I forced myself to finish it. It’s just mass effect 1 but awful. That said, if they just wanted to restart Andromeda and pretend the first one never existed, I’d give it a shot. There’s so much potential in the idea but it was squandered in every possible way

It strengthened/increased the amount of nonliving connective tissue in your skin. This tissue provides a “scaffolding” of sorts to your skin cells to live on. It’s also the reason your skin is more firm or elastic. Fun fact: men and women’s skin have different connective tissue structures due to how hormones interact with your body’s formation of collagen. When trans people start taking HRT meds, their skin texture changes!

Think of it like flour in a cake. It’s a bulky ingredient that serves as a binding agent that helps to evenly distribute the things you actually want in a cake. Sugar, fat, flavorings, etc. Without flour your cake would just be a big goopy mess

Not quite wrapping my head around aegis, what’s the point? It seems like a password manager, more or less

Not to mention the automatic placement of water pipes when you lay down roads. That’ll save a lot of time and allow you to focus on the more engaging aspects of the game more

I’m actually looking at your neighbor to the east! CT seems to be a bit cheaper and a better fit. However I’m open to suggestions for affordable places that would be welcoming to my pinko commie ass

Oh God someone please get me the fuck out of Florida

Or something along the lines of being a background/supporting character in some grand fantasy adventure. The story isn’t about you; you exist within a greater plot that isn’t hinging on your actions. Basically I want NPC the game lol. I’m sure there’s a way to do it in an interesting manner

You do understand that, when being discussed empirically, nonviolent protests often includes riots and looting right? Here you go.. I’d also like to add that your own source states that violent protest is effective. And that nonviolient, nonnormative protests is better at garnering public support. They article states the author personally believes those protests may be better at introducing change. Not that it is. They think it might. For more thorough look into things here’s a video that’s worth your time and consideration.

Riots are the voices of the unheard. The French govt has a long and proud tradition of violently oppressing protests. Things in France have been contentious all year over a variety of issues. What exactly are the French people supposed to do? A letter writing campaign to stop having their rights stripped away? Sit quietly outside of Parliament and ask nicely to stop being oppressed? Politely ask that the pigs only crush their neck a little? If you abhor disruptive and violent political action done by the people, surely you’ve found the non-violent alternative that works better. What is it?

Pretty sure it’s just paid for media hype. This is just the pushback of journalists who were somehow convinced that people actually like zuck now, and/or were paid to drum up more drama around this to drive engagement. This happens a lot. It’s like the distant, braindead cousin of moral panics. I’m not sure what societal harm could come of this constant bickering about inconsequential “discourse” like this but it sure is annoying

Cities: Skylines is worth a mention too! There’s a bit of a learning curve but it’s good fun. And pocket city 2 for a mobile version

Well said, variety is the spice of life! Reddit became very samey over the years. The archive of info is fantastic but who’s to say that cant happen on a federated platform? Things are new and rapidly changing right now, I have confidence that Lemmy and platforms like it will grow into their own and become better than the things it’s replaced. Reddit was long overdue for some competition or correction, here it is

Ba dum tss! For real though, how did he think skipping rent was going to be ok?
