- Comment on Two Games With The Same Name Released At The Same Time, So They Decided To Work Together 2 days ago:
According to Video Game Chronicle, when No More Robots learned that Neon Polygons “didn’t have the finances” to release on Switch, they decided to publish the platforming game so both games could release together.

In May of 1784, Washington paid several unnamed slaves 122 shillings (£6.10, equivalent to $195 in 2025) for a total of nine teeth to be implanted by a French doctor, who became a frequent guest on the plantation over the next few years.

It sort of dies out before the first 1.58^-5^ of a lightyear. But be my guest, consign your offspring’s offspring’s offspring to the consequences of your wanderlust.
Moreover, there’s a humongous range of possible radiations, temperatures, elemental combinations, gravitys, pressures. The range necessary to keep a human alive is a one dimensional sliver on the pie chart.

The practical universe ends where the solar wind meets the interstellar medium. Baring scifi plot contrivance extra-luminality, this is it for us.

The first step to keep eggs in multiple baskets is to start with the cataclysmic greenhouse effect in the first basket.
Wanna colonize space? It’s a centuries long undertaking, and you should start from a stable foundation. Especially considering, any long term habitation is gonna be fostering an ecosystem from scratch, so you kinda really wanna model that on a stable ecosystem.

What is the motivation behind the money? Why are they really doing this?
We want to colonize Mars and maybe the Moon, not because it is easy, but because we have a mistaken belief that it is easy!
Asking “Cui bono?” will get you most of the way to an understanding of what’s going on… but sometimes there is no benefit, and rich powerful people are just acting on mistaken assumptions. Like, the assumption that a Mars (or any other body in the solar system) will take anything less then slow grueling highly sophisticated intricately organized staggeringly terribly carefully coordinated work for like 12 human generations.
- Comment on never forget 1 month ago:
Since we’re all fighting about it, the version of WTC 7 I heard:
Buildings above a certain height tend to have magnesium charges installed, so that in the even of catastrophe (like say two hijacked airplanes), they can be brought down in a controlled manner with as little collateral as possible. I’ve heard WTC 7 was accidentally wired up alongside the twin towers, so when the call was made, it came down as well.
Is that true? No fucking clue.

Gotta give credit, I stole this insight from Cory Doctorow.

AI is a tool to do mass layoffs without making your stocks devalue. What happens after all the major companies do mass layoffs? Not a question investors are interested in, so it must be an externality with no barring on economics.

I’ve heard Pharrell agrees with this read. From what I’ve heard, he was contracted to write a song for something and the execs kept turning him down, so in his frustration he wrote the most shallow cheerful song he could. He thought they’d recognize that and reject it to, but they loved it.

- Comment on A reminder 2 months ago:
You are saying that capitalists own the means of production, while “little capitalists” don’t.
I don’t think its useful to lump in high-income professional work with the low end of capital accumulation. The sums may overlap, but the actual class interests don’t, at least not entirely. Good analysis should recognize the distinctions here.

I’ve always wanted to ask a flat earther why I only ever see full moons in the eastern sky at night and never the western sky. I don’t suppose they’d have a canned answer, so I’m curious the to the response.
- Comment on How to get attention around here. 2 months ago:
I was using “markets” interchangeably with “capital”. I do agree with what you, I don’t think you can escape markets as a social phenomenon, and at the same time they cannot be allowed to decide our political future. Our current setup is tantamount to ductaping the lever down on a lawnmower, and declaring that the “wisdom of the engine” knows what needs trimming.
- Comment on How to get attention around here. 2 months ago:
Markets incentivize and reward selfish behavior. A different system would incentivize different behaviors.
I swear, it’s like we’re stuck in the 20th century when it comes to this. It’s like designing a multiplayer game. Throw a thousand people in a RUST server, they’ll behave one way. Throw that same thousand into Deep Rock Galactic, they behave completely differently.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 2 months ago:
Gotta disagree here. You can have capitalists without them being in control of the state. That’s what most of Europe was during the early modern period. Capital existed, but political institutions were mostly still geared around the aristocracy and the Catholic church.
