I reject your notion that there is a proper english to which all other variants can be measured up against

I get where the first paragraph is coming from but the Tony Hawk games were always fairly punk and full off 2000s-gross-out-humor, in as much as a multimillion dollar product can be.,

Especially once you get to things like Underground or American Wasteland. This was adjacent to Bam Margera MTV-antics and Jackass, if anything casting milquetoast Tony Hawk as your posterboy would’ve backfired tremendously if that was it because what sold was edgelord / dudes rock stuff.

I suppose their plan included being able to leave for gas and supplys at will which both seems to make for a dumb blockade and what the fuck is in the trucks?

The whole premise of question 2 seems set up to go full lib “well maybe the exploited should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps like [one in a million case of an african billionaire I googled 5 seconds ago” but instead it goes full “human suffering doesn’t register to me”.

Like the strawfigure-esque whatever OPs picture is arguing against? That woulda been a slamdunk for the other libs.

I feel like point two kinda goes hard against the idea of a meritocracy the libs are supposed to have. Surely this should’ve been something about bootstraps or learning to code

I think it’s less culture war or “progressive” issues and much more rooted in being self-serving. If you’re young, which generally tends to mean little wealth, even your selfish interests align with more leftist positions.

Once the mony starts rolling in though, your self interest changes though. I mean, at least under the premise of all the usual brainworms. They’re the same people, just different wealth.

I’m gonna do an effortpost some day about how people try to mash together “thing I think is cool” with “entirely different problem” and the brainworms of that.

I can’t tell you how many projects I’ve seen where everybody was fully onboard digitally archiving miles of files and then once it’s done everyone is like “uhh so now what” because they didn’t think farther than to do the cool tech thing and now they’re stuck with 10 terrabytes of digital files that should’ve been thrown out in the 80s

DECT ranges up to 100m easily and if you ever need to turn your dishwasher on from a distance more than that, that’s on you
