Captive market. Easy prey.
Call it what you want, those with no morals have no boundaries. This is what laws are supposed to prevent, but y’know, the sociopaths have normalised greed and gluttony, and made it the “dream” of a nation.
It decays, like the physical body. Entropy comes for everything in the end.
“Ignorance is bliss”
That would be the consciousness that lives in the meat puppet, the experiences of life shaping it the whole time.
Not a soul, per se, just an accident of physics. Something as yet unquantifiable, but definitely something. Quite possibly something involving quantum physics, which would explain the difficulty in determining what makes us, us.
We’ve discovered that a number of life forms appear to use quantum effects in some way, the ones I remember were navigation oriented (ba dum tish). Having existing examples of biology making use of the quantum world makes the idea much less of a stretch.
Food for thought. 💛
I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(
You owe me a coffee and a new keyboard.
Graphics system usually. Back in the day I used to be able to tell where on the screen the cursor was from the pitch of the coil whine.
I buy better hardware nowadays 😂
Other than a significant portion of them getting sucked into bullshit from the likes of Andrew Taint et al.
Can Z fuck the corpos before the corpo algorithms fuck Alpha?
BET NOW!
There’s a quote for everything, almost like we’ve been through exactly this before…
“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
While the wilfully ignorant majority believe everything they see and hear. Which is why it was done in the first place.
“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Etc.
This needs putting on billboards, I’m fed up of bringing this to people’s attention. With a slight wording tweak, it’s applicable to a worldwide audience too.
Anything is dangerous shit with enough of an idiot at the helm.
Drugs are more regulated than guns in the US for fuck’s sake. That there should be enough.
I bet the mental gymnastics routine to justify that is straight tens.
You’re describing gmod, if the engine wasn’t… Well, like it is.
*Instead of developers having to use thousands of tricks, filters, shortcuts, and post-processing algorithms very carefully arranged and stacked, ray tracing simulates light waves to arrive at the same end result the same way the world actually works.
Ultimately, ray tracing will mean the vast simplification (and therefore cost reduction) of the way visuals in games are produced. Which I’d wager is why it’s being pushed so hard.
While people will undoubtedly take the piss, for a number of reasons, it’s less energy expenditure / lower footprint than you getting in your car/truck and going to the store and getting them yourself.
I disagree. You’re pretty on target with that.
The diversity we have as a species is -and always has been- our greatest strength. It means a subset of us can usually do at least “ok” under any given situation.
The same thing is what made some poxy little island able to rule a vast swathe of the planet. The UK took the best of everything it encountered, and added it to it’s own, like the Borg. Of course, like everywhere else that’s run by plutocrats, in an effort to keep us all divided anything “foreign” is currently bad, and to be shunned.
