It’s unfortunate that there are negative stereotypes of vultures as creepy just because they eat carrion, as they’re the janitors who take care of the messes that others don’t want to deal with.

The way Mario seems to teleport when turning around in the water seems to say something about the way hitboxes worked in the original DKC1.

Thanks for the encouragement to just jump in and do stuff, gaming and otherwise.

I’ve found myself having a hard time finding dedicated time to play games (i.e. without worrying about something else “over my shoulder”) and I’ve also found myself seemingly unable to “learn” new genres of games despite my wanting to get into them (so I often end up playing genres I’m already familiar with). I suspect these are related, and I also suspect that just jumping in and doing stuff more spontaneously will probably help improve things.

Twitter is no longer a bird anyway.

Update: the city of Plantation has just added an event!

Project: City of Plantation note: only covers Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am

Again, note that the project covers the whole month, even though the special event is on a particular day.

I clicked on it expecting just a simple “they’re genetic clones and they’re susceptible this same disease”, but this is quite a bit more depth about things. Thanks for sharing!

Well, it seems the Lila’s Sky Arc key has been claimed, and/or I’m not figuring out what Theta is.

Thanks for offering it anyway.

Woohoo! We did it! With (literally) more heart than originally planned!

Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Well I accidentally made a heart shape with the lower O.

Now I kinda wanna keep it lol

By far, the games of Nihon Falcom.

I think 37°C is 98.6°F, i.e. normal human body temperature. This is, somehow, hotter. But the sea being even near this temperature is…a problem.

I think this area is relatively shallow so it can get hotter than the bulk of the seawater in deeper parts, but these are still crazy high temperatures…

For what it’s worth, according to Google Maps, that’s probably not much of a beach spot; forests (presumably mangrove forests) seem to line much of the land on the edge of Manatee Bay.

I’ve generally found that avoiding the biggest crowds seems to also avoid some (though not all) of the worst behavior. More specialized subreddits, communities, and magazines tend to be more chill, and also more focused on their topics.

It’s arguably so easy to “farm karma” that I accidentally did it for a while. Just kept posting silly puns to reply to stuff people post on the Florida Man subreddit.

Reddit karma ain’t worth much at all.

On one hand downvotes are an expression of negativity, but on the other hand downvotes are an outlet for negativity.

Meanwhile, I’m scratching my head trying to figure out why a bunch of the top comments here got like one downvote each, lol.

Honestly I don’t think an algorithm needs to work very hard to “be mean” like that. Sure, you can purposely put people with clashing views in each other sight on a place where people go to hang out and have fun. But you don’t even need to go do that on purpose. To some extent, people naturally produce more “engagement” with stuff that’s controversial/argumentative.

Imagine if I were to walk past you and say some completely innocent comment. Now imagine I were to walk past you and insult your favorite movie/show/song/game/whatever. You’d be far more likely to respond in the latter case.

So, as people respond, more activity is generated, and that makes the post “hotter”. Simply boost what’s hot, and you have a veritable litany of controversy.

Then stop making big vehicles for the U.S. auto market and stop only selling big vehicles in the U.S. auto market!
