There are real reasons these ideas exist, but barely anyone who gets involved with them approaches it with any skepticism at all, or even the understanding that you've actually got to dig and learn if you want to understand why the practices developed, and how they actually work.

'member the ad where some Hollywood critters pretended to be resistance fighters in some post-apocalyptic world, begging people to care about climate change sending more money to China?

Some of the smartest and most successful people in our society thought it would be brilliant to get the entire next generation hooked on addictive digital drugs.

This isn't even hyperbole, as I'm actually personally familiar with the fact that they literally framed it that way in board rooms.

Assuming "indefinitely" is short hand for cancelled.

Well I'll be damned, they actually found a way to avoid the same mistakes Concord made.

Drama aside, I'm very glad to hear that he is choosing to take care of his personal health. I think that a lot of things can be improved if more people make that decision for themselves.

It's also very good to hear that he's passing things on to someone else he believes can do things correctly, rather than just selling out. It's always possible that it's all just spin, or he's simply wrong about the guy he thinks can take over, but I'll be interested to see where the site goes in the future.

It is interesting to stop and consider, however, that creators are now having to compete with the best of everything ever made, as we can still buy and play most good games which have ever been released.

Yes, Concord would still have flopped spectacularly, but it's just an interesting thing to consider regarding the changing face of competition as the world adjusts to the Internet.

Personally I find it entirely in character for the zodiac killer to enjoy it when Isreal murders people

There seems to have been a concerted effort recently to turn these boards anti-conservative. Seen a few posts like this with absurd leaps in logic and tumber-tier writing.

There's some sticky business with the Magna Carta that's come up.

Essentially, it's been argued that the power of the king was important because it kept society focused on a human perspective, rather than what we have now where overly complicated systems are making guiding decisions with no apparent coherent form.

This is a potential major problem moving forward.

It's kind of always been a problem.

Spends literally two decades trying to force men out of everything.

Where are all the men?

Where's my tiny violin?

Before you do that, can we talk about how basically every women I've been with was abused by someone in their lives? The whole gender pay gap and related bullshit is, well, bullshit, but it's probably psychologically difficult for young girls to come to terms with the fact that some of the men they trust just want to use their body for pleasure.

Frankly I think Lex is the perfect foil for Superman. Even with ultimate power, still Superman is actually a member of society, which Lex can take advantage of to confound him. It shows that physical strength isn't everything that matters, and underhanded individuals can and will find many sneaky ways to exploit a situation.

The lib coalition doesn't exist.

It's always been a fiction painted by creative reporting.

Did you make that bargain with the United States people, as represented by the lawfully acting government? Or did you make that bargain with a network of ideologically driven saboteurs, seeking to undermine the United States?

I miss the good 'ol days, when pretending you were a lesbian trapped in a man's body was a joke, not something people actually aspired to be.

This fantasy of controlling how people use the things they buy for themselves needs to end. It's an absurdist excuse used to justify all sorts of horrific rights violations, all in pursuit of such trifles as money.

[AI] has nfi what its doing

This is really the perfect case study for how difficult it is to reach normies. Literally everyone has been telling people that AI doesn't think anything since the very first day it became available. There are no popular theories about AI actually thinking. And STILL there are plenty of people who attempt to interact with it as though it thinks.
