  Nah, there’s a light at the end if that “cave”, but not the real one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having played a lot of raft with my kids, I can say I never would have thought of it for this. But looking back, yeah, there is a good deal of world building going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it changes the meaning of “day”. In some contexts, day is the daylight hours… but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.

  But the real answer. Someone just didn’t like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.

  You started out decent, then went off the deepend. You are connecting plants to refined sugars in the end. An apple (from a plant) has no refined sugar. No plants do. And the milk thing sounds like a conspiracy theory. They ban raw milk because if it isn’t handled correctly, it can make you sick. While this is a bit of an over reach, in most places it started long before thier was an industry to protect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish their were, but I’m not so sure. They started arresting people who simply wrote articles they didn’t like. They have declared an organization that doesn’t actually exist terrorists. So now all the have to do is is say, you’re antifa and you are under arrest. Any peacful solution will just result in the people involved getting arrested. Or at some point they will just declare a peaceful protest a terrorist attack because one person threw a rock that they thought was a gernade… and they then just open fire. They are clamping down on the media so that only thier voice is heard. And they are meddling with elections so they can’t lose. But here is a simpler answer. If thier were peaceful ways, then the people of more countries would have used those in thier countries. But if you look, the vast majority are under the control of corrupt governments. The US is the result of a violent revolution. It just didn’t last. Corrupt rule is the steady state that all large organizations trend toward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see that as a good thing. It’s like a check against uncontrolled spread. They would lose in natural competition. But a lawn of today already would. Yet the deeper roots would be good for the soil, flood control, drought management. Probably just not enough profit in the idea though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the point I was replying to was basically referring to unintended runaway modifications that could be disastrous like horror movie level. Chickens that can’t walk is not runaway because… well they can’t run, lol, so they also can’t breed. If humans died tomorrow, thoses chickens wouldn’t be far off.
  That said, I support lab grown meat research. So we can stop with the chickens that can’t walk. But that won’t save the dogs that can barely breath due to selective breeding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is really interesting stuff. But it doesn’t explain why the roots can’t be bigger. You can take a small power source and charge a big battery or a small battery. It just takes longer for the big battery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet, not disastrous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats a great talking point, but it is BS. Humans have been genetically modifying organsims through selective breeding for millenia. Any animal or plant you eat is nothing like it natural origin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That, and I can’t help that my brain is wired to enjoy looking at a well kept lawn. It just is. Though I also like forest. Wish I could have both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But why? Roots act as energy storage, so once full, grow more. Not full stop. That should lead to pretty decent roots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, this doesn’t fit. You are saying the roots store energy in case the foliage is lost, then saying the roots can’t exist without the foliage. Which is it? I get that they are energy storage. So the foliage in all plants must generate an excess of energy to fill the storage. That should mean that once the storage is full, extra energy can be spent to extend the roots, then fill with energy, rinse repeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it someone hasn’t modified the dna of grass to give us one that has both deep roots and works like lawn grass on top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In this case though he said he was in a union. So committing to something sets precedent that can be used against the union. If there was no union involved, then I agree with you. I just suck at lieing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dictators care about how they are perceived because they used skills in manipulating how they are perceived to get into the position they are in. Making it a self selecting group. But when you change “how” they get there to simply be that they were given superpowers at birth, you remove the self selection. So now it is just a random sampling of the population, which in my opinion skews toward not caring as much about how they are percieved if they don’t need to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are certainly people who do. But I think they are the minority. They do sort of bunch up though. So if you are one, you probably don’t realize you are the minority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is too much of a commitment. Should end with I’ll consider that, or I’ll look into that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, cause pharmaceutical company would produce a drug that you take for a short time and never need again. Not enough profit. And they would have no actual control over the superheros. In the boys, all of the sups seemed to care what the public thought of them so much, they would do what the corp wanted. In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did. And they would just kill whoever they wanted, and threaten to kill others to get what they wanted. Kinda like the oligarchy we have today, but with far less constraint, and no need to even try to hide things like being pedos and racists and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only workers are expected to be happy with good enough. The elite will never say the balance of thier bank account is good enough. And thus companies always need to grow bigger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You are right I did say easy. In my head I meant that valve pay for it and such, not that it was technically easy. But what I typed didn’t line up.

  And as far as sandboxing, I wasn’t really thinking vm sandboxing, I was thinking they could litterally take a whole pc, run the game and see what it does. I assume they could probably do that in a less labor intensive way like run it in the cloud and watch for the process to try to detect that as well. All in all I was thinking more testing env, and not end user changes. Cause yeah, end user support for isolating processes should be on the OS.

  But in general, they should do a better job vetting publishers and ensuring those publishers can be held accountable. That is hard to do without blocking out the smaller publishers, but I have faith that if they put a few minds to it, they could figure it out. Probably could contract out the planning part to some experts so they wouldn’t have to perm hire a lot. Might even be able to contract out the vetting so they could pass the liability on.

  A crazy thought just hit me. Something like fdic insurance. Won’t happen with this admin in the US, but if the gov setup the vetting guidelines, they could insure the vetters for damages if they followed the guidelines. That would spur vetters into existence that valve and others could then contract. Pipe dream I am sure.

  I didn’t say it was easy. The fact is, valve could do it. It is just somewhat expensive. Make a law that game distributors are liable for losses if they distribute malware and you would see how well they could do it.

  Clearly it passed thier test. But it was not undetectable.

  I am decently versed in the game of cat and mouse. The fact is, valve could do it. It is just somewhat expensive. Make a law that game distributors are liable for losses if they distribute malware and you would see how well they could do it.

  Steam could easily gave automation the installs and runs games in a sandbox. Then watches what they do. The things it needed to do to steal the crypto should be vastly different than what a game should be allowed to do.

  Now I am curious, how big is a uterus? Bigger than the average penis? And if we are considering it’s size with a baby in it… no contest.
