“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov, 1980
at least that long
I would not say equally bad, citizens are at least theoretically able to influence their government in a democratic system; you have no hope of influencing the ESRB or MPAA or CCA
Government regulations are better than companies deciding what’s allowed.
Democracy Now has a daily news podcast I like to listen to sometimes
Why you click on this if you do not want to participate?
Because I find it odd to find reddit on my frontpage multiple days a week when I was glad to leave it and associated behavior behind.
If you need the reddit falldown happen in the timespan of a tiktok video, this is up to you
You’re not understanding at all, I don’t know how you interpreted my words to mean that I am merely impatient.
Bitch about things, sure, but I’m not gonna join c/KFC and participate in daily circlejerking about how much working at KFC sucked
there were plenty, like exmormom, stopdrinking, etc
Okay but you see how those are different, right? Comparing using reddit to a high-control religion or alcoholism isn’t a bit much?
I’m familiar with the forces that are behind the creation of new communities, I’m asking why so many people want to talk about a website they have specifically divested from
It’s really not, an article every now and then when there is something notable, sure, but an entire community with numerous posts a day with enough attention to get on my unrelated feed is not “worth”
Which is fine, I’m not trying to yuck the yums of anyone, I’m just asking why. Why obsess over a website you used to use?
Project what you will and downvote like the redditor you are, but nobody has answered the question.
Why would you come to c/reddit just to ask why someone would talk about reddit
That’s perfectly reasonable, no? See c/reddit on my frontpage, click and ask why
Because why discuss something that’s not in your life anymore, why make/join a community dedicated to something you’re NOT doing anymore?
If you’ve replaced the functionality of reddit in your life, and reddit itself is heading in a direction you don’t approve of, why continue discussing it?
It’s a KDE application, yes.
It is interesting to share the impression while watching together the Vesusvius erupting and sealing Pompeii and discussing its last chapter
People said the same thing around the API changes, and it seems more like being bitterly obsessed with an ex. Would I love to see the downfall of any major social media site? Sure, but that’s different than being part of a community that is constantly discussing a website you used to go to.
why would you leave reddit just to talk about reddit

but it makes no digetic sense. People in real life don’t do a squat mid-air if their only intention is to step up to a higher object.
I kinda gotta disagree with this entire premise, it is very common to lift your legs up when trying to jump on something higher than your starting position.
I don’t think a mantling system is a good drop-in replacement for crouch jumping. As you say, it simplifies the movement, meaning the player will no longer have the variety of “jump, without being able to land on higher surfaces” and “jump and be able to land on higher surfaces.” I think having that extra functionality is a benefit to purposeful player movement.
It also means that they can connect other important game functionality to the Crouch button if that keybind just doesn’t do much for the intended gameplay.
What other functionality could be tied to the crouch button that is mutually exclusive with crouch jumping? Like I get some games with more movement abilities would have double jumps and air dashes, but those movements are already pretty well accounted for with the jump button and sprint button.
What’s wrong with crouch jumping?
Perpetual software bloat should not be encouraged; idling at 2GB is fucking insane
I just picked up Drumshanbo with California Oranges and it is positively delicious, very strong nose without a strong taste, great for sipping or mixing.
Tanq 10 is on my list but every place I’ve visited didn’t have it
