Yes. Right after PR event for "gods chosen people" and some fun shooty-time with Hamas.

Never personally met an atheist that had found religion or heard about one, other than in American evangelical stories, but I've met a few non-religions people who have later in life found religion. Although I live in a quite atheaistic country, so there is a lack of peer pressure or need to talk about such things.

Everyone is everything in the internetz.

That was more a comment on obfuscation of the net. In internet you can just trow adjectives together and somebody will raise their hand, but you can never be sure if they are just putting on a role.

These were godly at the time, but due to storytelling, modding community and mission editors. Flight model and combat mechanics were little too "Wing Commnder" even back then. Todays space pilots would need something more in line with Elite Dangerous, Helium Rain and Star Citizen.

I even remember this as coin slot machine at a local arcade. It had trackballs as controllers. Truly unique.

If US finally gets its second civil war, its really easy to pick who goes in to the mass graves. You can just use an algorithm.

Same goes for the rest of the world. If ever occupied by Russia, you can be sure you'll be "calling Zelenskyi" on a daily basis for every anti-Russian post you ever made.

Summer for the exact opposite reason. In winter it's -10 to -30ºC and the sun doesn't come up for two months. Absolute bullshit. I don't even do winter sports.

Global news coverage and maybe some light martyrdom on the side?

C64 -> MS-DOS 3 -> 4DOS -> Win 95 -> Win 2000 -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> chaotic smattering of various distros that changed almost weekly -> Mint -> Arch -> Manjaro -> MXLinux -> SteamOS (SteamDeck), Rasbian.

Maybe not yet, but soon. I'm a member of the first gaming generation. I started with C64 and various 'standolone one game hand consoles' that Nintendo built back then before NES.

One thing you have to understand is that in the 80's males older than me thought gaming was for children only. Only childish nerds were interested about such things. "Cool" kids feared they'd get socially ostracized if caught using a computer, let alone playing video games.

This attitude is still quite strong in 50+ and fact that we revert back as we get old makes it worse. From their perspective it's same as giving then shitload of legos/dublos to build stuff and they will resent you for insulting their dignity.

I think in 20 years PCs and consoles will be basic hardware for nursing homes.

random_character_a , 13 days ago (edited 13 days ago)

Fuck yeah! If you throw enough legos at nurses you also get sedatives.

random_character_a , 13 days ago

There are always exceptions. I've got few geezers as steam friends, but I've met much more 50+ colleagues who laugh at me for telling I'm a gamer.

Because certain closely knit ethnicity has significant power and wealth in US economy, so neither Republicans or Democrats want to fuck with that setup?

random_character_a , 18 days ago

Oh boy. This is a tough one.

In one part every citizen is in small part accountable for their government, if nothing else then through inaction. Then again they might be leaving their country, because they or their family member took action. With all this hate will it decrease the chance of somebody taking action?

But what if we look at this from East European perspective? They were under Soviet boot for decades as second rate citizens in their own country. Russians controlling everyting through inserted puppet government. Russians spoke alot about comradeship, but their stance was clear that Russians were higher breed. Do they have more right to hate every Russian?

Hate is nothing new to Russians, they see it everywhere, due to the countries history of agressive foreign policies and spy operations.

This makes me think this is just a propaganda bit. Primarily aimed for domestic use. "Don't leave Russia, they'll just hate you."

If you need to be stoned, then that, Interstellar, Solaris (2002), Sunshine or Sphere.

random_character_a , 26 days ago

Yes. Loud, egotistic and obnoxious when in their comfort zone. Disappears in blink of an eye when shit hits the fan. Got several colleagues like that. Wouldn't know the difference.

random_character_a , 26 days ago

So there's gonna be such a thing as black Russian?

random_character_a , 29 days ago

There's nothing similar, but "you're confused between porridge and gruel" comes closest.

Thats means that you are knowledgeable, but ignorant on the finer details that makes the case different. When you're troubleshooting something, it fits.

random_character_a , 29 days ago

Yeah. That's the worst.

They used to hang out with flat earthers and earth centrics, but I'm guessing they had to cut out some of the crazy stuff to appeal to larger audience, with the less tangible stuff.

If you work hard and long hours for the company, you'll advance in your career and become esteemed leader and collect rich rewards.

I'm sitting on it and I'm not 100% sure it exists.

Just a thought. If you just have a preliminary motion and your travel velocity is due to warping of space, wouldn't objects caught in your warp field just move with you till they exit?

Any intelligent AI would probably see meating other sentient species as unpredictable dice roll that has a too many ways to end catastrophically. Best odds are just to made the parent civilization undetectable.

How badly are you anchored in you current location. If nothing is holding you back, drop everything, pick a direction and go, till you find something or something finds you.

I think A.I and sufficiently good robotics will bring back class society to those countries that don't currectly have it. Elite will become more powerful, corporate power will surpass governments, rest of humanity will wallow in poverty, since they no longer have leverage in society. Whole world will become corporate driven banana republic.

random_character_a , 2 months ago

...and if things in Ukraine get really silly. Fallout.

random_character_a , 2 months ago

Why would those countries educate the general public to disagree with local power structures, when they mostly just need submissive cheap workforce.

Government educates people when they are a part of the nations money flow. When educated citizens are assets. In your basic banana republic model the people are not part of it. They are just cheap labor for low level jobs, living on scraps. Educating them is down right dangerous for the government. If needed, educated personnel are supplied by foreign actors exploiting the situation.

Poverty and lack of education are forms of control and are not fixed by injecting teachers or money.

Some of those were dangerous as hell and we won't see them in consumer use ever, unless somebody wants a very expensive frag grenade.

I actually don't know the manufacturer or model.

My childhood friend had a car in the late 90's that was like Fiat Strada, but the style was little more Japanese. My friend had ripped off all insignias and tags.

Car was a nightmare to drive. It had very little power, top speed was about 130km/h and it wobbled oddly in turns. Even the gear stick was bendy plastic thing and it was hard to tell if the gear was really in or not.

They vary more on pleasant, cute, chummy spectrum. Non of them is "hot". Unless you have a fetish for teddy bears or something cutesy like that.
