And usually just take pictures of things at work as a note taking method.

I don’t know the physics behind it, or if it’s even true (could just be a placebo effect), but if you scrunch the paper there is less streaking on the clean up.

Babylon 5 had wizards.

Not OP, but I didn’t like what they did to Chani. Kinda felt like that character got done dirty.

In the books, she was pretty much ride or die. The movie, not so much.

I’d estimate that 90%+ of us would be dead in a matter of months if not weeks.

Consider the significant lack of food available. Think about how much food the average person has in their house. Probably a week, maybe two. Perhaps a month if you’re wise and start rationing immediately. But most won’t. Most people would be in denial at the start and assume someone or something would rescue us.

Now consider how much food there is available at your local grocery store. And how many people that store could feed. Compare that to the population of the geographic area that store supports and you’ll see that for the most part we would be out of food in a matter of months.

Sure we could scavenge and perhaps hunt small game, but that’s limited and not something most people could do. But to get to a point where we’re actually able to do some level of substance farming, that could take up to a year to complete depending on the season society collapses. Before we get there most of us would have staved to death. Probably too many would die and there wouldn’t be enough labour to work the farms either.

And that’s just considering food. There’s still the issue of clean potable water, and infections or other health issues that turn deadly quickly without modern medical intervention.

And these issues are all compounded if you live in a high density urban environment. Which many do.

TLDR: if society collapses, it might be wise to just bow out before things get really bad.

Although you should be using an RFID blocking case to hold your cards.

Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

As others say…. Multiple monitors for work. One big ultra wide for gaming.

My only “complaint” about ultra wide is that most gaming ui’s aren’t configured for them. Meaning that to look at the mini map in a game like Cyberpunk, you have to take your eyes off the centre of the screen. Then you will crash your car.

This is a decent and fun 4X game. Definitely worth the new price if you enjoy those games.

In penny’s please. I’ll let you pay for shipping. :)

I’ll take that bet.

How would you like to pay me?

Yup. I was willing to watch one or two short ads before I watch a video, but the mid rolls and unskippable 30+second ads just made me say “well that’s enough of that”. Now I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a long time.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. There were other paths to citizenship (iirc something akin to the peace corps and perhaps even business success? It’s been a while since I read it). But it wasn’t just military. It’s just that military was the easiest for most people.

As a metaphysical solipsist, I haven’t decided yet.

I also agree. But for a for-profit company like Reddit, there should be a threshold for certain subreddits that require mods to be paid.

That is, for a major/popular subreddit like pics the mods should be paid by Reddit.

For a minor subreddit like r/hotgirls whowanttohavesexwithgcanuck the mods can be unpaid.

While I don’t disagree…. I’d just like to say, that if you pay enough for porn, you can get exactly what you’re looking for.

ROI isn’t worth it though.

As someone who will never play these games ( not my thing), how is this implemented? I would assume that expecting users to rate other players would be burdensome and wouldn’t have the legs to work over a long period of time.

I truly like the idea, as the toxicity in online gaming is a primary reason I will never play these games, but I also wouldn’t want to personally rate the folks I play with every match either. Just lazy. But if it was easy and streamlined I wouldn’t mind it.

Just curious on how it all works I guess.

Satisfactory. I love this game. I hate the fact that it chews up so much game time. This blows CIV games out of the water for the “one more turn” effect for me.

But I was cruising the other place one day, and saw a user with the flair “it’s not a game, it’s a hobby”. And that changed a lot of my attitude towards this game. Now I treat it like an overly complex model train builder.

AFAIK, it’s not the legality per se that keeps the actual incest off the provider, but that credit card companies won’t allow their cards to be used to pay for such services.

But I’m just a regular pervert on the internet. I’m only parroting what I read online.

I was disappointed by the lack of Pathfinder. To the point where I think this author isn’t credible.

BG3 is a much prettier game. And by a lot.

But the Pathfinder games are a more immersive adventure.
