China and India are the west's environmental painting of Dorian Gray. We pretend we're so good because we get them to burn the fossil fuels instead and just import the final product so we can pretend they didn't just burn the fuels for us.
That's not just environmentally unsustainable, it's not economically unsustainable. You get materials from one country and ship them to another country, what role does the third country play? "Oh well we're designing and managing everything!" Yeah, good luck with that. As if the entire country running the factories can't figure this stuff out without our help and eventually do.

Have you been to a dealership lately? At the rate we're going the choice won't be between a limited range car and a full size vehicle, it'll be between a limited range car and walking.
An f'in minivan is 70 grand. That's nuts.

I've said it a lot before, if we're going to do EVs, we need to reconceptualize what a vehicle can be. Trying to replace our internal combustion with a primitive simulation isn't going to help.
Tomorrow we could have governments pass laws to make it easy to build, sell, own, and drive tiny city cars with a limited range and speed that could be manufactured right now and sold for less than $5,000 and could charge on a standard 120v receptacle. If this was the pressing emergency people are pretending it was, it could reduce transportation energy requirements massively, and quickly. Instead the same people claiming we're in a crisis and need to eat bugs and live in pods will claim we couldn't possibly allow these things that might actually make people's lives better, because it was never about anything they claim it's about.

One of the many ignorant ideas these people have is that people from third world countries will continue to flock to western countries.
They're only going to come if there's something worth coming for.

No, See uncle Adolf was saying "death to THE jews", these guys are saying "death TO the jews", it's completely different! No problem at all!
"lest we forget" they keep saying. We forgot. This isn't what my grandfather suffered for. He didn't watch his best friend die right in front of him so we could have an authoritarian with a French name instead of an authoritarian with a German name telling us what to do, he fought so his grandkids could be free.
Remember that always.

A lot of companies don't realize your last game sells your next game.
Bethesda last put out fallout 76 and ten thousand Skyrim re-releases.

Yeah, it's about a meter actually. I've used it for figuring out distances for ordering material.
This is one of those things that's completely obvious to anyone who isn't a kool-aid drinking cultist.
"no no you don't get it we'll invite the people who hate our culture in and they'll suddenly become mind slaves who follow our culture completely because our culture is so innately superior that it's committing suicide."
The boomers lived before most of these things. The zoomers would have to figure out everything from scratch.
"Your google search doesn't trump my degree"
"Yeah, but my common sense and dead tree library sometimes trumps the fact that you're an idiot no matter how many pieces of paper you get claiming the contrary."

I feel like these things are not mutually exclusive.
Except that they are mutually exclusive, for different reasons.

Final Fantasy Renaissance is a free remake of FF1 for PC and Mac using Unity. It has a bunch of new features such as new classes. I'm presently playing as a dark knight, a dragoon, a blue mage, and a white mage. If you're into new takes on janky old games like I am, you might want to take a look.
