I'm pretty confident Half-Life 3 is not going to be announced this week

comforting thought for all those billionaires who don't love money and have no desire for wealth they're just rich by accident

this stuff kinda hits close to me tbh Rebecca Heineman's wife died last year after suffering from Guillain–Barré syndrome during my extended hospital stay there was a neurologist who thought I had Guillain–Barre and urged immediate tests to check I didn't, but it sure was a scary night

Anyone wondering why people are mourning the loss of Rebecca Heineman should watch this video from @stopskeletons.bsky.social. This is just a footnote in her extensive career, but it's what made me follow and donate to her cancer fund. We lost a legend today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxF1...

RIP Rebecca Heineman

Silksong sounds like a game you can't play with family around

a real philosopher is a hater of all platitudes, the complicator of all problems, the historicizer of every firm truth

my dad today: "you know what they say, the winners write history" me: thinking of all the historians I've read who debunk this platitude but it's impossible to explain this in a few pithy sentences it's a hard life

When Lysenko wrote that, "any science is class-oriented by nature," Stalin wrote in the margins: "HA-HA-HA! And what about Mathematics? And about Darwinism?" underrated Stalin moment

"In 1929, he [Ilya Ivanov] attempted to organize a set of experiments involving nonhuman ape sperm and human volunteers, but was delayed by the death of his last orangutan. The next year, he fell under political criticism from the Soviet government and was sentenced to exile..." thank you sov. gov

Stephen Jay Gould is scaring me I assumed this was impossible but now I don't even know

"And leftists have been slow to produce any mainstream criticism of Big Tech companies, which pushed us into an accelerated state of post-literacy after making a commodity and business out of attention." 🤣

what a completely wretched article to publish in the current year of our lord I'm almost impressed, as a former-and-recovered /lit/ poster

i think a way more relevant wild speculation is that women are understandably way less inclined to trust men in the present political climate

need to hang out in discords with less professors and students I feel alienated from that life lol

if you can clean your room, you can install a different OS it's not that bad

one day, maybe soon, the FreeBSD crowd will be considered the real nerds

we must get to the bottom of this

WinRAR followed me, how did they know I watched some videos on winrar yesterday

the best argument in favor of Immanuel Kant is that Ayn Rand thought he was the destroyer of philosophy and the ultimate villain

I shouldn’t have to hear the voices of elon musk, Altman, luckey, or alex karp nor should they have any money or any say over the running over our society, they should be bleeding to death in a public place where people only stop to kick or spit on them tbh

post your country's dubbed anime openings the more painful, the better

Rosa Luxemburg wrote a text about this, it's time to stop being embarrassed about our goals

was this the only controller to have a dong

Okay, since Google will NOT take "No I don't want AI assistance" for an answer and keeps "suggesting" AI mode in a popup regularly no matter now many times I say no, I've officially abandoned Google search. Using Mojeek for now, but open to suggestions!

found this stuff while throwing away some ancient boxes

under socialism we could have bags of chips that don't make a constant racket as a form of psychological manipulation

🖥️ The Fertile Crescent (2022) Linux/Win/Mac RTS set in the Ancient Near East. Developed by Wield Interactive. If, like me, you have a strong fondness for the original Age of Empires, this is right up your alley. Appropriate for the time and place, stockpiling food is the most important mechanic.

When Milton's Satan falls from heaven, he ends in hell. And what does he say to reassure himself? 'Here, at least, we shall be free.' And that, I think, is the fate of the old-fashioned liberal. He's going to be free, but he's going to find himself in hell. — B. F. Skinner

I sure hope people will boycott Rockstar Games because of union busting, if they are willing to call for boycotts of bigoted developers

the one sad thing about the cultural death of the Potterverse is that I can't nerd out over indepth pieces of fanfiction like The Arithmancer and Kaleidoscopic Grangers, and I am absolutely sure a certain sort of person would get obsessed with them

Idk why it took me almost a year to write my opinion on E.T. The Extra Terrestrial where I say that only Spielberg and his crew can make such an amazing film of an overdone sentimental story but here it is boxd.it/bBWysv

today I learned nobody can find a real source for this quote it was seemingly popularized by the conservative pundit George F. Will, who sources it to another book that doesn't give a reference it's most likely made up

I don't support the Renegade Kautsky but it's very entertaining to see the bipartisan hatred of the communist mayor

Hail the 1000 year history of communism

they are doing it on purpose because you are a communist and there's nothing worse to these people than having passionate political commitments

I will let people lib out for 1 night. Tomorrow excise it like a tumor
