Ad hominem

You really had no interest in engaging with me did you? Because I basically fully agreed with you in my previous comment and you said I wasn’t open to ideas.

You don’t think you can affect change outside of your vote?

That’s needlessly dismissive, I was repeating my understanding of what you’d said

I think its quite obvious that the people I’m advising to get out and take action are the people who… aren’t? I’m well aware that action is being taken and that it is growing in numbers, but more needs to be done.

That aside, how does voting third party or abstaining from voting affect change against the issues you’ve highlighted above? Because I don’t disagree with the issues you’ve raised.

I suppose that is a tangible way to affect change under the existing electoral system, so more power to you. I guess, with that in mind, you need to vote third party on an occasion when third party will actually get that 5% threshold, which as you say takes trust.

I’m not convinced that voting for a third party has any positive effect, in one election cycle or over longer time. But I’m open to hearing your perspective.

I mean sure! Take the whole CEO situation and springboard off that, you find yourselves in circumstances similar to pre-revolution France so the conditions are right.

I feel as though there’s a significant amount of extra info that isn’t strictly conveyed here.

The core issue is that you only have 2 real options in america, third parties may as well not exist. So, come election time, your harm reduction option is to vote for the least evil party.

But that’s not the way to solve the issue, and neither is abstaining or voting third party, IMO. The way to solve the issue happens between votes. Picketing, protesting, demonstrating, taking action, making noise. You won’t solve the broken 2 party system at election time. But you do have to actually get out and take action, not just say that you will and keep letting the overton window shift right.

(Take with a pinch of salt because I’m not american)

They do, yes. /srs

You’re thinking of Mac users. /j

It really did so much right. Strong recommend for Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer books if you enjoyed the writing in sleeper.

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to poke me to talk about any of them if you so desire :)

Outer Wilds is an absolute banger, I don’t know how I forgot to mention it.

BTW if you enjoyed OW, play Tunic!

I have a lot of games which were enjoyable 100% of the time, but none which I played for over 100 hours. I’d be absolutely exhausted if I was in “oh neat haha wow!” mode for that long, personally, my dopamine receptors would be fucking fried.

Good luck with your search, and below I have some which fit your criteria outside of the 100 hour requirement.

L opinion. some dubstep is just noise. A lot of it has a lot of beautiful harmony and songwriting. Black midi is a lot more like “just noise”

Pretty damning if true. Paints him in a whole new light. Feeling betrayed.

A mass shooting is not the “only thing they can do except suicide” and that’s a ridiculous argument

I am not certain if the android version has controller support but I do know that they ported it to consoles and PC and those versions indeed do have controller support

Sky: Children of Light is a delightful game from the creators of Journey, and plays sort of like a Journey MMO

It has a splendid soundtrack featuring vocals from the ever talented AURORA, and beautiful visuals. It is also a great social experience, putting a focus on fostering connections and community. It gets regular content updates and its just super cozy!

No pats for me thanks but gay is absolutely right!
