Just what Big Street wants you to think…
If it’s boring and generic, how is it also nonsense? That seems contradictory to me, but maybe I don’t understand.
I like Wolfie’s Just Fine’s song about this exact experience https://youtu.be/qG8iAtpavK4?si=VzTW2qGWlJ7Lg9f0
Don’t worry about it too much. I don’t think this current trend will completely overtake the word “weird”, but even if it does, you’ll still be good-weird, Republicans will still be bad-weird, and people will know the difference, no matter what we call those things.
I feel like there might be an emerging market for a car company that makes new, safe cars with very low tech computer systems.
Ah who am I kidding, I wish there was a market for all kinds of functional-but-not-enshittified products out there, but the complete lack of them shows the entrenched powers that be will stomp out any attempt to upset the terrible status quo.

If he wins, the only valid (legal) studies can be performed by watching a lot of YouTube videos. And the only way you are allowed to publish your study results is as a 2.5 hour YouTube video.
It was quite nice, but the number of elevators that were out of order at major tourist attractions was bonkers. Good luck in Paris if you have mobility issues!
Yeah, and they say the same things repeatedly, too!
Holy shit, it all checks out. President Garfield had a nephew named Rutherford B. Lasagna who he gave a high-ranking position to, just two weeks before he was assassinated.

Yeah, I understand. Look I’m as orange-man-bad as they come, but I’m tired of both sides trying to tie things to a president that they didn’t actually have anything to do with. (And with project 2025 I know that Trump may actually decimate the EPA, the Chevron ruling already did incalculable damage to all of the agencies. And yet I STILL don’t want to read about how “Biden’s EPA” did something he probably wasn’t even aware of.)

Why is the word “Biden” in the title?
An automated system keeps running, even when something it has no way of detecting is happening!? How unexpected!
Now, if people still have to pay the tickets even after contesting them, that’s fucked up. But the fact that traffic cameras don’t suspend activity in the event of an airstrike doesn’t really strike me as news-worthy.
Heck yes, I binged this game over a weekend where I didn’t see many other people and it put me in a weird headspace that was perfect for this game. I really enjoyed it, very unlike anything else I’ve played. If you’re just playing it to beat it, you might not enjoy it, is my guess. But if you’re in the mood to dig in a bit more it’s a lot of fun to learn about the characters through the different websites and messages.
I’ve recommended this game to friends and coworkers and I don’t think any of them have gone for it. Ah well. This game will always hold a special little place in my heart.
EDIT: If you weren’t alive back in the days of AOL and angelfire/geocities/Myspace websites, you might not enjoy this game as much. I think you might still enjoy it, but the nostalgia feeling for that bygone age was a big part of the appeal for me.
The only thing that will stop kids making finger guns is more good kids with finger guns.
I’ll give you $10,000 to swap brains with you so I can play it for the first time again 😄
I was going to say “ahh, too bad the Internet isn’t really helpful for that method of learning”, but with AI who knows, maybe that’ll be something your computer can do before too long
Maybe for you, but there are use cases where traffic data isn’t vital, like driving in small or medium sized towns where traffic doesn’t ever get too bad. Or road trips where there is only one feasible route, and any other way would take hours longer.
But yeah, traffic data IS awesome, I’m not arguing with that 😄
Ahh, the ole reddit switcharoo
