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...

I didn't mind it (but I never played the original much so it isn't like a remake of a game I loved where I immediately turn off the new stuff). The only thing with halo 1 is I found it got repetitive after a while because I they obviously reused a lot of assets.

Any system that solely relies on a computer to not literally explode is poorly designed.

I watched a neat presentation by a nuclear plant operator, and they talked about defense in depth applied to safety. You know no one control system is 100%, so for key safety features you have multiple completely separate systems so if one catastrophically fails the others will step in independently. In this case you'd want something like battery protection circuitry that runs separately from the machines computers.

I'm not sayin nothing, but American would probably taste like wagyu beef imagine the nice marbling!

I played the first three during the pandemic. Played halo 2 with my brother when it was new, but the master chief collection was great.

The question I want Trump or Vance to ask their counterparts is as follows: "You've repeatedly spread the claim, debunked by Snopes, that Donald Trump called neo nazis and white supremacists very fine people. What punishment do you feel you deserve for spreading misinformation and disinformation you certainly knew was false?"

Less and less, I think. At some point it just stops even being fun dunking on it. It's like the first few times you win a basketball game against the kid in a wheelchair it's funny but eventually it's just sad.

"but... But you don't understand! You HAVE to watch it or we'll call you names!"

There's a lot of them, the one thing that I will say is he can really see the strings.

Dat clussy

I've been calling China the wests picture of Dorian Gray. We look great whole just moving the Pollution from somewhere we can see to somewhere we can't. Then we can pretend we're so good without actually needing to change anything.

Well that's where it's not just about being a sperm donor, it's about being a family patriarch. Which makes it not just about having the kids but raising the kids, and participating the lives of the grandchildren, and depending on how early you start maybe even participating in the lives of the great-grandchildren.

Even outside the realm of humans, in pre-human primates, the outcomes of a child are improved measurably if the grandparents remain alive after that child reaches adulthood, and again if the parents reach adulthood.

The reality is, everyone in power wants you to feel disempowered. They want you to think that the future is a black pill that only they can protect you from. The same reality is that the ultimate white pill should be that it is indisputable how powerful and important being a parent is, and by being a parent I don't just mean creating your own spawn, but participating in the raising of your children.

It isn't quite about the same thing, but this song is still super relevant.

The other thing I'd be really interested in is there's a lot of people who took the vaccine like 4 years ago because they were forced to, but I'd like to know the difference between the people who just did that and the people who were the true believers who kept on getting boosted. I would imagine that after years and years eventually all that crap will wash out of someone's system.

Frontier: Elite 2

I just posted about that today.

Are we sure Kamala Harris isn't George W. Bush in a mask?

Swing music is something I play to my son a lot. It's upbeat, often has some really good subtleties that current music lacks since it's designed to play on a smartphone speaker, and you can dance to it.

I mean, that's already inevitable. Most women aren't having kids, most men aren't having sex, a lot of people's genetic story ends in a few decades, and their cultural story with it.
