And even the things you have achieved are meaningless, people probably didn’t like it, and you’re still so bad at the NEW THING, why evén get öut ofbed

I think medical advancement could be as dramatic this century was in the last. However, patent law is likely to hold us back

Writing down a crypto wallet key in a self hosted password manager on a highly encrypted self hosted drive which degraded. Pretty much the same with the photos, if I didn’t encrypt my backups I would have been able to recover more files.

You would not believe how much I have lost from being obsessed with high-threat modeling for my low-threat life. $10k and family videos for a start.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to protect the community from itself lol.

Anonymous sex in bathrooms has become almost nonexistent in my city since Grinder.

I’m sure there are a few beats left, but nothing like it used to be.

Dogging seems to have picked up, but I assume the married are organising these affairs online.

1. How to live safely in a science fictional universe
2. The forever war
3. Catch 22

Art is theft

All art is inspired by other art, it grows, evolves, eats itself, parodies life, informs living.

I wouldn’t worry about it

How much was WeWork valued at without turning a profit?

I hang out with my cats.

People have weird impressions of animal companions, especially cats, because they treat them poorly. You should raise animals like children: learn from a good cat parent directly and read up on evidenced-based books. It’s easy to see parallels with poor parenting: intergenerational poor parenting, nuclear families where the grandparents aren’t actively engaged in teaching how to parent, absent parents due to capitalisms unending grind.

It takes patience, positive reenforcement, consistency, and commitment. But cats can be best friends.

Libreoffice calc does not have the functionality Excel does.

In Australia an official diagnosis can be used against you in legal proceedings. Such as, custody hearings. For this reason medical professionals will often recommended against official diagnosis as an adult, unless the diagnosis will have beneficial outcomes.

Alternatively, they may just be trying to identify your goals. This will inform them how to structure their therapy. No point working on an area which doesn’t affect your quality of life or one you don’t care about and won’t do the homework for. If there is no therapy for your concerns and a diagnosis won’t help, they shouldn’t waste your time and money getting one.

ikr, ITT, people getting mad they don’t fit into / agree with a strangers green flag list. The world is a wild place and I hope it’s not as hostile or absurd as I believe it is.

I’d classify battlestar is an easy game. Both Nemesis and New Angeles are more complex to teach and learn to new, especially non-hobbyist, people. However, this also means games don’t drag on or feel long; even if you’re loosing there’s something to think about and time flies.

I would find it difficult to enjoy a short negotiation game - as the consequences over time are part of the fun. For something short and social I might recommended Ra or Modern Art, both by Knizia, while not having traitor mechanics someone will betray a deal every game.

A thin piece of felt the size of my dining room table.

I use it every time we play anything, at minimum, weekly.

Have you thought about New Angeles?

Nemesis is a great game, but very dissimilar to battlestar. If you are keen for nemesis and social games, get the original. The layout of the map and goal objectives lend themselves better to paranoia and sabotage.

Isn’t this a perfect example where stable diffusion excels over the traditional process?

It’s an interesting one to me for two reasons.

\1. Israels allies are culturally and ideologically opposed to what Israel has been doing in the region since WW2. It is imperialistic, subjugating and what the west has been trying to move away from in the later half of the 20th century. However, it is strategic to them to support Israel so they will continue to bite their tongues and support their ally.

\2. After the second world war Europe has been very cautious of any nation displaying imperialist intent. The mindset was featured heavily in the Falkland island conflict, etc. With Israel’s obvious intent of expanding their land, especially with Zionist ambition, many strategists in Europe may find themselves thinking of the similarities between 1940s Germany and the current political ideology of the state of Israel.
