I'm sold

I've never played this game. Is this stuff you're describing coming from mods or the original game??

I taste cocaine when I read that

An apology, if sincere, is not dependent on the reaction of others

edit: at the same time, in the spirit of promoting a healthy behavior, others here, including me, could have phrased our content in more charitable ways. This commenter does have a point; but tweaking it might have changed the tone in a positive way, for example. Maybe this is a big deal for you to post! Why not receive it in a way that will encourage more of a desirable quality? Afa where to post this, an edit to your original post would seem like a more appropriate place. That's where the conversation and "error" occurred.

In the sense that they make up the vast majority of what is disseminated in our primary digital social spaces, are often pandering to a small set of intellectual properties that people use to define themselves, and end up shaping the way we then respond to the world around us in derivative, abbreviated ways that doesn't foster deep interaction? Kinda, yeah. It gets repetitive.

Blocking certain users and magazines helps. Unfortunately, and moreso in the fediverse, it doesn't unearth much else, tbh. It's just what we be doing in this era. I think there are a lot of societal factors influencing that.

At the same time, the right meme still gives me that dopamine hit. Big fan of greentexts, for example. So I don't dislike memes, per se. Just the glut of them.

I'm not surprised to hear that the protests are being mischaracterized; every countering message helps. Glad this person spoke up

When we really consider who our worst enemies actually the question becomes simpler. Mitch McConnell is the first example that came to mind for me.

I'm partial to the notion of memetic evolution, which is to say that humans have a concurrent driver of behavior besides our genes. Less so than capability or willingness, I tend to believe that some of the memes driving us are too successful, if that makes sense. They perfectly capitalize on the foibles of the human organism and I just don't believe we're able to surmount that. The only likely way out is running through the painful cycle described in another comment here. We need to suffer sufficiently to initiate a change in the ideas by which we operate

Gotta agree. A good discussion will pull me in more than lots of posts

It's an interesting, useful analogy. My concern is that, like with nature, many fear the wild. The moment a rewilding of the internet might lead to a negative event, people would run and beg for the reinstament of walled gardens

Fallen was the one I was going to add. Glad to see it here!

Good to know, re: comic books

How do you like it for note taking? Does it convert handwriting to type? That is one of my dream features that I've yet to hear has become robust

I'm trusting y'all to let me know if it's worth it

Thanks! I don't currently have a Surface. But this is opening up an interesting alternative to getting another iPad once my current one dies

Exactly. The airlines created this situation when they began charging for check-in bags

Nice, thank you!

Bummer. This seemed like a good solution

That would be a sweet replacement for an iPad. Is there a distro that gives a more tablet experience?

This is pretty cool. Rather comforting for the existential dread
