  Life has convergent evolution. It’s like when devs on different branches solve the same problem over and over again without telling anyone else or merging back to main so no one else has to code the same shit over and over again.

  Do.you know what the Night of Long Knives was?

  Because you seem to know very little of actual history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that why they literally fought him in the streets?

  I will say, the game is remarkably stable compared to what it was a few years ago. Especially pistons and rotors.

  But yes, it still crashes randomly. About once or twice an hour.

  And I got SE2 running. No crashes there, but I don’t like creative mode, so play SE2 much less.

  I am excited for the upcoming SE2 survival mode

  I know. Tried a few things from that site, but no luck on SE, and SE2 is under active development so I’m waiting on it for a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For SE2, it’s likely a version issue. But that game is under active development, so I’m waiting on it.

  For SE1, well that one is a bit of a mystery… It probably isn’t. I have a few mods.

  I play a lot of Space Engineers, and it randomly crashes… No idea what’s causing it.

  And Space Engineers 2 just doesn’t launch for me.

  There’s likely a config option that could fix things, but I don’t know it.

  Every other game I play is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you ladies doing tonight ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a bit of an amateur mixologist as a child, and the top machine was my pallet.

  But what was more, the corner store gas station that was down the street from my childhood home had multiple machines, each with 4 or 5 different drink options.

  Years later, a friend of mine worked there as a summer job and told the friend group to avoid the fountain drinks so we did, and probably all still do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ding dong ditching used to surge whenever that one episode of the Simpsons played.

  Because kids will be kids.

  The injuries and deaths seem more linked to adults losing their God damn minds watching Fox News

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make America Great!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly there were Nazis in the US government before and during WW2.

  The Dullas brothers are the prime examples. They spearheaded operation paperclip, which rescued Nazi scientists and moved them to the US.

  The Dullas brothers are the reason why the US loved arming South American dictators from the 50s onward.

  They also pulled a Japanese war criminal out of prison and put him in power in post war Japan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't you creating more workers??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.

  That’s how you see a spike in birth rates.

  To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.

  See, easy.

  See my first sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If that embyo goop isn’t your property, it should be.

  And if you’ve broken into the fertility clinic, that’s definitely a crime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The gameplay loop was solid, but not completely original.

  But the lore of the world was interesting and was dolled out fairly well. Neat little chunks of lore that felt like a reward when you get them.

  Add in great art and music, and you have a game that you can build a fan base on.

  Add in the free expansions and fan friendly developer, and you get a robust fan base.

  Which leads to expectations for the sequel.

  Depending on how far along the prep work on the gourd was, it may have decomposed.

  You can say that was mostly the Romans. If you needed a calendar fucked up, they were the ones to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live dangerously with my fully up to date Arch box.

  But I also have an LTS Ubuntu box that’s been humming away in the background for about the last five-ish years? Just a quiet little file server, doing its job and being ignored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When everything is fake and we continue to believe it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was the same timeframe where ol Vincent was testifying in front of Congress that wrestling was completely fake and didn’t need to be regulated like an actual sport, no need for drug testing or safety equipment because it’s all fake right?

  And the Congress critters are it all up. Never acknowledging that while the ending is predetermined, the path to get there is still incredibly physically demanding and a mistake could result in actual injury or death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When everything is fake and we continue to believe it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being boring didn’t make them any less harmful to those not of the chosen few.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost any is fine, but if you want a distro optimized for gaming, Garuda has been treating me quite well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pass me to your interior designer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You still need screen to keep the bugs out. And the squirrels can fit through the holes and get at the screen.

  So yeah, this design is kinda bad. At least in areas with squirrels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self starter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If by vibe for the rest of the time you mean constantly watch for various forms of life threatening danger. Then sure.

  Still a better time than constantly watching out for Manager Mark.

  The Air Force may have split from the army in 47, but some traditions carried over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're unstoppable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vegeta killed Yamcha once, and Buu killed him a second time.

  Technically it wasn’t even Vegeta, it was just the little green men that Vegeta and Nappa had seeds for.

  Krillian was actually alive to see that death.

  As for the death by Buu, that was being turned to chocolate and then being eaten.

  Krillian still has him beat on number of deaths, picking up an extra death on planet Namak.

  The fact the HBO is a brand dating back decades, and they abandoned it for a generic Max was the true stupidity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FANTER⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the orange soda that we think of might be Crush, which debuted in 1911.

  Tang would also like a word.

  But really, the most popular orange based drink, is just orange juice. That or Mountain Dew, which is lemon, lime, and orange plus lots of sugar and caffeine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FANTER⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies open subdivisions in other countries. These subdivisions are often responsible for full operations in that country.

  Coca-Cola opened a subsidiary in Germany sometime after the end of the first world war. (My Google fu has failed me)

  The main company stopped sending syrup to Germany after 1939 or so, but didn’t close it’s German subdivision. The German plant manager then created Fanta out of ingredients that were available to Germany during the war.

  And then after WW2 ended, the main Coca-Cola company regained control of their German subdivision, and adopted Fanta as a brand.

  As a note here, Coke was one of a bunch of American companies that were extremely friendly with the Nazis.
