It's my understanding that Russia needs Ukraine if it wants to hold on any hope for future prosperity, and it has unlimited fossil fuel resources to finance the war as long as necessary.
Additionally, Russia has a far greater capacity to eat casualties in comparison to Ukraine.
It looks a bit bleak unless Ukraine is fully backed by a collaboration of western powers, and, for a variety of bad reasons, the U.S. is fucking that up.
I've had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you're right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.
I never have enough time for games, but I loved this one so much that I made time.
The visuals were amazing. The story was decent, and the gameplay kept me engaged.
I especially liked the second island. Hallucinating on a tropical island while battling inner demons was a perfect intermission between acts.
I have yet to fork out $80 for Yotei though (I want it, but that's pretty steep for me). It seems most reviews say it's got a lot going for it, but it's just not Tsushima.
Like a couple other competitions, a lot of times it felt like watching golf to me.
I loved watching the highlights, but much of it was too slow moving and low energy for my attention. I'm not sure I care for the sanitized version of skateboarding it promotes.
Glad it was a thing, but definitely not the first thing I watch to get amped up to skate.
That may be true to an extent, but pay has stagnated more and more each year.
Adjusted for inflation, a teacher's salary in 1969 was well over $77,000. Today is at $60,000, with purchasing power being substantially lower.
In order for that argument to be valid, the country would have to be run as if it could see beyond the next financial quarter.
It is currently being run as if they are selling off parts of a stolen vehicle for scrap money, and maxing out all the cards they found inside.
Dumb question, but...is Claude worse than GPT or Gemini?
I was under the impression that it was the lesser of evils
The green dot beside your name tells everyone you're online on your phone, and likely saw the notification.
Fuck.
I'm reminded of that early South Park episode where Chef explains that the best way to make a baby cry is to first give it candy.
Then, once the baby is happy, only then do you take it away.
The best way to hurt people is to lift them up first, so the fall back down hurts twice as much...
This, and accidentally legalizing hemp weed are possibly the only positive things to come out of this whole debacle
All of these came on basic airwave stations in my area. (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, UPN, WB, PBS, etc.,).
It wasn't until later that they were syndicated and played on cable TV.

That's wild. I switched to piefed.world and was unaware
A decent pirate community already exists on lemmy at /c/piracy.

I got the original STEAM Deck, and it has been a godsend for emulation.
It handles Switch titles with upscaling, and even PS3 games. It struggles with Skate 3 on PS3 though, which is the main one I'd like to play.

One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I'm old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn't happened yet.
Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.

Thinking of things in terms of what's good for the country might not be informative of the motivations here.
Most of the terrible decisions are a net positive in regards to the personal enrichment of the administration's associates and power-players.
As long as they spin it as a positive to the gullible voting populace, it doesn't matter what the administration does.

Highlights were dope though.
Even Newman's Own (a non-profit) is $4. $6-$10 is normal in my area, and it's one of the least affluent areas of the country.
Well, he inadvertently kept that promise...
The people that are open to exploration and travel are generally not the ones opposed to progressive city planning.
The fear-based mindset opposed to change at any cost is not exactly conducive to exploring other cultures.
