history has shown that with communism it’s generally sooner
I do wonder though, have there been -any- actual communist societies that were communist from the start and not communist in name only (e.g., Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.)? I would almost say that none (or at least none I recall) survive the transference between the prior society and communism before they become corrupted by power seeking individuals/groups. 🤔
Yea, like alot of the concepts and mythos of hell and its inhabitants come from secondary works; i.e., almost all of it is made up. That said, you could probably get more "accurate" descriptions from ancient Sumarian, Mesopotamian, and Zorastrian texts from which the Abrahamic religions derive. Such as the other gods and creatures that exist within the mythos that are rarely mentioned by Christianity.
Noah Caldwell-Gervais - Long form (multi-hour) video essays on video games. Usually based on a series like Fallout, Gears of War, or Dark Souls. It is engrossing.
Forgotten Weapons - Ever wanted to learn about all the weird and interesting firearms people have devised over the years? This is the channel for you. This guy just loves going over not only how they work internally, what makes some of these devices interesting and how they came to be and why they failed (or succeeded).
Coding Secrets - Ever wanted to learn how game developers made certain games "back in the day" and accomplished some amazing tricks for their time?

Thinking and Tinkering is a great one. Older engineer making all sorts of devices and contraptions just because and he wants to see if he can make them better (and sometimes he does)
I still don't understand why I cannot connect any of my Bluetooth headphones to -any- of the consoles. Connecting to my TV induces latency, so it turns off game mode, but not if I connect directly to the gaming device (ala steam deck). It's not like its a standards, driver, or perf issue, as steam deck supports it, and it's essentially a very user friendly Arch Linux box. Something as important as audio being this far behind on the two major competitors is mind boggling, especially when one of them ALSO produces decent audio hardware and created one of the two main Bluetooth audio standards 😅
sigh emacs-er here, yes you can do anything you want in emacs, but the defaults can be confusing for newbies and CUA CUI users (vscode, jetbrains, etc). That said, like vim users, I feel handicapped when using something like vscode. Once you move towards vim or better yet meow/kakoune editing modes, you will never want to use anything else, because everything else is soooo slow when navigating, inspecting, and editing code/text. With tree-sitter and lsp support now built-in, there really isn't anything vscode offers over emacs anymore 😅
yes, but they are not allowed to perform any statescraft, that is explicitly the job of the executive (i.e., state department). McCarthy could, and should be impeached for overstepping his authority, as he does not represent the nation, but it wont happen.
I dunno. I think it is people don't want to think about their code and what they are asking the computer to -actually- do. I've had to fix more issues due to incorrect assumptions that were allowed / looked OK in JS that would have been easily seen and/or prevented in TS (or any strong static typing system). Yes, TS may be annoying, but there are -reasons- it is. If you're asking it to do something that is innately dumb, TS makes it -HARD- to do it, so you manage a large majority of the potential use-cases that you may not know you're asking the runtime to manage/assume for you.
