Another factor that hasn’t been mentioned yet is it gives cops pretty unilateral right to pull you over if they feel like it. IANAL, but in many places it’s illegal for a cop to pull you over just for “being suspicious”, but because of speeding and various other traffic laws on the books that are almost universally ignored, they can pull you over for speeding, then decide you seem suspicious and search your car, breathalyze you, etc.

This isn’t true - there’s plenty of music where the tempo stays pretty strict throughout but still calls for a conductor! The conductor serves to keep the full ensemble together generally, but of course professional groups could probably get through a whole piece without one if the tempo doesn’t change much. The conductor also serves to unify the group in terms of interpretation, how loud or soft to play, how smooth or separated the notes should be, which instruments/voices should be more noticeable than others, and so on.

He’s not criticizing the project; he’s criticizing the headline.

I mean, having to deal with the torrent of that type of content was a big reason why the admin of lemm.ee quit altogether, so I would wager it happens quite a bit.

Edit: This content is also quite explicitly illegal in many jurisdictions, and hosting it on your instance can get you landed in jail.

You’re not supposed to be able to beat every optional boss you find the first time you see it, unless you really are a parry God. The game allows you to circle back to optional bosses at later opportunities quite regularly.

Mate, the article links to the study, rather than be pedantic about the title you could read the study and figure out how they did the math yourself.

I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they’re in charge. That’s why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.

I’m hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I’m not holding my breath, though.
