common thread for any type of police officer anywhere tbh. I'll say you can sign up for that kind of job out of idealism but give it like 5+ years or so on the force at some point you have to square the circle. Either you adopt the ideals you enforce or alternatively you're so much of a nihilist you figure your job is to be a mercenary to inflict violence on behalf of orders above for pay. What else are you gonna do to be able to sleep at night?

hard agree, the most leftist position is your life should be toiling, eating nutripaste and recreating in accordance to the 5 year plan. everything else is counterrevolutionary
Fine, correct, even!
I'm coming out swinging here.
Movies? Right out, between the distinct fandoms of both American Sniper Part V: Killing Children, the acolytes of Marveslop and guy who's really into french indie cinema to sexually assault women there really is nothing to save there. Get rid of it, I say, what difference does it make?
Books? Pfff, there's the door. A thousand women converted into abusal BDSM play by a badly written fanfic of twilight and you want that shit to go on? You in favour of Steel Storm and My Struggle? Thought not. Fuck books.
Paintings? While Homeland Security is waxing about Kinkade? Statues, as if that's not the #1 signifier for alt right weirdos now? Away it goes!
I think you get the point. To judge a medium by it's worst fans is inane, though. Capital G gamers suck, but so do so many different flavours or fans of other mediums. The problem is not the medium.
What's the last thing you see on the page? There is absolutely a blank spot in there but it's intentional
Where do you read up on techniques, then? I can read recipes and I'm a fine ass cook as substantiated by lots of people but what I want to learn is "if I were a stereotypical mom or grandma (vietnamese) what do I vietnamesically throw together out of the pantry? What do I even have in the pantry? What do I buy for special occasions because it's worth the effort (and combine with things out of the pantry of mystery). Or is there even a pantry, does the whole thing kind of work on "go to local fresh market every two days"?
It's enough of a melting pot I can find most non-persihables you mentioned easily but then there's also really no good supply of fresh kimchi, for example. So I'm wondering, for example, with the abundance of sauerkraut here in germany if I were to just add some ingredients does that get close enough, you get me?
I can easily do the equivalent of spaghetti and meatballs, i.e. italo-american, for most of anything and give a local pan fry the japanese / korean / vietnamese spin but it's still not the cuisine
I mean they do make basically everything
Wind Waker is not beyond criticism, even on the sailing part (what a slog in the original version in the midgame, honestly). But that wasn't really what the hullaballoo was about back then, because the game wasn't out. I personally do not understand how anyone can not marvel at the art style of Wind Waker but taste is subjective. I think this article gives an allright overview, even with "we were lied to!" by this 5 second trailer clearly styled after OOT with no mention of the actual game
Wait there was a schism? Guess I haven't been on there in awhile.
This is at least 5 years back but I didn't follow it too closely, IIRC they had a number of people leave over their refusal to go "we are entirely unpolitical" which of course would be a stupid thing to be for a creative writing site. I think it came after they cleaned up shop with their QA and threw out a shitload of grimdark edgelord bullshit that accumulated.
Wasn't Public Universal Friend nonbinary and afab? The male pronouns are throwing me off.
Very much intentional, maybe go through it again
On the flipside I don't think just boycott works, not with the way IP law is structured. If you want true archival of games that has to be put into law, otherwise eventually somebody just buys the Remnants of Ubisoft and figures all those long life SSDs aren't worth it to keep around anymore.
I think if you wanted to do this you have to just get politically involved like in general. You can't single issue this, there's too many hurdles. From gerontocratic parliaments over to IP laws and a general populaces ignorance as to how important keeping history and archives is this was never going to fly. Very much a true love is possible only in the next world - for new people. It is too late forus. wreak havoc on the middle class thing.
Crucially you have to attach a cantilever construction right where your actual brakes are so if this ever catches on any road debris your tyre picked up you will instantly go frontflipping over your handlebars
It's called the trotify and here's the STLs since you can't actually buy it anymore
Borrowed one rather similar to this from a mate to test out whether shit's good. Have given it a few testrides now and here's my impression:
-
towing it empty you really don't notice it at all. Gotta watch out in very sharp turns like hairpins, but otherwise goes off easy.
-
with weight (I got up to ~15kg so far, so think like a weeks shopping) you do notice it but not nearly as much as you'd think. What's nice is if you're used to panniers for most operations your bicycle feels way less sluggish since all the weight sits a lot lower and on a rotational axle
-
Parking is a bit annoying, most bike parking isn't made for vehicles that long excluding some rare cargo bike parking. So you have to unhitch it and since you probably want to lock it up, too that's a hassle. I think if I got one for myself I'd either devise some sort of lock to keep it affixed if possible and just carry a spare cable lock for all other times since they're usually fine for the 30 mins or so you spend at the store
-
Going past cyclist pinch points is a full ass hassle now because there's really no way to do it without unhitching it. I avoided some routes due to this
-
this one is highly area dependent but like with anything car drivers aren't used to seeing they seem to pay a lot more attention at the weirdo who's bicycle towing shit. You're also gonna get stared at a lot.
-
braking doesn't seem to be really affected all that much so far. I took down my cruising speed by maybe 5 - 7kph just in case but I've not really noticed it shoving me all that much, but then I also didn't have to go full emergency brake so far.
-
for most things I'd just strap down a big plastic tub on it to throw shit in, but I do like the versatility of the flatbed in case you ever need to transport something long. Theoretical legal maximum where I live would be 1,5m over the end of the trailer, which comes to about ~2,5m of length you could transport if you're willing to also push it over the edge of the connection side a bit.
-
I have plenty of storage so this isn't much of an issue, but I do appreciate the wheels release at the press of a button so if you can store it upright against a wall or so it takes about 30cm of horizontal space
All in all; I think I'm gonna get one, this is pretty nifty and fills the missing middle for things I'm annoyed at having to use a car for because you can't really strap them to a standard issue bicycle, so things that are big but not hugely heavy. A weeks shopping, some particle board for DIY stuff, a beer crate or two and the like.

I do not get your point at all because it turns out you can do more than one thing. You can go hiking in a day and then also play videogames, with or without friends, at night. Or read a book, or watch a movie or whatever - these thing's arent exclusive by design.
