Do you work on the train? No? Then NSFL would be a better tag…just saying.

This should be (and likely is) on c/antiquememesroadshow, I’m pretty sure this meme should be old enough to drink everywhere but the US.

That kinda dodges the conflict by not engaging with ethical concerns at all.
I guess I…kinda lost the plot a bit when I wrote the second part, eh?
There’s ethics…and then there’s what the government in the country a scientist operates in views as “morally and ethically acceptable”.
Stem cell research was banned in most places for a long time. The US is banning CRISPR, if I remember right, the OG Nazis, Soviets and Empire of Japan (and honestly basically everyone else too, just those are the three that were highlighted when I was in school) rubber-stamped and funded research that should warrant execution by vivisection…die by your own methods and all that.You’re right it’s not really a solution. However the realities of modern society means that there’s room within what is morally and ethically acceptable in any country to operate in both a humane and inhumane fashion. And if it doesn’t then money and connections to those in power allow further leeway to be an example of humanity at it’s best…or a monster in a human suit…

Science and Ethics — the age old enmity between “I wanna know” and
“I’m not allowed to find out”“Am I able to find out without doing something monstrously inhumane”FTFY

Honestly? Sounds preferable to being stuck in the universe of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream… I’ll take a challenging power fantasy with some massively overpowered weapons over millennia of endless physical and psychological torture by an insane AI… might just be me though…

Can’t afford what?! Server fees? A close look at the files on the server? To give up on their dreams?

Damn…yeah, I’d heard it had gone down and the owner was unreachable, didn’t know it was still down and they were still MIA. Hopefully they’re ok.

My last cat…loved armpits. Anyone’s armpits. If you were laying down he’d come pretend to cuddle up, then slowly inch his head into your pit over like 5mins. Then after a few seconds of sniffing his ears would go flat back, eyes rolled up, lips peeled back and make this snuffling grunting noise that you’d associate with an old man sniffing a young girl’s panties. He’d start drooling and quivering and his tail would be all over the place…and you just kinda had to let him do his thing for at least a few minutes or he’d try and attack you.
It really made the first time a new partner slept over awkward when they’d wake up in the middle of the night being perved on by a giant grey tabby…

Might I recommend Median XL?
An OG D2 mod, adds a load of content and changes things dramatically, vibrant MP scene, and even after having spent most of a decade playing D2 back in the day it’s changed enough to feel new and shiny again.

I have over 1000 games between steam and gog. I’ve played about ⅔s of them. Average play time is likely 30mins and only because of the dozen or less that I’ve put a few hundred hours into. Take those away and we’re looking at like 10mins each.

No, but since the frame is arm based, a phone with clip on controller bits like the switch that could also play my steam games is absolutely something I would throw money at.

Kernel level anticheat. There’s very effective anticheat that is not kernel level and therefore works fine on Linux.

Sure.
Just pointing out that one word sentences can, and do convey meaning. Often lots of meaning.
I glommed onto that like too, but ignored it and chose not to be a dickhead. Just saying.
