The US president has been an emperor in all but title for generations at least.

The collapse of an empire is correct. USA is absolutely an empire, and we're clearly seeing unprecedented contractions and spasms of our government as it ineffectually attempts to govern while doing everything it can to foment civil

It has nothing to do with stupidity. Stop painting people as idiots because they exist in one of the most information hostile environments in human history. This isn't some natural state that's unrecoverable. The people you descri

If the fidelity of the video is high enough, you could use SFM to build point clouds from the generated video frames and essentially do photogrammatry on the assets from a genie video.

You don't have to do it in real time, per se. I imagine a world in which the renderer and the world generation are decoupled. For example, you could descriptively articulate what you wanted to achieve and have it generate a world, quie

I find my compulsion towards videogames is decreased. Not eliminated, but I feel much less compelled to be playing all the time.

Weird. I tore up my lawn and replaced with wildflowers, native perennials, deep mulch from local leaf litter, and a small vegetable plot. I don't think I robbed the local ecosystem in the slightest. In fact, I'm fairly confident I

It's more complex than that. That's like saying planting a garden robs the local ecosystem. Maybe! Maybe not! Native pollinators have different life cycles and different plants they evolved to get food from. Honeybees, likewise, w

Sorry, I should have included -- in the context of the story. They are of course, not agents. They are fictional characters in a videogame. But humans built them, and humans framed them in the camera. Those humans did have the choice to p

They absolutely work. I'm a parent, my kid plays games. I have yet to have any concerning close calls with NSFW content. People who make adult games (by and large) don't want kids to play their games. If the platform doesn't

There's plenty of hard core material on Amazon as well, fwiw.

In a videogame, I can think of some examples. In Kotor 2, there's a character called "The Handmaiden", who will join your party if the player character is a male. She talks at great length about her situation and the decision

Weirdly, Amazon sells TONS of porn and NSFW content, and yet doesn't lose their Visa/Mastercard processing. Game of Thrones, both the books and the show, contain content much, much more explicit than many of these games. Yet Itch

It has to do with agency, primarily. Is the character in the media given the agency and depth necessary to support their sexual appetites? Or are they treated like an object by the camera, a 2 dimensional cutout whose purpose is only to be

There exist sex-negative feminists, but it is wrong to describe that as a feminist position. For the better part of a decade feminists have been wildly anti- objectification , not anti-sex. It's an important distinction. For example, m

Murder is not the only violent crime. Please don't construct such obviously poor strawmen. Both men and women suffer similar rates of violence, albeit typically different violence. Trans people suffer a wildly higher rate of violent cr

This is absolutely a wedge to censor LGBTQ+ content. If you can separately argue that adult content should be blocked and LGBTQ+ themes are for adults, then you can block queer content online en masse. Visa and Mastercard have too much powe

The FBI & DEA definitely did an investigation and came to the conclusion that, at a minimum, not all the safeties on the firearm work as designed. https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07&#x2

I probably spoke imprecisely. I meant rushed, which has a similar but different meaning than panicked.

In general the safety rules I was taught were defense in depth -- multiple failures need to happen before someone can get hurt. So, even when you have a holstered firearm, pointing the muzzle away from people is preferable because then if

When you draw from concealment, an experienced shooter needs only get their grip and an eye picture -- point gun at target and fire. You only need to train muscle memory to get into a firing position, which is also what you are regularly tr

This wasn't a case of an idiot, except perhaps placing the muzzle in a direction that a human would be present. The gun was in the holster, and the entire holster was removed from the belt and placed on a desk. There's nothing i

Yes, if you are conceal carrying, having a round chambered is typical. You don't want to have to draw and rack the slide in an emergency. Most modern pistols have multiple internal safeties to prevent firing without a trigger pull.

Everyone I know has been saying, for years , to not carry Sig 320s or their variants. Those things are dangerous. It's tragic it took the death of someone from what (at this point) was an entirely preventable outcome.
