Haiti had the nerve to actually fight back against their slavers and win their independence. Well you see all the slavers that controlled trade couldn't have those ideas catching on, so they blocked out and isolated Haiti from many trade deals. Haiti got fucked with paying France all the money France lost from the rebellion.

The 1791–1804 Haitian Revolution made Haiti the first sovereign state in the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, the first country in the Americas to officially abolish slavery, and the only country in history established by a slave revolt.

I have the same rules for my cats. Then I see little paw prints on my stovetop in the morning.

Yeah I thought I was average height too. I mean statistically we are, but I was told I was short "because the other guys I know are taller."

Perception is reality.

There was some guy that got to interview a bunch of billionaires for some reason and their views on an apocalypse situation are eye opening.

making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.

I, also, heard of no shave November for people wanting to grow beards or moustaches.

Should have worn the brown pants.

They might want the resources of earth.

There is also a chance they might want to hunt and/or rape us for the fun of it.

Andrea the Giant sounds like a win to me.

Thanks for posting this. I not really a flower guy. I mean they are nice and all, but this one makes me feel something. The colors are great too. I never saw something like that before.

Mine sometimes blocks me from coming to bed until I give her pre-bed cuddles. I gotta pay that cuddle tax before I get to bed for bedtime cuddles. She's got me hooked.

Mine mews more and headbutts me. She is super vocal though.

That's a good point about it emerging from certain properties and not just and idea of more complexity. I forgot where I first heard about the complexity being tied to consciousness, but it could be a simple property that we are overlooking. It might be a simple process that we are just not aware of. I do agree there is a sweet spot where a lot of these interactions could happen, but if it's too hot or too cold then nothing.

Maybe our consciousness wasn't actually "supposed to" happen. We might just be an accidental by-product of what the universe is actually working towards.

Yes. Malcolm's revenge or something like that. That's more click action like qfg3+ vs typing out everything like qfg1&2. It's easy to get lost without a guide in the earlier games.

I am, also, an elder millennial and confused. Maybe it's just some form of problem solving/way to sort your thoughts or options?

I loved that Quest for Glory soundtrack.

Is Kyrandia the one where you play a jester in the 3rd game? I remember liking that one a lot.

Is that what happened? I knew there was some court copyright thing about the song that changed around then. I had no idea it was just someone claiming they owned it and got called out. 😂

Some restaurants started singing the normal Happy Birthday song and I kinda miss those corny restaurant ones.

If it's emergent, it seems less presumptuous to assume that the most complex interconnected system of all, the universe itself, wouldn't develop consciousness.

I was, no shit, just thinking about this on my break about an hour ago. God or whatever you wanna call them. If there was a way to develop more consciousness by adding more information to the universe. If consciousness emerges to solve complex problems then maybe if we populate/terraform planets then we will have a deeper understanding.

The US doesn't care about their labor force.
