EVE Online: humanity’s distant future

Halo: “Run! It’s the demon!”

Mario Kart: drive around as Bowser

Amen. That’s often what I say to them: if you can’t describe the argument you didn’t understand it.

A reference should contain a timestamp or a page number. That’s always been the standard for citations. You don’t just reference a book.

Also, whatever claim from the original material supports your argument should be quoted or paraphrased by you in your argument.

Citations aren’t the same as bibliography. A citation is just in case a person doesn’t trust your claim that “A said X”; they can follow your citation to check if that’s true.

Bibliography is further reading, if a person wants to know more about what you’re saying.

What do you have against taking mushrooms?

It’s not in any way genocide. How do you figure that it is?

Did they vote against extending funding to FEMA for immigrant support, or did they vote against extending funding for disaster relief?

One thing this article makes clear is that funding to FEMA is not a monolith.

No, I’m not asking for Planetside. You said what I’m asking for is Planetside, not me.

What I don’t like about Planetside is the shit graphics, the fact that the entire game is circle-strafing polygon spiders around on a GTA motorcycle, the fact that enemies simply teleport into existence and in perfect proportion to the number of people nearby, the monotonous world design, etc.

Quantum computers can solve some differential equation problems in essentially zero time. You seem to assume that most heavy lifting cannot be expressed in terms of this data type; that seems premature to me.

Quantum computers are insanely powerful computers. Their performance on the class of problems which they can solve is essentially infinite.

I’m talking about all comments everywhere. Everyone commenting in all fora.

People bitch about capitalism everywhere all the time. It is the zeitgeist of our time that capitalism is bad.

if everything was good

… we’d be in a utopia. There are problems because it is inherent to the nature of reality that problems are going to exist.

Fewer economic problems exist under capitalism than in nature, or in any other economic system that’s been tried. Comparing our situation to a situation with no problems is fruitless.

A free market, ie situations where both parties must consent before economic cooperation happens, is the most productive arrangement of economic decision-making. It produces the least starvation, the least anxiety, the least disease, the least war, the least violation of people’s rights.

However their static Star Fox series is great

I’m from the fed. We just put everyone on the list pre-emptively. It’s a big list, and you’re all on it!
