Probably hoping to crowd source the engine development to reduce costs, but honestly no idea.

tldr; the developer of Eve ("CCP") is going to open source their engine

I mean, okay fair enough, this is a longstanding thing that's happened though. It's pretty rare for incumbents to be challenged within their own party (and this is normally not a controversial thing).

It's also less that "nobody could" and more "nobody [with a remote chance of winning] did."

There's no "right to rule" here, that's entirely a retroactive facade that's contrary to the facts.

Are you actually advocating for the assassination of political rivals as a means to restore abortion rights? That's a pretty hot take if so.

Or are you just pointing out that congress "does stuff" that congress agrees with (i.e., that presides should not be able to assassinate political rivals? -- I haven't seen news of such a bill FWIW).

Interesting; granted it seems to be a campaign advisor's opinion stated as-if it were fact so I'd wager that's probably more bad reporting than it is a campaign promise.

That being said, he ran as the adult in the room to get us back from the right, and was NOT expected to run for reelection.

I don't know where this idea started, it's certainly something I expected him to do.

Not representing a majority in policy and having a super low approval rating isn't a reason he can't be a good leader? Is there any reason my neice can't be a good leader? Also, it is not normal for the president to be this old.

The approval rating polling is questionable not to mention so many people just blanket disapprove of the guy they didn't vote for in the current political climate.

Not representing a majority in policy is almost definitely a lie, especially when you consider the wide margin the Democratic platform wins in terms of the popular vote.

Much of what Biden's admin has actually "done" to the extent that any president really "does anything" is pretty popular in my view, infrastructure investment, domestic manufacturing investment, alliance building, defense of Ukraine, reduction of dependence on foreign energy, debt relief, etc

court takes away bodily autonomy from 51% of the population

government does nothing to pass a law to fix it after Biden campaigned on fixing it

And this is where our civics competency completely fails us. There is very little Biden can do here by himself, we have a Republican controlled house. What is he supposed to do? He has no legal authority to do anything at the federal level.

Monarchy... Really...? This is not even remotely close to a monarchy situation.

This is the real answer. People didn't care enough to pick better in primaries. Democrats didn't have one (largely from tradition) and Republicans actually voted for Trump to be their guy.

As a home owner, the cost of "what you'd have to pay to own the home" is extremely variable and to an extent down to dumb luck.

I think it's sufficient to say no individual should be able to rent out more than X number of homes where X is what that individual could reasonably take care of. I'm okay with corporate rentals, particularly in the case of complexes as well.

Basically, I don't think small business or individuals that live in the area that do rentals are the problem. If someone wants to rent out houses as their primary source of income ... sure why not.

It's like anything else though, there needs to be reasonable limits to stop gluttony. I think a limit of "you can have 1 rental property" is way too low though.

I think there's a reasonable argument for local (and responsible) landlords to exist. Not everyone wants to be tied down to a property or have to worry about repairs.

Why was my post "Plans 50% For a Limited Time" post (https://lemmy.world/post/7756292) down voted so heavily without comment? It was an official news announcement on (a pretty good deal) from Standard Notes themselves.

I've never seen a reaction like this from any other lemmy community.
