Why does a demon need a moustache?

The first game I played that really wanted to talk about racism and it decided to spend it's time saying is "black people can be bad too". I didn't think much of it then and I don't now.

More fuck you fascists than world, but I'll allow it

Defensive much? I find myself being very suspicious of this opposing narrative. I'm not up to speed on this these days, but I remember Keza MacDonald being generally outstanding in her ~~betrayal~~ portrayal of events in video games culture.

Why stop there? Emblazon it onto the irises of passersby with a high-powered laser, so it's scarred into their vision permanently.

There are other countries in the world that have elections apart from the US. More of them than ever before in one year are having them in 2024.

You know that immigration is a net positive for every western nation right? People coming to a country wanting to make a new life contribute to a its society and economy. They also help populations keep growing as birthrates are falling. It would be nice to see these sorts of arguments made more though, if that's what you mean?

I also like the phrase "rot economy", though it does reach a little wider

The Boltzmann brain

The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it might be more likely for a single brain to spontaneously form in a void, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did.

It's highly likely, but the getting there is definitely worth it. The game is half the story though. It feels like it stops in the middle, albeit after a significant enough plot point to give you some satisfaction. The game is incredible though and I'd definitely take that version over nothing at all.

I know right? It's incredible they weren't collecting it already.

Does anyone know why suspend-then-hibernate might not work with an "unrecognised verb" error (on ubuntu 23.04) when hibernate works?

Or is Dune about the folly of different types of dictatorship; sadistic, benevolent, religious or machiavellian? Taking only the first book (because that's as far as I've read) every leader is thwarted or confined by the consequences or weakness of their own style of leadership.
