You can’t honestly believe that mass surveillance will help prevent those deaths, right?

It won’t. It’ll be used punitively.

Sounds about right for engineering nerds. I was a deckie and y’all were basically wizards as far as I was concerned

Well, we can’t say that they did nothing good for this planet.

Frankly, it does need suspicion. She’s only sane now because Trump dropped her like a flaming dog turd

Sea Fever by John Mansfield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Where is that?

Realistically paying money to places like that is a horrible idea

While agreed …

There are some more pressing issues currently going on.

Like multiple wars, a handful of active genocides, modern slavery on a global scale that’s largely out of the public eye (honestly focusing so much on slavery of the past feels kinda like a slap in the face to the slaves of today), food and clean water scarcity in various places, and the general state of places like Haiti, Eritrea, and South Sudan

Is it though? We are currently seeing the forced nationalism be weaponized.

Talking about students using AI, right?

It’s OK. there are unskippable cutscenes and you occasionally get locked out of going other places, skipping time, or generally doing something you want to do because story. I hate that.

And the car handles like absolute butt.

And the UI is also butt.

Mostly agreed, though I did fully complete elden ring because I enjoyed it a lot. Too many repeat bosses but the main story bosses were fun.

Lies of P… Yeah. I got to the second to last boss and just couldn’t. It’s parry system has like half as many acceptable frames as sekiro, so that’s why it sucked for me. I just couldn’t get the timing and it limits the amount you can grind for levels to make up for it.

Just about every sexually reproducing species that we have extensively studied has had some level of homosexuality pop up.

The more interesting ones are the documented cases of trans individuals. Some fish and reptiles can straight up change genders and be fertile. Birds and mammals have documented cases of females starting to exhibit male characteristics in the absence of a male.

Ew.

First guy ended up gay. Not that I have an issue with that, it was the lies and using me as a cover for his very religious family that stung.

Second cheated. Also stung

Third was actually a decent guy, I ended things with him because we just weren’t compatible. That also kinda hurt because I didn’t want to hurt him!

Oh no, some stupidity is definitely a choice and deserves to be called out as such.

Also, I don’t think insane is always used as scorn. Just a description.

Which is one of the reasons it’s “newsworthy”

As gross as that is.
