The correct answer, as they say, is always in the comments

This is our innate state, IMO. We are social, creative people. The impulse to help and participate comes first and then is warped by our societal structure where everything gets monetized. I follow the Skyrim mod scene just for that hit of seeing this generosity at play

I throw a tsp into a smoothie, along with a tsp of powdered up oats. Let rest in the fridge for a quarter of an hour, now it's a pudding

Dang. Take the hint, Terminator

Wow, yeah that headline gave me that nausea of despair feeling

Man I hope "unlived" only gets used ironically, if not also with a decent dose of snark

Yup. Made some points I hadn't considered yet, like a few companies locking in a monopoly

Ah, missed the part about it being the dark side. Just saw the pretty image

How representative is this to what it would like to the human eye?

Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

Oh, nothing about our culture would permit someone to do that. I don't expect him to. It's just a nice fantasy

How can they vote for him if he's not on the ballot?

Not only switch candidates, but have Biden have the humility to back that person. Do it in the name of Democracy, you know: this election is too important and I realize we need a stronger candidate than I can be. That would sell well, and that's what's needed for better or worse: a good narrative

As many others are commenting that's, unfortunately, not the concern here. It's theater, and he bombed and his lapses will be broadcast ad nauseum to drive that impression to the impressionable

Or he could step down with dignity and back his replacement candidate. Seems like that would help sway voters in the Democrats favor

As far as effort? You're right

You start learning it in day care depending on the region

I'm with you on the fact that incredible music is still being made. It's not that hard to find, either. Bandcamp collates music on blogs for all types of taste, for instance. And there's all kinds of ways to play off what we already know we like to gradually discover new artists - and expand our tastes.

It's weird to me that people settle on a certain collection of music and then just stop. It's even odder when they then complain that nothing else is as good.

What do you find is the advantage of these over a mouse?

How do they rate on trainability and intelligence vs cats and dogs?
