Ooh nice. I'll take it. It may not be the dream, but it's what you wake up to after dreaming, and that's really all you can hope for.

I'm pretty sure a game as I described would only be a cult classic at best. Can't expect that kind of passion project in our financial climate.

Some of the near zero but not zero combinations don't make a lot of sense to not just be zero.

Like dumbbag, scumhat, dipclown... I don't know about you, but those ones colored as "thousands of uses" doesn't seem right to me. Unless it was open so far as to search for those words used back to back and not specifically attached in any way as implied.

But yeah, there are so many combinations that seem way too far into the orange to make sense to me. I'm curious to see the actual numbers the graph was built with.

I think the goal was to tell the story in a way that doesn't seem as familiar to point out just how crazy it is that we have become used to these headlines every single day.

Just saying elon musk tweeted a dumb thing is whatever. But keep in mind who he actually is despite... who he is.

Yeah, the issue is calling it "replacement" instead of a demographic shift. The replacement part makes it feel like a bad thing. It's just a natural shift that is no longer as artificially repressed by those in power as it used to be.

I really liked the Tokyo Xtreme racer games. They are still probably the best car RPG games. I would love to see what someone could do now in the same vein. Even tokyo xtreme never got quite as crunchy or difficult as I would have liked.

I want to go so far as to be like a tactical survival style game, where you are out there earning a living wage from daily(nightly) car racing, and putting most of it back into your car. Just the repairs and maintenance alone being a bar you have to meet and beat every day on average to stay afloat, and then you can think about upgrades after.

It basically takes an environment like that for it to matter in a racing game that there are upgrades between the worst and the best. If trying to save up for even one good part wouldn't be possible without at least some middle parts first.

Meanwhile, could have some "roguelite" elements too in driver experience/skill. The car is only half of what's winning the races afterall. And even if you really blow it at some point and your car is fucked and you need to salvage and pull together what you got and go back to a cheaper car to maintain/repair, you'll still have all the experience/skill your character personally gained helping it go a little smoother this time.

Your story would be verifiable. Unless somehow only one fake bill slipped into a ream. But generally if it put out one fake bill, it'll have alot more inside. It's not like they are loaded one bill at a time. And generally they get fresh printed currency when possible, to reduce the chance for jams.

Wow, those two options look damn near identical to me. I wonder what makes it over 70% confident it's one and only 9% confident it's the other.

I would assume reasonably and reservedly, rather than jumping the gun. It's certainly how I responded. Not sure what you really mean to ask though.

If you mean about conspiracy theories, I can pretty much assure they waited to see what was actually the case rather than believe the first thing they heard.

When most of the temperature scales were made, they didn't even know yet that there was a zero, I mean, theoretically, they likely knew or assumed. But they had no way of practically measuring it yet, at the very least.

I do think that as much as it would be weird for a couple of years, it would help a lot in the long run to widely adopt a temperature scale that starts at 0.

Because honestly, the percentage of adults I come across that have no idea how temperature works or what it even is conceptually beyond just "a nice day or a bad day" or "this is the number for cooking this thing" is astonishing.

It's intentional design, search engine optimisation.

Yeah, I very much support rainbows and pride stuff in other places, but I have never felt great about rainbow crosswalks. I'm an autistic driver, I do my best to limit distraction and already have to spend so much of my daily "supply" of willpower staying focused on my short drive. Heck, a freshly painted white crosswalk is distracting enough, lol.

But since it's something for the public, if it hasn't actually increased traffic incidents, then I am also fine with it. My personal experience with it isn't universal, after all.

I certainly heard a lot of conspiracy theories at the time, but I didn't know anyone who believed them. But I don't and didn't really hang out with the type of people that believe stuff like that in general. My friends and family are generally empirical evidence people, logical thinkers rather than emotional.
