International students at US universities are 1% genius level students with full ride scholarships and maybe even grants. 5% student athletes with full rides, and likely NIL packages now. 94% children of rich parents that can afford the full tuition price and an apartment + allowance for their children.

I’m only buying dlc for games I already have.

Yes, but they aren’t as young of an audience maybe idk. One bad thing in common isn’t too bad.

It comes down to jealousy. A manager can’t possibly make less than their direct reports is a common thought process, especially when both positions are salaried. Some companies are willing to buck the trend and pay at least first or maybe second level managers less than some of their reports at times.

It’s actually somewhat common for roles with commission or tips to make more than management. This also happens with roles that get paid overtime.

I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m saying it’s been used as justification for things that have little to do with climate change.

The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.

I’d skip the middle man and put them in the trash.

More proof this is the dumbest timeline.

Blaming the Republicans for the Democrats is exactly the point the OP is making. Nixon and Reagan didn’t make Clinton rape anyone, order an illegal war, or likely have dissidents murdered. They didn’t make Obama also engage in an illegal war in Libya. Those were choices they decided to make, they had the option to be better.

There’s the older elder scrolls games, or Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind. There’s mods that change Skyrim up like ordinator. There’s not much thats really like Skyrim.

If the sequels were successful, it likely would mean there weren’t a bunch of mediocre to terrible star wars shows dumped on Disney plus. That would mean there’s less blatant culture war bullshit out in the universe, which would reduce the backlash which Trump leveraged to win.

If the sequels were successful there would be less corporate shills calling people to stupid, sexist, racist, or bigoted to understand it. That leads to less people spiraling into the extreme right.

If the sequels were successful, it may have helped movie and theaters remain more relevant through Covid. This could lead to more of the social contract remaining intact post 2020. Trump wouldn’t be as able to effectively weaponize the loss of the social contract preventing a 2024 reelection.

If the sequels were successful, Disney would have more money and goodwill. That could lead to more effective lobbying for non trump candidates.

If the sequels were successful, we could have gotten a grnf story of the old heroes transferring the reigns to the young new heroes to lead the next generation. This could have had a substantial effect on the psyche of elderly leaders who bow out of races to support younger candidates that are far more appealing than Trump vs Hillary.

Maybe there is a point to this.

First rule of rocketry, always assume it will explode.

It really depends on what you are comparing against. A temperature taken in direct sunlight at human height in a paved parking lot is going to be well over 10 degrees different than a grassy area shaded by a building. Even if they are adjacent areas. Proximity to a large body of water can easily change the temperature by 5-10 degrees.

A weather app is going to present a temperature that trys to average all of that for a fairly wide area.

I think the game just has too many mechanics and it doesn’t work that well together.

The death of the touring car, and even the sedan really sucks. We need more large 4 door cars that can fit four adults comfortably with reasonable trunk space. My first car was an old Chrysler LHS and it’s still the most comfortable car I ever drove.

That was one of the last old people brands, especially with the vinyl top.

It happens once they get off the ice.

The line I like is “you can’t outrun your fork.” Weight loss is 99% about the kitchen, bodybuilding is probably about 75% the kitchen.

There used to be semi regular Posts tracking posts and monthly active users. You might be able to find them. Over the past couple years, there’s been a consistent flat to negative trend in activity, the general consensus to this wasn’t concern, some were even happy.

That’s all Lemmy has is meme and shit posting, and even those are getting slower.
