  • Is it something actually meaningful or is it just general choices through your day?

    I’ve turned the meaningless stuff into a game with people I know. If it’s just a decision effecting me, I’ll text someone and say “pick a number 1-10”. I’ll assign even or odd to “do x” or “don’t do x” and depending on what they pick, my choice is made. If it’s a group decision (go to bar, stay in, where to eat, what movie, etc) then I have an app on my phone for “Spin the Wheel” and we spin it to see what choice is made. We “leave it up to fate” now lol.

    Also, if you feel really strongly about something but don’t want to commit, it can help push you. If I really want to eat somewhere but don’t wanna force it, I either have to accept a different choice or make myself do it. Anyone is “allowed” to intervene before the wheel has done to make their choice known.

    We also don’t do best 2 of 3, or respins. It’s ond and done; fate is never wrong.


  • I had a similar issue with my Civic from the factory. Not to take their side on it, but same issue. Driver side rear light, and the section on the trunk.

    I took it as an opportunity to do some work on my own, and replaced all the rear lights (the single replacement OEM light was like $200, and a new set of sequential LED lights was $300 and looked much better). It’s not too bad of a job, took me an afternoon cause I’m way overly cautious with stuff. Around the same time frame too; mine is an '18 and I did it in '21 I think.


  • What about the current president asking for protestors to be shot in the legs? That seems pretty threatening, especially when viewed apolitically. Where are the repercussions for that?

    He also called for Israel to “get the war over with” instead of dragging it out. That seems like pretty implicit calls for increased violence. Are there repercussions for that?

    There are a hell of a lot of free speech purists until it’s something they do not like. A lot of violence being called for, until it’s against people they feel do not deserve it. Standards are being applied differently depending on what side you’re on. This isn’t to say that you do or don’t support the president or the things he or his supporters say, but there are clearly 2 different applications of censorship being used. One side has 0 restriction and celebrates it, and the other side is dangerous and needs to be silenced at all costs.











  • Honestly. Leave it to EA to take what was a winning, recurring formula and shitting on it til irrelevancy. The fast, twitchy movement, weird tools, etc are not what made BF fun. You’re supposed to feel like a cog; nothing special, another soldier in your small squad looking for the small wins. Those don’t get clip farmed, though, and it’s a CoD/Warzone economy right now. I do have some hope with the gritty WW2 games like Hell Let Loose and Enlisted seeing some success, it’s swinging back out of that type of genre and back to the BF roots.

    Question remains, the big issue may be progression and the definitely happening micro transactions and battle pass, and their implementation.




  • I’m not a big Fediverse proponent, like…the concept is good, if not still a little young (activity pub isn’t ironed out across mediums and is still a bit jank in my opinion) but it seems a bit like a cash grab to be the savior dev making all the X-equivalent of Fediverse, and just hopefully something sticks. With PixelFed blowing up, feel like Loops is gonna take a back seat for quite a while.
