just how bad is the pending oil crisis? commodities day traders on reddit have begun to develop class consciousness

Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!

The completely baseless conspiracy theories about dead and dying evil old men are flying fast, had to unfollow and mute a few folks.

uh oh, how did he learn to walk like that

Looking for informed opinions - do you think it would be a good time for someone with $10-50 million to invest to get into investing in games? Would that actually work or is the ship sinking too fast?

obviously we all miss peak woke 1 but if the crest of that wave was moved even three months it would have led to people using the term "Cuomophobia" in earnest

That game developers don't like "optimizing" or avoid it. Buddy it's like an old man with a model train set over here. We would love to have a job where we do nothing but figure out little platform specific optimizations, but the bosses won't pay us for it!

picking things up is hard.

Historic Parking Lot sounds like a joke but in Seattle, the Historic Preservation Board has marked at least 3 parking garages downtown as Historic along with the curbs in the bulk of the city to prevent street narrowing and to preserve parking. They are running like a pro car coup.

Hey there welcome to the DNC Zillenial Networking Cafe, can I interest you in an Al Gore-chata latte?

Thinking deeply about trains, please do not disturb.

i have interacted with politicians who are extremely sincere that its important to ban social media for teens but also that AI is the most important thing ever, I am not sure if they even realize that these are the same companies that made the social media.

Seattle is 65° F so I need to sit down and listen and check my temp privilege.

ive been working on a video game for a while and havent been paying attention, time to check the news and see if its a good idea to get into the video game business

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Crying as I attempt to release my game on 128MB Sony™ MiniDisc®

Got to the point in this Unity project where the editor crashes half the time when opening it up for the day and needs the library folder constantly deleted

interesting/good news, did you know pretty much all of the major MLMs have gone bankrupt or lost 80%+ more of their value in the past couple of years?

That helps explain why big media, always the handmaiden of power, works so hard to frame climate concern as some fey, boutique, out-of-touch elite concern. They don't want you to know that other people are concerned too. If you knew that, you might organize & push for change! And so we get this:

this is a pretty good overview of the last couple decades of Microsoft throwing its weight around and the rest of the games industry being shaped by those craters. The implicit conclusion is that GamePass itself is a big reason why we are in a massive crash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ3P...

Prediction: the entire economy will crash the day that Grand theft Auto 6 comes out. Wall street is entirely run by 17 year old math students and they will all take the day off simultaneously. No one will be left to update the big economy excel spreadsheet.

Help- where do I get like a decent "menswear" suit off the rack these days, I prefer unusual colors like green or yellow.

It's been two weeks so I guess I'll mention it again: Atlanta's Democratic leadership ANNIHILATED its activist base over four years--Cop City, arresting protestors, sucking up to Kemp--and as a result the volunteer ground army they had in 2020 simply disappeared, and Harris lost by 200,000 votes.

I hate seeing men get scammed like this. Put that money towards therapy and getting a hobby. Therapy will help you be more at peace and the hobby will bring you friends.

Lula at UN: “African countries borrow at rates up to 8 times higher than Germany and 4 times higher than the United States. It’s a Marshall Plan in reverse, in which the poorest finance the richest.” www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/mar... I presented at G20 Rio YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY6Z...

Only semi related to this but I do not like the phrase "a seat at the table" for anything, especially union stuff. It means you're signing up to be a co-conspirator of the power structure and endorse its outcomes. This is not the role of organizing, which is to be in struggle.

I especially love this diagram.

Working at KO_OP has been life changing in the best way possible. Working for a democratically run studio full of trans and queer folks??? They helped me realize I was non-binary. They radicalized me in the best way possible: by being the kindest co-workers that just want society to be better

DSA has won a handful of national elections and the democratic party establishment are already providing cover for the far right to start cracking down on the left

Step 1 of many I hope

This is the rare case where I don't feel old reading this. I slotted the N64 as "30 years old" 20 years ago. It was 30 years old 5 years after it came out.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

In addition to normal urban cooling strategies I did some napkin math and it seems like it should be possible to have a simple ground source heat pump loop and actually efficiently be able to do air conditioning outside, like under a little shelter. Put solar panels on the shelter and why not?

Air source heat pumps and especially ground source heat pumps are almost magically efficient if you're worried about AC destroying the environment in Europe. They will also drastically increase efficiency and lower cost of winter heating too.

There was a graph going around a few weeks ago comparing gun deaths in America vs heat deaths in Europe and 1) This per capita graph works better, and 2) highlights to some extent how much of it is people sticking to their guns... or their lack of air con. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/heat-guns-...

This was so beyond inevitable when they built this senior housing at literally the loudest intersection in the whole neighborhood, it's like someone was just waiting for residents to start complaining, using them for this purpose or just choosing this location w/o adequately considering their needs

apologize to me for winning so much

impressive to go from 'cuomosexual' to a full DSA slate. Nice work!

Lol

Is "burdens of leadership" another code word for western imperialism? I would definitely prefer they not do that, yeah.

No, there is no "nuance" about the Prairieland defendants. Anything less than total condemnation of these prosecutions and sentences is capitulation to fascism. The leopards will eat your face too

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face
