"Someone things I'm wrong, therefore I'm right."

Yeah I've got literally nothing left to say to you.

Yeah, I only recently tried the spear myself, but that sucker FLIES!

Even the US population is like 60-70% left leaning, it's just that the left has lower voter participation rates.

Left leaning vs leftist is a much higher bar and I'd wager under 20% of the US (voting) population is leftist. That's just based on my memory of how few leftist representatives we have in congress... Far from an exact science.

I am definitely a liberal, but I'm by no means a leftist.

That's a profoundly ignorant perspective. Yeah, MAYBE cell phones play a role, but they're hardly the only thing that's changed about society.

I feel like I looked into that once upon a time and it was illegal in my state (Ohio).

I have seen something like that though, at times it's a bit too much IMO. I've seen some that trigger for pretty gentle braking so there's just a strobe light distraction in front of you over relatively minor things.

I try (if I have time myself to do it without hitting someone and am just in front a mess) to "wake people up" a bit by rapidly tapping the brakes before hitting them hard (to hopefully make my brake lights flash).

Probably hoping to crowd source the engine development to reduce costs, but honestly no idea.

tldr; the developer of Eve ("CCP") is going to open source their engine

This is the real answer. People didn't care enough to pick better in primaries. Democrats didn't have one (largely from tradition) and Republicans actually voted for Trump to be their guy.

As a home owner, the cost of "what you'd have to pay to own the home" is extremely variable and to an extent down to dumb luck.

I think it's sufficient to say no individual should be able to rent out more than X number of homes where X is what that individual could reasonably take care of. I'm okay with corporate rentals, particularly in the case of complexes as well.

Basically, I don't think small business or individuals that live in the area that do rentals are the problem. If someone wants to rent out houses as their primary source of income ... sure why not.

It's like anything else though, there needs to be reasonable limits to stop gluttony. I think a limit of "you can have 1 rental property" is way too low though.

I think there's a reasonable argument for local (and responsible) landlords to exist. Not everyone wants to be tied down to a property or have to worry about repairs.

 

(A catch up post ... the bot was broken by my instance upgrading to Lemmy 1.19, fixed now!)

 

New teaser video released ... I really hope we're getting a moving train on the new map (or perhaps one of the existing maps?)!

 

I mostly play the traditional bounty hunt mode. I enjoy it quite a bit, I have over 700 hours in the game, I tend to play in 3-4 star lobbies with friends, and have a ~1.3 KDR.

Soul Survivor on the other hand I've always struggled with. I tend to either get the wellspring and die before the timer runs out or get into a shootout that I just don't have what I need to win before that happens. I've yet to actually win a single game of soul survivor in probably a couple dozen tries.

My Soul Survivor KDR is like ... 0.4. I'm wondering if that's mostly down to the lack of match making? Or just, IDK, does anyone have any advice or experience they want to share about Soul Survivor?
