Please do not perceive me.
So make them fucking stop. “We’ve always done it this way” is the worst possible excuse for maintaining status quo. Just because things have always been shit doesn’t mean they are cursed to always remain shit. They are, but only unless and until people do something about it.
Hah, I have this problem but in complete inverse.
I play a lot of roguelikes co-op with my roommate, things where you’ll level up and have a choice between a few upgrade options. I’ll scan my options and have one chosen and be ready to rock in 5-10 seconds, but he’ll sit next to me and agonize over his decision for a full minute, and ask me my advice, and a lot of the time what ends up happening is I end up just making his build for him because I have time to analyze and select my choice and then also look over and analyze and select his choice before he ever makes a decision. My man’s analysis paralysis is off the charts.
It’s not like he’s just generally a dumbass, though, he’s a smart guy and this is one of the same guys I play D&D with and while he occasionally does the same during those games it’s a lot less prevalent. So it’s not like he’s just dumb, he just gets caught up overanalyzing his options. It’s endlessly frustrating to me but not enough to make me want to stop playing games together.
Our other friend that we game with sometimes has the opposite problem than that, where he’ll get presented three options, read the first one, and go “yeah that sounds good” and immediately take it before even reading his other two. Honestly I hate that way more, I roast him about that every single time.
It’s matching the pattern of unchecked unpunished corporate greed
The gates of the afterlife shall be barred to you. Neither the succor of Heaven nor the suffering of Hell will await thee, o cursed one. You will walk the Earth a silent ghost until time itself fails to persist. There shall be no rest for the wicked, from now until the collapse of all things.
You can see him realizing it real time in his facial expression, it’s great
Yes, and it isn’t close.
FemV just feels like she fits better into the story, to me, but that probably has to do with the better voice acting. She feels more like she belongs in night city.
Nah, it isn’t.
When the options are a) possible suicide by ICE or b) freely allowing your wife and/or daughter to be whisked away to Little St James never to be seen alive again, I’m taking option A 11 out of 10 times. No one is taking my family away to some blacksite unless they do it over my literal corpse. You’ll have to kill me first. End of story.
If you don’t agree, go ahead and get a divorce and move out right now because you don’t deserve that family.
“As above, so below” is a pattern that’s almost universally recognized for a reason. The galaxy atom model may not be accurate, but lots of things in the world rhyme at different scales.
This does, however, lead to the existence of “local groups”.
Meaning that, there is a local group of celestial bodies that we may theoretically be able to visit at some time in the future, which are held somewhat together by gravitational forces which help to counteract the expansion of space. But anything outside of that local group will be expanding away from the group at greater than the speed of light.
Meaning, effectively, that the universe is going to be / is already separated out into small pockets of local neighbors, who will never be able to reach other local groups unless they invent some sort of much faster than light travel. The universe is very, very large, but the percentage of the universe that is physically reachable by us is quite small, no matter how many generations we spend on the journey.
Personally I find that to be one of the more disappointing true facts about the universe.
Canada has the opportunity to do something very funny

There’s a good reason we’ve had alcohol for almost as long as we’ve had civilization, and I think you hit on some key points of it here. It’s a social lubricant, many important meetings and decisions of history might not have happened without a little drink to loosen some tongues.
That’s not to say that it’s good for you, but alcohol has been present alongside human evolution in sort of the same way that dogs have. We go waaayyyyyy way back together.
Honestly might be an even harder flex than just being the only Caesar
Obviously Peter would never be compelled to military service, so it’s fine if everyone else is.
No kidding, this cat looks like it could bench press a German Shepherd
Yeah, it should be tax funded and overseen by an independent oversight group.
I don’t know why this is such a difficult thing. Access to information is necessary for a healthy society. Things that are necessary for a healthy society but aren’t profitable should be tax funded, that’s the purpose of the taxes.
The people specifically elected and appointed to hold him responsible to his oaths of office have abdicated their duty.
Many of the rest of us are busy being shot, arrested, and/or deported about it.
Ultrakill has become a trans meme for some reason I can’t identify and is no question my favorite shooter I’ve ever played, ever, and it’s not close
So I recommend checking that out I guess
Jokes and puns show a mastery of the language they’re written in.
I know a little Spanish, I can write technical documentation in Spanish well enough with some translation assistance. I can’t make a joke in Spanish, though. I especially can’t make a pun, which relies on knowledge of both the joke and the “straight intention” of the pun.
If you can make a pun in another language off the top of your head I’d probably consider you fluent in that language for all intents and purposes.
Thing is, I really don’t care if it’s just PR, so long as that PR involves taking good actions.
It’s the same way how a fear of eternal damnation and hellfire does not by default make you a good person, but it can cause you to perform the same actions as a genuinely good person would. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if you were really feeling it or not, as long as you acted like a good person.
I feel the same way about the rich. I don’t really care if you really want to be a good person or not. If some billionaire’s entire philanthropic history revolves around strictly just not wanting to get eaten by the peasants, that’s fine by me. I don’t really care if you really love trans kids in your heart of hearts, but if you donate some of your money to helping them, it keeps you off my dinner menu for another day.
We can’t expect the rich to be good people at heart, because that doesn’t really ever happen (with some VERY rare and VERY special exceptions), but we can compel “good” behavior out of them if they fear the unwashed masses. For me, that’s good enough for most cases.
