“and people want to be good.” I’d even push back on this a bit. Many people do not actually care about being good. A small but significant minority are psychopaths. But more likely, too your last point, lots of people have a distorted sense

The article doesn’t seem to indicate who is behind the attack. Russians? The Chinese? North Koreans? Rogue Norwegians with tacit approval from their government? Canary Island separatists? Who, dammit?

I… what? Lead deficient? I know some people are iron deficient, but I have never heard of iron poisoning or suffering from lead deficiency.

Actually successfully pulling prints(and getting more than smudgy partials) and then translating those lifted prints into something useable is somewhat time consuming and is not a trivial skill. Like most security measures, biometrics are t

I don’t like either party’s claim. Many AI owners are lazy, shilling their hallucinating calculators while pretending they are thinking persons. It’s anti-scientific and it’s dumb. At the same time, copyright law is a heap of patchwork nons

lol Kotaku carrying water for Bethesda’s ineptitude. Starfield, while not completely horrible, has had the cultural impact of a fart in the wind.

Yeah this seems like pseudo-Freudian claptrap. People soothe their pain and trauma with all sorts of self-destructive behavior. Trying to numb the pain doesn’t mean they are trying to crawl back in the womb.

What. That isn’t the role of the military. This is like complaining that the local police failed to prevent your company from downsizing. Plenty to criticize about how or what the military is doing, but this ain’t it, chief.

So… we aren’t being spied on because the guy complaining about the spying is right wing? Not trying to be obtuse here, but what is the argument?

As an American, I can understand the European internet user’s chagrin at our seeming total cultural ubiquity. It seems like almost every piece of media is about American concerns unless explicitly stated otherwise.

There’s lies, damned lies, and statistics quoted by AI. Average ancient life expectancy numbers are substantially lowered due to high infant mortality. Once this early danger had passed, most people lived to approximately the same age we do

If anime is to be believed, just about anything from vampires to dragons to inanimate objects can be represented by cute girls.

You act like this is just city level. That would still be a relatively easy fix. But federal organizations like the FBI routinely benefit from asset forfeiture. People traveling with large amounts of cash for any reason are a common target.

I agree that only an overwhelmingly powerful state apparatus could tear people away from their fast food and cat videos. And cars. And heat. ‘You will own nothing and you will be happy. For the good of the planet, of course.’

Sounds like a lot of steps and paperwork… steps and paperwork that might easily and regularly get fudged.

I mean, they also gave us the Dred Scott ruling too. The courts sometimes make the exact wrong ruling.

I mean… American young men are increasingly failing in education and getting poorer and more mentally ill. It doesn’t seem like a hard sell to me.

Sinophobic? You just sound like a tankie or a shill. The Chinese government is a cartel that actively trade in the stolen organs of their own citizenry. The US may have completely squandered its global hegemony entering into useless wars, b

I feel like I’m the coming years the organ harvesting business will only grow and spread as the population ages and the need for replacements grows.

Seems like you are overly concerned with the devil you know while ignoring the threat of the devil you don’t. If you think the US government isn’t your friend, well… you are right. But if you are an American, the PRC is your enemy. They ac

It’s fun, but some of the Civilization deaths are kinda dopey. I mean, sure, a Gamma ray burst from a local supernova is gonna wipe ‘em out, fine. But an old culture that has mastered metallurgy dies because of an out of control cooking fir

If what you consider evil is standing in the way of Marxist utopia, well bud, I think you have your moral heuristic exactly, murderously wrong.

Evil absolutely exists. Pretending it doesn’t is a device of people who have some vested interest in ignoring it, or people who are so limited by their own comfortable experience that they have never been confronted by it. I have been readi

Can’t believe they just straight-up have ‘Anubis’ as one of the monsters. I hope the Egyptian pantheon sues them into the ground. /s
