    Yeah, lol, it was common back in the Napster/Kazaa/Limewire days to see Teenage Dirtbag shared as a Weezer song, and Blister in the Sun shared as Green Day. I even believed the latter for a few weeks back in middle school.

    Better late than never, right? Here's a screenshot of a couple of my custom roads, there's the one with the BRT lanes in the middle, and then the intersecting road on the left side is my custom narrow 4-lane which occupies the same width as the vanilla 2-lane road.

    Also, bonus diverging diamond interchange in the background.

  • Tim Walz Accused of 'Anti-Semitism' for Master's Thesis Saying Holocaust Was Not Unique

    It's funny that Walz is preaching nuance and critical thinking, and yet the people who purport to agree with him in this thread apparently can't synthesize your point. The Holocaust is a stark reminder that genocide will not only continue, but will be improved and augmented by new technologies and ideologies. Like you said, though, that doesn't make it worse than others. I think the issue you're running into is that the point here is Walz is being subjected to ad hominem to distract from a broader discussion on the nature of genocide because such discussions are bad for Israel and their conservative benefactors in the US. Folks ITT probably have it in their heads that you agree that Tim Walz is an antisemite, but as it turns out, two things can be true. The Holocaust is unique in a particular sense, but that is not what Walz is talking about; in the context he is speaking, the Holocaust is not unique. Essentially, the Holocaust, as a vivid and well-documented case study, can and should be a window into the broader history of genocide and human rights abuse.

    I agree with Walz here, the Holocaust was not unique in the sense that genocide is an ongoing feature of human history and events. I also agree with the dude elsewhere in this thread that the Holocaust was unique among genocides, because it was the first industrial genocide. That doesn't make it worse; we don't need to play victim olympics. In the grand scheme of things, Walz certainly should not be called antisemitic for saying that we shouldn't hyperfocus on the Holocaust at the expense of understanding the prevalence of genocide in general, and we should realize the reason he's being called antisemitic is because, right now, it benefits Israel to derail any broader discussion on the nature of genocide.

    I have worked hard to remind some of the Trump-voting Massholes I have the pleasure of interacting with on a regular basis of this. I think I've made inroads with at least one of them. I also make sure to bring this up:

    "The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy."

    Trump committed negligent homicide in blue states for political gain.

    Most recent social security trustees report says the trust fund will run out in 2035. What happens in 2035? Benefits are still funded at 83% in perpetuity. By the way, last year it was going to run out in 2033, and the year before that it was going to run out in 2031. And also by the way, the trust fund was specifically set up because they knew the baby boomers were going to stress the system, so it's supposed to get depleted as the boomers use it.

    Everything is working mostly as intended, and yet there's all this anxiety around Social Security. Why? Because Republicans want you to think Social Security is fucked all on its own so that you don't question it when they ratfuck it. That and they want to constantly frame the conversation as such so that the conversation doesn't turn to "how do we make social security more robust and generous?" or some other radical socialist nonsense.

    I've had some pretty long commutes in the past because my work location changes every few years. I enjoy the work, though, so that helps, but I've still been feeling the OP lately. I'm in my late 30s and I don't have kids and "fun" doesn't really do it for me anymore. More and more I need to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile instead of aimless hedonism. I'll figure it out, though, it's just time to make some, as you say, necessary changes again.

    It was the naval ensign of Massachusetts up to 1971, and I guess still is, just with the words removed. As a proud Swamp Yankee, I say to anyone using it to support a fascist coup attempt, and especially anyone from New Jersey - fuck right off.

    Code mods are great, maps and assets are in there but not officially, so compatibility going forward probably isn't great for those. Full modding support is being worked on and is one of their highest priorities, so I'm not surprised there wasn't much discussion about it. Asset mod support is "before summer" so they've got another month according to their last statement on it. PDX Mods has some bugs but overall it's actually pretty slick and functional, and they've made a few highly requested improvements to it already.

    TDT goes to a lot of effort to make his grand village believable and gets some great results. It's an excellent demonstration of the flexibility of the vanilla tools and the realism that's achievable out of the box.

    This looks like it may be officially sanctioned, even... I wish I understood Japanese.
