Cat and yea. He sleeps in one corner. And it gets kinda dirty fast from him always sleeping there but I love him and I don’t care.

I just had a visit Friday and they made me sign a form agreeing to it.

I do not like this one bit.

This is new territory. It’s going to take some trial and error to figure it out.

Nothing can be tested and improved upon until it’s rolled out.

Right it’s going to take longer than a few months to enforce properly and undo the damage and protect new generations from its negative effects.

At least it’s a start.

Yeah it made me start completely fresh both times I died. I was like. Okay well fk this.

It was on the switch and the way saves work on it are generally different. It didn’t have a “load a specific save” option.

It just has one save. Automatic.

I’m too dumb to play that game. I tried and kept dying during dialogue.

I didn’t know you could die in a game from saying the wrong thing. But I did multiple times. A few hours in. I was playing on switch and it made me restart from beginning.

So I gave up and just watched a YouTube on the story.

Idk I’ve never played a game like that and I’m not sure how the mechanics work. Obviously too dense to figure it out.

Very cool art style and world building though.

Right!? MRI machines need them way more.

Yeah there would be something like a view finder in the front. Like this.

Would almost look like a little LED screen but it would be a mirror you would be looking at.

That’s true. A very complex solution when a simpler solution exists.

I might still play around with some ideas. Mirrors and prisms can be tricky and sometimes require focusing lenses. That would make the whole thing much more complicated and cost more.

Plus every time the light is reflected, it loses quality and becomes darker. Unless you use high grade front surface mirrors (expensive and more fragile).

I was riding my bike today. I have a little round mirror on my left handlebar that is mostly blocked by my body.

And I thought. What I need is a periscope.

Yeah. A periscope.

I just have to figure out how to design it.

I know how to cut glass and dabbled in kaleidoscope making.

I can also do 3d modeling and 3d printing.

So honest opinions. Do any of you think this could legitimately work ?

It would be like a tube shape running the bar length. With a viewing window that would sit on top. And a capture mirror behind the seat facing backwards.

Might take a while to design this but I think it is possible.

Someone else mentioned Codeberg

I just use my PC through my TV.

Also don’t buy tvs with voice activation.

That means they have mics on 24/7.

Snakes have two penises. Or at least pythons do.

These and the robot dogs should replace rodeos.

Hog tie them ?

Isnt there a black mirror episode with these exact same robot dogs being used to attack people.

Honestly just knock them over with a broom or something.

Sound pollution is a legit thing.

Are you familiar with tolerance of intolerance?

Yeah so basically when you give right wing ideology any foothold, they eventually take over.

Just like with the rest of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

I used to have the mindset that censorship of right ideologies wasn’t really ok because surely people would just see how selfish and cruel they were and not give them any time.

But I sure was wrong about that.

Now I take a stronger stance on the matter. Hate has no place in the world. Tolerating it only allows it to flourish.

Otherwise I don’t think other opinions should be censored. Just those promoting bigotry and hate.

And yes there are objective definitions of that. It’s actually pretty simple.

Do you hate someone for being part of a group or identity, OR because they are a shit person ?

First one is bigotry and hate. Second one is not.

I don’t hate Trump cause he’s a Republican. I hate Trump for all the shit he has done.

That said, Criticizing political groups (their politicians) does not fall into being bigoted because I judge based on actions and their intolerance/hate. Like trying to harm trans people. That’s a no no.

We have to be intolerant of intolerance.

If we aren’t, it just keeps making a comeback. Because scapegoating is an easy play by politicians. Always has been.

I could have swore there were 2 seasons of Periphery .

I must have mixed it up with Pantheon which came out around the same time.

Yeah I should have added that to the list.

Also a classic
