I think it’s a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.
SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.
I’ll always prefer SML 1.
But I do fondly remember this.
The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.
It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.
Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to
That critical mass will never come because people don’t feel the data has been stolen from them.
Rather, it’s traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.
And to them it’s a decent trade.
Solution is stop using delivery services.
A lot of people.
I’m not giving up mobile deposit.
Leave my house? Duck that.
I’m excited for it for the same reasons.
I don’t have skill in art or coding.
But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.
Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?
Everyone knows about it.
This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you’ll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.
Can’t, really. Have several critical Windows only apps.
It’s a chicken and egg situation.
It’s frustrating because I don’t know it, and I don’t learn it because it’s frustrating.
Generally deploying some kind of service.
It’s things like this that prevent me from using Linux more.
I force myself to use it for projects where it’s an option because I feel I need to learn it better but I kind of dread it every time.
Inevitably I’m stuck frustrated reading conflicting guides from years ago and wondering just how badly I’m going to fuck things up this time.
Sometimes it all feels so esoteric.
I’ll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.
I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.
… Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it’s set up, it’s zero touch aside from adding new shows.
Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows
It’s called qualified immunity.
The idea is that if a police officer accidentally violates someone’s rights while trying to do their job and wasn’t aware they are not at fault.
It’s not a law but the result of a court case. Many of us want a law passed to remove it.
Yeah, but I didn’t care about any of that.
Naw, lots of us stopped when Netflix streaming came in full swing.
Nope.
