I remember it feeling inescapable back then

I can't say I've ever really liked a controller, so I never experimented with fancy ones. The one that was the most fine was the ps controller. the joycon was ok until drift kicked in. The xbox controller made my hands hurt after too long. I think if I'd had more xbox games back then I would have gotten more into controllers to find one for my tiny hands. I mostly prefer a keyboard.

Looking at other stuff he's done on instagram, he might just like putting things into color patterns that interest him. Living artists are interesting to follow because maybe they are making something meaningful, or maybe they were just messing with colors.

Some of his stuff is obvious referenced art made out of objects, as well, so I might just be oblivious too about this one.

He looks so done

The first cash transfer was made in November 2023. A total of 188 people each receive the equivalent of about £2 a day, or about £55 a month. Cool Earth worked with a tech company, AidKit, to facilitate the process, and the pilot will last for two years, with an equivalent of about £245,000 given in total, though the organisation plans to continue the support on an ongoing basis.

Will it help the environment? Hopefully the pilot program will find that out. But, god, that is such a small amount of money and now those 188 people have an easier time eating, educating their kids - I hope it turns out to work so more people get a basic income.

An old lady I worked for with dementia got scammed on facebook by people who sound like this. I was inclined to hate the scammers for targeting the disabled, but, holy shit. Those poor people.

People should do what they think is best, based on their own situation (region, district, needs, etc) and beliefs(what they think should happen, what they can ethically stand, etc). In this election, I think Trump is a dangerous (personally and politically) and incompetent enough figure that conservative people should deliberately throw the election to force their party in a different direction.

My personal belief is that government is a tool, and my vote will go to the person who seems most likely to enact policy that aligns with my values.

I think everyone who was going to vote for trump but is feeling doubt should pick a third party candidate to vote for instead.

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/19/biden-dnc-speech-harris I read the article and the linked axios article, and I'm still not sure there was any value to them. Maybe he is still pissed, and he's talking about it with his pals, but if he doesn't do anything with them, he's entitled to feel what he wants. He laughed when he heard a friend defended him. Cool!
