I agree with you that a large part of the problem is that destruction is easier than creation, but it wouldn’t be hard to get a lot of progressive things in if there were the political will for it. Appoint tons of progressive judges and start putting through huge increases in wealth taxes, climate and social programs, workers/union rights, scale back police power, etc etc.
But even if there were hundreds of leftist judges waiting in the wings, the dems are too corporatist to support stuff like that, so the best they can offer is some social programs that won’t upset the status quo too much.

I signed up for a gothic class my frosh year that was described as American gothic-- vampires, werewolves, all that good stuff. I dunno if the prof didn’t write the course description or if it got changed later but it was English gothic, which apart from the origins of the genre (Walpole, which ended up being hilarious because tons of modern tropes originated there, like the maiden in the castle using the subterranean staircase to flee from the mad king when a gust of wind blows her candle out) and some of the more satirical stuff (Austin), it was incredibly boring to read.
There was one called The Mysteries of Udolpho that’s this meme times 10, where during a wagon trip there are literal 30 page descriptions of tress. I get if we’d been warned that this sort of thing was largely historical and we could pretty much skip the sweeping depictions of scenery that only existed because most people in the 19th century didn’t get to travel much so it was exciting to read about exotic landscapes, but the assignment merely amounted to “Here’s a 650 page novel, go read it for next week.”
At least we got to do Frankenstein and I think there was one Poe story thrown in as well (despite being American).
Not sure why these articles are only coming out now. My work bought me a win11 computer a few months ago and I was surprised to learn that the first few things I downloaded to the desktop showed up on my one drive. I don’t really use the account I have on it for much, and it was easy enough to turn off in settings but it was still a shock.
Just another invasion of privacy by a giant corpo that none of its users asked for
I still use my s10e every day on my commute with the headphone jack plugged into a radio tuner so I can listen to podcasts
Aren’t all (or almost all) memes famous randomly though? No one expected a sort of doofy photo of a teen to be famous for years for having bad luck, for example.
That’s Aku. A coup is how actors know when to go on stage.
What’s it look like without wax?
Also if you have an entrance on the ground and build the rest of the base above it you should be set for the early game stuff. (see the first picture on the bases wiki page)
I hope it works for you. I think I’ve played it more than any other game. The wiki is a fantastic resource if you’re feeling stuck.
Been meaning to go back and finish Subnautica. I had a good time with it but one sea moth got destroyed bc I couldn’t find the zap key in time and I got ejected from another when it was really deep and couldn’t go back down and get it without collecting more resources.
I enjoyed the game but I wish it was like 10% easier with QoL improvements, like having a bigger inventory, your ship respawns, etc.
If you dig a 2x3 pit immediately adjacent to your door outside the zombies can’t break in
This just hit me as an interesting example of an analysis that can take all the available data into account and considered through all kinds of lenses, but without a key will never be interpreted correctly (this is assuming you can’t just google the phrase). It reminds me of the darmok episode of tng where the computer couldn’t interpret a foreign language because it was based on a history of shared memes
Every 2-3 years I’ll fire up Terraria again
Is it about Veronica being called a “sub-deb”?
Did they ever fix the issue that an American teen used a hilariously bad interpretation of the Scots language to write thousands of articles on the Scots wiki?

I’d already been doing contact juggling by the time the fushigi came out, but the ads implied that you could just… perform a skill by buying their product. It’d be like a company marketing the “mystical multiball” that shows people juggling 7 objects and implying you too could do that if you only owned their particular set.
