You know how you can put salt and pepper on most things? Salt comes from just about everywhere, but pepper does not.

A very brief one, sure, I could agree with that. Most assholes aren’t worth more than a few words from a mod though. This is the internet after all, trolls abound.

Check the modlog, they usually cite which rule was broken. I think “evil” is a pretty strong word, unfair maybe, but lots of things are unfair without being evil.

Awhile ago they released mod support, and I’m pretty sure I remember hearing about a mod that made it real time with pause.

I ended up dropping it too, but it’s more that I’m just not as into rpgs as I was in the past. I can recognize how good it is, but the genre just doesn’t do it for me anymore.

People have freedom. This includes the freedom to allow you or disallow you from being around them. You cannot simply break into someone’s house and talk to them if they don’t want you to, for instance.

Governments do not get this freedom. Governments should and frequently do get constraints that individuals should not.

Here, we are individuals, not governments. This service was made by a bunch of randos, it’s theirs. Not all of ours. We are here, in their house, because they invited us. They can disinvite us any time they want, they should and do have that freedom.

Some plastics are more stable than others. That said, we are admittedly far too lackadaisical with them in general.

To answer your direct question, we do have an FDA that does a passable job with some things, salmonella outbreaks, emergency vaccine development, stuff like that. There is probably some regulatory capture at play, though, where business interests get their people appointed into oversight roles. When a full half of our government is so vocally and rabidly pro-business, this is difficult to prevent in the long run.

It’s a hardware intensive process that tries to make lighting as realistic as possible. So, which areas are illuminated, which are in shadow. From an artistic perspective, this is very important to how a user visually processes any particular image.

No, not really. Just better graphics.

Not a bad article, but horrendously clickbaity headline.

Ahhh, that’s what the alt-right instance was called. Thank you. I was consistently getting hexbear and exploding heads crossed in my head. For … some reason.

War is very seldom inevitable. We tend not to focus much attention on wars that never started, because that does not make for very engaging history content. It happens far more frequently than a war actually starting though.

They don’t really think it that far through. Policy proposals aren’t considered, it’s more about vibe.

After the election, AOC reached out to her constituents to ask why some of them would vote for both Trump and her.

There’s a variety of answers, but the general sentiment is people want some way to “shake up Washington” without a real understanding of how exactly that would work or what would happen.

Probably a locked cell phone, a keyring with some unidentifiable keys on it and a wallet with cards but no cash in it.

Depends on platform I suppose. Here, the level of activity is low enough that if you’re reading the comments, you’re usually reading all of them. In a major reddit sub that is seldom the case.

Those trolls live off of engagement

Not anymore. Back in the day trolling was a recreational activity done for fun. Deny the fun, cut off the troll’s food. Now it’s being done for political purposes, so cutting off the fun no longer functions since it no longer strikes at the primary motivation.

Also somewhat amusing that my reply about the US Constitution, our founding political document, remains up. Discussing the Constitution is about as political as you can get.

At any rate, I didn’t realize there was a new rule here. I get it though, election year and all.

That is not specified in the Constitution, and is an open question. Nobody has ever tried, to my knowledge.

Obama made this a goal of his second term, and while he achieved some success, the relationship between the west and the other major nuclear powers has significantly worsened since then.

It’s an admirable goal, but I’m not sure it’s going to be feasible any time in the near future.

This is an excellent idea. Did you happen to find any?
