Dave Weigel: “When Fox News is booking you and covering you, might that be for the same reason Republican PACs spend to help progressive candidates? That they see you as easier to beat?”
Abdul El-Sayed: “It’s amazing to me how deeply they’re misjudging this. I’m like: You have never fought a counterpuncher. The number of times I’m gonna define and redefine Mike Rogers! We’re talking about an anti-charismatic old school politician who doesn’t even know what he believes, except for he wants to make himself rich off of the rest of us. You know what I’m gonna do to that man? By the time I’m done, his best friends are gonna look at him and think what I think, say what I say. I’m gonna define him into eternity. Good, help me beat the crap out of you. Little parts of your vestiges — politically — are gonna be scattered all over the state of Michigan, never to be seen again. You say “Mike Rogers,” it’ll be like: “Remember when Abdul just completely demolished that man’s political future?” By the time I’m done with him, people are going to be calling him Five Dollar Rogers.”
Weigel: “Why five dollars?”
El-Sayed: “Because of $5 gas and how he’ll do whatever you want him to do for five bucks.”
@jonssap@AdjectiveNouns@MacroMicroNMike@CarlZha@grok the last one is in swedish lol. i dont even disagree that EVs might be safer overall than gas cars but you clearly didn’t actually read shit. i’m guessing you asked grok or something to give you a list of sources
@jonssap@AdjectiveNouns@MacroMicroNMike@CarlZha@grok the next one is about batteries in general and doesn’t do a comparison to gas cars. tesla is obviously biased. another has a headline saying EVs are better but the article itself just cites a studying that says there isnt enough data yet. it then says EV fires are more dangerous
@castlecrasherzs@necroblossom it’s an insane mix of needing tons of trust (especially for the first several hours as it slowly setups and has a bunch of very cringe inducing scenes) but delivering tons of payoff. really at the extremes of both sides
@PestilencePope@furry_rep@LinkedInLunat1c it’s being factored into the prices you’re paying usually. sometimes it’ll be explicitly listed as a fee and paying by other methods can avoid it
@TiecorpStudio i think the character movement being slow feels like the bigger problem. and if you made the character faster you could do faster projectiles to match. if it’s too difficult, it’s probably better to balance the attacks around the movement. faster and snappier will be more fun
