We would also have accepted capitalism, avarice, or pathological financial hoarding.

- Comment on Second Page of Posts Failing to Load? 1 week ago:
Just adding to the pile, experiencing the same under the followimg conditions:
- firefox desktop
- firefox mobile
- chrome desktop
- voyager app
I’ve observed this while on and off VPNs, from home and work connections, as well as wired and wireless.
I’m (not really) glad to hear others having issues. This started at the same time I started using mullvad vpn and I was worried I might have some issues to iron out there.
- Comment on ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she walked out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. 2 weeks ago:
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
- Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot
- Be sure of your target and what is behind it
I would say they are not following #2 but I am also pretty sure they are willing to destroy what they’re pointing their weapons at in this situation. cunts

Shadow Labyrinth: A metroidvania set in a very dark timeline for Pac-Man. As a metroidvania it is solid. The traversal and exploration are on par for the genre. The sections where you transform into Pac-Man are a cool new take as a variation of Metroid’s classic ball. The maze levels which most resemble the Pac-Man we’re all familiar with provide quite a challenge. Overall I would put this on the shelf next to some of my other favorite metroidvanias including, but not limited to, Hollow Knight, Sundered, and the Ori games.
-
Tales from the Shire: A cozy sim of living in a Hobbit village. I’m sorry, not-village, as that is the goal of the game: to make your small town an official village. I find the pathfinding mechanics in this game adorable and liken them to the wind in Ghost of Tsushima which acted as your objective guide. In Tales from the Shire you follow little blue birds that perch on nearby trees, rocks, and signposts. Speaking of which, when they’re on a signpost they actually sit on the board pointing in the direction you need to go.
-
Primal Planet: Another metroidvania, this one is a primitive setting where you’re a caveman living with your village when it is attacked. You then track down your missing villagers and rebuild the village while levelling up, gaining new crafting recipes, etc. Nothing groundbreaking in here, but it is still a good pixelated entry in the genre with a nice art style and animation. This game does do a really good job of letting you know when you’re under-levelled for an area…brutally so.

You’re right. The link below is not the only place I’ve seen the quote cited, just the first I found in a hurry.
The host asked Thiel ‘You would prefer the human race to endure, right?’
Thiel hesitated, doing some umm-ing and ahh-ing, even at one point saying ‘I don’t know’.
The billionaire went on to clarify and said: “Yes [I would like us to endure] but I also would like us to radically solve these problems.

Super cool, look forward to seeing the moss spread.

I’ve been tending a volunteer moss garden in my yard for 1.5 years now. I haven’t brought it in for propagation but I do think about it from time to time. Mind sharing your propagation method?
