So braininabox@lemmy.ml reported my comment as uncivil and it was removed, but the content of my comment was just a couple of emojis seen here: (••) ( ••)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) where as braininabox literally called me a "little shit" in the comment I was replying to. can my comment be reinstated please? This was in the 'why wont democrats even try progressive policies' post

This might be a minor issue in progressive messaging, but conservatives are not watching fox news like they used to. I'm sure a small percentage is, but most MAGAs I know personally believe that Fox news betrayed Trump, and they've switched to watching Newsmax. Also, talking to my MAGA friends and family, they believe that Newsmax is the only truly 'conservative' and thus reliable source of information, and every other source of journalism is just liberal propaganda, including Fox News. I don't exactly know what to do with this insight but I've realized that progressives and liberals keep attacking Fox News and I don't think most of us have realized that Conservatives have switched to a more underground right wing propaganda source. Just for clarification, I dont think Fox News is liberal in any way, shape, or form, but that's what some MAGA people I've talked to think. Edit: I think the danger is that the MAGA propoganda machine has gone underground, and fox news is a decoy to distract everyone from what they really think.

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?

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 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)

This can help slow the spread of mis-information and help your family make better voting decisions in the future.

So the democratic party seems to be in a civil war right now between the old guard like Schumer and the more progressive side like Bernie and AOC. But the conservatives seem to be fractured themselves based on some of the town halls we’ve been seeing, even if the media wont report in them, which could lead to more republicans fleeing to the democrat side making it more right wing. However, It’s clear the old strategy may wasn’t working and many on both sides want more progressive ideas. But was the failure of the 2024 election enough to shake up the party? What are your thoughts?

so I have the RB2D collision layer just for collisions, and I have a area2d collision layer for detecting contact between cloned nodes, but it doesnt detect the two earth nodes touching unless I set the area2D collision mask to layer 1 and I'm not sure why.

Let me preface with, I really enjoyed the game and couldn't put it down but after beating the Outer Wilds base game, I have thoughts and I think this would get down voted to oblivion in the Outer Wilds group so here I am. This is just my experience but the game was sold to me as this inventive organic puzzle solving adventure where you'd stumble upon clues and solve puzzles but in reality it's a journal scrap hunting game. There are circular glyphs on every planet that tell you how to solve almost every puzzle. I spent 5 hours ignoring these glyphs cause I assumed they were nothing more than lore dumps but in reality they are progress gates. I assumed this game would work more like Animal Well where the game tells you literally nothing and you have to experiment with your tools and knowledge to solve puzzles but nope. I'd hesitate to even call this game a puzzle game, it's honestly more of a casual exploration game which there is nothing wrong with that, but seems more accurate.
