Not that I’m aware. Probably Baader-Meinhof.

To wit, coincidences are more noticeable than non-coincidences, and once you’ve noticed one it’ll be much easier to notice others you might have missed.

I myself once spent about a week seeing Curta hand-held mechanical calculators everywhere. Books, magazines, blog posts, youtube… I wasn’t complaining, of course, the Curta is an amazing piece of engineering, but still, it was a bit weird.

That I really want? Replicators. Man think about a life not having to cook or clean dishes.

Drug addicted, Mafia made, trash fed makers from Transmetropolitan, specifically.

The set of all integers is not larger than the set of all odd integers.

The set of all real numbers, on the other hand, is.

Seems like a reasonable demand.

Majestic.

(Though probably not as much if you could smell it.)

Don’t the Asari just seem to look like whoever’s looking at them’s wet dream, due to psychic shenanigans…?

Top left one is just stretching. I’ve seen cats look exactly like that when stretching, same face and all, no stylisation required, other than what’s already naturally built-in due to them being cats.

Top right one is somewhat stylised, but mostly is just high on catnip.

The other two… yeah, those ain’t very good.

Seriously, I’m sure we could find some shark with a faster terminal speed if dropped from high enough…

And then, we could start selling meat of the “problem animals” that we have way too many of

For a moment there I was thinking you were about to advocate for cannibalism… (sadly, prions are terrifying.)

They’ve been sinking boats off the Iberian coast (possibly for fun, possibly for vengeance) for a few years now, so at least some seem to be trying…

Sounds more like an enlightened centrist to me, but same difference really.

If a maniac wanted to shoot someone ten times, and the victim wated not to be shot, the enlightened centrist would smugly proclaim that the maniac shooting the victim five times would be a just middle ground that’d be fair to both parties, and that the victim would be unreasonable, intolerant, and antidemocratic for not agreeing to it.

Same result, orders of magnitude more hypocrisy and idiocy, and of course you can’t criticise them, since by enabling the maniacs they’re just debating and trying to find a compromise, and disagreeing with them is being hostile and going against the very principles of democracy itself.

Malignant asshats, the whole lot of them, wouldn’t recognize the paradox of tolerance if you violently hit them in the head with it.

Good, ban boomers too, then.

I’m not sure Townscaper can be called a game either, but it certainly is an excellent relaxing and enjoyable way to waste one’s time.

That’s monstrous. When I send a PDF I don’t want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I’d use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.

The question is how long that mindset will survive once Gaben leaves. Or dies.

We need to upload him into a GabenOS of sorts. To preserve the Valve mindset, and also for science.

Some neurotoxin and mass murder would be a small price to pay.

It’s the same engine Morrowind was on.

Yeah, but British is a thing, and everyone knows about it (the British made damn well sure, back when they were the main global bully)… American, on the other hand, doesn’t work, because it refers to the whole damn continent, not just the USA… so if we want to refer to the citizens of the US Yankee / Yank is about the only option we have; not the best, maybe, but probably the least worst.

Horoscopes. Fortune cookies. Political speeches.
