As more people start to grow up in the fucked climate, they will see it as the norm.

This is aside from all the misinformation and disinformation being thrown at everyone.

Yes. Taking an existing thing and improving upon it is the literal definition of innovation.

You forgot the part where the komodo dragon’s “promised land” was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.

Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.

“We don’t send sensitive information through texts.”

The ignorance almost physically hurts… Thinking that only the actual message content is important.

Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.

Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.

At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.

Same with teeth.

Sure, I can live without them but everything becomes harder and worse and there’s an awful period where you could probably die from the infections as many people used to.

But those are luxury bones covered by other, separate insurance, as though it is not related to my health.

Good for them. I bought this years ago in beta and have no regrets. Amazingly complex rogue like. I hope it gets a bit of recognition

I finally got a cane and I’m finding it really nice to feel so much more stable walking around. I don’t need it for a limp or pain, but I get really dizzy from a TBI and it feels like having part of my freedom back

They will probably barely care even if it strikes down their own children. They will cry and say it was God’s will and overlook that it was preventable

PS2 was definitely a huge jump to me, too

The biggest detail for me being that characters blinked outside of cut scenes in higher resolution (for the time) games like The Bouncer.

It stopped feeling like leaps after that. And even that, for me, felt more like polish.

But I love the discussion and I like seeing where and how people draw the lines!

I have friends my age who won’t play games in anything below 1440p, 120Hz and I’m like… You are denying yourself a whole world of awesome games and experiences…

It’s hard to really describe to younger generations just what it was like.

I’m an elder millennial (1984) and the changes to games within my lifetime has been breath taking and staggering.

The first game I remember playing is River Raid on my brother’s Atari. I was a vaguely plane shaped black block.

A couple years later, I find myself playing Super Mario Bros. A few more and it’s SMB3 and I’m holding a gameboy in my hands on the road trips to Florida to see my grandparents.

Then the jump to SNES and Genesis. Seeing that depth and life seep into the characters… The music gaining in complexity…

I even had a Sega CD and I remember how mind blowing it was when Sonic turned and ran towards the back to go through a loop instead of just side to side.

Then for it was PS1 with Final Fantasy 7… Graphical cut scenes like moving works of art.

After this point, yes there was still obvious and sometimes bigger jumps… But this is where it all was SO different each generation. Not just seeing extra small details and polishes. Large, discrete jumps forward

I wish I could give my wonder to anyone who never got to experience it. It was an amazing time to live.

It’s sad how true this rings.

And I’m not sure how much other people understand about how thick the bubble is that they’ve been submerged into.

And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

Here’s a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.

You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a “total fabrication” when there’s roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.

I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.

Directly from the article

“To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site.”

I’m not personally saying that one building is a city but it’s a start.

They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I’m not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.

The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.

They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That’s why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can’t destroy something you haven’t created.

It’s sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as “the money delusion”.

It doesn’t matter if the money can be “gathered up” to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

The national “debt” is a misnomer. That’s the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the “dollars” that pay interest which we call bonds.

I’m glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.

This.

More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn’t analogous to that of a household.

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

As someone with decision paralysis and executive dysfunction issues, this is true for me. I’m probably more than capable of using it for a daily driver but there are 5000 flavors and I will likely never be able to make a solid choice until one is obviously vastly superior in some way I need.

Omg. I lost The Game.

I haven’t lost The Game by thinking about The Game in at least 5 years.

OP is a diabolical genius.

Look at the zero fucks I give about whatever “private assets” will be stolen by Russia.

Maybe don’t sink your money into that place when they’re clearly our rival and enemy.
