NK must be splashing out on those spensy 256GB phones

Western Libertarianism: 1) Destroy all government 2) Effectively legalise murder 3) Accidentally revert to feudalism 4) Whoops

Eastern Wu wei: 1) Organise self-sustaining governance structure 2) World collapses around you 3) Win?

After watching the Veritasium video - yep. Effectively all water on Earth is poisoned with a variety of man-made bio-accumulating carcinogens, including PFAS. Even freshwater sources thousands of miles from any industry is poisoned. Somewhere between 98 and 100% of all humans alive have a measurably higher cancer risk because of it.

As a bonus, most of this pollution was done long-after DuPont and 3M realised these chemicals were long-lasting, leaching into water supplies, and poisonous at smaller concentrations than they could even measure. But they did make a lot of profit!

I have 100% confidence that people would hire such an act, in droves.

Trust me bro, we just need 5% more GDP in funding, just 5% more, c’mon bro

The company town can’t have more than like 250 residences. How incredibly poorly organised was this that they’re already evicting people for zoning reasons??

Is too painfully accurate

I’m curious about the dissolution of the USSR, and for something so recent, it seems everything I read online or get told about it is very conflicting. I suspect experience and narrative changed drastically from country to country.

Did he take part in the referendum? Did people feel the referendum result effectively ignored (ie did people feel they voted to not dissolve the USSR, then it happened anyway)? What was the general sentiment about the dissolution & Communist party, before, during and after?

Lenin working out how to send his writings 70 years into the past so Marx can study them

For real, I mean this is literal direct acts of harm he’s admitting to. Not to mention giving up any illusion of moral high ground when it comes to (actually real) Russian cyberattacks.

Libs will promote the genocide of all life before they admit maybe their social structure causes unnecessary suffering

The IHRA definition includes comparing ‘contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis’ or claiming that the state of Israel is a racist endeavour. Given Israel is a literal ethnostate engaged in ongoing genocide, this is obviously a wild definition.

It’d be cool if the most referenced organisations didn’t actively conflate being anti-Israeli with the very real problem of antisemitism.

It’s quite insane. A couple years back I bought and played an indie space game that had beautiful graphics, weather effects, 'splosions, space stations, hundreds of star systems etc.

That game’s installed size? 260MB. 186MB on checking.

The full game could fit on a CD-ROM about five times over and it was still many hours of cool gameplay. This massive universe exploration game is smaller than 90% of the 2D procedurally generated games I own.

Looks like they still develop, and still offer demos which I think is awesome. And their game sizes look still super reasonable.

I’m not really sure how you achieve that kind of compression, I assume most textures are hand-written shaders or something rather than 4k .png files.
