Is it better to starve for scraps in a dead world of dwindling resources or to strive to find a new one?

Realistically irl, it’s way easier to teraform a mostly fine planet with a working magneto sphere and liquid water as opposed to going to another planet where you’d have to do all that yourself, but sci-fi likes to pretend there are thousands of lush green worlds out in the endless black waiting to be colonized.

The larger issue would be the lack of easily available fuel to rebuild earth with, an issue only made infinitely harder by being light-years away from home and starting on a new dead rock instead of a mostly dead one.

Democrats are a right wing party. Republicans are a far right party. Neither are left of center.

They wore the guise of one for longer than many live. In that time he would have been treated and lived as one with mortals who wouldn’t know enough to think otherwise. If this is how he choose to live I see no reason to question it.

I am not defending this practice at all, but I do think that they have sending written on them in black that the camera and compression have hidden. You don’t want to give the plebs a black and white reason to revolt.

Edit: zoomed in on the hi res version, they are holiday off.

Wasn’t windows xp PC2

1. What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn’t meant to be read as sarcastic, I’m being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

2. I’m not going to lie I just don’t trust non-indie series any more. I can’t trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

We currently aren’t running a trial campaign in it yet, however if you would like a look around I’d be happy to give you one after the holidays, feel free to DM me for details.

If a cop can take your property with no consequences and you will be arrested or killed if you defend yourself and your property, then what the law says doesn’t matter as the defacto state of reality isn’t concerned with such petty things as laws.

Yes, imminent domain. You don’t own land you only lease it from the government.

Do you mean sapient? Because plants are also sentient; all sentience is is the ability to react to senses. Sapience on the other hand is the ability to have higher thought, like tool use, teaching, recognizing yourself in a mirror, etc… Finally there is the ability to feel pain which I do not think has a word. Plants from what we can tell cannot process pain, but can process negative stimuli.

It is done.

That’s rough aswell. I don’t know what’s worse, having it happen fast cutting the time you have together short, or having it go slow and long.

Either way you have my best of wishes for yourself and your furry family.

I have done so for you

I played this game around when it came out as a kid at a family members house we were visiting while sick.

My only memory was beating it and about an afternoon, that it’s story was completely nonsensical, and that it was basically just a mediocre call of duty clone but achieved my goal of killing an afternoon quite well.

The creation of a thing gives you no special power over how the rest of the world treats it.

Question: “I shouldn’t be expected to assume that. Furthermore, when they tell me and my natural response is “Huh?” I shouldn’t be vilified for not knowing what they mean”

Who has ever done this to you. Ever. Who have you met that asked you to address them in a specific way then got pissy at you over it? I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but neither me nor anyone I know nor anyone who knows a person I know has ever had this happen to them.

Also: “and that should be taken into consideration, but that doesn’t mean everything they say is right.”

How can someone be wrong about the courtesy title that they choose to use? Like the entire concept and name ‘courtesy title’ make it pretty clear what they are about.

Is it really so hard to respect a person enough to address them with the courtesy title they ask you to use? Are you in any way inconvenienced by saying “Hello Mx. TWeaK, how are you today”?

I agree that Mc is made up bullshit

Boy do I have bad news for you about every other word that exists in every single language. There is no word tree we harvest fresh ripe new words from, everything is made up. We are just meat squirting air through our various holes because we like the sounds they make and wish to communicate thought.

In addition to what @Pons_Aelius replied, it is also used as a benchmark/flex for computers, as to who can build a beefy enough machine or good enough card to calculate more digits of pi.
