Simple question that answers this for me:

Where is the centaur's junk? That's where the button-fly goes.

Lock screen widgets were a neat idea but the original implementation was ugly as hell.

Just let me put read-only widgets on the lock screen.

This is like saying "my email provider should block all emails from Gmail".

And they can hoover your data right now. Like, you think bots aren't spidering the site already? It's a public website.

Which is why immigration is still important, as long as we're focusing on bringing people who will be filling needs to help with our various crises.

Doctors, nurses, builders, etc. Not business students.

It's kind of a moot point anyways? I mean, how good do you think they're going to be at parrying under this circumstance? They're both gonna get stabbed in the chest.

I think the problem is the reporting: it says "retail stores" right in the headline. Which sounds insane.

"Netflix to open themed restaurants and gift-shops" sounds... well, still insane, but less-so.

But did you die .gif

Stop running so many redundant school bureaucracies for one thing. Why do the Catholics need their own publicly-funded school boards?

A reminder: rent is the purest form of supply/demand in the housing market. Nobody rents multiple units to sit on them the way people do to buy them. If prices are going up, that means vacancy is low and there just aren't enough units to rent compared to the number of people who are looking for a unit. Landlords hiking prices are hiking prices because somebody will pay that higher price.

The solution has to involve either building a crapload more units, or having less people who need housing (as always, Malthusians are invited to go first). Anybody who is proposing other approaches to this problem is either a con-man or an idiot. You cannot redistribute your way out of a shortage.

This was solved 30 years ago in Star Control 2, with a non-Newtonian Hyperspace that kept vast distances still feeling vast and made fuel important, while in-system travel was still free and newtonian. There are plenty of options between "fast travel all the things" and "1:1 model of the absolute terrifying emptiness of space" -- and even then, the "1:1 model of vast emptiness of space" is still kind of doable, if you're willing to make the hyperdrive flexible for the various increments of in-system/interstellar travel. The hard part actually would be modeling the surfaces of planets in a way that makes the player forced to land at the "interesting" parts of the planet instead of letting them explore the entire surface of boring procedural-generated landscape without making it feel restrictive.

My kids will never move out. My neighbor just built a bunkie from a kit in preparation of his kid never being able to move out in this batcrap market.

Build as much housing as you possibly can.

Now, you may be reading that as "build a lot of housing". But that's not what was written.

Build as much housing as you possibly can.

Seriously, if you're not considering the feasibility of putting sheds on the moving roof of the sky dome, you're not taking this seriously enough. If you're not considering tearing apart a million-dollar MRI machine for scrap metal for roofing, you're not taking this seriously enough. I want you to take the NIMBYs, flay them, tan the skins, and use them to make tents for homeless people.

Hah, you and OP are literally arguing the exact opposite of each other.

"It's a bad Souls game, I can't just use whatever build I want and win with pure skill!"

"It's a bad Armored Core game, I can't just optimize my mech for this exact fight and steamroll it!"

...

I like the game.
