By that same logic, the Italians have a right to the entire middle east because the Roman Empire engulfed it. Then the Ottoman's came and took it from them, so hey...I guess Turkey has a right to the entire middle east as well now.
Fuck Zionism.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
This quote from LBJ centres me. Its been the conservative tactic for literally decades, from African Americans, to lgbtq+, to immigrants; it's always been the same grift:
Its honestly astonishing how blatant it really is.
Science is never "sure". And I'm not a quantum physicist. But that's the gist of it, yes. I'm not smart enough to know all the details though.
or the human mind dilates my final moments into an eternity because it cannot comprehend non-existence.
Gawdamm I never thought of that possibility. You've broken my brain sir/ma'am. I'm going to be useless for the rest of the day contemplating this.
Basically it's related to the uncertainty principle; the cat is both alive and dead until you look inside the box.
Let's say i'm about to roll a dice. The result of that dice throw is in a state of superposition until it's thrown. Meaning that until it is thrown, all results exist. And it's only when the dice is thrown and the result is observed that the wave function collapses to a number from 1 thru 6.
From there, there are two camps of scientists:
One camp believes that all other superpositions dissipate once the roll is made. So if you roll a one, then the universes in which you rolled a 2 thru 6 just kind of evaporate, for example.
The Second camp that believes that all superpositions exist, and branch off into 6 different universes (one where each number was rolled) and they all continue unaware of the other universes existence (Multiverse theory)
Don’t you find that just a tiny bit wrong?
Nope.
I save my empathy for people who actually have empathy of their own.
Niether concepts nor humans are monolithic things. It's possible to be conservative in some areas of your life (finance, relationships, etc..) but progressive in others (equal rights, healthcare, etc...)
This notion that all conservatives are hard-C conservatives in every facet of their life, and all progressives are radical leftists in every area of their life, is frankly stupid and a major contributor to the polarization that we see all around us.
The reality is that with the exception (edited for spelling error) of maybe 5% of crazy people on either side (far right or far left) the VAST majority of us are a mixture of conservative and progressive opinions depending on the particular issue we're talking about.
Thinking otherwise is frankly not helpful. But as I said, you're welcome to your opinion.
At this point there is nothing that they could do to make Creation Engine feel "new". I don't understand why they keep beating that dead horse.
A couple of months ago, I had some extra money, so I bought Starfield because I had an itch to go back into my Crimson Fleet character.
The problem was that a couple of weeks before that, I had also purchased a game that I had wanted for years, but could never justify spending the high price of new games on, Red Dead Redemption 2. In comparison, Starfield just felt so....lazy... in ways both big and small, beyond the common issues like repetitive dungeons, barren worlds, loading screens, etc...
The biggest thing I noticed immediately was the effect of bumping into people as you're walking. If you compare a Rockstar Game (Or even an assassin's creed game), where npcs will make a comment, will move out of the way, get upset, etc... Whereas in Bethesda can't be bothered to do anything except slide you to the right when bumping into a character, who doesn't react or flinch in any way.
I started noticing those little things fucking everywhere. And I have to believe that little limitations like that are because it's running on an engine that is older than dirt.
I don't know how he ended up with the Captain Kirk lighting setup. But I'm here for it.
Up here in Canada there used to be a thing called "Progressive Conservatives". Fiscally Conservative, but socially fairly liberal. "We need to keep spending down, etc... but we still need to build hospitals, maintain healthcare, etc..."
The modern hard-C Conservative party drove them out because a hard-right, Alberta asshole with nothing more than a bachelor of Arts, named Preston fucking Manning merged his "reform" party with the Progressive Conservatives and steered them hard into the "let's give all the money to the oil and gas sector and let them trickle it down to the peasants as they see fit."
Ironically, the Progressive Conservatives that didn't like that, basically all went to the Liberals, who shifted a little bit more to the centre as a result.
I'm assuming that other countries must have a similar group of "progressive" conservatives of some ilk. Ones that are educated and intelligent enough to have empathy, but skew conservative fiscally.
This was honestly my biggest fear for a lot of FOSS applications.
Not necessarily in a malicious way (although there's certainly that happening as well). I think there's a lot of users who want to contribute, but don't know how to code, and suddenly think...hey...this is great! I can help out now!
Well meaning slop is still slop.
Still in the early early stages. Can be a little slow going since I'm treating this like a training project to strengthen my Python skills. Typing mechanics are nailed down, basic UI is in place.
Next is to get the functionality working for new-page, save, export, etc... and the correction tape mode.
Enshittification has been around for a very very long time.
