This is ICE, so it is unlikely there’s anything internal.

At the time: Asheron’s Call.

A few years on: Natural Selection and this one custom map in WC3.

Neat! I am on about year 15. What brought you to challenge yourself to pick it back up? Like, anything in particular or was it a slow burn?

compete (…) in the global AI contest

Depending on the metric they may be right. The free market model may be able to outcompete in producing useless garbage.

Outside of AI? I think there’s hardly any contest remaining.

The whole idea is the erosion of institutions. Oligarchs need the government to be ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent. Destroying public service and replacing with private markets is one of the few areas of extraction left.

An ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent government makes the unregulated company town run and the factories with slave labor seem better in comparison. They’re still worse, but that’ll change with enough anti-government in the government.

I’m pretty sure the Jansport was standard issue, cool or not.

His face fits like a glove. A loose, cracked, glove.

A short campaign was likely a benefit, quite frankly, considering how badly it was run.

That’s right. Bend the knee.

Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.

Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.

Seems like limiting their access to US weaponry isnt going to curb their attacks, just make them even less discriminate.

There have been constant events of children being gunned down in a breadline. Journalists have been routinely being sniped. Surrendering hostages waving white flags have been killed. I am not sure there’s a whole lot ‘less’ discrimination there.

You don’t want no part of this shit!

It has everything to do with how you used ‘run’ to describe it. Trump is a necessary figurehead and lightning rod of controversy that strengthens the oligarchy.

A large portion of my career has been in septic systems and wastewater management actually.

It would be nice if bidets were more widespread, but fats, oils, greases, and unflushable materials like qtips, sanitary pads, condoms, and ‘flushable’ wipes are the primary concern for sanitary sewers and on-site septic systems alike.

Toilet paper is fine. But yes, I can attest from professional experience if you and your neighbors do not have plumbed water or you’re using privies or holding tanks, limiting toilet paper usage can be beneficial.

Yep. It’s the only real option in my opinion. My spouse’s student loans weren’t fixed and they’d fluctuate so much in payments and started accruing balance randomly. Our homeownership allowed us to leverage another fixed loan to pay off her variable loans. Now it’s just a steady small payment for 15 years.

That’s also looking at just pure numbers.

I was forced to move every year I was a tenant. I hated it. And the fees and expenses of moving weren’t insignificant, not to mention the time. Some places I lived I never unpacked.

But now I have kids. Things like school districts matter.

Stability matters beyond the strict dollar amount sometimes, if not most times.

Toilet paper is fine.

I did the math. I bought in 2019 and all those costs and expenses were nothing compared to ballooning rent. My monthly housing expenses went down across the board. The equivalent cost of rent since purchasing dwarfs closing costs and even all the maintenance that’s gone into the place. Rent (in America) is calculated to cover all possible homeownership costs so I’m paying for the new fridge or hot water heater one way or another.

Plus I haven’t had to move legislative districts since.
