Imagine this: we have socialism and a planned economy. A new technology is invented that automates a ton including your job. No worries. You get paid to get retrained in a new field and you can keep living in your apartment cause you’re not charged to live there. All is fine.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com

I can’t begin to tell you how incredible localization teams are.
They don’t “just” translate - they rewrite jokes and idioms to recreate the same emotional (or funny) in a different culture and language style, and give invaluable advice on character, regional dialects, and cultural norms

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:
For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.
