Wikipedia is still doing good

Which is why there has been some push to undermine it lately. I have noticed ai bro calling it deprecated by chatgpt, or musk's grokipedia

a lot of those are more limitations of renting more than limitations of an apartment. if you own your place, you can put things on the wall, paint, and change appliances. also, you can definetely make a lot of changes in the space even when renting an apartment, even hang things on the wall, but you might need to cover the holes when leaving.

and there are HOA that would also limit what you can do with your property and put on your yard as well, so, while it is shitty, even owning a house doesn't mean that you get the freedom to do what you want.

living in an apartment is definetely not for everyone, but it has advantanges (and disadvantages) over living in a house.

2 acres 30 minute from town is just not a realistic expectation, unless by town you mean a small rural town. even most suburbs are at least 1 hour drive away from downtowns.

apartments are a real solution to a lot of environmental and financial problems, and offer a higher quality of life for particular areas (mostly access to culture and socializing). it is ok not to value those things and prefering a more rural place, but then you should expect to be giving away a lot of the benefits of living in a city. the (orders of magnitue) higher cost of land in cities over rural areas should tell you that a lot of people actually want to live there, and while access to job opportunities is one of the factors, a lot of it is the cultural benefits of cities.

and regarding aparments benefiting the wealthy class, i have no idea where you are coming from. obviously there is a big cost of living crisis, and city living is not expect from that, but car dependance benefits the wealthy class much more than walkable apartment life, which is why the US has been pushing for suburbs and car dependance for the last 80 years.

While Hades, Hollow Knight, and Celeste being both owned and published by the same company are not indie.

if your definiton of inide exclude Hades, Hollow Knight and Celeste because they are independent i have to say that it is a very bad definiton of what an indie game is.

personally, if a game has enough budget to hire Charlie Cox or Andy Serkins, it probably should not be in an indie award ceremony

i understand that, but personally, unles we are talking about >100F and >90% humidity, i don't need more than a small fan and cool water to feel fine

what it feels liek to come here as someone who likes summer...

Creative iteration is hard work. if it is only taking minutes, it is because it is not creative. Sure, it is hard to sit down and draw or write or do any work, but the best ideas happen during that process

15% of the total United States GDP is a single company

no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.

it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company

while a phone signing a video to show that it was captured with the camera is possible, it will be easy too to fake the signature. all it would take would be a hacked device to steal the private key. and even if apple/google/samsung have perfectly secure systems to sign the origin of the video, there would be ton of cheaper phones that would likely won't.

well, he also asked for the death of nickels and dimes, so maybe not yet

according to AOC, it is because MTG wanted to run for Senate next year and Trump told her no

it is. but if the reason that you think something is poor is because you were not the target audience, you can come across as entitled and clueless. it is not like their games pretend to be easy games, it is clear from the start that that the challenge is part of the design
