  • Bernie didn’t stand a chance because both of the “parties” are corrupt af. More candidates that don’t require some corporate controlled party to endorse them to actually show up on the ballot, is exactly what we need.

    You can then take it further by outlawing absolutely any lobbying and sponsorships of political campaigns; have an equal amount of funds set aside that allows each candidate an equal amount of airtime/advertising/etc.. You could take it even further by having a government owned and dedicated channel for each candidate to showcase their agenda and goals that they’d like to run on, with proper fact checking and ability for voters to hold those candidates accountable post elections.

    Simply saying “more candidates won’t fix it”, is the same as not doing anything at all. We need to separate all the corporate parties and interests from our democracy.

  • They fucked up the game with the early seasons and finally turned things around starting season 3, and had great improvements through season 5.

    Now they are literally force junking ALL the gear, seasonal or not, to make the same endgame that existed before, take longer.

    So instead of actually working to add content, they:

    • half ass implemented runes, which were already a copy from D2, but implemented them in a broken way
    • turned glyphs into legendary gems of D3, but not as good again
    • split levels into more gated tiers, with no added value , knowing full well that the only tiers worth playing are going to be the ones that actual give you chance of decent gear
    • made loot drops a fucking joke, where even a tormented lvl 200 boss drops 3-4 items, of which ONE might be an ancestral, but it still has the huge shitty attribute pool, ensuring that most of the time, you’ll just be tossing life per second rolls.

    Out of the 9 people I actively played D4/D3 with, all of which were excited for the expansion after seeing how well the last couple seasons went, not a single one bought the expansion and will likely be sitting out the next seasons until Blizzard gets their heads out of their asses once more.

  • As someone who takes kids to speech therapists, it is not the same. Casual conversation is critical to help correct speech impediments, that practice with a therapist alone would not give.

  • Glad to see other folks have noticed this as well.

    As a longtime Destiny fan, I was so excited to have Halo come in and take the spotlight and giving Bungie’s lazy ass a run for their money.

    Instead halo flopped almost as hard as Anthem. Fucking sad.

  • Destiny has not been fun to be into much for a long while. As someone who bought every expansion since day 1 of Destiny 2, my friends and I just got tired of Bungie blame game and will wait for when the expansion is on some dirt cheap sale to see the end of the story.

  • The switch does struggle running higher resolution graphics; I can emulate BotW/TotK to look much better on PC simply due to having access to a stronger GPU.

    4k gaming on PCs is still hard to accomplish without a high end machine, so I still think we will be seeing improvements with generations; at least until 4k gaming can be done on mid level hardware.

  • I don’t think people mean it’s the doctors fault or that they’re sitting around doing Jack. The frustration is that doctors time is so packed full that they don’t have time for all those things, which is an administration problem.

    Clinic/hospital admins want to pack the doctors schedule full of 15min increment appointments, where they’re expected to see the patient, diagnose/treat, and complete notes/charts within an incredibly short amount of time.

    Worst part is that most of the time this is not done because the clinic is having trouble making money, but because they want MORE profit from every person walking into their doors.

  • After a successful pilot, we are making Direct File permanent and inviting all 50 states to offer this free filing option to their residents,

    Taxes are federal - unless the state wants to pay for the cost of my choice of person to file them, why the fuck do they even get a voice in this?!

  • Avelon App @lemm.ee

    Native Video Player for Video/Gifs

    I think Avelon has become one of the best Lemmy apps for iOS, but there is one issue that is preventing me from buying into Pro and making it my default: inline video only for video and gifs.

    This is such a huge drawback to otherwise great app; the native player has simple, intuitive and familiar controls; allowing users to switch to horizontal, mute, pause, rewind/forward, etc.

    Is support for the native player disabled intentionally or is this something that is in the works?
