I tried to play this game several times and could never really figure out what I was supposed to do and why I was supposed to do it.
I am glad to see some good developers supporting their community. We need more of these.

- Comment on Was Reagan's second term like Douche In Chief second term? Where it was finally revealed Regan had full alzheimers for the majority of his second? Were there signs the public saw something wrong? 1 week ago:
There also wasn’t social media and news companies still had this sort of “you respect the office” mentality. I don’t know that they would have come out with some expose if there were a link, for instance.

As many flaws as Reagan had, he actually was a very intelligent person who cared deeply about politics and had the experience to back it up. It makes sense that he was surrounded by like-minded people. He was still a horrible person who made the world a worse place, but he was reasoned and not a hack.

I am surprised at how often I will do something like “Play ‘The Apple Orchard in Saghmosavanq’ by Tigran Hamasyan” and I get back “Now playing Christina Applegate”. It’s like AI latches on to they biggest keyword it can detect and focuses on that even if it violates part of the search parameters.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 5 weeks ago:
In parts of the world, paperwork is managed with stamps and a mark. Your doctor in latin america will stamp a blank prescription pad with a stamp that has their name and license number. They will then make a recognizable mark over the stamp. Same with your lawyer and all government offices. The point isn’t that someone can use handwriting analysis - which is just fluff - and rather that they possess the stamp and those who would read the paperwork recognize their particular mark.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 month ago:
Sure they will. Many prosecutors are so bombastically driven to succeed that they will prosecute a case they can win even if they know it is not justice because winning at all costs is the only thing that matters to some.

Assuming a prosecutor takes this to court, they will have to provide evidence during the probable cause hearing. If it goes that far, it will get dismissed if there is no evidence. It’s more likely that the prosecutor does nothing unless there is something they have unknown to you or you are not telling us something.

- Comment on The Republican Party used to be very big on smaller government. What caused them to turn into the party of big government over reach? When did it happen? 1 month ago:
It was always a lie. What they mean to say is that they won’t pass laws that create taxes or put in place systems that protect people from capitalists. That’s it. Other than that, they are happy to put all the money into war and the police.
- Comment on A lot of people who try to start a religion are seen as mentally ill. Like Jim Jones, David Koresh, the UFO guy, and L Ron Hubbard. Then could it be a safe bet that Jesus was mentally ill? 2 months ago:
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus was a cult leader who pissed off the authorities and got himself into trouble. He tore families apart and caused great strife to those around him during those times. The fact that this became a worldwide religion is horrific and has set back human development by millennia.

What’s truly amazing is that they do this sort of thing ONLY because other people want to protect the Earth. This is done specifically to spite others’ feelings.

I agree. There’s very little funding for services that protect children. Foster children are commonly sent out of state due to lack of resources and are completely lost out in the system somewhere.

I actually think that “schools of the future” will do this. Especially when mathematics are concerned. It does no good to get feedback a week after you have done the homework and already moved on to the next topic. Feedback should be immediate so that any errors in understanding can be corrected. The exception would probably be writing a paper, which can occur over at least several days.

Yes. The time to find that job that you really want is when you have the job you can get. Also everyone is applying for every position that even remotely touches their skillset whether they have the experience or not. This is just how it works these days.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 2 months ago:
Only a VERY tiny number of people see complete black. Most blind people are more functionally blind than literally so. That is, their vision is so bad that they need some sort of accommodation to adjust. They DO see the world but not in the way that typical vision does.

- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 3 months ago:
They beat me to it haha! People into jazz, classical, world music, progressive metal, etc would certainly rate things vastly differently from people who listen to pop music alone. These studies only target the averagest of persons.

Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.

They did the survey repeatedly over 11 years and the line spores the average across all years.
