Totally agreed. Unfortunately I don’t see it happening in our lifetimes.

Would love to be wrong here though.

It happens semi-regularly. Unfortunately it doesn’t turn out like you’d think.

The company immediately bankrupts itself, but all of its assets and funds are protected by S-Corp and LLC chicanery; so they end up paying less than they would have if they stayed afloat and got fined, and now they’ve got a “new” company with the same people doing the same thing that’s protected from lawsuits.

Because that’s how we designed the system.

And by we, I mean the oligarchs that keep us fighting among ourselves instead of at them.

Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.

I agree with you, but that’s not what happened here.

You don’t want the state to get used to committing extreme violence with their citizens.

Being motivated doesn’t change 300 year old bullshit laws that remove the democratic power of of all but a handful of swing states voting.

There’s roughly half of congress that is on the same side as her traitorous piece of shit ass.

Why would he pick a fight with the only group in the world that currently supports him?

You should read up on the whole ordeal. The article is failing to summarize the lengthy legal battle that’s been happening between them for years since Musk’s takeover.

Unfortunately, those of us that make games in Unreal Engine are stuck writing a lot of C++, unless we want to do everything in BPs (no thanks, they’re fine, but it’s not coding, and it’s difficult to maintain and refactor for complicated projects, they’re good for taking C++ components and building bigger components out of the base C++ functionality though).

With that said, UE’s support for C++ is decent. Which is, that as long as you tag all your fields, properties, methods, classes, etc. with some UnrealEngine attribute filter (like UCLASS or UPROPERTY), Unreal will handle the memory management of those constructs for you. Which is nice.

Unfortunately it has some other limitations to the C++ language that you can’t work around, like disallowing pure abstracts because every C++ derivative class based on any UE construct (Actor, Character, Pawn, etc.) has to be instantiatable in the editor. So no pure abstracts and such.

In general, I’d give it a 6/10.

It’s still mostly C++, but some of the things suck less.

Do it! I got one of Madisonseating.com on a sale they had going and have zero regrets, other than I wish I did this much sooner.

Honestly, some two part epoxy smoothed around it and you’d be gtg. And getting high off the fumes it gives off for the next three years…

That’s a fair critique.

The issue comes down to imperialism imo.

Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.

This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They’ve been doing it for millennia, and it’s been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.

It’s also why non-western nation-states aren’t as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It’s not really a part of their ethos as a culture.

What a fucking weird thing to say.

Not solely. Kids shouldn’t have such an unhealthy image and mindset pushed by the array of social media influencers out there. It’s always easier to blame the parents, and they certainly have some responsibility here and shouldn’t be absolved; but it’s a symptom of a much deeper problem in our society that lets this happen.

Kids will get things from other kids to do/try behind their parents back, tale as old as time. We need to fight against the portrayal of beauty standards being equated to the value of a woman.

After we do that, then it’s solely on the parents. But not until then.

The pin holds a thing called the “spoon” in place. It’s secured with a hole in either side of it as it attaches to the “neck” of the grenade where the pin going through it secures the spoon to the neck of the grenade.

When the pin is removed, the spoon is free to come away from the grenade. Usually this takes more than gravity, but not “too” much more. Sometimes the force of removing the pin is enough to rattle the spoon loose/off from the grenade neck, triggering the fuse, in the case of most frag grenades like the one pictured above, the fuse length is pre-cut to be around 4 seconds, until it reaches the payload of TNT at the core of the fragmentation casing, exploding.

Til, thank you

Yeah. It’s a template for fascism. Just like trump is attempting.
