[Discussion] turning innocent mistakes into deadly accidents - Lemmy.World
I think the most insidious thing about car culture is just how society now
accepts preventable death as a consequence of the ‘freedom’ the car gives us. It
turns harmless, absent mindedness into fatal tragedies of finality. What, on a
tram, would be an ‘oops, sorry I bumped into you’ in to a collision at 40mph
with 3000lbs of mass each way. Or what would be a ‘sorry, didn’t see you there’
and maybe a scraped knee on a bicycle, into a side swipe at 65mph leading to a
rollover leading to red paste on the asphalt. These arent 1 to 1 comparisons but
i find the fact that we just accpet this as the norm to be really telling how
far car culture has taken us away from our better instincts. And it’s sad how
many people wont even give the idea of greater transportation diversity a
thought despite the dangers cars pose.
What's the video game equivalent of fast food?

What's the video game equivalent of fast food? - Lemmy.World
Could be a genre, a developer/publisher, or franchise. What’s the video game
equivalent of fast, not particularly good, but maybe a guilty pleasure?
The second amendment referred to militias, not individuals

The second amendment referred to militias, not individuals - Lemmy.World
The very idea that a bunch of rag tag untrained gun toters would stand up to a
disciplined and hardened fighting force is ridiculous. The authors of the
constitution fully intended for the rights of the people to form regulated
militias with amrs shall not be infringed, not just any loonatic off the street.

seen here: (••) ( ••)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) where as braininabox literally called me a
“little shit” in the comment I was replying to. can my comment be reinstated

Why won't democratic leadership even try progressive policies?

Why won't democratic leadership even try progressive policies? - Lemmy.World
The republican’s control every aspect of government, tRump’s policies are
pissing nearly everyone off, and yet the democrats approval ratings are still
slumping, they are not seen as a viable alternative. I dont blame people for
rejecting the democratic party given how they aren’t willing to push back agains
the right’s lies or really stand behind their own principles, how they get in
there own way on building new infrastructure with red tape and bureaucracy, and
how the exaggerate their smallest victories they get like cutting the cost of 10
drugs. Why can’t we go back to FDR style polotics like fighting for the average
american by promising the things people actually want, like healthcare reform,
worker’s rights protections, stopping wage theft, free school breakfast and
lunch, infrastructure reform, affordable housing/rent, reliable and affordable
public transportation, an end to corporate welfare, affordable groceries and
gas, etc.
What do you think MAGAs response would be if Trump started coming for people's firearms?

What do you think MAGAs response would be if Trump started coming for people's firearms? - Lemmy.World
Trump has shown that he doesn’t care about the constitution by violating the 5th
and 14th amendments, and he’s toying with the idea of violating the 22nd and
MAGA so far has been complicit. Do you think they might say something if he
comes for the guns?
If they made an Elder scrolls tv show, what era and country would you want it to take place in?

If they made an Elder scrolls tv show, what era and country would you want it to take place in? - Lemmy.World
Would you want it to be like the Fallout show with a new story, or would you
want it to follow one of the games that we already have. If you want a new story
and/or setting, where and when would you like it? Me personally would like to
see it take place in Elswyr
I’m an idiot, I had the detect path pointing to the CollisionDetection instead of just to the Area2D, when I removed \CollisionDetection from the path it works like a charm and prints the group that the Area2D is a member of! thanks everyone for your help!
Help. Need help with adding Area2D to groups dynamically

Help. Need help with adding Area2D to groups dynamically - Lemmy.World
I have instances of this area2d object that spawns and is added to a group
dynamically. when they collide I want them to say their name and the group they
are in. right now they report their name but not their group and I can’t figure
out why, when they instantiate they report the group they are in so it looks
like they’re in their group but when they collide the group is missing. var
type_groups = [ “pluto”, “moon”, “mercury”, “mars”, “venus”, “earth”, “neptune”,
“uranus”, “saturn”, “jupiter”, “sun” ] func set_type(t): type = t # Adjust for
paths or hierarchy var shape = get_node_or_null(“CollisionShape2D”) if shape:
shape.scale = Vector2(type_sizes[t] * 5.5, type_sizes[t] * 5.5) var detect =
get_node_or_null(“Area2D/CollisionDetection”) if detect: detect.scale =
Vector2(type_sizes[t] * 5.7, type_sizes[t] * 5.7)
detect.add_to_group(type_groups[t]) print("added to group: ", type_groups[t])
var sprite = get_node_or_null(“Sprite2D”) if sprite: sprite.scale =
Vector2(type_sizes[t] * 1, type_sizes[t] * 1) sprite.texture = type_textures[t]
func _on_area_2d_area_entered(area): print("Collision detected by: ",
get_name(), " | group: ", area.get_groups()) set_contact_monitor(true)
