Companies aren't going to do the best thing for the long term, they're sole purpose is to maximize what's best for the company. It's the role of society in the form of the government to constrict what they can do for the betterment of everyone. So anyone who complains about regulations are probably the same ones who complain about taxes. They don't understand their roles and complexities and just use the sound bites they've heard.

This is true of a lot of modern materials. Plastics, alloys, and microelectronics. The advancements make them better than anything which would be easily reusable or recoverable, or repairable. But we pay the cost, both in them being disposable instead, and in the forced design of being throwaway and not lasting, so profitable to make this was for the companies.

I'd be good with that. Makes sense, the self image imposed on the characters. Nice challenge for the actors too.

They'll certainly go with a new adventure using the previous characters, but I'd honestly love it if their roles were cameos or background to some new people in different roles and new issues to overcome, in a new setting. The general vehicle of seeing an actual game from within the world worked well, and plenty to use, but I feel we've seen these characters' arcs and it will feel heavy handed to invent more problems to overcome. And I get it, that's exactly what players will do with their established party, but a lot of the deeper arcs wold be over many adventures and playing sessions, not as a one shot.

But I hope they turn out something decent. I'm all for a lower budget, more character interaction and back and forth.

"probably"

Separately yes, with the cost of just military operations, and then the long lasting side effects of this whole diversion.

But domestic spending to help citizens is too expensive.

An organism living in, on, or with another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host. The ends to the mean is worth the sacrifice to most mothers and often intentionally planned for or accepted, but yes, a fetus qualifies.

As far as using it as an argument, no, it won't work for various reasons. But as presented as a question of definition...

Honestly, it could be because of the age of the hardware I'm working with. Just haven't bothered pursuing why it occurs since I have a workaround. The surprising thing to me is how simple the install was for both Linux versions. I did not expect it to boot the first time with no issues at all to troubleshoot to get things to work.

My first question was going to be specs, but that's new enough that there's plenty of flavors that should work fine. I have a 2009 MacBook that I was able to up memory to 8GB, and that opened up being able to put Linux Mint vs. the Kubuntu it was running but struggling with (mainly due to Firefox needing 1GB sometimes which would kill its 2GB RAM).

Only real issue is every great once in a while Cinnamon acts flaky (garbage characters) but I put a shortcut to restart it that seems to fix it without messing anything up. Being a secondary computer for me, that's good enough.

GOP hates people. Nothing new except in finding ways to hurt everyone more.

Just that you are not alone. Take that as comforting or not.

That's a great summary, and now so many of the posts complaining about how Lemmy didn't feel different than what they had come from suddenly could have been a red flag that no one understood. Maybe not, but sure seems a bit correlated.

Me too. The brain sees what it wants to see.
