As a huge NFS Underground fan, The Crew is the only game I've played that comes close

Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

I'll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

And then I'll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that's *too* hot

And how many millions of people are fairly good at being a software developer?

I think "fairly good" was an understatement on my part... Tim Berners-Lee got a knighthood for being "fairly good" as a software developer, as he invented the worldwide web. Kier Starmer got a knighthood for being "fairly good" as a public procecutor for handling a number of cases of national importance extremely well. What have you done that has significantly changed the country for the better?

You've got to consider the difficulty/seniority of the job, a general doing a "fairly good" job is more likely to get a medal than a private doing a "fairly good" job who'll get fuck all

He did a fairly good job as the head of criminal prosecutions in the UK for around 5 years, and he was knighted to recognise that when he stepped down

"The conservatives and lib dems look pretty proportional to me. 10/10 voting system" /s

Personally I know more people who've moved away from Labour than to it, I just acknowledge that people outside of cities exist and that I live in something of a bubble.

Refusing to accept that is the sort of thinking that gets Reform so many votes as many people in large cities forget that the majority of the population don't live in cities, and so don't suffer from the problems there so much (higher cost of living and lower labour availability than rural areas) and so don't care so much about progressive or socialist policies.

EDIT: sorry, it's late, I misread, I'll keep this up and maybe edit again later because I'm too sleepy to respond to what you actually said right now

Nobody thinks we're going to have a truly left wing government, as for whatever reason vanishingly few people want to vote for that.

I wouldn't if I were you they're the scariest of the lot

Even if you're not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

I wouldn't call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it's a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.

It'd make it simpler if they skipped the shortlisting part and just treat the ones you added to the shortlist as "agree" policies though; it also would vastly increase the usefulness of the tool as well.

Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think "yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with"

It'd be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say "I agree with this" or "I disagree with this" and leave it at that

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
