Kinda crazy how those same construction and civil engineers are going to be investigating if the normal means of protection for this very foreseeable event was done correctly, because we design things to avoid these head on collisions:
Also, not for nothing but even if they find out the dolphins in place were sufficient based on prior standards...this event will likely update the standards, same as the sun bridge in the 80s. Regulations and best practices are written in blood.
Sigh. Evergreen:
If you want to scratch that "players have their own genre" itch, you might look for asymmetric gameplay. There are a few video games, Death by Daylight being the most famous, but many in the "monster vs party genre". There's a shark one I can't remember the name of, and a few eothers. There's also Davigo, a VR game where the VR person plays a giant floating head that tries to smack a little person running around, played by your friend on a regular PC in FPS mode.
Sort of tangent to those game, of course there's your hero shooters and MOBAs, which are much more aligned objective wise but with very different gameplay per hero. I'm a sucker for DOTA which has very different heroes, and then there's your Team Fortress or Overwatch style FPSes too.
You've also got really expansive games where you have access to all the gameplay loops but people can pick what they want. Think like a multiplayer Stardew Valley. Elite Dangerous comes to mind as a game where you can go do space dogfighting, space trucking, exploration, or mining - and they all play pretty differently. You can even combo, like mine dangerous areas with a fighter escort to protect from pirates who want to fight.
Really outside video games, but closest to what you're talking about you might like the board game Root. It is a board game (though there's a PC version), but it plays VERY differently depending on which forest creature you are. Cats play a traditional conquer and control (think Risk), the Birds play an action chaining card game (think like a deck builder), the Racoon does his own like exploration game, etc. but they all interact in different ways when their goals come at odds with another. It's an awesome, super creative game. Big fan.
I think maybe the young folks haven't heard of cultural imperialism?
I don't necessarily agree with you but I'm upvoting you for adding to the conversation, because I think you have some nuggets of truth but miss some of the forest for the trees. Particularly, that they did make Falcon and Winter soldier that addressed some of the issues you're talking about.
Regardless it'd be cool if Lemmy were like old reddit before it got big, where even if people disagreed with you they'd engage and dispute your points rather than just calling you a racist and hitting downvote. Just makes discourse devolve into "both sides" screaming at each other with their fingers in their ears.
Democratic party might just get more conservative to match, since a lot of the effect is anti Republican, not necessarily that millennials are somehow magically going to stay progressive unlike every generation ever.
I mean your point is taken, but Washington Area Bicyclists Association does amazing lobbying in the DMV. We also have some of the most bike friendly drivers around, paired with pretty good infrastructure for the US. It's a super needed lobby.
I bought a pack of trader joes smoked salmon to take to a brunch last weekend but I couldn't end up making it, and I ended up eating the whole thing myself over a few days.
It was a revelation.
DaE Le gUiLloTiNe? Eat the rich!! Everything is a conspiracy, nothing is a result of complicated systems and incentives!
Make sure to at least cross post it over at [email protected]. We haven't had content in a while and your stuff would fit perfectly.
Salmon, pistachios, cashews, fresh berries. Still wild to me that I can afford them as an adult.
Feels like an army corps of engineer training exercise, especially after Biden committed to help rebuild. Be really interesting engineering coming out of both the cleanup, rebuild, and post accident analysis.
