  That intro with the lightning was hype to my little 8 year old brain.

  Honorable mention to the Elegy track from Firefall. That game deserved a lot better than it got.

  There’s a great story of how a Polish naval officer in WW2, after exchanging names with a young lady, declared: Enoff off thees loff-making! Let’s FOCK!

  Damn good sailors too, according to some contemporary sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So here’s how I liken education. I’ve been an instructor at the Naval Engineering School so have a bit of experience in the subject.

  First thing to learn is “facts” by rote memorization and then parrot it back. If you can do that you have learned something which is not unimportant and is an important base for the next step.

  Then you learn how to apply those facts to help you in a specific set of situations. This is a very small hop above the previous step, but an important one, as now you know how to solve a narrow set of problems in a specific set of circumstances.

  Unfortunately, this is where a lot of education ends because this is the easiest level to test. To go beyond this, you as an instructor must inspire the students.

  The third level is when you take the facts you know and the situations to apply them and start modifying them to fit new novel situations. This now requires active thinking on the part of the student and will likely result in a lot of mistakes and suffering but this is where the instructor can gently guide them along and nurture their curiosity and keep their spirits up when they fail.

  Next level is an important one, when the student starts to ask, “why does this work this way in this situation and this way in this situation”? That is the start of true wisdom.

  And the final level of education is when you go back and try to teach the subject. That is when you truly open yourself up to learning.

  Generally when someone is shot, they are indeed targeted. I know the concept of aiming is somewhat anathema to you Americans, but it is often much more effective than your usual approach to firearms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meowposting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if this is a German fairy tale, let me finish it: then the cat clawed the face off the small child that was supposed to be churning the butter and then ate their intestines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a Canadian, I would very much like some sort of barrier between my country and the United States. We’ve got our own brand of crazy up here and have absolutely no need to import any junk from the USA.
