A good game doesn't have to be that deep. As a matter of fact, I don't have time to invest in a game (or show) that deep. Give me endless 42 minute episodes of easy to follow formulaic slop that I can watch as I cook dinner for the fam after getting off work.

NMS has found their niche of easy fun mini games in a vast somewhat predictable universe. They aren't trying to capture players who are looking for the kind of deep stories and mechanics like you and that's okay.

Another good example: My uncle is a father of 5 with a job who occasionally has time to jump onto NMS and run a quick mission. Over the last decade he's racked up 1k+ hours of distraction. 10/10.

Jollyllama ,

I think it's hard to argue that NMS is objectively not well executed.

They saw the lowest of lows at launch and clawed their way back to a 80%+ mostly positive rating with consistent 10k+ player count most days.

Some may not enjoy it and that's their opinion but they are pulling more player numbers and higher ratings and most other 10+ yr old games.

Jollyllama ,

hopefully.

Jollyllama ,

I think if they keep the heroic journey + dragons concept and some.of the characters it can be a good show. They should not keep to the source material.

There's a Democrat in NC making Republicans sweat by switching her party affiliation from D to R. It's actually the dumbest thing ever.

Is Trump owned by a foreign power? Maybe.

Is Trump owned by the billionaire class? Definitely.

This is a stupid article selling a sensationalist story when the truth is playing out everyday with shady crypto deals and ballroom "donations".

Wicked was my first favorite about a decade before the movie was made. Saw Hadestown live and it's quickly tied for first!

Gotta get that 3am fetch session in!

Jollyllama OP ,

Ha! I'm thinking of 3D printing a mouse launcher so I can save my shoulder from huckin the mouse

Jollyllama OP ,

Mine will only fetch the mice, she once brought us a real mouse in the middle of the night.

Jollyllama OP ,

When we moved out of my house I found my missing air pod under the oven where my little lady had lost it. 😂

Jollyllama OP ,

I think the longest we've played fetch was may 30-40 minutes before I gave up. I'll need to try for a marathon, a fetch-a-thon

Jollyllama ,

Got mine at 22, drove twice before taking the test and barely passing

Jollyllama ,

That's a very interesting recipe.

I do mostly meat recipe, everything goes through the grinder.

80/20 ground beef
Chicken breast
Chicken legs with bones
Chicken feet
Chicken liver, gizzards and heart
Beef liver
Salmon with skin on
No salt added bone broth
3lbs blueberries

I try to keep to 80% muscle meat. 10% organ, 5% bone and 5% blueberry.

We adopted a senior obese dog heading to kidney failure and after a year on the raw food she reversed course and is now a very healthy old lady. I did try to cook and eat it once but the bone bits harden when cooked and it was very unpleasant.

Jollyllama ,

One of the best I ever did was left over Chinese food.

Jollyllama ,

It's never not worked tbh. I've done chow mein noodle, pork fried rice or crab rangoons.

Another amazing pizza that I've had is mashed potatoes with bacon and scallion. Ottos in the New England area makes it and it is the best.

TLDR: A well funded and developed brainwashing machine vs the mind of an 18 year old will end in tragedy. The Israeli government is doing generational damage to its own people and this is just the beginning. There is no excuse for the genocide but there are reasons.

I had to serve 3 years in the IDF 2013-16. I spent a year trying to get out of it using medical issues but then the police showed up to our door. I spent 3 years fixing armored combat vehicles at an engine shop.

When you grow up in Israel you are surrounded by pro military and anti Palestinian/Arab propaganda. At 16 they call you in for a physical and that's where the brainwashing really kicks in. The next two years of high school you're thinking of finals and graduation, prom but also what unit you and your classmates could end up in. My school had a program where you spend time on a military base to "try it out". They draft you at 18 years old, you've just graduated and you've received a letter from the government telling you what unit you're in and when to report. You may hate the Israeli government you may think Palestinian should have rights but the social pressures of serving have been hammered into you for years. Now you're on a bus taken to a remote military base where they put you through all the brainwashing and cult building tech they've perfected over the decades. You're just a kid out of highschool already conditioned to follow authority and now they're yelling at you to run, shoot and protect your new best friend you made in the army. They tell you that every Palestinian at the check point is a threat and show videos of Palestinian resistance to make sure you're scared. You hear about a soldier who fell asleep on a bus and got stabbed in the neck by a Palestinian fighter. You hear about a police officer shot at a checkpoint.

These kids are committing war crimes while deep in a cult that tells them it was right. When they leave and see reality it will cause PTSD and suicide for those that can't live with what they've done. The feeling when reality conflicts with your brainwashing hits hard.

Imagine looking back at your teenage years when you were an idiot by instead of cringe you recall shooting innocents that a system convinced you were out to kill you.

When I first drafted I was not aware of the Palestinian struggle but over my 3 years, even though I wasn't in combat I started to realize who the bad guys were. I tried to transfer to the humanitarian arm of the IDF that allegedly does outreach to Palestinians but was denied due to my low physical score. If I had protested and dodged my draft it would have ruined my life, I did not live in a progressive town or household. To this day I don't know any other pro Palestinian liberation people from my old social circles.

I used to cut pineapple at a grocery store, before I learned about the enzymes i'd get chemical burns on my arms where the gloves didn't reach.

I knew a guy who would unbuckle his seatbelt when driving in New Hampshire because state law says its optional.

When the researchers conducted spatial learning and memory tests using the Barnes maze, the aspartame mice at four months consistently moved more slowly and covered less distance during training than animals in the control group. They also took nearly twice as long on average to locate the target escape hole, showing impaired memory recall (however, this was inconsistent and not seen as statistically meaningful). By eight months, performance gaps widened even further, with two out of six aspartame-treated mice failing to complete the task at all.

It makes you dumb, unfit and fat (around the organs).

Jollyllama ,

Phew, thank God I'm not a mouse. I'll keep drinking my diet sodas.

Jollyllama ,

Yeah, water loaded with fluoride, estrogens and heavy metals. I'll stick to my diet coke

Jollyllama ,

At least it makes it taste good. Brown sweet fluoride water is tastier than plain stinky fluoride water from the toilet.

Jollyllama ,

On site no less.

Legacy car brands have massive investments in ICE vehicles. They have the manufacturing and logistics figured out and running as smoothly as ever. Now we are asking them to pivot? Do you know what that will do to their short term finances? Decimated. The shareholders will not like that one bit. The tax credits helped soften the blow a bit but instead of making a platform built for EV they had to go and make trucks and SUVs. They could make a small EV, Chevy Bolt was a fine small and efficient EV...nobody bought it. Why? Because it was built like a subcompact economy car with a mid range price tag. Who is that for? Those that can afford it just finance an extra few grand and get a model 3. Those that can't afford it get a 2005 Camry.

The $7500 tax credit was a gift for those that could afford a $40k car.

It's like the legislation was written by the legacy automakers (and oil lobby) themselves to slow EV adoption.

Must be the flat feet

Conflating religious Jews with the nationalist Zionist governmenr is what probably caused this attack. Jew ≠ Zionist.

Jollyllama ,

Saying it's just ignorance and zealotry is a cop out. The Zionist state wouldn't exist without massive investments from the west. They secular politicians use God to rally the Orthodox but their goals are ultimately colonial and capitalistic. There is an ungodly level of media and sentiment manipulation going on to paint either side the way you just did. If we all believe that either side is full of ignorant zealots then there's nothing we can do to fix it. Let them kill each other for eternity, flatten Gaza and kill all the Jews. There is nothing we can do about it so why do anything?

Abbot Elementary apple sticker ads are clever, minimally invasive and I argue that this is what advertising should be.

This is a creative, tongue in cheek ad for a comedy about school teachers. Teachers stereotypically are given apples so its related.

You cannot compare this to the Pluribus fridge ads or car infotainment ads which make no sense other than "get more eyes on it".

Jollyllama ,

Well said.

There will always be slop advertisements. I avoid traditional advertising by pirating or paying for an ad free version. I do still watch ads in the form of product reviews and such. There are great products that I found through advertising that I otherwise wouldn't.

There is a lot of awful advertising and I'm numb to it, my brain doesn't even register it.

The problem is bad advertising works. My job is related to the text messaging industry. We have clients that spent six figures on sending marketing messages, for every dollar they are spending on text marketing they are making 5x more in profit.

I like to think that there will be a shift in advertising towards more thoughtful placement as consumers learn to ignore but honestly I think that's my own bias. Most people are susceptible to slop advertisements and so the slop will continue.

It's a fun show and even more fun if you've ever worked in education.

This was written for the socially left Zionists who have either never been to the west bank or only experienced an Israeli government catered trip.

Having grown up in a west bank Jewish settlement I can 100% tell those people that whatever comfort they may get from this article is based on a lie.

There are just as many awful labradoodle owners yet labradoodles are not out here killing people. It is the breed, it's always been the breed.

I hope more broadcasters drop out. Either it'll force their hand to expel all genocidal nations or make Eurovision a joke and viewership crashes.

Going to have to push back on the not economically viable bit. Once you factor in not paying for online play and being able to pirate all your PC games it's a much better deal.

Jollyllama ,

A nice console is what? 500? Last year I could have bought all new parts and likely meet the same performance or very close to a console. At $600 I think I easily exceed the performance.

Its a lot harder in 2025-26 because of RAM prices but I am confident you're wrong on the cost thing.

You win on not having to build it and ease of use.

The idea of paying a subscription for something I already own to have a basic functionality is 100% unworkable for me. The last Xbox I owned was the OG box and I still have a PSX.

60 isn't that old. My grandpa turned 85 and rides 50+ miles a week, he hasn't fallen since he loves somewhere where cars can't run him over.
