Calling it a "meat shortage" is glossing over the situation. In the US we're killing 160,000 pigs a day just to throw their bodies in the landfill.[1] So the solution is to go kill more wild animals. Awesome. [1] https:&#x2

Yep. I've enjoyed both, but I think it comes down to: If your draw to the game is is your sense of connection with the place you're in, Satisfactory probably does a better job of that, with the pretty scenery and ability to build

I've long thought it would be neat to make a Factorio mod that lets you represent pieces of data as items that can be passed around and processed by different steps. For multithreaded, message-based programs it could really help one s

I like this one because I identify with the guy and happen to be in a mood to read a long thing today. But in general I tend to agree with you. A lot of things that get posted on here come off as "hey look how many words I wrote"

Capitalism currently dominates the entire planet (yes, the United States exerts its power everywhere, even to places that don't welcome it [1]). Of course it's going to be challenging to make such a comparison. [1] https:/&

Yep. Even more reason to conserve it for cases where we actually need it. Plastic is tremendously useful, though we could probably use a lot less of it, too. Particularly in the ocean.

Then at least link the first instance to the Wikipedia page or something. After reading the first couple of paragraphs I had no idea what this article was about.

I won't say it would be 'complicated', because in theory that sounds very simple. In practice, powerful corporations have enough influence over the government that regulating them in that manner isn't possible without fl

Cool bro. Please explain how Pinchochet's coup was the inevitable result of 'socialism' as opposed to that of imperialist aggresion.

Socialism, noun, "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." In how many of those stat

Great idea. Unfortunately every time people elect a socialist government the US backs a right-wing coup. So we gotta do it here, I guess.

This is what I don't understand when people claim things like "language is required for higher thought" or whatever (no link but I'm sure I've seen that claim numerous times across various articles). We necessarily

In my case it was to try to stay awake listening to all the sounds. Maybe combined with just getting up and doing something else if after a long time I still wasn't sleeping.

This reminds me of troubles I used to have falling asleep if anyone was making any noises nearby (I would get very annoyed at the fact that I was startled, which would make it even harder to fall asleep, in a terrible feedback loop). I t

Hillary Clinton is a Marxist in the "I never read Marx and have no idea what Marxism is, but I'll slap the label on everything I don't like" sense. See also: The GOP is apparently communist, now.

Yes, but a Makefile is a sensible place for documentation on how to build and run everything (that happens to be executable). If there's a bunch of scripts all over, I'm not going to know which one I'm supposed to run. And
