  • I was thinking this earlier: can't we just bombard DOGE/executive branch with FOIA requests?

  • It's a dumb reason, but it is a reason

  • Should really check that one out, I've always heard good things

  • Afterlife Pro Tips

  • Yup, we've played every Borderlands game, It Takes Two, Palworld, Rotwood, PlateUp, LEGO Harry Potter, Deep Rock Galactic, Outward, Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Thieves, Baldur's Gate 3, Grounded, Don't Starve Together.... We also play other 'competitive' games co-op against bots, like in Beyond All Reason, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and Predecessor. I could go on but I could list games for a while. Definitely always looking for new ones though.

  • Become famous for producing infinite food, get shot by a religious fanatic whose beliefs don't align with the supernatural talents you possess. That or just a corporate hit by Frito-Lays.

  • I don't know about that. Have you seen David!? He's 20 ft tall and made of pure marble! Just imagine what Goliath looked like!!

  • I mean... we sat through Rock-a-doodle and loved it

  • I mean books 3 (Xenocide) and 4 (Children of the Mind), as well as his The Memory of Earth series.

  • Better than the hyper-mormon ending to Ender's Game~

  • Yeah another contender of 'fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it'. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

  • HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex "real world" and instead established a simpler "fake world" for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments.

    [HyperNormalization] describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation.

  • In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

  • Maybe we don't need to make concessions on behalf of fucking Hitler when we're dealing with the actual return of fascism on a world scale. A real 'read the room' kind of thing.

  • I...
