    They can afford to cover the liability. These companies are richer than God. It's about control, imo

    I've got a niche talent for 2D slider puzzles, what can I say? Thanks for making, and promoting, a fun game.

    I reload the page, still the same message.

    Any thoughts?

    Lovely little game. I'm having a strange hiccup though - any Node I tap, gets rotated twice. I cannot only rotate around a Node once.

    Also, I cannot click on the readme.

    I'm experiencing these issues on mobile Firefox browser on a fully-updated Google Pixel 8, as well as on the desktop Chrome browser on a Windows 11 laptop.

    Considering the vast number of "thin blue line" flags flown in response to the murder of George Floyd, there is a lot of people that support the cops, particularly after they murder Black and brown people.

    So, to a certain sub-set of the population - one which is particularly white - the cops are doing the things they want.

    Being rich while visibly "not-white" has seldom been enough to save you in this country, unfortunately.

    Us hosting the World Cup (and later the Olympics) should be boycotted, not just internationally but internally as well. We - the United States - are a danger to anyone who visits us, and that danger knows no economic boundaries. All the danger cares about is your melanin content, and whether or not your country is considered "woke" by the fascists in charge.

    Not all children are like those you're describing. There's always going to be right-wing agitators, fascists, racists, neo-Nazis, etc. among the younger set. There's also always going to be forces pushing back against them, from within that generation and from without.

    The problem, imo, isn't that the "steering wheel is in the hands of idiot children". The problem is that the steering wheel is in the hands of white supremacists. And The United States' white population does not seem to be equipped, at all, to deal with it. In fact, a significant portion of the white population agrees with the white supremacists in power, or at the very least has no problem with the arrangement.

    How do we fix that? We could say the same thing that we always have - increased education, sensitivity training, and the like. But that doesn't necessarily get at the rot of white American culture. I wish I knew what would; but the bigger issue is, are white Americans willing to adopt changes to "their culture" to accommodate people with less pale complexion?
