The best opinion is formed from complete information. More information is strictly harmful if it’s driven by one-sided bad faith distribution networks. Having a foreign government control the narratives that reach mass audiences is not at a

I’m not convinced they would have reacted this way otherwise. A lot of folks have been empowered to say “end the war in Gaza”. A lot of those folks don’t quite know what to say to “should we allow Hamas to seize control of Palestine”?

I work there. It’s just a very decentralized place. What you do is driven by a tiny branch of the widest, flattest org you’ve ever seen. They’ve added some governance as to what partners can just sign up to do themselves. But it’s all firew

I doubt it. You’d maybe freak out about it for a week but eventually you’re going to come to terms with the fact that this weird setup has absolutely no effect on your actual experience. Same for other contrived things like dying and gettin

The rules on how to play begin on something like page 29 if memory serves. Personally I find that ridiculous. I believe the glossary also recommends to you pages that cover the concepts in both halves of the book, but the rules in the first

They don’t eat humans generally. They did eat a guy in one of the later ones. But the better thought out films don’t have them doing this. Just killing or paralyzing things and then taking them back to the nest.

Best thing we can do is stop pulling it out of the ground. Best way we can do that is to build out renewables. Best way to do that is to create a profit incentive for an oversupply of power that sucks up carbon.
