I ride a bike to work every day. I'm never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won't get run over by cars.

He made the games worse, but that doesn't mean he made them less profitable. Those are sadly distinct goals. The CEO does not have an incentive to make good art.

It's fine if you disagree with their design philosophy. They don't want 8 extra plants made by an intern in their game though and that's their prerogative.

Apart from a period where Mojang added useless creatures like the polar bear, it's not comparable. The vast majority of things Mojang adds, they try to add a unique slant that makes the addition relevant in some way. Mo Creatures mobs are almost all useless apart from looking different. The sniffer has unique mechanics, adding 500 plants would not make it any more mechanically interesting. They're not looking to drown the game in retextures.

I'm so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

Not to discount it as a problem.. but a lot of Eastern Europe has this issue. Hell, not even just Eastern Europe. Fascist parties exist in most places, Ukraine does not really stand out in this aspect.

100%. If you are a car wanting to pass a bike and there is an oncoming car, you wait behind the bike for the other car to pass before overtaking.

This road is also probably super rural and does not have enough traffic for this to become an issue. Overtaking and oncoming traffic is not a constant given how sparse the traffic is.

The employees might not have money for a car since they get paid a shit wage.. which means having to walk through the car infrastructure.

Or you could design cities to have green in the first place by designing for better modes of transport than cars. Cars take up a huge amount of space both while traveling and while not in use, instead of spending all that money and space on cars you can have public transit, cycling infrastructure, walking infrastructure, and greener cities.

In the case of GDPR it is not just for simplicity. It's because companies that operate in the EU need to provide those protections to all EU citizens, even those across the pond. You cannot check if someone is an EU citizen so if you operate in the EU you effectively need to treat everyone like an EU citizen.
