Wouldn't that be the case with most people who've moved to a new area? Like, presumably unless they're there for work, school, or family or a spouse they moved because they wanted to get out of wherever they were. I'd imagine that if you go to Ohio and ask people how they like it, you'd probably find more people who are happy living there.

Mushrooms are pretty loud talkers, tbh. Just gotta listen to the right ones. 😂

This is the problem with spending millions of dollars on games and focusing on profitability over actual quality or expression. Video games are fundamentally an art medium. You can choose to make some uninspired cash grabbing trash, and can even make a whole company built around that and make profit. But are you going to make a great game that way? Probably not.

You'd be better off with half a dozen people with passion and a comparatively minuscule budget. You might have to scale back from ultra realistic graphics and massive explorable areas with dozens of voice actors, but I don't really think that makes games any better anyway. A little 2d rpg with really basic pixel graphics can put a big project to shame if it's made with passion and emotion.

Given the responses in this thread, it seems that the same bias exists even in ostensibly leftist spaces. Yikes.

Y'all need to get out more.

The money from energy companies dripping from both sides of this interview is disturbingly clear. My only hope is that where CNN is clearly grilling Harris for the interests of their investors (energy companies), Harris' evasive responses are there to assuage the concerns of those investors long enough to get into office. She's talking out of the side of her mouth for someone and probably needs to to get in office. I just hope that at the end of the day she sides with Earth and humanity over evil incarnate. I think she will, but she has to walk a tightrope to get there.

If I'm wrong I'll probably be part of a literal chorus of leftists looking to make it extremely clear that she can be a one-term president if she doesn't find her way to doing the right thing.

Using someone else's IP, such as claiming that something you're distributing is an episode of their show, most certainly qualifies for a valid DMCA takedown notice.

For the past few years I lived out in the suburbs where buying anything meant either driving around and doing a whole thing or ordering something online and getting it a day or two later. I ordered everything.

Now I'm back to living downtown in a small city, and I've literally used Amazon only once in the past three months, to buy something that isn't available locally. It's much nicer.

I feel like this would be much better suited as an article. Or like, at least with a synopsis. An hour is a long time to watch some guy sitting with his phone in his hand without at least having a preview of what he's discussing.

Check out this modern day Holocaust-denial level bullshit. Eventually this will be known to be just as malicious. It's weird that it isn't already.

Putin only pays to derail Democrat energy.

Oh, sorry, and Xi.

Taking a quick look at some population density maps, it's not hard to see why this might be the case. The US is very spread out in comparison to the world's denser population centers, and even in comparison to Europe. Buses and trains connecting cities and towns not only have further to go, but the funding for them is more spread out. We've got pretty robust subway and bus systems in many of our metro areas, with New York and Boston being particularly notable, but if you want to leave the city you need a car. That means that we're going to have to cater to that kind of transportation to a greater degree than a smaller country that can easily connect most of its populace with public transportation.

In a lot of the US, if you don't have access to some sort of personal vehicle or a taxi service, you're not going anywhere without a major hike. There are some cases where this could be improved, like extending commuter rails further, but it's not a fix for everywhere.

Also, in the case of states with low population density they both lack the funding and the public support for increased public services like robust transportation. Some of these payee states that can't cover the cost of their own roads anyway are skeptical of supporting public services, and their conservative legislature seems to like it that way.

We can definitely do better, but sometimes I feel like the folks who say we should just get rid of cars and all take public transport have never been out in the sticks.
