Now we’re talking more of neo-liberal than fascist.
On that i’d agree. Maybe he was liberal early in life and drifted rightwards. Stranger was one of his earlier novels.
- Comment on ICE Supreme Commander spotted in Minneapolis 20 hours ago:
Have you read Stranger in a Strange Land? That reads like he’s a hippy, not a conservative.

I didn’t even roll like that into combat situations. Bunch of cowards.

Who wants a junior that doesn’t learn? If you tell the Ai to fix something today it’s not going to remember that fix tomorrow or next year therefore wasting your time constantly fixing their fuckups. A junior actually learns how to do things and retains that information.

- Comment on One year ago, Donald Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself. 5 days ago:
Just like he called soldiers suckers for dying for their country he probably calls all other presidents suckers for not doing the same.

Or vault 81. One side had a full community to be tested on and observed, the other side had scientists watching the experiment.
It’s just a shame hardly any scientists showed up. They’d have had some great tv to watch after starting their molerat experiments.
- Comment on Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic - Official Announcement Trailer | The Game Awards 2025 1 week ago:
I don’t buy games if they only show cinematics or pre renders. No gameplay footage, no buy. I’ve been burned too many times to make that mistake again.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t mind stealth but i usually play a solo in cyberpunk and my gameplay is often just tank hits and blast everyone with my shotgun or LMG. So to go from that to being forced into stealth is a real shock.

A lot of those are just hidden loading screens. Same with those sections of games where you squeeze through a crevice.

Cyberpunk 2077 one of the quests in the expansion drops you into basically Alien: Isolation when up until that point you can beat the shit out of or hack the brains out of any other NPC you’ve come across. You go from being a cybered out demigod to basically a rat in a maze being chased by a giant metal invincible doberman.

“What they are doing is they’re stealing money from the American taxpayer — and every one of them should be forced to leave this country.”
If we’re kicking out people who’re stealing from the american people i know one orange dipshit and his progeny that we can start with.
- Comment on Hegseth Starts Proceedings Against Sen. Mark Kelly Over His Remarks 3 weeks ago:
Depends. If it’s a military court Hegseth can stack it with loyalists. The Uniform Code of Military Justice doesn’t work the same as normal courts.
Also even if Kelly wins it’s a military affair. He can’t sue.
- Comment on Woman wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ jacket among three arrested at Sydney protest against US action in Venezuela 3 weeks ago:
The anti-protest laws give the state police commissioner power to issue a “public assembly restriction declaration” after a suspected terrorist incident has been declared. It can prevent protests and marches from being “authorised” by police or the courts, which can result in prosecution for protesters who obstruct people or traffic in a public place if their protest has not been formally authorised.
I’m not australian so i fail to understand why you guys would vote for that. Suspension of protesting rights should never be ok. If you suspend the rig to protest often that leads to violence since people can’t unleash that energy through protesting.

Here in colombia when you order any size fries from McD’s they are only a small amount. Doesn’t matter if you order large or small. Always a small amount. It makes me sad because their fries are really good even though they’re fake.
- Comment on Banana scale 4 weeks ago:
They do. Just not the versions we eat. Those are genetic clones and are propagated seedlessly. If you look closely sometimes you can see undeveloped seeds in bananas. They’re the little black dots near the center that you see sometimes.
Here is a picture of a land race banana with seeds:

The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas?

- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 4 weeks ago:
That’s not how you’d do it. You can refund anyone who made purchases during the time frame you want to roll back since I highly doubt the game state database is the same as the microtransactions database. Then you revert the server to its previous state. Everyone loses everything they did during the rollback period but the server is stable as it was at the earlier time and in the original state.
Also wow added microtransactions in 2010 and they definitely had rollbacks after they added the microtransaction because it happened to my character once in Mist of Pandaria.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 4 weeks ago:
I don’t expect a game server would be prepared to handle out of the box
Which is why I was wondering why they don’t use a system like that. WoW was having rollbacks in 2006 so not to have them in another game developed 2 decades later? That seems idiotic to me.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 4 weeks ago:
as those who had spent the fraudulent funds could be liable for a ban
Yeah, I’m sure that’ll endear the playerbase to you guys.
Why wouldn’t you be using a type of system with rollbacks? WoW used to have rollbacks (return the server state to an earlier state) for when shit went absolutely insane. They didn’t happen often but it was a lot better than having a few people’s ill gotten gains ruining the economy.
- Comment on Dying Light 4 weeks ago:
I’ve beaten the game. There are new weapons (i think you get 6 main weapons and 5 ghost weapons) and a wolf companion but it’s pretty much the same. I really liked this one and the original. The story is weaker in Yotei but i enjoy the combat enough that it doesn’t bother me much.

policing how people use words to uphold some „purity“ of language
Pretty much every language besides english has an institute dedicated to doing that exact thing. In spanish it’s the Royal Spanish Academy (La Real Academia Española).

In the 2020s, books were written entirely with computer based writing tools.
It’s called vim.
