I don’t know much about this scene. How is this different than an emulator? You still need a ROM I believe.

Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

It reminds me, or vice versa, of the Culture series. It’s a universe that’s so post scarcity it makes Star Trek look a bit mercantile.

One of the most coveted and sought after things in The Culture are jobs. Because AI Minds do pretty much all the necessary labor, only jobs that organic brains and bodies are required for still exist and they are seen as prestigious. Everyone has everything they could desire and the only thing left to work for is purpose.

Caveman absolutely proud of you. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was closer to how most animals live: most of their lives are spent resting. Periods of hunting take up a lot of energy and most animals spend most of the waking hours conserving energy. Humans weren’t that much of an exception.

A descendant who rests the majority of their lives is living the dream. Especially when pretty much all prehistory threats are eliminated: predators, neighboring tribes killing you (for most of us anyways…), starvation, prevalent disease, infant mortality, extreme seasons, etc.

Contrast that to the founding father’s age in America: those rich assholes hated and feared the working class. They had incredible animosity directed at any non-owner class people. They even created a nation and had the gall to say “every man is created equal” and then most states denied voting rights to non-landowners, non-men, non-white people, and often based on age and religion. It could be as low when the Constitution was ratified as 20-25%. So it’s safe to say the white-haired ancestor would find the average person’s lack of hard work and life of some leisure a good thing, in general those asshats were closer to modern billionaires.

Based on Realm of Fear, you are conscious throughout the whole transport, and it shows that you maintain your existence.

Is that the only episode where that is mentioned? Because there have been a lot of transporter accidents that copy, clone+alter, combine, etc, transporter victims.

So it’s no longer a non profit and the non profit loses tax breaks, right?

“The world today” but it’s the fucking death star.

If there isn’t DHCP and you device isn’t set for a static IP, would it even connect?

Excellent. Was looking forward to trying that.

Lame. Sounds like they made it useless. Maybe it’ll be ok for weak enemies but so is everything.

Is the first Rolling Sparks change just removing that bug where you free aim it at the ground to cause it to deal all it’s damage at once?

Also unsure what the second Sparks change is about.

RIP bloodfiend’s. Heard it was really good.

I want to get used to the pads. I have a deck and never use them. Was there a game that helped you get used to the pads?

They are also allowed happiness, but only vindictive happiness at another’s expense.

Not got much takeout lately have you? That’s not expensive for a meal.

Do colleges allow you to use laptops and phones during math finals?

I checked at my local place: $1.75 per topping. Much more reasonable.

Checked my local good pizza place. Made same pizza, the one you did but med instead. Local place was only $2 more: $17.50 vs $16.

It’s pretty much the same to order delivery from local or nicer places these days rather than the big chains.

$4 per topping is insane. Pre sliced meats and veggies sitting in a bucket.

Pizza with extra sausage. Hand tossed.

I mean who doesn’t have a gay room these days?
