@vga256 Hmm, the site seems to break a fair bit when trying to load it?
spicy take, that shooting
Honestly, the revolutionary potential in this event is immense.

I think it's excellent, actually, that the cops and media are spending so many resources and attention on tracking down the shooter.
Because they're doing an excellent job at driving a political turning point and possibly a revolution, by continuing to keep the event and its motivation in people's minds for such a long time.
@rune If you're not restricted in what you can change, this is actually achievable - in the commercial construction space there's a lot of stuff like wallpaper you can clean with water, backboards that are trivial to clean, fully-sealed bathroom cabins, stuff like that.
Probably wouldn't be trivial to retrofit into an existing house, but *possible*

I have been thinking about this ever since years ago Julie explained to me that the reason she dislikes graphical user interfaces is they feel like prisons because to a much larger extent they are an experience fully orchestrated by somebody else.

We choose or are required to engage with a person, organization, business, government. They dictate what software to use for the interaction based on what is most convenient and advantageous to them.

The notion that people choose to use computer applications because they are useful at accomplishing tasks is extremely outdated. The vast majority of software use is not voluntary.

My life would be so much easier if things worked like in The Sims. Toilet getting dirty and instantly changing from the "clean" asset to the "dirty" asset? Nice, that's a call to action I can understand.
Meanwhile in real life everything just gets slowly and continually more and more dirty and my brain completely filters it out because it "doesn't look different from yesterday"

Do you ever look at the shape of a toot and go "nah, I'm not gonna read, that it has awful vibes" before reading a single word?

that shooting
@joepie91 direct action works
that shooting
Bunch of healthcare-related companies have removed the pictures from the 'leadership' pages on their sites now.

But like, quickly hopping back to Cyberpunk and taking a really quick shot in photo mode there... I'm kind of sad they're not planning on using this engine again because they have absofuckinglutely stacked it with ray and path tracing options. I think it's the only game I've seen so far that renders the screenshot. Even a quick and dirty half assed shot looks nice in this engine.

It's a pretty inexpensive way to freeze the world and play with composition and lens options.
I also kinda miss my widescreen monitor because it was also a way to play around with very wide compositions. But hey.

Talk about family
"Family" as some control freaks might see it: A group of individuals that you're probably at least somewhat genetically related to that "cares" about you so long as you make yourself fit into some arbitrary pre-determined box and every action you perform reinforces their biases and fragile worldview as well as whatever "news" they recently saw on TV or other hearsay that they're desperately holding onto.
Family as it ought to be: A group of individuals that you may or may not be genetically related to but you've nonetheless settled in with who really values your well-being, wants to see you thrive, and doesn't care about making you fit into some metaphorical box.
the UH shooting, but on a meta level
@ifixcoinops Blue Cross Blue Shield unwisely scheduled their announcement of worsened anesthesia coverage on the day of the UnitedHealthcare shooting... and just announced that they will be cancelling that announced change. "Due to misinformation". Mhmm.
the UH shooting, but on a meta level
@silvermoon82 This does already seem to be happening, judging from the scramble at other insurers to increase executive security, and Blue Cross Blue Shield cancelling their announced change regarding anesthesia coverage.
