  • What's weird is that I work at a used book store and we are busier than we've ever been in our fifty years of operation. From my perspective, print media is a very hot commodity... so long as the selection is carefully curated and the prices are carefully tuned to respond to the market on a day-to-day basis. If retail sellers can't manage that, maybe they need to look at their own business practices and figure out what they're doing wrong.

  • And "Jamake Highwater" got exposed like ten years before they hired him to consult for Voyager! What the actual fuck?!

  • I love the infinity d4

  • It rains so much in Vancouver that it convinces people that there is no god.

  • Boom! Big bada boom!

  • Not for nothing, but couldn't this be used to have AI play a game for 80,000 simulated hours and flag all the bugs? Human playtesters are important and have value, but no human should have to do the work of criss-crossing an enormous game map thousands of times just to see if the character model gets stuck on a random vertex sticking out somewhere, and yet it seems to be a distressingly common occurrence in more than a few games I've played.

  • Doesn't want a breeze to come along and make him look like

  • That's certainly one of the points that I needed to learn about. There are certainly genetic diseases like congenital heart defects or hemophilia. But then there are genetic differences that might seem maladaptive under certain given circumstances, but wouldn't be any issue at all or might even confer advantages under different societal contexts. And then there are the straightforward differences that eugenics-obsessed regimes like to define as undesirable, like having the wrong hair, eye, or skin color, and then use that as an excuse to persecute whomever they want to. The whole thing is irreparably fucked.

  • We have to go to Hammerbarn.

  • What if we took an A-frame... and made it even harder to insulate?

  • When I was a freshman in college I thought "Surely nobody would want to inherit genetic diseases, and why wouldn't we want to to try and make people just naturally live longer, healthier lives?" but then I did even the tiniest bit of research on how eugenics actually worked and I completely abandoned that line of thinking.

  • I like to see what's going on in the handheld emulator world!

  • I'd like to run a poll of as many Americans as could be managed, and ask them if we should maintain diplomatic relations with... and then list a series of real and fictional nations. I suspect we'd get something like 25 to 30% who think we should cut off diplomatic ties with Narnia, Wakanda, and Oz.

  • It's all just us, in here, together.

  • As much as I liked the "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did" scene from the Obi-Wan show, it really makes Obi-Wan look like a proper fuckup for fully acknowledging that Anakin is dead and Vader is all that remains, and that Vader is an unrepentant murderous asshole who serves the Emperor, and still refusing to kill him and instead walking away.

    Like, once on Mustaphar I can kind of get; it's a highly emotional moment and all, and for all you know Anakin is going to roast to death in a couple of minutes anyway. But letting Vader live twice?! That's just bad future-planning, man.

  • Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.

  • I was telling a customer that he had to wear a mask to enter my place of business during COVID masking mandates, and he got furious and called me a "white privilege redneck libtard" and I'm just astonished at that particular combination of words to angrily shout.
