I’ve been saying since EVs hit the market that I couldn’t wait for them to be cheap enough used for me to justify purchasing one. That hasn’t happened yet. Most I’ve ever spent on a car was $7k.

This isn’t my POV, this is the reality of the performance conversations I’ve been involved with.

Pick one
I upvoted your comment for being insightful, not trying to dismiss what you’re saying. I get where you’re coming from, and I agree that what you’re saying is likely true for most businesses, but there are other people who’s reality of conversations they have been involved with resulted in being fired unfairly.

This just makes me sad because until today my only association with Baraboo was whimsical childhood memories of the circus there.

I find this opinion hard to reconcile with Lemmy users’ general stance that Reddit/Google are in the wrong for using comments to train AI without asking permission.

Good for him, glad he’s found what makes him happy and that he has the freedom to do it.

I mean, whether they are natural or not shouldn’t matter. The “shallow decision making and poor choices” are just as accessible to a leftist woman. It feels kind of yucky to be setting standards for how you think it is acceptable for women to present themselves, regardless of whether they are on the same side of the political aisle.
“We can shame women for how they choose to present themselves as long as they disagree with us about Palestine” is a weird take when you examine it for what it is.

I don’t know, there’s nothing morally wrong with her makeup and face. If she happened to be a leftist but otherwise looked the same, I doubt we’d be rushing to the comments to mock her style. This is alienating to women who are like minded to us but have a similar sense of fashion to Boebert.

Hitler’s mustache is now so closely associated with nazis and fascism that we would rightly mock anyone who unironically kept their facial hair that way. Lauren Boebert’s eyebrows don’t feel like they deserve the same treatment, since it is very normal for many women with leftist values to keep up their appearance in a similar way. The eyebrows are not the problem; her beliefs are.

We both think that she’s an idiot. Why does she have to look stupid? If some right wingers were talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this way we would find that repugnant.

Respectfully, I think there are plenty of legitimate criticisms we can make without resorting to making fun of her appearance.

Edit for clarity: Imagine if you were a woman who disagreed wholeheartedly with Lauren Boebert, and found her a wretched human being, but happened to look a lot like her. Then you see others who think like you do attacking her appearance.
Why would we create an environment that alienates people on anything other than ideological or moral grounds? The only people our criticisms should repel are people with dangerous ideologies that we don’t want to be associated with.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, “Join our Discord”. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme’s genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools…

I’ll use our Strength of Thousands game as the example. We are level 8, and our party consists of a wizard, a witch, a ranger, and an oracle (me). I have her built as a support character because that made sense with the party comp and oracular curse (cosmos).
Needle darts and electric arc are my two reliable damage cantrips, but they are outperformed by the other caster’s spells and the ranger’s weapon attacks. My noteworthy leveled damage spells are inner radiance torrent (signature) and Ymeri’s mark, but their damage never seems worth the cost when compared to supporting my allies. Particularly because my best damage is less than other players’ average.
Most of my turns usually focus on buffing and debuffing, or healing when necessary. Some frequent options off the top of my head are:
*Protective Ward
*Fear (+3)
*Bon mot
*Heal (Signature)
Often I try to apply a status only to learn the target already has a status so mine doesn’t matter. I guess it’s just frustrating because no matter what niche I try to occupy in the party, I’m always outperformed by someone else.
This was also the case with 2 different druids I’ve made and a barbarian in other campaigns.

Cool, thank you! I’ll hang on to these for if we start a new campaign. We’re past level 5 in both our games right now, unfortunately.

Basically, yeah. It feels like any time I pick a feat or spell, it’s just bad. Every combat I feel useless. I asked some of the more savvy players in my group for help, and we completely revamped my character sheets and handwaived it as a giant retrain. Now my characters don’t suck, but I also feel detached from them because the options I picked for my character concepts aren’t part of the build anymore.
That’s why I was hoping to find a library of characters that I could pick from, to at least find one I can get behind.

Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?

“You can’t have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them.”

“You can’t have CEO’s worried about whether the DA will go after them.”

“You can’t expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them.”

“You can’t expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them.”

Fine, I’ll say it. Doritos and peanut butter go well together.

Terraria was released in 2011, and still gets free updates with similar frequency to Stardew. Minecraft alpha was released in 2010.

Sure, Eric won the cozy farming genre. He is also clearly passionate about the game. Maybe looking out for his own health is exactly why he continues to dabble with the game.

The title seems to imply that it’s a bad thing? Why should he let go of it? Should Minecraft devs let go? Terraria?

I’m in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn’t ever consider buying anything from Tesla.
