Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?

I don't know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.

Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.

“I am at your service. Just marry me.”

She may have also been a pdfile but there's no way that's all that was going on. What kinda rizz did Epstein have to get women to fall over him constantly? So weird to see. Maybe it was just his money, probably just the money. These people are vultures.

It actually says "how academic work can be stimulated".. not simulated.

You know this tool that they are trialing is to enable them to spend more time with you and less time doing paperwork, right?

I get your feeling, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees here.

Illinois, where this pic is from, is one of those states! Maybe this car is from out of town

Fair enough. I'm struggling with the constant attempts to pin the blame of trump on the Dems not being enough while also projecting various purity tests on the party. I respect that you weren't doing that, sorry.

The dem party has a lot to improve on as whole and specifically with leadership. I also want anything better than Trump and I'm willing to settle, for now, on good enough. I wrongly interpreted your message as another attempt to wedge the party

frankly I struggle to think of a Democrat in the Senate who I trust more either.

...what?

Do you believe Bernie Sanders lacks integrity (maybe you're splitting hairs on "Democrat")? Elizabeth Warren? Mark Kelley?

Idk, this seems like a poor attempt to "both sides"

You're being downvoted but this has been the reality for game devs for the industry's lifetime. Only a few successful studios are able to have consistently employed devs and artists through multiple projects.

The reality in this industry is that it is project based and when the projects ship, they fire a lot of staff. I left this industry precisely because of this factor a decade ago.

I hope these devs and artists land on their feet quickly.

Weird and frustrating. I'm sure it's easy to say "of course this is how the US would (not) react" but I think truly many of us are baffled and confused. Hopefully we can fix these issues internally but I fear it's going to be very painful to do so. These fuckers aren't leaving power without a fight.

Remove the final period on the links.

Fair enough! Thanks for the reality check :)

It's frustrating how many comments are focused on comparisons to the NL. When someone does something hard that was easy for you, do you gloat or do you celebrate their efforts?

Everyone in this community knows that NL has amazing bike infra and this is normal (and better) there.

Hope to see more permanent protected bike lanes in the US. Thanks for sharing OP
