I get it somewhat, just not the intensity of their emotional connection to combustion engines.

The combustion engine’s character, flaws, sounds, cancerous wonderful smells. Tuning culture. Shitbox culture. Wrenching. All of that.

But I’m not spiralling into despair because EV is the hot new thing. It’s different, yes, but keep an open mind and you’ll age slower in the head. You can take EV battery safety courses and learn to wrench on them. Tuner and shitbox EV culture is already thriving on YouTube. People will learn EV have character too. The loud fart sounds shall be missed (many of you won’t of course lol) but oh well it’s not that big a deal.

My next commuter is going to be used EV. I am lucky to have a garage, so my big shitty V8 1994 Chevy trugg will continue doing the occasional dirty job until I can’t buy gas at a reasonable price any longer or it’s illegal to operate. I keep it nice minus the bed, so if I live long enough maybe I DIY EV swap it 👹.

From all the articles I can make the explanation far more brief: Geoff played the game early and was impressed and then encouraged the devs to make a trailer. Apparently it was a rush job to make the deadline for the show and they didn’t show the gameplay loop which is always a bad idea. This flopped of course but was magnified because gamers ™ had been working themselves into an irrational frothing mass over Half Life 3 hopium self generated hype. Geoff fanned those flames on Shitter so that’s partly his fault.

I think if the game is actually good it’ll bounce back easily on its own merits. But if it doesn’t I bet there be a lot of denial and finger pointing to avoid facing the fact they made a mid game.

I swear Porche was already doing something similar…years ago.

My bet is they tweak the backend instead to derank content they don’t like softly next.

I make pork chilli a lot. Various beans, tomato cans of whatever is cheapest at the moment, and then I buy the cheapest cuts of pork nobody wants and put them through my standing mixer meat grinder attachment. Spice however you like.

Is the mere passage of time a natural consequence? Not sure what you mean exactly. If so maybe I could bring up the Canaanites. This is where Judaism’s god and then all forks afterwards like the failing upwards prophet Jesus (didn’t fulfil prophecy at all) and forks of forks come from. Yahweh eventually morphed over time into monotheism. Henotheistic at one checkpoint. It’s a messy non-linear timeline and I don’t feel like writing a huge novel right now. The modern day Hebrew Bible itself contains butchered remnants of this evolution, with passages suggesting early Israelites worshipped multiple gods too at some point. So anyways their god was originally a minor god in a polytheistic religion where El was the god of gods with his consort the goddess Asherah. Calling her his wife is contested.

I marvel how people can take any of this seriously after just a casual read up on this basic history of their own so called gods. I consider it evidence against them.

Nice, replace Microslop Windows too pls.

Don’t really care what this Elon butt sniffer thinks about anything anyways.

Also “watch out for specific predator.”

It does look good but solves nothing when it comes to Google/Android turning hostile to stuff like LineageOS, F-Droid, etc.

The idea the Epstein files scare their diseased administration is getting a little silly. Trump can fuck a kid on live TV and USA won’t do anything.

I think the fent lean becoming such a widespread thing America is known for says something about how Americans “take care” of their vulnerable population.

Finally some good news.

All countries that have send soldiers it’s been a small handful for a show of solidarity correct?

Idk why we"re hesitating to join them in that.

Edison Email on Android for now.

Don’t like combined Inbox being default. Do like how fast it loads up and the rest of the GUI doesn’t annoy me. Good dark theme.

Betterbird on Desktop. Marginally better GUI options I care about over Thunderbird. Multi-line View. Linux/Windows. I like everything, no negatives.

I use Runbox who’ve existed since 2000 out of Norway and a separate service for a domain name as my backend. Runbox has a comically outdated web GUI. Very web 1.0. Very slowly replacing it with Runbox version 7. I don’t care as I never use the website except for creating sorting rules and email aliases.

Mobile I mainly just use for 2factor on mobile so the app matters less since I infrequently use it. Main usage I’m still primarily a desktop user when it comes to dealing with my email. Runbox I set up to sort my email for me so Betterbird isn’t doing much advanced stuff besides flagging Junk/Not Junk. Aliases are themed and I sign up for stuff with them, autosorted into dedicated folders for each alias. This also makes setting up on a new machine quick and simple.
