Sure, it’s one study.

I could go on, this is hardly an area lacking in research.

They don’t make a move in each game at the same time though, the moves are still made separately and sequentially. Almost like they are alternating between tasks…

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
These things that you cherish, would you still cherish them if you knew you could have them forever and never lose them? Or would they just become permanent things you get used to being there?

Happiness is only possible thanks to the sadness that contrasts it - without the suffering, is there really pleasure?

The way I look at it, life and death cannot be seperate things because one implies the other. Death has as much meaning and beauty as say, the fact that it rains - its something that happens, no more and no less.

Buddha teaches that the self, the ego, is merely an illusion - a very fun one, it’s true, but an illusion regardless. It’s the ego that attaches judgement to things, and this attachment is what leads to suffering. Someone who greatly cherishes life is therefore likely to fear death, and suffer because of it. The man who seeks happiness is forever disappointed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Can a common mundane thing not still possess some beauty? And even in having beauty or not, must we judge it to be good or bad?

I’m not trying to do anything except talk shit on the internet. But yes, absolutely! It can be a coping mechanism, and there are definitely people who try to live to the fullest in the hopes that if they do it enough they’ll be able to forget their own impermanence.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Also to respond to your example - yeah, I reckon seeing civilization repeating the same dumb patterns every hundred years would get boring fast. “Oh, facism is on the rise again, better grab the popcorn”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Funny, what you wrote sounds to me like a coping mechanism in itself haha.

Which is cool, like 90% of what we humans do is in some way a coping mechanism for our own mortality. We are all still going to die though, accept it or rage against it, it makes no difference in the end.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Man imagine how fucking boring it’d be after only a few hundred years.

Everything ends, and if it didn’t the thing in question would lose all value.

You sit awake scared of the nothingness of death, do you ever contemplate the nothingness before life? You are what the universe is doing in the here and now, like the crest of a wave in the ocean. The oceans waves, while the universe ‘peoples’.

Then the change is working as intended - residential buildings should never have been pulled from the rental market to compete with hotels.

You know what isnt a hot take? Think how much pollution the event generated, how much greenhouse gases.

Seems worth it for a party lol.

Rockets mostly use hydrogen as fuel, burning wood is way more polluting than burning hydrogren.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m telling what the word means.

Communism has been implemented maybe a handful of times and each and every time it has been crushed by authoritarians.

The USSR was not communist. The CCP is not communist. Both are/were authoritarian. Socialist to some degree, sure, but not communist by any definition of the word.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The guy is probably confusing authoritarian for facism - the few posts I’ve seen from hexbear members (that stand out anyway) were genocide denial (china/uyghur) or were downplaying the atrocities committed by the USSR because "they weren’t as bad as insert whataboutism here’.
