The problem is that red light cameras incentivizes cities to encourage dangerous driving, because it is now a revenue source. Multiple cities have been caught illegally shortening yellow lights because shorter yellow lights cause more red light violations, yielding more money for the city and also increasing the rate of accidents at those intersections.

One thing LotR does very well: lets men show emotions that aren't anger. Frodo smiles, shouts Gandalf's name excitedly, cracks a joke with him, and gives him a hug. That's how you know they're old friends.

The new attitude, coupled with a cost of living crisis that leaves many younger generations unable to afford a party lifestyle, is having a knock-on effect on the nighttime economy.

Title is blatantly misleading. Gen Z wants to party as much as their predecessors did, they literally just don't have the money to do so.

You forgot the part where millions of people still write in Donald Trump based on the widespread conspiracy that he's still alive, and we get to figure out what happens when a state tries to elect a dead man.

It's legal because the people who benefit from corporate lobbying are the same people who determine what is legal.

Not to defend Trump in the slightest, but it was my understanding that the President isn't actually required to release his taxes; it's just a tradition that literally every other presidential candidate has conformed to. You know, to show that they're trustworthy, which is why Trump never released his.

Don't even need a new game. You could clone pokemon by turning the game off mid-trade. My school had a kid that got a Mew from an event, then cloned it for everyone who wanted one.

Oh good. Now they're literally paying the karma-farming bots to spam recycled and stolen content. That will surely end well.

There's also the matter of future developers to consider. I'm in the process of looking at game engines to learn, and Unity has decisively crossed itself off the list. Even if current studios and developers stick with Unity, startups and novices would be foolish to pick a game engine that might suddenly decide to charge them out the ass with little to no notice. Existing developers have the issue where they already have tools and experience with Unity, but newer folks don't.

So we're keeping the reddit trend of posting any tabloid-level "headline" about Musk as if it's technology news?

Hey CMDRs! I'm pretty much brand new to the game. I've dipped my toes into a handful of the games systems (hauling, mining, combat, salvaging), and started making credits a few million at a time to upgrade my ships. I'm starting to feel a little lost in terms of overall goals, though; just building up my wallet for the sake of it is losing its luster. What kind of goals should I be looking at to work toward?
