It feels like old 2-d shooters on NES. You're just expected to memorize patterns in order to win. So you have to die a couple times to figure it out, but it's just tedious to me. I enjoy things designed for you to figure out on the fly without requiring dying in your first try.

Jeff Goldblum is always a delight to watch.
But The Fly was a remake of The Fly (1958), and most of the movie's charm came from the source film, which came from a different time in filmmaking. Personally, I think the original was the better version.
Try using one of the PWA's, like Voyager. Just go to vger.app in your browser. It's still a browser-based front end, but it has more features than the default interface
If I recall correctly, he didn't wait for any dates, he just made things happen
Like moving the entire castle to the top of a Manhattan skyscraper
Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just... Scratched their heads in confusion?
Wouldn't this be an indicator of a neurological issue?
Thank you, this got me to resolve it. No amount of refreshing and closing tabs worked, so I did have to delete my site data after all. Lost my settings, but at least it works again.
Yeah I figured it must not be affecting anyone else since I'm the first to bring it up here. Not sure I can check the version when no part of the PWA loads though, but I think vger.app is supposed to be whatever is the current version
Marrj age!
I get this same pattern from ChatGPT-4o a lot. I sometimes find it a little off-putting as well
Abortion is a good example. Somehow, I’m a “blue-haired screaming liberal cuck” for thinking a total abortion ban is an indefensible position, but I’m also a “fascist bigot” for believing there should be a point after which abortion requires a legitimate medical reason, backed by a doctor - or even two.
This should be a reminder to you then: this is not a problem with "the Left" if you get it from the conservatives as well. Why does this somehow push you further right if you have extremists on both ends treating you this way?
For one thing, I don't think "many people in this minority are mean to me" is ever a good reason to turn against the entire group. To use the old comparison again, it's not appropriate to say that you were bullied by black people, so therefore all black people should stay segregated. That excuse will never fly, and the same applies here.
Many trans people are angry at the way they are treated, and rightly so. While they may often lash out inappropriately, that doesn't mean it's right to dismiss all of them because of the angry ones.
As for those of us not part of the marginalized groups, most of us simply take a hard line stance on respecting people who can't help the way they were born. Give people basic human respect for who they are, regardless of who you think they should be. If someone suggests that trans people are predators or perverts just because they want to be treated as the gender they feel, then yes, this person will be dismissed as a bigot.
As for Joe Rogan, he has come out on the wrong side of... Many scientific issues. He's an idiot (and has admitted it occasionally), but he often forgets that, and takes strong positions that are go against the medical and scientific consensus. He's not a doctor and he doesn't have all the facts right about trans physiology, and he's said some ignorant things in that regard. He is generally hated because he mixes up his ignorance with scientific analysis, whether it's about trans issues, or about COVID, or anything else.
And I know some news articles have been happy to misrepresent some of the things he said, and that's bad. Because the people who already don't like him are more willing to believe out of context quotes. But he already says enough that is terrible at face value, and making things up doesn't help anyone.
If you want to win elections, the party has to be something people want to vote for. Right now, the only thing the Democrats have going for them is that the other side is even more unhinged. Simply being "less bad" just isn’t enough anymore.
Now you are mixing some things up. "The Left" consists of a large group of people who are not Democrats. Most of the left didn't particularly want Harris, they just understand the reality of the American two-party system. We are still critical of the Democrats because we want them to represent us more, but we support them because they are the most left viable group we have.
That said, the Democrats have a LOT more to the party and platform than "less bad than Republicans." Historically, the Democratic administrations usually created a stronger economy for the middle and lower classes, while reducing the national deficit. They have made important strides for climate action. They continue to push for health care improvements. Harris' campaign included specific issues and plans in her platform.
The trouble is that many people just ignore these things. A lot of Republicans just don't believe that democratic policies often help them.
And the less politically involved people don't even bother to read any of these things. They just see the news headlines about identity politics that are pushed by the media. These are the people who generally fall into the trap you are describing. But no amount of us bringing up the real political platform will ever be as memorable as the headlines saying that someone is mad at someone else about something.
I don't care for this
