things differently even if the overall beats were the same
- The actual canonical sequels have rarely sold terribly well.
English
I've never played a Star Fox game, but I remember hearing the one released on the Wii U was the third time they had done the same game and everything I've heard about this new one sounds the same.
Is there any particular reason the Star Fox franchise is largely just the same game being remade over and over again?
Nintendo of America@NintendoAmerica
The Star Fox Direct is now available to watch on demand! Catch the roughly 15-minute presentation and get the latest details on #StarFox, launching June 25 on Nintendo Switch 2. #NintendoDirect Watch here: ninten.do/6014vMczY

@SirBadOpinions A lot of these pre-broadband games are on Steam, etc with decades of newer editions/performance patches built in, therefore giving the illusion of expert craftsmanship back in the old days.
Fallout 2 was roughly as glitchy at launch as a modern FO, or so I’ve heard.
English
A lot of people have forgotten that a lot (I mean A LOT) of old games were shipped bugged to hell and could never be fixed, ever. There were tons of them back in the day.
Robvolver 🛒@Burnvolver
"Games used to launch finished" is one of the biggest lies old gamers tell themselves.
English
@Razor_Language How do you even access it? I thought it was still in beta. Pom-Pom certainly doesn’t give me a chat window or anything. Let alone bad build advice.
English
@bdquinn Honestly I think that would only result in a D+8 environment judging by current polarization and polling.

Trump first made love to and then murdered a manatee on live TV?
