In defense of the ‘drunken sailors’ of Steam, many of the games they’ve bought are likely to still be playable for a long time, some were bought in half-yearly sales, and some were part of ‘bundles’ that were bought for a different game. The 30% also pays for the Content Delivery Network, marketing, a forum and sometimes moderation, and a genuine customer feedback mechanism. Who wouldn’t want to be part of an un-enshittified system? Fanboy? You bet. I’m not saying they can do no wrong, but they’re doing a lot right.

Religious people seem to think so. But we can restate again: If your religion leads you to hate, your religion may cause you to act unethically.

Ok, we can restate it. If your religion leads you to hate, you aren’t on the side of good, you’re on the side of bad?

In Australia they’re now called ‘intentional communities’. That might help with searching. Some are religious but some are not. Quite a few are just science/sustainability based.

Man knows his fallacies! Excellent. This bodes well for interesting discussion!

I, too, am interested in having serious good faith discussions, and will not become shrill if you present nuanced views, or criticism of mine.

Me fast forwarding through the underwater stuff so I don’t have to hold my breath. Might get the books for the same reason.

Hence the job title ‘prompt engineer’ I guess. If you know about Soylent Green, AI is people!

 

I understand what pon farr is, but where is the photo from? Which is the original? When was it taken and why? Is the original negative/print held by a particular organisation?
