  • If you currently work for ICE and you haven't quit, you've demonstrated you're okay with going along with illegal and immoral actions. That makes you a bad person.

    There might be an argument to say that not everyone who has ever worked for ICE is a bad person, but that argument holds little water in 2025.

    Due process is required for legal judgements, not moral ones, FYI.

  • I've been enjoying it, although it is still unpolished. I think ultimately whether you like the new direction (changes to the age system/picking new civs mid game) is going to be a matter of personal taste. To me, I now feel like my unique civ bonuses are always relevant, instead of just in whatever specific era. I also find myself more engaged in mid to late game.

    But I've also read a number of comments where people prioritize other aspects of the Civ experience, and those folks do NOT like the changes to game flow. Your mileage may vary.

  • I couldn't take the suspense and I had to look it up.

    Musk also told the crowd that he didn’t like the ideas he was presented with early in the week. “I was a bit worried at the beginning there,” he said, “because frankly nothing was funny.”

    He then went on to reveal his idea of funny, describing one pitch in particular that did not go over well.

    “One of the things that everyone’s been wondering this whole time is: Is Saturday Night Live actually live… or do they have a delay just in case there’s a wardrobe malfunction or something like that?,” Musk said to set up the pitch. “But there’s a way to test this.” (SNL does, in fact, air without a tape delay.)

    In Musk’s vision, he’d tell the audience he was going to put this to the test by taking “his cock out.”

    “So I’m going to reach down into my pants… and then I pull out a baby rooster,” Musk explained. “Like, ‘This is my tiny cock.’”

    Unfortunately, the joke didn’t end there.

    “And then Kate McKinnon walks out,” added Jason Calacanis, co-host of the All-In Podcast, who was also present in the pitch meeting. “And she says, ‘Elon, I expected you would have a bigger cock.’”

    McKinnon, meanwhile, would have been holding a cat.

    “You can see where this is going,” Musk told the crowd

  • The Battle of Chile is a three part documentary about the military coup against Salvador Allende in the 1970s. Patricio Guzman and his associates recognized that crazy things were about to happen and took to the streets to capture as much footage as they could, knowing that a record needed to be kept. One of the cameramen was disappeared, tortured, and presumably killed, while the others smuggled the footage out to Cuba.

    It may feel too prescient for American audiences now. Gods, it was plenty powerful to me as an American watching in 2012. It is well worth your time.

  • I'm kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don't think this is something I've had to consider since primary school.

    I'd probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.

  • My understanding is that the cotton gin led to more slavery as cotton production became more profitable. The machine could process cotton but not pick it, so more hands were needed for field work.

    Wiki:

    The invention of the cotton gin caused massive growth in the production of cotton in the United States, concentrated mostly in the South. Cotton production expanded from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850. As a result, the region became even more dependent on plantations that used black slave labor, with plantation agriculture becoming the largest sector of its economy.[35] While it took a single laborer about ten hours to separate a single pound of fiber from the seeds, a team of two or three slaves using a cotton gin could produce around fifty pounds of cotton in just one day.[36] The number of slaves rose in concert with the increase in cotton production, increasing from around 700,000 in 1790 to around 3.2 million in 1850."
