You say as if it weren’t always like that. Because it definitely has always been like that from the dawn of civilization, sadly.
These corporate instruments are quite efficient. Unfortunately you and I just happen to disagree with the rich and powerful about what we should be efficient at doing
Yeah, I sort of feel like something like this would be a horrifying death process followed by an afterlife of “yeah, ok, that was a pretty funny way to go out.”
You can only hope that the end arrives quickly with something like this.

West Virginia. No I’m not kidding.
They will pay you $12,000 to move there. Housing costs are absurdly low. Morgantown is a thriving university town close to Pittsburgh. And the eastern panhandle has a lot of access to VA & MD.
Move there and vote please.
I’m deeply skeptical of any and all utopian ideas. They have this mysterious tendency to wander down paths to authoritarianism because we, as a species, are more defined by our ideas of who and what we are than by anything else in our existence.
When an idea becomes an ideal, people become willing to kill or die in attempts to bring that ideal to fruition, no matter how vain.
In fact, this is how I self-edit my own beliefs about the world and myself. “If the cards were all really on the table, would I be willing to proudly die in defense of this idea?” If the answer is yes, then I cling to that as an ideal that I strive toward.
All human lives matter equally.
It is important to lift up those who have less than I do.
Any small effort to alleviate the suffering of my fellow humans is meaningful.
There is always hope.That is the utopia I choose to live in deliberately every day, and what I appreciate most is that it is resilient to the whims and chaos of this world that I can’t control.
I’m mildly obsessed with HK lol. I only got it in Dec 2022 and I just beat The Radiance for the first time a few weeks ago. I can’t seem to manage it a second time, so I literally just bought the game on Steam and got an Xbox controller because it’s more responsive than my Switch. I’m not sure what happened to my life haha
(Still waiting for someone to get my reference though. Not HK related :)
With that username and you don’t say Hollow Knight right out the gate, I am disappoint 😂
(Seriously though, OP, Hollow Knight is cheap and amazing.)
Yes, but have you tried this medical diet that cures all human illness? I mean, how do you really know until you’ve tried? You see what I’m saying?
😑
All I remember for the Atari 2600 is Space Invaders. I loved that game lol
Let’s face it, this was always their plan from the beginning. Those who have enough wealth to move anywhere in the world they want were never going to be the ones negatively impacted by Brexit, so why should they care? Pass the legislation, get their payday from their sponsors, then flee the country leaving the little guy to suffer the consequences.
It really is though. I’m super excited for you :)
I’m not a gamer.
I beat the original Contra on NES and I’ve barely played anything ever except the first Animal Crossing and AC:NH during the pandemic.
I picked up Hollow Knight for Christmas last year and it’s the first game I’ve played to completion in literally 35 years. I just got [no spoilers] ending with 105% completion like two weeks ago.
I can’t begin to convey how much I love this game. It’s definitely what I’m (still) playing this week.
The Harvard scholar is being accused of deliberately fabricating study results by changing data in a spreadsheet on at least one of the studies.
I think the other commenter mentioned lack of replicability because that’s often one of the first indications that the original research results were fraudulent. Inability to reproduce will cause people to go digging through the original data, which is how this stuff gets found in many cases.
3·1 year agoYeah, I’m in the “have to have WhatsApp” camp because it’s the only way I can stay in touch with a bunch of international friends now that I don’t have a Facebook account anymore.
There are alternatives, but I don’t press about it because at least Meta doesn’t monetize WhatsApp…for now
Facts in Motion vids about flood basalt volcanoes and extinction events:
I really wish he were still making videos.
Similarly, Nick Zentner’s lecture on the Flood Basalts of the Pacific Northwest. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this exact lecture (although all of Zentner’s stuff is great):
Vsauce’s Which Way Is Down. Of all his videos, this is the one I keep going back to:
The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)
