Money. Untold amounts of money for selling sensationalism as a product. He's always played both sides and benefits. For example, he invested $120mil into Theranos while at the same time WSJ was investigating them for fraud.

Er... Not possible.

But let's look at anything that's had their genes edited, bananas for example. They can't breed and need to be cloned. One single disease will wipe out that genetically modified banana into extinction.

Same goes for humans. You edit something that's not tried and tested against the very environment that you live in, you're instantly vulnerable. Viruses and bacterium evolve much more quickly than we do and you just can't edit genes fast enough to account for that.

So, on the bright side, the rich who will edit their genes to favour human traits will ultimately suffer the consequences of nature. Was brilliantly covered in War of the Worlds, the novel.

Nature takes its course.

Remember the rich tried to keep their genes separate from the masses by inbreeding. Look at where that got them.

I'll see you there then. This has been going on for long enough. They're so full of crap, they don't even realise that this land was never ceded from the traditional owners who have walked this part of the earth for over 60k years.

CLAMP School Detectives has this kindergarten girl go on a date with her male teacher.

I think CLAMP does the male groomer thing quite a bit, actually. Seishirou and Subaru from Tokyo Babylon, for example.

Art auctions are a money laundering scam anyway.

Nah. Wouldn't it have just been one season and then cancelled the rest because they didn't make a billion overnight?

That may be true but it's also important to have self resilience against useless criticism. I mean, it's not your fault your excitement has triggered someone else's defences, causing them to attack you. Best thing to do is walk away and only engage again when you're calm, if you want to still engage with them.

I've just done a dive into this myself. It's not fake. The CEO is an arsehole and a bully. Luckily, the tennis player meet up with the boy later and more than made up for the arseholery.

Because the decision makers aren't making games they want to play. There just making business decisions on what they think sells more. It's not rocket science to make a game that's fun but it takes a lot of involvement and passion, something that CEOs and other C suites don't have time for.

 

A dark, slow paced tune about an extinction. Just spreading some Aussie influence, though technically she's UK since she lives and works from there now.

 

I really love this new song of theirs. Really glad they're still kicking around and coming up with bangers like these.

Also just joined the community after seeing the link in micro globe memes! Loving the collections here.

 

I switched to a Linux Mint/Win11 dual boot system over the weekend and installed Unity from Flathub. Running Unity Hub is fine but when I try to login, it hangs with no errors. I can log into the asset store just fine, so nothing wrong with the credentials. I'd like to know what terminal commands I could use to see what it's actually doing and figure out why it hangs.

I really don't want to continue using it in Windows and only keep it to run work programs, and really need to use Unity for University.

Edit: Troubleshooted via the terminal, then uninstalled the .Deb package that I downloaded from the Unity website and then followed another tutorial from another part of their website with terminal commands. Managed to log in and run my projects.

 

Thankfully, the cyclist got away with non life threatening injuries.

Seen on husband's ride to work this morning. Our local council is right on brand.
