This is why third parties can’t win in presidential politics
  • Would ranked choice voting help this? Genuine question looking for opinions. I tend to think it would, but that might be too optimistic with politics the way it is these days.

    JD Vance now says Haitian immigrants are spreading HIV after bizarre pet-eating claim flops
  • lol my dumbass neighbor just tried selling this argument to me and I just laughed and walked away. Like how ridiculous does the story have to be before you even do some basic logic questions?

    Introducing Steam Families
  • I wasn’t complaining, just annoyed with the (I guess now old) rules for sharing and the limitations it imposed. Not enough to stop buying games, though. I’ve been on Steam a long time and have a large library of games. We just got used to taking turns playing. Happy to see that change.

  • That’s awesome; I didn’t know they changed that. I haven’t tried to play multiple games from the same library for a long time now because I hadn’t heard about that restriction changing. Thanks!

  • omg yes

    I hope this is better than the current implementation. The current “any user playing any game means the entire library is unavailable” is dumb. Going to go read the fine print!

    Why the Linux ecosystem cannot be considered "standardized", unlike Windows and Mac?
  • Because it’s not, in my opinion.

    Linux has standards, but virtually none of them are all-encompassing across all the installs. For example: Which distribution? Which desktop manager? Which package manager? Which kernel version?

    A Windows install at one location looks and feels — and has the same code and dependencies and is compatible with the same installs and management functions — as any other location, barring specific policy considerations. Same for macOS. Not for Linux.

    One can build a Linux standard for their environment, yes; but in my opinion considering Linux itself as “standardized” just isn’t there.

  • If you have the ability, a tool like YNAB (You Need A Budget) might help.

    Here’s a link to the setup video showing the app and its contents. It’s an hour long, but I think it does a really great job of covering the concepts and hitting on what you’re talking about here.

    I have no affiliation with them except having been a customer for ~10 years now, but it’s done wonders for us. Check it out!

    What is your favourite board game?
  • It’s complex yet very simple. Can be played by a small or large group easily. Teaches logic, reasoning, and deduction over “outscoring” your opponent. Being the dealer doesn’t give you any advantages if you play it right. And because of all the various permutations of the cards, it’s always a new game each time vs a number of set scenarios/strategies.
