On the contrary I feel like there was a purity to AC1. AC2 leaned too hard in the direction of busywork and history tourism, AC1 had an almost meditative focus on the assassinations.

I understand why the second game was more popular and has shaped the (imo poor) direction of the franchise. But the first game has always been my favourite.

You can freely ignore any quantum utility claims until around 2035 in my opinion.

På DR :)

Vi ser Den Danske Kvinde, dansk-islandsk serie med Trine Dyrholm. Den er virkelig god! Og hvert afsnit har endda fede covers af danske og islandske sange.

Trine gør det så godt som ulidelig dansker, og hendes islandske boligforening gør det fantastisk som uduelige islændinge.

Edit: kan findes på DR!

Feels like a deep urge, short circuiting your brain to satisfy it. Like hunger or thirst. The longer I go without sexual attention, the more my brain starts to interpret everything as an opportunity for sex. When I satisfy it, it brings joy and release and calm. It's fun, intimate and satisfy needs for closeness and touch.

It also feels deeply connected to a bunch of psychological stuff like the need for approval, gender affirmation, power dynamics, competitiveness and more.

I guess that's the joke - this is so stupid and obviously won't work, but that perspective is subverted when it turns out to actually work, causing humour.

I quite like it.

While I'm very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

So they can also refuse to treat e.g. republicans and married veterans.

TBF imaginary time is a math trick and not something that actually progresses. It lets us apply results from statistical physics to quantum field theory through a Wick rotation.

I still can't believe The Matrix is from '99. The themes and the effects hold up incredibly well, it feels far more modern.

I think the bluer bird is younger, not knowing that summer ends, and being even more surprised that this involves immense journeys

Does being a Jewish Palestinian somehow make you Israeli? What then if you're a non-Jewish Israeli? 🤔

It's base 20 like in France, plus the quirk that we have an ordinal numeral way of saying half integers, i.e. 1.5 is "half second", 2.5 is "half third", 4.5 is "half fifth". So 92 is said as "two and half fifth times twenty". We've since made the "times twenty" implicit for maximum confusion, so it's just said as "two and half fifths".

Also, the ordinal numeral system for halves is only really used for 1.5 these days, so the numbers don't really make sense to anyone. When speaking to other Scandinavians, we often just say "nine ten two".

Why don't we just change it to the more sensible system then? Because language is stubborn.
