Highly recommend it, Tina Fey is an icon. Just beware that you’ll be quoting her character more often than you’ll notice yourself.

Can’t change the past, only decide what to do in the future. I agree that it should have been done straight away but perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, going back to check up on it is better than not doing anything.

You mean something like this?

Are you always this angry? Doesn’t it get exhausting?

Does that include sleeping consistently at least 8 hours a night for at least a few weeks straight? In my experience, sleeping long after not getting enough sleep makes you feel even more tired the first few days.

How much sleep do you get? I’ve found that getting 8 hours of sleep and then getting up immediately when the alarm rings is the best way for me to get started in the day; waiting too long with getting up, getting dressed, or getting started just makes me more drowsy and adds mental inertia.

Naturally we’re all individuals, so what works for me may not be right for someone else.

Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.

How do you make it work? I’ve been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.

If you encounter a black bear, make yourself big and threatening. If attacked, fight back.

If you encounter a brown bear, stay facing it but avoid eye contact and back away slowly. If attacked, play dead.

If you encounter a polar bear, pray for a quick death.

Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy.

Yes, and a force acting in the opposite direction of the distance is an attractive force.

But those are the same thing.

If they are oppositely charged particles, I would expect that there is a force of attraction acting on them, yes.

What’s the alternative here? Only letting big companies without any ethical regards rent housing?

Sure, there’s a good argument to be made that housing is essential to survive and as such should be provided by the government, but that’s not the world we live in. In this society, it’s likely someone is going to have to rent it out and I’d rather it be a person who actually gives a shit and can be held responsible rather than some faceless corporation.

Yes, but the prerequisite is kind of that they will wreck the west (which is the main region keeping English as the lingua franca) but not the other regions when the west is likely going to be less impacted by a lot of issues than other parts of the world, for example just due to geography.

The thing is, we can’t exactly go by history since we’ve never been as interconnected as we are now. Intercontinental travel could potentially be seen as “just” a huge step up in transportation compared to the past but the internet has fundamentally changed how we communicate. When it comes to technology and science, English is the de facto standard and it’s gonna take something pretty huge to disrupt that.

Why would the lingua franca change again? No type of Chinese, Indian, nor any African language has even remotely the same spread as English does. I’d wager some proficiency in English exist in a sizeable part of the population in almost every country on earth, same can’t be said for most other languages (if any).

How do you know they don’t have a dick filter?

You can put in an alt text between the brackets (which I believe is used by screen readers for those with visual impairments).
