Went to a diner today, got a patty melt and a chocolate shake. The shake came with one of those aluminum cups with extra in it. Good things are still possible.

Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.” That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear www.thebulwark.com/p/two-more-g...

watched wrestle kingdom 20 and Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match. What an excellent match and a total tearjerker at the end. The camera work in NJPW is also always just so good.

The game in which the premise is "the odds are real but gamers struggle to conceptualize or even believe them" has negative reviews from gamers who don't believe the odds are real (game: Unfair Flips)
A 'Not Recommended' Steam review with 4 hours played

Review text reads: It's a decent idea for a game where you flip a coin and depending on your percentage chances you get heads or tails. However the odds are a lie. You will flip tails 100 percent more than you will heads no matter what your percentage is. Even when you get it up to 60% you will still flip tails way more often then you will heads.

The Dev can try to defend it, but when I flip the coin 2500 times and only hit heads a third of the time even when at 60% then the odds are broken or a lie. I've also watched gameplay and seen fellow players have the same flips so I know it isn't just me having bad luck.

Still not bad for $2, but I'm saying no because the game is coded against you instead of it being fully on chance and luck.

You can have story. Or you can have data. Story is choices. Data is no choices, just more stuff, but presented with no weight, value or sense. Just more. We are watching the tyranny of the takeover of story - of choice, of taste, of craft, of meaning - by the data people. Horrible.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Looking at steam reviews for my game. Saw someone that left a negative review after 350 hours. Then they played for 400 more since they posted their review 20 days ago. That's a gamer.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
