Yes, not just creativity but actual humour and experimentation! Not to mention taste.

Wow I remember when this came out. Finding the different clues on the ground was pretty amazing back then. I played that PC Gamer demo over and over and over.

Mark Carney as leader could do the trick, but I don't know if he has the charisma to pull it off.

I'm saying the reason there isn't any pushback is because the whole system is working as "winner-take-all," hence pushing back on ANYTHING that Donald Trump does, when there is no other Republican who can challenge him f

It's a mess, but it feels alien, which is what you want with sci-fi and especially Dune.

Lynch hated Dune because DeLaurentis meddled with it so hard (Jodorowsky famously said they only way Lynch could have made a movie so bad, is if the producers ruined it).

This is pretty hand-wavy. I was diagnosed with a rare disorder. My doctors said surgery was the only option and that it would be fine after. As it turns out, there's a radiation therapy that is 80% successful, been practiced around the

The US is a paragon of (domestic) democracy and (domestic) human rights next to China, and I say that as a HARSH critic of the West.

There'a a whole generation of Canadians who won't send a single dollar anywhere near the US thanks to Trump. I don't think we'll ever forget this.

The whole issue with the idea that "Trump is destroying democracy," isn't that what Trump is doing is NOT damaging to democracy, or corrupt, or what have you. It is. But Trump will be gone in 4 years. There will be a new Repu

It's the traditional spelling. You'll see it in the British Isles, and on some old buildings here in Canada.

Ive been really struggling to make sense of what is true or not. There are so many therapists who treat The Body keeps the Score and stuff like Polyvagal theory as pure science or fact. How is it that they can continue to push this stuff wh

Can your phone or your car remove you from real life? Are you required, by definition, to use a car or a phone to talk to people, in real life?

Good point!

You know what they say about assumptions! I have no cell phone and dont own a car. I dont need either and truly feel pity for those who do, realistically or otherwise, feel they need one. Im not interested in playing a fatalistic game of ra

I would suggest the opposite (inverse?): anything is acceptable to Nick Fuentes as long as it increases his chances of getting laid.

Thankfully Hacker News isn't interested in hijacking my brain or addicting me or making money off of me. Yet it still does hijack my brain; oddly enough the only real way to steer clear of this, is to steer clear of Hacker News.

That's a totally false dichotomy and indicative of the attitude I'm talking about. You can have a social circle that isn't subject to surveillance (let alone control) by the corporation that owns the platform you are speaking

No it has not! It is very scary. I have family members that grew up not caring anything about technology, never owning a computer, being indifferent and criticizing the younger generation for being so tech-addicted. Now they bring their ipa

And the internet hijacks our brains so effectively; since it became ubiquitous, it is almost impossible for regular users to see how they are being conditioned.

by throaway89 2y ago
And is also an incel...hard for me to imagine someone that Trump would despise more than a guy who can't get laid.

Things like this is why I've been telling (less tech-savvy) friends to get off the internet for 5+ years now. There is just no way to stay clear of corporate control for the average person, regardless of your political opinions.

That's a good point, but the Gaza protesters would of course counter that they were slapped down (for stupid reasons) and the war in Gaza (which is illegal and genocidal, though initially provoked by Hamas) continues to be supported. S
