Wasn’t it because they didn’t have any Will? Their entire drive to do anything was completely enslaved by whoever was controlling them: as long as they were controlled by an evil willpower they’d also be evil.

What do you mean? The sun gets chased away every night, though I think that gets outsourced to Sköll, a wolf.

If they were apologetic about it I wouldn’t be so disappointed.

I mean it was 0.01, at that point he was screwed anyway, and he fixed his program.

Very good point, my bad.

The only other fast way to fight it is with violence, but without clear national unity and already decent leadership it usually results in some form of autocracy, making the situation worse.

Edit: violent revolution* usually doesn’t work, but violence itself can be rather effective

At least the Joker pays his taxes.

One of the reasons I was able to argue my ADHD was impacting my life negatively was the fact I was drinking enough coffee to hurt my health just to feel human and I still had executive dysfunction, so stimulants would be more effective and overall work as harm reduction. Now I’m not even on stimulants (technically), I’m finding bupropion works best for me. I still have a small cup of coffee in the morning, as it keeps me regular.

Maybe Danny Phantom should be more open to the possibility of traumatized ghosts.

I think this is the guy, though it might’ve been a flute, not an ocarina, not sure.

I’ve always preferred IBM’s Plex Mono, specifically the Nerd Fonts version.

At the time this phrase was first referenced, around 1540-ish, a penny would’ve been worth around $3.50 USD. Goddamn Loch Ness monster, always wanting my thoughts.

Yeah it turns out a whole bunch of English words are spelled more like a linguistic history lesson than anything approaching a useful system of phonetics. It might as well be pictographic with letters being helpful hints at this point. I wish there could be spelling reform in the anglosphere, but it’s hard enough to get people to agree within any one of the majority English-speaking countries, let alone between them.

Adjacent to this is either A) info dumping and feeling the other person start zoning out, or (possibly worse) B) info dumping and feeling yourself start zoning out mid-sentence.

I hope we get there soon with RISC-V.

Aviary?

Yes, I tested through 23andMe and then downloaded my genes. Occasionally I compare them to recent studies with https://codegene.eu, which is how I learned a bit about a cholesterol metabolism gene mutation increasing the probability of Alzheimer’s.

My attitude to privacy is probably more complacent than it should be.

I have one allele of the soapy gene variant at rs2741762, and I really like cilantro and coriander. But I also like any weird or different smells, it appears as if I smell everything a little more strongly, and nothing is truly disgusting for me taste-wise (texture though: can’t stand anything that has a vein-like quality). I have ADHD though, and one emergent behavior from that is pursuing the interesting/novel over the good, smells included.

Trump apparently likes his well-done steaks with ketchup.
