This is sickening. I loved Subnautica but it’s hard to imagine supporting these monsters who own the studio now. I hope the devs can maybe go start their own studio and make something new.

Well TIL, thanks for educating me.

Though it occurs to me that she was speaking with an American accent though so I’m not sure of saying she should pronounce it the British way.

I’ve played it for about 6 hours and so far it’s kind of meh. I’ll admit I’ve not made it to the full in deep desert with PVP and so forth so my opinion still might change. But the early game is kind of slow for my tastes and the script writing / story is just senseless video game tripe.

Also a side note is that so far the voice acting for the story stuff is pretty bad overall. My favorite so far was when you’re exploring a shipwreck and find a voice log from the crash and the speaker identifies herself as Ensign whoever. But she mispronounces ensign as “en-sine” which made me do this:

Totally agree. I only got it to play with friends who are into it but was hoping it would be good. The story / cutscenes are so incredibly cheesy to me. It’s almost a parody but the joke never quite lands.

New Headline: Kamala Harris Doesn’t Know Difference Between Army & Marines.

Serious answer: could be drugs/alcohol but he looks like he could be older and dementia is a possibility.

It’s always the ones you’d most suspect.

Subaru

Had a previous car that was manual. Then I bought a car with a CVT (continuously variable transmission) and it’s such a nuisance because it is always unpredictable when it will shift. So you go to pass someone, step on the gas and sometimes it takes off and other times it fiddles with shifting for a second before giving you any power. Can also be a real pain in stop and go traffic because it will have unpredictable amounts of power when starting from a stop. I’ve had this vehicle since 2017 and it’s always been this way. I don’t miss having to shift constantly but I do miss having a reliable amount of power when I’m in a certain gear - that’s what is so nice about a manual transmission. You feel more in control of the car. That said, my daily driver now is electric with no transmission and that is the best of all.

MSNBC Recap of the situation.

Basically Musk attacked Trump on Twitter over the big bill. It’s been escalating rapidly with Musk insinuating Trump should be impeached and threatening to start a “centrist” political party and Trump threatening Elon’s government contracts.

I truly hope this is the spiritual successor to the first game. I am one of those who was disappointed by Below Zero as I felt like they abandoned the core elements that made the first game so great.

I’ll confess I was a bit disappointed when they were like “We know you guys really love the Seamoth and Cyclops but no they aren’t going to be in the game.” If they just made a new (big!) map and story with all of the game play elements of the first game I think it would be a smashing success.

There’s a lot of truth in your observations. As a physician who has worked at multiple hospitals over the years I would love to share my own perspective on what you’ve said about healthcare.

Basically it’s mostly true with a few notable exceptions. Many of the hospitals I’ve worked at did not leave me feeling warm and fuzzy and I would not want to be a patient there.

There are exceptions however. The most notable would be pediatric hospitals. Every pediatric hospital I’ve worked at has left me feeling in awe of the level of care that is consistently provided. As far as my respect of other specialties goes, it’s hard for anyone to top pediatrics. The people who choose to become pediatric healthcare providers are just on another level. They are usually highly intelligent, compassionate, and patient. Things you would hope for from all physicians but the pediatric folks almost always deliver.

I also want to say that I do not have those negative feelings about the university hospital system where I did my residency training. Nowhere is perfect and I saw mistakes made but the overall level of care I saw in my years there was very much on par with what I hoped to see when I went into medicine.

But since then I’ve worked at multiple private practice and religious hospitals and yeah…. There’s a lot of room for improvement in a few of those places.

Maybe. Or the propaganda will have been so successful that nobody will discuss climate change because that’s just the way things are.

I don’t think I can emphasize enough how strong my disinterest is for wearing a camera and microphone openly recording my life for some megacorp to package/resell/abuse/leak.

They’ve always got some clever excuse don’t they?

100% agree. Also I feel like this misses the point of what is actually happening right now. Trump could be gone tomorrow and the fascists all around him would still be there. If they magically impeached and removed Trump today, does anyone really think Vance, Mike Johnson, and the SCOTUS would all suddenly become well behaved and pro-democracy?

Trump is a symptom of a much bigger sickness.

For me it started with the line about invisible threads which I thought was a reference to the quote from Henry Melvill:

We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.

Yeah no shit it saves lives. You’re talking about healthcare, my dude. Fucking of course it saves lives.

None of these clowns care about that. This isn’t an argument with a rational actor who just hasn’t seen the evidence that it works. These are greedy, sociopathic billionaires who are bent on destroying the system so they can rule over the ashes.

I think the other user may be mixing up events in their head. I haven’t seen anything about Proton’s donations but the Proton CEO has publicly made statements that suggested he might be pro-Trump.

Here is a really in depth analysis of his comments that concludes he may not actually be pro-MAGA.

I really have enjoyed the show so far but oh my gosh you are so right. He completely breaks immersion every time he’s in a scene.
