  • Parents sue over son's asthma death days after inhaler price soared without warning

  • Saw this on NBC Nightly News last night, they framed pharmacy benefit managers as people who were there to reduce costs. Absolutely batshit insane thing to say. Like did a pharmacy benefit manager pay you to say that?

  • There's an underground drainage structure less than 100' away that this swale is connected to. They could have put a gutter inlet in the road and run a pipe instead. How incredibly lazy and cheap...

  • Tried to do the worm, bruised my chin and bit my tongue in the process. Then I opened a beer (glass bottle) and broke the rim slightly in the process. My ex (no I don't mean she's my ex only now, she already was at the time) was there and I took a swig despite her protestations that it was sharp and would cut me. Immediately started bleeding from the lip, and she had to take me to the bathroom to clean me up. I don't know why she put up with me for as long as she did.

  • Those convicted included a Catholic priest and 75-year-old grandmother, as well as an 87-year-old woman and a father of 11 children who were arrested 18 months after praying and singing hymns outside an abortion facility in Tennessee as a part of a politically motivated prosecution campaign by the Biden Administration.

    They were blocking the entrance, a direct violation of the 1994 FACE Act. The law & order president at work again.

  • Sen. John Fetterman raises alarms with outburst at meeting with union officials

  • Yeah, like the alarms from the proximity sensors on his front bumper when he rear ended that person at "well over 70 mph".

  • Cities Skylines 2 - Again, you can’t do everything you already can in CS1. Plus, the first game is supported by a huge number of mods. There’s really no reason to play the new title. Again, it does not perform any better.

    CS2 looks and performs better than the original now that a lot of the bugs have been squashed and optimizations are in place (in my experience, anyway). Its memory management in particular is way better than CS1. I don't get the simulation slow down to the same extent that I did in CS1 as the population increases.

    The new road tools alone are reason enough for me to never go back to CS1. The service building upgrades are an added feature that's a big plus as well. I also find that the economy is a little more functional and transparent than in CS1 (again, after multiple patches).

    I don't find the lack of bike lanes, quays, or modular industry to be so important as to ruin my enjoyment of what is otherwise a state of the art city building game.

  • As an art appreciator, and someone whose professional duties include project management, I love this comment, especially "[project management] can help you make something, but it won't be art."

  • KSP2 is a unique situation, there are no improvements coming because the studio was shut down. I'm not sure the others belong alongside it. I have the most experience with CS2 and I can say confidently, even at launch, it was better than the original in a lot of ways. It was buggy and unoptimized, and lacked content, and it deserved the criticism it got for those reasons. Since then, most of the bugs have been ironed out, performance is way better, and they've released a bunch of content packs, several of the most substantial ones for free. Even at launch, I never wanted to go back to CS1 just because of how much better the road tools are. Now? No contest. CS2 is a great city builder.

    On the one hand, I'm glad for the pressure that people with less patience than I have are applying to these companies to release their games in a better state. On the other, I think there's a lot of unwarranted criticism and vitriol that goes along with it that's disappointing to see.

  • So I read your the other guy's edit on the original post, too, and I agree. HOWEVER, now is a time for us to stand up for principles and speak clearly about what we believe. Playing the devil's advocate is fun, but counterproductive in a world with so many devils willing to advocate for themselves.

    Since I just realized you're not the guy I originally responded too, I guess it all comes down to this:

    (And I won’t give you my opinion on it.)

    I'm sharing my opinion. If your opinion is the same as mine, then let's join our voices instead of engaging in relativist masturbation. If your opinion is different, then you're wrong and we can talk about why if you'd like.

    And to be clear, I'm a relativist, to an extent anyway.
