  • Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP?

  • Maybe too simplistic for what you're looking for, but Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager allows you to do some of it.

    It's based on an older title IIRC, and it's a game more tuned towards education with relatively few graphical elements. You won't be flying missions directly, nor do you have sandbox capabilities, but for mission planning / R and D / mission control, there is some fun to be had.

    I go back to it occasionally.

  • I listened to 170 hours of Joe Rogan’s podcast. Trust me, he hasn’t turned against Trump

  • Yes, and Tucker Carlson. It's kind of a thing.

    The difference is that Beck and Carlson are actually more straightforward with regards to how they lean. Rogan always suggests he's a centrist, sometimes even suggesting he is apolitical, which is patently false.

  • There was one that really stuck with me. This poor homeowner needed a plumber but she had no cash. It was a harrowing story of love and loss, and the climax was stunning.

  • Yes, I agree with that about confused young men. However, at the end of the day, if JRE turns them into toxic men, then they're still just toxic men.

    I would hope that doesn't happen. In general I think we as a society need to be kinder to these confused young men before they take that path. It's a more difficult conversation to have and the solution is not very clear.

    Either way, JRE is dangerous because it offers propagandistic suppositions as answers to people with big questions.

    No one owns corporations. This is a key fact.

    Keep studying. You'll eventually get there.

  • Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned

    Jump

  • I've never understood why this theme became so popular in porn. But also, it's porn. If you're watching it for the plot, you should probably be watching something else.

    But obviously, this is more about banning something than actually an issue with the porn. Oiling up that slippery slope.

  • Because if so, then it seems like even the slightest bit of critical thinking ability would easily steer men clear of it.

    Absolutely correct, in my view. "Fear of judgment and a low sense of self worth" is also spot on.

    Rogan gave national voice to plenty of people who regularly used the term "snowflake" to describe what they saw as weak people who like to complain (I'm speaking from memory here and generalizing; Rogan probably has also used this term himself, but I'm not searching transcripts, so take all this with a grain of salt). By this logic, a "snowflake" is someone who is perceived as weak because they let so much affect them emotionally.

    But these toxic men are "snowflakes" in every sense of the term. They go on Joe Rogan to complain about trans people, or gay rights, or "the war on Christmas", or the perceived persecution of "alpha males", or any number of other issues. Some guests are only famous because they complain about such things.

    So what is the difference between a toxic "alpha male" on Joe Rogan and one of the "snowflakes" they like to complain about? Absolutely nothing, except that the toxic men believe that anger doesn't count as an emotion, so their insecurity allows them to show it regularly.

    (And to be clear, there is nothing wrong with showing emotion or caring deeply about something -- that's not a point I'm trying to make)

  • Meta Ray-Bans send 'sensitive' videos to human data annotators

    Jump

  • These products exist to collect data to train models. Every other function they perform is secondary.

    People are paying hundreds for these, and then they're paying the companies with their data, over and over again. Never before has an industry been able to have such spin on a product.

    It's effectively paying a company for the ability to give them unpaid labor.

  • AI-generated art can't be copyrighted (Supreme Court declines review)

    Jump

  • So is it fair to say (in your view) that the case is more about AI personhood than copyright itself?

    Headline definitely seems misleading. Even some parts of the body of the article try and push it the other way.

  • Anti-War MAGA Unites to Turn on Trump Together

    Jump

  • MAGA will never turn on Trump.

    They spent years harping on a "deep state cabal" that was trafficking children. When the world learned that the reality was actually much worse, but Daddy Trump was implicated, all of a sudden it was fake news.

    If that didn't do it, nothing will. They won't turn on Trump because MAGA is a cult of personality. It's not about facts and it's not even about principles. It's about each of them keeping Donald Trump's tiny penis in their mouth at all times.

    Are there previous historical examples of cult-like followings of US political candidates?
