Perhaps taking care of Clifford is what they do. The government just pays them to do it, and helps cover the costs, because the alternative is having Clifford rampaging around the city completely uncontrolled. They’re functionally zookeepers for kaiju.

That raises an interesting ethical concern. Should a 100’ tall woman have equal access to housing assistance? You could house hundreds of normal sized people for the same resources it would take to house her, but is she not deserving of the same benefits other people receive? Is it greatest good over equality?

Maybe that’s what he looks like when he’s been excessively drinking. I hear he does that.

There’s a surprising number of now-deceased Cybertruck owners who would still be alive if they’d had doors that open; that sounds like a pretty good value prop.

Neither. Clearly it’s a Magic Eye image.

What the fuck

Look who’s posting. Anyone who isn’t a literal communist is just too imperfect for them. Don’t you dare criticize Russia or China or North Korea, though.

It’s the ‘tan suit’ criticism with these people, just disregard them.

This sounds like the Train Simulator of driving games, which I’m sure there’s a market for. I think it could have more mass appeal without compromising the vision if you included a set of in-game goals like visiting various landmarks, obeying (or disobeying) road rules, or whatever else.

Depends on the conviction. If it was something that was settled in front of a judge with police as the primary witnesses, I probably wouldn’t care. If it was a serious crime decided by a jury, I’d give that a lot more weight.

This is likely more disruptive and annoying for the people working there, who then have to manually create a ticket and enter it into their ordering system, vs. an online order that does that automatically.

In the 90s? Sure.

“A man was murdered beside me during my meal.”

“It was you! You murdered your dining companion!”

“That doesn’t change the facts.”

I tried to go to the wikipedia page for ants, but the text was way too small. I’m just going to stick with wikipedia for humans.

LoK: Blood Omen was a fantastic game. One of my all-time favorites. Let’s be real, here, though: It doesn’t even have 12 hours of gameplay, unless you count the time spent futzing around waiting for the areas locked by the in-game timer to open, and it’s one of the longer games in the Legacy of Kain series.

I would never say “Sorry your dog died 😭”, because emoji by their nature add too much levity to such a statement.

I think this depends heavily on which ones you use. The simple ones like 🙁 are fine (IMO); they’re often autocorrected from :( which I’ve never seen as making light of the situation. I use those a lot just to indicate the tone of a message. There’s a big difference between “I’m so sorry 🙁” and “I’m so sorry 😉”.

Start it at like, 7’, but have it slowly lower at a rate of, say, 1 inch per 5 minutes. See how long it takes people to notice.

This is interesting; specs look pretty solid for the price. Notably this uses DDR4 ram vs. the DDR5 in the Steam Machine which, given the current… situation… probably contributes a lot to the price point seeming reasonable.

I’m not sure what ‘pay what you weigh’ entails, but I’m also not sure where you’re seeing any indication that that’s what this is. By my read, it’s just a grocery store that sells essential items at an affordable baseline price. I would expect the result to be that those items will become cheaper elsewhere in the city, too (as other shops adjust prices to compete), while items that aren’t stocked in the new stores (e.g. cigarettes, lottery tickets, liquor, etc.) will become more expensive as they need to drive profits at those other locations. Personally, I’d call this a major net positive.

This is me any time I’m going somewhere. If I have to get on a plane at 1PM, I’m arriving in the airport at 9AM at the latest. Otherwise, I just feel increasingly anxious the longer I wait. I’d rather spend three and a half hours sitting in a terminal than be stressing out about whether I’m going to make it in time.

“Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome pope?”
