But it has a very robust modding scene. Don’t know how polluted it is by genAI now but the early scene was pretty solid.

I loved those albums when I was in high school.

But I’m glad both DG and I have grown beyond them. They’re a little much now.

Also, this rings of saying its not murder because transgender people aren’t people.

No, it’s implicitly saying the murderer was ‘right’ to kill her because she was ‘really a black man.’ The jury was ‘deceived, by omission, into thinking this was about a woman being murdered.’

It was a facetious remark about how this change in leadership is likely to herald a bad end for the company.

Well, I still play on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Nothing that’s happened in the last 5 years of Minecraft “development” has mattered to me.

Shame about how Mojang was bankrupted tho

Hmm, yeah, sounds bulky. I like simulating the world but I’m more ad hoc with it.

Not all news, per se, but I do recall seeing reporting on how a good handful of countries are trying to combat falling birth rates. Like in Far East and Far North countries.

Can you recall any specific examples of those mechanics? Not an interrogation, just curiosity.

I think Israel wants Jewish people attacked and frightened.

Israel claims it’s the only, real sanctuary for Jews, seated on their “ancestral land.” If the whole world hates Jews, those Jews will flee to Israel and calcify into embattled Zionists. But they’re relying on ignorance, or a resistance to cognitive dissonance, to stop Jews from realizing Zionism is the foremost cause of the world becoming more unsafe for Jews.

I also love the way that the galaxy keeps going outside of what the players are doing.

Is Stars Without Numbers packaged with rules to facilitate this, somehow?

Because that’s just something a good GM should be doing, regardless.

The final line of the hypothetical makes it seem like they realize they have a lot in common because they are fragments/aspects cloned off after the original person died. But why would the zombie retain any aspect of the person, if ghosts exist? Is it positing a universe where human consciousness is the result of a twin-entity, spirit and body, copiloting the consciousness? Unless it’s an entirely new person piloting the ghost’s old corpse in zombitude. (Not even getting into why the ghost wouldn’t recognize their own body, unless the flesh has melted off.)

At this point, though, we’re mired in real Corpse of She-seus territory. And, it doesn’t seem like there is much space/reason for the shared origin to cause much pause in the relationship. It’s on the level of finding out you went to the same college or secondary school.

You have to put some sort of “joke tag” on these. A /s or /j or something.

I’ve never seen a “refactor” create substantially more lines of code.

I believe the IDF’s “military capability” is largely subsidized by the US sending nearly-unconditional aid, and because of their ideology riling them up for their chance to shoot civilians during their stint in military service.

I do think forcing the West to bear arbitrary reorganization of their borders, for once, would be “funny.” But who is going to force them to when neither the Israelis nor any European country would want that? The West could have enforced the Israeli project on the Middle East (even if Zionists weren’t salivating for the chance to colonize the area) in lieu of Jewish support.

Quoting a different one of my comments in this thread:

You’re just recommending the same course of actions that the US North took against the Confederacy. And we see how well that worked out for stomping out their noxious belief today.

If you just board up the building bigots spewed out hate from without stopping the people with bad thoughts from propagating them, then they’ll set up shop somewhere else. You have to dig them up by the roots.

But killing people for “bad thoughts” isn’t a great road to start walking down. So we arrive back at my original comment.

Who are these ‘many people’ trying break up and disperse Palestine, except Zionists? “Let them get their country back” is what you ‘do’ with them.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here at all, particularly because “that case” is indefinite. Whose case are you referring to: the real apartheid of Palestinians, or the hypothetical dissolution of Israel?

I thought “Hell” was a Christian invention that didn’t exist in Judaism?

Zionists really took that as a license to do anything.

We are clearly talking about different things.

Obviously, you stop funding them but that doesn’t fix Israel. You’re just recommending the same course of actions that the US North took against the Confederacy. And we see how well that worked out for stomping out their noxious belief today.

My question is: what to do with them?

You can’t break them up and disperse them. We tried that with Nazis after WW2 and that just seeded Nazis everywhere that formed cores for Nazi sympathizers to rally around.

Probably not great to lock them up in the country, like Cuba, either. It won’t fix their cancerous ideology…and most of their land is stolen.

Really, any actions will only fuel their persecution complex, and they’ll weave that into the indoctrination they install into the following generations of Israeli.

Once is a coincidence. Twice? Basically Gandhi.

…he shares a few proclivities with Gandhi, in fact.
