More accurate to say that the initial success surge has calmed down to their core audience.

That 10% or fewer depending on if it’s still shrinking will be the rock and stoners that keep this game running well into the future.

You’ll probably see a similar spike then fall off then consolidation when The Forever Winter releases. That core community revenue is probably going to be what FunDog is planning on using for future projects and to cover the maintenance costs of TFW. I mean either that or they’ll power the servers by kidnapping the playerbase and harvesting their organs and bioelectricity but it was really their own fault for not being able to get out of sight before nightfall.

Lemon Ice, something about it is just nice in a way I can’t really describe, and whenever I get into that headspace of wanting to share food with someone it’s one of the first things I think of

How is it even a wine at this point? Doesn’t it naturally become vinegar after long enough?

I’m pretty sure at this point I’ve made several people wish death on me, or at least significant misfortune.

Being a leftist who believes in the civic duty to reduce harm through voting for less right leaning politicians does not make you popular with very many people at all.

It’s because you put the first and last letters of penis and buttsex as the first and last letters of both the jumbles

People will apparently shortcut reading by checking the first letter, what letters are in most of the rest of the word, and then the last letter

I mean hey, dragon with a passion for cooking and looks like a penchant for dressing with panache, if they’ve got the right personality I’d call that a catch!

Babies are the most adorable things that routinely ruin your sleep isolate you from your friends eat your entire wallet and reward you by making you personally clean all their literal shit.

And some how when they grow up all you can do is wish you had your adorable scrunchietato back

Well now I’m picturing the poor SoB who got his mmr directly into the testicle

I don’t know who’d be in bigger legal trouble, the parent who let it happen or the doctor who’s batshot enough to actually do it

Do they at least get one day of shoukshouka for breakfast?

Germany gets a pizza day?

That opposing force is the sheer amount of desperation people are putting into chasing voters to the polls

There isn’t an opposite manifesto because the opposition to Project 2025 is a big tent coalition of several groups that in a proper democratic system would be entirely different parties.

It’s a beast with 20 heads that all have to agree to make any significant movement in any given direction, and so all that this monster can agree to do right now is to keep keeping the other guy out and hope a resolution comes in the process.

Only sometimes one of the heads decides to be a privileged little twat and not even agree to that, and then gaslight everyone else about how they all made the twat decide to let the worse guy win.

Anyways the point is someone would have to beat down the egos of a lot of big names to unite the democratic coalition enough to put out a counterproposal to Project 2025.

You probably could do it too with enough being the biggest most confrontational douche ever seen in the DNC to literally everyone until you’ve successfully bowled everyone else over and browbeaten them into line, but congratulations now the only thing they’re more united about than The Project for All is how much they all hate you and want to ruin you so they can all go back to being the petty lords of their sub-partisan fiefdoms.

Basically every character who’s worst sin is just being kinda annoying

It makes no sense to me how an annoying person can catch so much more vitriol than a genuinely malicious person.

Like “sure he murders puppies as a casual past time, but at least he isn’t a bother about it!”

I’m staying with them while on bedrest from the nastiest mono infection I’ve ever witnessed, but once I’m recovered I still have my own place I can get back to

I also stay the night regularly when my dad needs to leave my mom home alone for travel because she’s old and has old people problems

I’m in a pretty unique situation with how my life in relation to theirs turned out though so probably not a median example of a person who crashes with their parents for occasions outside of celebrations or family trips.

“I did something I didn’t have to because I wanted an excuse to say yes to going on a date with you. :3”

See he jokes but the white house tour probably gets at least one weirdo on a daily basis

You eat hamburgers, it’s a similar scale comparison

Defense of a country in the case of direct attack, or more complicatedly in the defense of an allied country in cases like NATO where all members consider an attack on any member as though it were an attack on them.

I will add the caveat though that not having a well funded, trained, and staffed military prior to hitting the conscription button is certainly a point in the column of incompetence if not unacceptable behavior.

Unless it’s the sale of a product or service or the wage earnings or someone who worked on a product or service, it doesn’t contribute to GDP, if country A made product X, it being sold in country B contributes to A’s GDP

It was because Clinton was going to maintain Obama’s measures dismantling them and add on to them.

But board meetings and emails.

Nah just get the work certed, it’d be available for anyone, it just needs to pass the “No AI was used at all” test, and that can be done by giving creative software tools the ability to sign files whenever AI or screen shotting tools get used in their making

I think the approach of providing software tools the ability to grant the cert if no AI tools are used will be the way to really spread the practice, can even work with them to create a cert mode that just doesn’t even present those tools to the user in the first place.

The next step would be getting publishing sites to use the cert or signature as a check that either blocks the upload or more leniently get a visual marker that indicates it was not made with generator tools.

Plus checking for the cert also eliminates the crisis of teachers having to outsmart GPT to avoid their students cheating on takehome essays.
