halcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Missouri governor repeals paid sick leave law approved last year by votersEnglish17·3 hours agoWhat sort of ass-backwards State allows direct Voter-approved laws to be repealed by the politicians. The purpose of having that process is to deal with situations where the State can’t get their shit together.

The time to complain en masse was before the law was passed in the first place. But most people worldwide now seem to not give a shit about authoritarian policies hidden behind bullshit like “think of the children” laws.

Occam’s Razor here. The simplest answer is usually the most correct.

Doesn’t mean much, but I’m doing what little I can.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•BioShock creator says "audiences reward" single-player games that don't have "other methods of monetization," like Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33English64·13 hours agoGames as a service can be okay, in some situations. Ones we very rarely see due to (primarily) publisher greed.
If you’re paying for the game itself, at any point, GaaS is stupid and extremely exploitative.
If they choose to go that route however, the game needs to be free to play with separate monetization. They need to mebe things that are completely optional and don’t affect gameplay.

halcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•Lithuania, Finland pivot to landmine production, potentially supplying to Ukraine, Reuters reportsEnglish21·23 hours agoThey totally did, because they’re indiscriminate and remain well after conflicts are over.
And then Russia started mining because they don’t give a fuck. So mines are already being used in the conflict. Ukraine not having that option just ties their hands.

This is a person that in decades past would have appropriately been institutionalized for their own safety. Instead they’ll probably end up as a supervisor for some fucking DOGE team where their mental capacity fits like a glove.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized pause on weapon shipments to Ukraine, sources sayEnglish131·2 days agoSo, what are the chances he was told to do this a while ago, but to wait a bit so they could deny involvement like this? That’s probably giving them too much credit.
Right? Did they think the name wasn’t a description of the music they play for some reason?
It’s probably just a traditional 3D render, it’s a pretty simple design honestly.
Well, it was published in 2019 so…

halcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win?English20·4 days agoThat’s illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can’t be forced to vote a specific way. And you can’t be targeted after the fact for that vote.

Well they can, they choose not to.
It’s ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon… Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that’s experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.
