Yeah, and I’m pretty sure both sides have been using them during the war.

Don’t forget Michigan!!

Yeah, wrong thread somehow… not sure what happened

“But upon closer inspection, she discovered that the “trash” was actually a cache of artifacts that may have been used in fertility rituals more than 500 years ago.”

Might not be far off. Sometimes that gutter mind pays off😄

I think of this when Europeans on other threads shit on Americans by saying “come over here if you want that free speech back”. That was never a thing in Europe, and certainly isn’t now in the days of Palestinian genocide. Shit on Americans all you want, but let’s be accurate with those turds shall we?

Dude absolutely. I accidently got cornered by it so I couldn’t progress till I beat trumpet dude due to how it would reload (assuming i’m thinking of the same guy). I probably fought that bastard 15 times before I beat it. I’ll say I REALLY like the game. It’s absolutely beautiful and i’m loving the slow release of the lore. Even the battles (that can be really frustrating) are great because you can get absolutely wrecked 10 times, but then get the timings down and absolutely dominate the bastard. It’s really simple, but also real rewarding, I find.

Probably, though also arguably dodging skill didn’t matter, because the comparison case was not dodging at all. It was my first time playing, but I can’t imagine scaling up the experience from there to some of the bosses I’ve fought since, all without dodge/parry.

I couldn’t come close to beating the first optional hand holding battle ( literally against a little girl) on standard. I can’t imagine how they beat the game without dodging and I can’t imagine it was fun.

I mean, serious question. Is the goal to produce a pure echo chamber where no dissent arises? How far does this go. It seems like the end result of this is 5-10 large groups of peeps who have “aligned values” that can endlessly reinforce each other. I have a MAGA chud relative that spouts all kinds of nonsense. Is the best thing to literally exorcise this person from my life? I don’t know that a lot of identity driven silos is really all that healthy either.

Yes people should be safe, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that no one EVER disagrees with them does it?

I know 2 people, completely separate and accross the country from each other that have wrecked due to autopilot failures or errors or whatever. I know this is ultimately anecdotal, but it really seems like Tesla isn’t putting up pretty good numbers given my horizon.

I have a friend who says the same thing. I make fun of him (of course) but the environment IS pretty dark, damp and oppressive. I do love the architecture, but I get how it can be a bit much.

I don’t believe Minke whales are endangered either.

It isn’t really profitable. The meat isn’t really in demand and they harvest far fewer than the limit that’s set by the government. This interview with a wailer from freakenomics was interesting and touched on a lot of these issues.

Here is the freakanomics episode

BioShock baby! It has story, killer environment, lore…everything

Seriously though. They fucking called it, unironically, the metaverse. That’s a coined ass phrase. Distopian from the beginning. Weird choice on Meta’s part haha.

Good idea! Thanks for the recommendation.

Snowcrash: pleasantly surprised by the quality of the world building, which I love.

Last one I remember was in like 2012. I was searching around for a wireless HDMI system and actually found and purchased it. For WEEKS post purchase this thing kept showing up in my adds. Everyone has case after case of these fuckers reading their mind and my only story is one that was so fucked it was funny. They were always overselling their capabilities I think.
