Peoria Bummer

@Pinboard @MandatoryTopic nothing matters lulz

@MandatoryTopic Yeah, and I pirate cable because of my deep principled stand against Comcast

People unwilling to pay a small monthly amount for a service they use constantly is quite a mood. It's like an endless episode of Cheers where Norm bitches to the bartender that his beer should be free.

@Stake_64 He's going all in for Cinci!

@NGrossman81 Like Tucker's view numbers, you can't prove it's not true.

@PeoriaBummer First Russia, now an intergalactic alien civilization. I should’ve guessed.

Tucker Carlson is now the most watched pundit alive, with hundreds of millions more viewers than anyone else in the world. This is why you see people sharing and criticizing his content so much more now, and why pundits are quitting TV shows en masse to chase his massive success.

Their’re wrong!

@unity Acknowledge your confusion and end the stupid policy.

We want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration we heard after we announced our new runtime fee policy. We’d like to clarify some of your top questions and concerns: Who is impacted by this price increase: The price increase is very targeted. In fact, more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change. Customers who will be impacted are generally those who have found a substantial scale in downloads and revenue and have reached both our install and revenue thresholds. This means a low (or no) fee for creators who have not found scale success yet and a modest one-time fee for those who have. Fee on new installs only: Once you meet the two install and revenue thresholds, you only pay the runtime fee on new installs after Jan 1, 2024. It’s not perpetual: You only pay once for an install, not an ongoing perpetual license royalty like a revenue share model. How we define and count installs: Assuming the install and revenue thresholds are met, we will only count net new installs on any device starting Jan 1, 2024. Additionally, developers are not responsible for paying a runtime fee on: - Re-install charges - we are not going to charge a fee for re-installs. - Fraudulent installs charges - we are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs. We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent. - Trials, partial play demos, and automation installs (devops) charges - we are not going to count these toward your install count. Early access games are not considered demos. - Web and streaming games - we are not going to count web and streaming games toward your install count either. - Charity-related installs - the pricing change and install count will not be applied to your charity bundles/initiatives. For additional questions, we have updated our blog and FAQ resources. ⬇️ Blog: on.unity.com/3ZiIwlB FAQ: on.unity.com/44NMZ0R Forums: on.unity.com/45RgrnV

@bcmerchant @RottenInDenmark He's all "stab in the back" all the time now. The ubermensch are the victims and need to strike back. He's just playing the fascist hits.

this is the funniest thing anyone could ever say about the left at literally any point in history

@unormal Immediately? Less than 10%. A couple weeks later? Over 50%. They'll always have known, unlike those other rubes. Like they knew all along that the Iraq Was a bad idea. Or that Trump would win the election.

What % of people, when it's revealed we discovered exosolar life will earnestly believe that we already knew there was life on other plants?

@SkinnerPm Doing the mundane logistics bullshit that keeps our system running IS service. I wish we respected what people in the military actually do, instead of the Rambo Jack Bauer nonsense we seem to worship. This isn't Sparta. We should thank civil servants.

I was embarrassed when people ‘thanked me for my service’ cuz all I was doing was getting overtime while lighting road flares to keep away suicide bombers that hopefully obeyed the new traffic patterns. I remember being sad about 9/11 but also sad we would stuck on 9/12 forever

To be honest I barely remember 9/11; the aftermath was a blur. I was a ‘first responder’ then (US Capitol Police) and for weeks I stood on Pennsylvania Ave to stop explosive-filled suicide semi trucks…with…a pistol & road flares. Was an early clue how dumb it would get. Yep

@nycsouthpaw Whoever's feet those are is not a "driver" in any sense of the word.

Ok but why is the driver barefoot?

Does she accept this argument from children?

@NGrossman81 @JeffreyASachs Good point. It's like someone looked at the "stab in the back" and is explicitly trying to imitate it.

@PeoriaBummer @JeffreyASachs Worse. Tu quoque points to true things about the speaker's actions that are inconsistent with their argument. But it's a fallacy because it tries to use that to discredit the argument while ignoring the substance. This attempts to justify authoritarianism with not-true things.

"Talking with Rufo and engaging deeply with his work leads to an inescapable conclusion: Exaggeration and hyperbole are not just incidental to his intellectual project. They are his project." @zackbeauchamp says it more politely than I have. But that's it. vox.com/23811277/chris…

@atrupar Doesn't that mean Johnson supports it?

"It's climate colonialism. It's racist" -- Fox host Dagen McDowell claims Biden promoting solar energy in Africa is racist

@NGrossman81 @JeffreyASachs Justifying authoritarianism with one big tu quoque fallacy.

Beauchamp and I recognize right-wing culture warriors' complaints for what they are: not 100% baseless, but heavily exaggerated and distorted to provide rationalization for what they already wanted to do. So have others. @JeffreyASachs, eg, has been especially good on this topic.

@LitMoose blessed are they who weep about network segmentation, for their networks shall be raptured into the cloud
