And step six is “Profit”

Yep, my comment was written pre-coffee. Why dyou ask?

Also I saw a post recently which days that Trudy was the most efficient language in terms of information exchange, so I shouldn’t really be making jokes about its efficiency.

It would be more like <<image pris par appareil-photo qui possède de la fonque>>

I agree it would have been a classic without the mods. What I’m saying is it’s better than a lot of other classics, as a gaming experience, because of the mods.

Skyrim is a classic game, and there are always going to people playing it, like there will always be people playing Half Life 2, Mario and Tetris. But I think what makes Skyrim stand out is that it’s still exciting a decade later because it’s still changing and improving. Amazing groups of people are dragging that game into every new generation and changing it in every way imaginable. It has infinite replay value. So it has the draw of just being a great vanilla game but also the benefit of mods. It’s safe to say it wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular today without the huge library of mods.

But it holds up thanks to the mods that are available for it now. Mods which are all developed by not-Bethesda. Vanilla Skyrim doesn’t hold up in 2024, modded Skyrim does.

That sounds like a threat?

All songs should be taken literally, which is why I eat love and prayers, and have a restraining order against me for trying to drag Hozier into a church at knifepoint.

I’m not sure becoming desensitised to trauma is an effective strategy either. That suggests that we stop caring about what’s going on.
I’m in the same situation, 2016-2020 was a stressful time. Constantly trying to keep up with each horrible new development, about which I could do nothing but despair, became an unhealthy obsession. I don’t want to do that again. I’m not a political scientist, and I neglected my own personal growth and development becoming an armchair expert in politics because I could see what was happening. This time I’m going to focus on myself and the people around me because that’s all I can do. The world will keep turning. If I have the opportunity to do something positive, I’ll take it.

Fair enough.

Good point. The stupids aligned with the evils on this one.

Haha! To prove that it wasn’t me, I just downvoted you. You are now on -1.

Sorry dude, you assumed too much there. I’m in Europe, and don’t go around down voting people in the middle of the night.

Anyway, your point. It’s irrelevant, since we were talking about NASA vs. the space rangers or whatever they’re called. Not This Guy vs. me.

No, it’s space administration. And they are the ones who actually know a thing about how spaceflight works, unlike this guy, evidently.

Does he?

Does he what?

He clearly supported Brexit no matter what the semantics of it are

What do you mean by the word “semantics” in this sentence? I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Here are some examples of John Oliver opposing Brexit:

guardian, 2019

Last Week Tonight, Jun 2016

Last Week Tonight, Brexit ii

Last Week Tonight, Brexit iii

John Oliver publicly, repeatedly opposed Brexit, using his considerable platform to do so. With respect, you are talking out of your anus.

You seem to want to paint John Oliver as a stereotype, and then claim that this is all he is. I find that reductive, ignorant and distasteful. Here is someone who addresses issues varying from presidential accountability to gambling laws, national, international and global issues, with compassion, logic, humanity and humour. And you try to boil him down to a stereotype. You’re not even able to define the stereotype you’re trying to invoke. It would be funny if it weren’t shameful.

NASA.

Am I god now?

No, but you’re nearly Franz Reuleaux

There’s the border, then there’s The Border. One is a line drawn on a map for administrative purposes, sometimes comes with its own road sign. The other is a checkpoint where your documents are handed over and you’re at the mercy of the border authority. Usually doesn’t happen between towns, but those are pretty popular in places like Soviet Germany, apartheid South Africa and the West Bank for example.

Repetition.

You’re absolutely right there. We’re hard wired to think this way and it’s a constant battle.
