  It also certainly doesn’t help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say “You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets” or “You know, the one that’s basically just Firefly the video game.”

  Where do you think Pratchett got the idea?! They got to him first and paid him off so we’d think it was ridiculous!

  No joke, it wasn’t a flat earth thing, but I had a coworker years ago who was big into conspiracy theories and he claimed that movies like Men in Black were made to make everyone think that kind of thing only happened in fiction so we’d laugh at people who think it’s real.

  When I tried to point out to him that there was no evidence for the things he claimed were real, he said the lack of evidence was proof, because it meant they were hiding the evidence.

  But if the flat earth goes on, what can be assumed to be, infinitely past the ice wall (since no one really gives an answer for what’s past there), think of how big maps would be! They would have to sell giant maps and make a fortune.

  One of those is there to sell more Playstation Plus Premium memberships. The other is there as a cheap way to try and convince a few people to buy a game no one wants.

  I’ll let you decide which is which.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But if it can survive on it’s own, it’s not aborted. Were it legal to remove the fetus at that point, then it’s a delivery. It can survive on it’s own without being attached to the another’s body, so they would deliver it early.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if I finish my coursework over the summer, how is graduation handled?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Judging by the comments here, it seems it may vary between schools. Mine has a system where you “apply” for graduation. They just go over your records to make sure you’ve earned all the correct credits and enough of them. Once they’ve verified it they let you know they have and that you now have the degree. I’d probably check with your advisor if you have one, or if not contact the school and ask if there are any steps you need to take once your required classes have been completed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s one other option:

  They could make games outside newer versions of the same game. Game studios used to (and many still do) make a game, put it out, then get started making a whole different game. Even with the modern ability to update games,

  1. Put game out

  2. Update game to deal with unforeseen bugs found once the masses have access

  3. Maybe put out 1 DLC if you want

  4. Make a new game now. A different game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good news! It is illegal!

  Political campaign-related autodialed or prerecorded voice calls, including autodialed live calls, autodialed texts, and prerecorded voice messages, are prohibited to cell phones, pagers or other mobile devices without the called party’s prior express consent.

  If you think you’ve received a political robocall or text that does not comply with the FCC’s rules, you can file an informal complaint with the FCC at fcc.gov/complaints. If you are receiving texts that you didn’t ask for, report the sender by forwarding the texts to 7726 (or “SPAM”). Campaigns should also honor opt-out requests if you reply “STOP.”

  I file a complaint for single one I get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it’s the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they’ve been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they’ve been pushing? It’s bad and it’s performance is bad, so that can cause issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Edge is built on Chromium for every OS. When they developed it they said they were using Chromium. This is not special for Linux.

  You’re allowed not to pay your taxes to fund socialist programs. There is a consequence of jail, but you have that choice. How is it different?
