All I can think of is reminders to fill the pellet bin. On balance I don’t think that’s worth it

The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.
It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.
Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly giving around in a ship.
Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.
Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.

I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone.
This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.

No because statistically most of those roles will be played by Gary Oldman.

Drinking anti freeze to resist being sprayed with liquid nitrogen is peak too.
Also I knew I could never be an actor when I tried to do the line “you gotta leave. Now.” in the same intonation as Chris Lloyd but couldn’t.

Suburban commando starring early 90s Hulk Hogan, best enjoyed on the original VHS .

It’s not like it’s banned across Canada. They will still be available elsewhere on the island even.
This is just as dumb as local city and state gun laws in the US. Gun nuts point at them and point out how they don’t work. Like no shit they don’t work when you can just drive for 20 mins and get one.

- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 4 months ago:
I’m guessing the cheaper ones don’t have sine-wave inverters (they use a dressed up square wave which can be produced by purely digital electronics) so quality of the output waveform is bad. The power supply of the laptop (or PC) ends up having to work harder to cut out the extraneous bits of the waveform (that is it’s job) but all that extra crap is just turned into heat. Laptop PSUs are small , so have less heat dissipation and likely aren’t built for this.
If it’s a sine-wave inverters and the generator is working properly then idk why it would matter.

Cool sentiment, but they all vote every time and we don’t so it doesn’t matter. Or you can become a 2nd amendment person.

To some extent, political parties are naturally occuring . The group dynamics of a legislative body will naturally result in groups forming around specific issues and even philosophies. But there is definitely a strong argument to be made that we’ve made them far too official, and far too entrenched.

Cool, but half the country supports this shit. And no, people who don’t vote don’t matter.
- Comment on Bernie Sanders : I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday. Here are my thoughts. [7:00] 5 months ago:
America collectively doesn’t deserve Bernie as president. People go on about how the DNC shafted him in 2016 but honestly, I don’t think it would matter. I don’t think he could win. The same country that elected a wretched sack of shit like Trump (twice) could never elect Bernie. Not to mention that if he got the nomination, the forces that would align against him (every single rich person and all of corporate America, and 95 percent of the media) would ensure that he wouldn’t win.

- Comment on 小红书 5 months ago:
Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.
If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.
