Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

The world isn't always zero sum. The most important thing produced in the past 50 years is made out of sand. Before the application of skill and knowledge it was just worthless sand. Afterwards it becomes important, valuable, and sought after. In many cases that just application of skill and knowledge takes something that was not a resource previously and turns it into a resource. In this way, the resources in the world increase despite living on the same marble we lived on yesterday.

Of course there is good and evil, and just and unjust. You can create something worthwhile through self control and grit and skill and knowledge or you can extract from other people's works without adding much at all. It's true that at this moment in time the latter is disproportionately winning the game. Historically it doesn't last forever, and it's likely we're seeing a turning point.

Sorta reminds me of the milkman from psychonaughts

I've got mxroute hosting mail on my domain for me. I haven't seen any issues, but I don't send a lot of email.

wtf my hearing is so good now!

A false awoo. @Awoo @Awoo

Frames Uber alles!!!

The prayer room isnt for females only, it identifies as female. Which only raises more questions I admit....

When the ghosts take over your kids school and are able to mandate fear time

tbf, that's not really new.

Daggerfall was released in the 90s, and without a bunch of patches it was completely broken (rather than being mostly broken as it was once you applied all the patches), and I recall SiN when it first came out, before it was patched there were some serious problems that made the game basically unplayable.

LMFAO

This prime minister is obviously transphobic, he's homophobic, he's misogynistic, he's racist, he's sexist, he's an American, he's a Russian, he's a bot...

England is just the first.

Probably won't be the worst in the end.

Like winning in the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Sort of a yogi berra industry these days. "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"

My GOG collection of games from 25 years ago is as big as my steam collection of new games.

I know that Manitoba and Quebec are both basically entirely hydroelectric, and the resulting electrical power is some of the least expensive in the world. You can heat your home with electricity in Manitoba or Quebec and it isn't a big deal, you can't do the same in Ontario which is mostly nuclear.

It's a bit of a paradox, that just because something is logical doesn't mean it's true, and just because something is illogical doesn't mean that it's untrue.

For things which can be objectively known, the real world is the ultimate arbiter of Truth. Often, the real world can even surprise subject matter experts, because you never know what can be going on.

In 419 scams, the writing is intentionally poor so that people who are smart enough to see through the scam don't bother replying.

What's her excuse?

This makes Fergie sound like a good woman.

Your birthday is over 4 days long?!

I'm Jelly!

Industrial scale anything has its costs and risks.

I always come back to hydroelectric in this regard. We have dams that have existed since the beginning of industrialized electricity, we have used water wheels for millennia. It's a known, proven answer.

Those dams have provided virtually unlimited energy compared to the upfront energy costs, and they produce more than enough energy to recreate themselves.

But it isn't pretty, and it's entirely too practical. It's effective and boring. It doesn't let you rewrite society from the ground up. So they hate it.
