It’s always funny rewatching iron man 2 or home alone and being like “oh look, goebbels and hitler!”

In terms of materials, plastic food packaging maybe?

Factorio, you literally colonize alien species and pollute their worlds because you feel like it.

I feel like this analysis is serious enough to warrant a bigger response, but as I am short on time I will just say that sometimes I simply don’t have much to add and would rather mostly observe.

I suppose it depends on if you count colonization as immigration, but the cutoff there gets murky anyways.

I was giving your boss the benefit of the doubt for the first statement-- you could call the different time controls “kinds of chess”. No idea what would possess someone to say that second one though.

Welcome :)

What about that guy who posts a game screenshot every day

Honestly? Not much.

It’s been 37 mins and it’s only like 8am

Account metadata. I should be able to keep my contact info, personal data, friend list(s), notification settings, etc. on a server (personal or trusted) and use that account on different websites. There’s no reason for these sites to all keep a separate incompatible record of these things!

I’ve heard building codes can be just as bad, some places the law just says to follow a book and you have to pay some company like $300 to get the book and license things

It’s pretty funny that Sciencephile the AI can be recommended as a good non-AI source of info now that more capable AI is real and not just scifi.

I’m very skeptical of those food science papers that claim eg. coffee causes longer life expectancy, they don’t usually hold up

Tea has fun flavors too. I’m a favor of the fruit/spice ones like apple cinnamon or orange spice.

I would consider myself substance free, although I do drink caffeinated soda and once or twice a year maybe a coffee or alcohol. I like to freak people out by doing that it’s funny

I also often find that in terms of the wider philosophy of a piece of media and the people creating it, the media I enjoy tends to have a driving philosophy that resonates with me as good or at least acceptable, and the people making it likely share that philosophy. Even things you wouldn’t expect to be have this property, do; you can often tell if the vibe of an author is off by the things they say or the way they say it, and imo authors who are bad people tend to make bad art, or at least art that I dislike, because my concept of what’s enjoyable and what’s moral both ultimately come from the same worldview.

Yes. I don’t often buy media so I haven’t yet tested if I would give them money, but I hope I wouldn’t.

Everything runs on us-east-1 lol
