For sure, it really helps, as dumb as it sounds. If you truly don't care, you get your choice made for you. If you do care, you find out pretty quick you should be up front about it

Is it something actually meaningful or is it just general choices through your day?

I've turned the meaningless stuff into a game with people I know. If it's just a decision effecting me, I'll text someone and say "pick a number 1-10". I'll assign even or odd to "do x" or "don't do x" and depending on what they pick, my choice is made. If it's a group decision (go to bar, stay in, where to eat, what movie, etc) then I have an app on my phone for "Spin the Wheel" and we spin it to see what choice is made. We "leave it up to fate" now lol.

Also, if you feel really strongly about something but don't want to commit, it can help push you. If I really want to eat somewhere but don't wanna force it, I either have to accept a different choice or make myself do it. Anyone is "allowed" to intervene before the wheel has done to make their choice known.

We also don't do best 2 of 3, or respins. It's ond and done; fate is never wrong.

I had a similar issue with my Civic from the factory. Not to take their side on it, but same issue. Driver side rear light, and the section on the trunk.

I took it as an opportunity to do some work on my own, and replaced all the rear lights (the single replacement OEM light was like $200, and a new set of sequential LED lights was $300 and looked much better). It's not too bad of a job, took me an afternoon cause I'm way overly cautious with stuff. Around the same time frame too; mine is an '18 and I did it in '21 I think.

 

I've been liking this videos more and more as the season goes on. He does a very good job being funny about stuff that may not be too funny, but he has the knowledge of the sport and experience racing to be in a slot of "he can get away with it" which is very nice.

What about the current president asking for protestors to be shot in the legs? That seems pretty threatening, especially when viewed apolitically. Where are the repercussions for that?

He also called for Israel to "get the war over with" instead of dragging it out. That seems like pretty implicit calls for increased violence. Are there repercussions for that?

There are a hell of a lot of free speech purists until it's something they do not like. A lot of violence being called for, until it's against people they feel do not deserve it. Standards are being applied differently depending on what side you're on. This isn't to say that you do or don't support the president or the things he or his supporters say, but there are clearly 2 different applications of censorship being used. One side has 0 restriction and celebrates it, and the other side is dangerous and needs to be silenced at all costs.

That's not a real leftist, that's a republican cosplaying as one to give them a bad name. At least, that was the script given out about the Jan 6th traitors, right? It wasn't Trump fans, it was Antifa. And also about the assassination attempt (he spent $10 on a donation a decade ago, he's a Democrat).

It's super easy to just lie about shit because you don't like it. So I'm going to.

It's a fake account to create more chaos and diversion while stuff around us gets worse.

Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.

Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He's ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War ~~day 1~~ ~~week 1~~ ~~whenever convenient~~ committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.

You know. Peaceful things.

Everything has become virtue signaling. To a point, I get it. But it's like a race to drop the most buzzword-laden, scathing review of anything and everything with, the flimsiest of connections of thought and meaning ever. Rage baiting is an epidemic on all media.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Didn't know that. It took me quite a while to realize Bugbear made Flatout as well lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

They don't though. And continuing to remain there continues to push the interests further and further away from the user base. There is absolutely 0 reason for them to do any of those things or implement those changes; it costs money and would decrease the power they wield over the users, and this would drop share prices.

Renaining there is a continued vote of confidence in the direction of the site and it's propaganda.

Ohhhhh this has me amped. Bugbear is a solid studio and OG Wreckfest was a very good game.
