That makes sense: it's not a game at all, but a simulation pretending to be one.

Paging hugoblanc, who has a heroic 14334 +1 comments out there: what drives you?

This is a sweet idea and a nice, game-esque implementation. It could definitely use some onboarding. There's nothing to give the "player" a hint as to what they should do. What is my goal? Am I trying to defeat the communic

What’s the counter-narrative? That the sudden, rapid temperature swing only coincidentally happened after the industrial revolution but were somehow going to happen anyway? That the greenhouse effect is a woke myth?

How much of it do they need to spend on healthcare?

Yeah, using quotation marks when paraphrasing is super confusing. Still, paraphrasing what or whom? I guess I'd need to know a working definition for environmental terrorism. I've heard of eco-terrorism before, but that's g

If I search for your quotation — "worst case of environmental terrorism in modern history" — Google only surfaces this thread. Whose assessment were you citing, and what did they actually say?

Regardless of the decision, it's strange that someone used a real person's identity to use as a fictional "customer" in the filing. https://newrepublic.com/article/173987/mysterious-case-fake-..

What's the deal with the "customer" in this case having been fabricated? You can just create fictional customers in court filings now? https://newrepublic.com/article/173987/mysterious-case-fake-...

Is it overtly a hypothetical? My understanding is that the "customer" in the case may have been fabricated. https://newrepublic.com/article/173987/mysterious-case-fake-...

I'm chuffed to be praised with such faint critique.

So much of the world's wealth is already in the wrong hands. What's a little more?

Preferring a euphemism doesn’t make it a different thing.

So affirmative action for children of wealthy alumni, then.

Even under that different defining characteristic, the analogue would be the same modern event: the recording that gives lie to the cover-up narrative that he had used his psychic declassification superpowers.

There's no way that could be Watergate-squared. The defining characteristic of Watergate was the audio tapes, so this has to be a reference to the "Bring some Cokes in, please" recording.

Really? Not the fake elector scheme? Or the attempt to overturn the results of the last election? Or the willful retention of classified documents and the attempts to evade returning them? Any one of those would be better candidates for wat

Yeah, I think the author believes that if he recognizes the trick then it must be the case that pulling-off the trick was easy, and therefore cheap. I went through a phase like that after discovering the TV Tropes wiki and saw all the patt

Alas, it’s too easy judge conviction incorrectly — by mannerisms, posture, swagger, tone of voice, etc. and are misled by well-coached imposters. Worse, many seem to prefer candidates with loads of apparent conviction in terrible things. Ad

OTOH, folk who use confidence & apparent conviction as signifiers of voteworthiness also can’t really know what they’re getting.

You can control the coarseness by rubbing it between your fingers as you apply it. You may have seen video of chefs doing this.

They do, but what they owe differs by what part of the government one is dealing with. You’ll find that, with regards to the military, one thing they do not owe to citizens is real-time, unfettered access to intelligence.

That’s not enough to justify the grinder. Buy a box of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt. It has the perfect texture for keeping in a salter on the counter so it’s easy to grab a pinch.

I'm surprised that desire/ability to raise prices doesn't get a representation in that formula. The consumer isn't the only party with agency, after all.
