I love that they cannot even put "f****t" or something, apparently "faggot" is to offensive to even allude to. I'm just guessing too, I guess it could have been "homo," but I'm betting the man used the better word for nude perverts cycling through town.
Tears of the Kingdom was an incredible first player experience for me; we will see how Starfield pans out; single player JRPGs are thriving as never before; fun indie single player games are abundant.
I've been playing games since my parents bought us a Nintendo in 1990, and I'm not sure it has ever been much better. There is so much coming out it is impossible to filter through, but in that jumble, if you mostly ignore what is marketed to the 12 year old boys and the 20 year old women, there is lots of quality.
Yup, never heard accusations against Roger Federer because he simply stayed with the same woman. He got lucky in that his career took a few years to catapult from good to best of his generation, and thus found a good wife before he was super rich and famous.
Still, guys like Ronaldo never would have been content with someone like Federer's wife because in her prime she wasn't even an 8 on the looks scale. Still, any wise man would take a 6 who loves him, isn't a gold digger, and is happy to stay home and raise his kids, over the risk of most of the smoke shows.
I had a job with a work truck, but we leased the work truck from some small outside company or something, so for all repairs I had to call their HR and she would deal with it. Every oil change the jiffy lube guy would get her to buy new wiper blades; I was driving 50,000 miles a year on that truck.
Wasn't my money, and I guess it wasn't hers either, but it cracked me up that he got her on it every time.
It's a waste of time arguing morality with people who don’t claim there is absolute moral truth. I never engage directly in those conversations, I always steer it towards getting them to acknowledge absolute moral truth, if not then I'll tell them it is a waste of time to discuss moral issues if they believe morality is relative.
I saw the start of someone playing the FF16 demo the other day, a streamer who probably has a fairly leftist viewership, and when it started and had "story focused" and "action focused" chat was flooded with calling story mode "journalist mode." Warmed my heart to know that the mainstream view is that gaming journalists are trash at even easy games.
Someone leaked Spez's internal memo saying that it would blow over like every other time, just wait a day or two, so a lot of mods responded with indefinitely having the subs set to private.
This is the first I've heard of this story of reddit forcing subs open, but that is the story as I've pieced it together from the outside.
That equation is a theory, a theory that sounds reasonable, but again one that doesn't have any real data for the most important parameter: emergence of life. It is all nearly random guesswork dressed in a lab coat. Abiogenesis experiments are a pipedream, amino acids are not life.
Life was either supernaturally started, in which case it could be actual 0% (or not), or there isn't a supernatural God or gods kickstarting the process of life, which means there is some chance of life naturally emerging from an explosion. However, even then odds are simply unknown; it could be the relatively great odds of 1/1000000, or it could be something insurmountably low like 1/10^100, making our very existence itself a miracle.
The scale of the universe shows how paltry the sample size is, not how inevitable life is. I'm not saying there certainly isn't some alien life form out there, just that it is beyond the scope of what can be known, even out of the scope of a ballpark guess.
We have a sample size of one, statistics tell us nothing. How many solar systems and galaxies is meaningless information if we don't have any way to know what the odds are that life is created, the odds that order rose from disorder.
There is no science that has ever shown what the odds are a primordial soup turns non-life into life; perhaps the odds are 0%. It might be like looking for Spiderman in real life: we know there are people bit by spiders every day, but that doesn't mean that one of the people who get bit will get superpowers, because the odds are zero.
The Romans had a past time of watching people get tortured. We are halfway there, many people love watching fictional people get tortured, so it's not too far of a stretch to get them to do that to those they dislike in real life.
If the mods were smart, they would know that they have the power, not Reddit, if they held the line. Reddit absolutely can not afford to add a bunch of mods to payroll, nor will they easily find enough people to volunteer their time to fill that many empty mod positions.
