Stuff only burns for so long. We might learn more about the geometry of space and that there is more out there at greater distances where maybe even other Big bangs are possible but there is a certain maximum amount of time that a star can exist.
Over the time scales of the life of a proton the maximum variability in the amount of time a star can burn is a rounding error against the scale of numbers needed to express the amount of time it takes for hawking radiation to reduce black holes to ultra long wavelengths of infrared radiation.
Harping on rimworld, One of the most moddable games ever made, for the creator not understanding the depths of human sexuality is a little obtuse to say the least.
There are a lot of things that people won't understand and there are so many mods to resolve this it seems silly to expect the creator to "get it".
I've been around gay and trans people my entire life but I still don't think that I fully understand human sexuality or our cultural relationships with gender norms.
Undoubtedly if I were to architect something like Rimworld I would get it wrong but I hope I would have the foresight to leave an amendment process so that it could be modded into fitting with people's understanding in the future.
Putting a million people in space would require ten of thousand of launches if they were Boeing 737s carrying the people.
Housing a million people in space would require technology that won't exist in 20 years let alone in time to have it built in 20 years.
This kind of shit is just so fucking stupid.
It takes them 2 years to build an Amazon warehouse in fucking Michigan. We're supposed to believe they're going to build space stations to support a million people in 20 years?
Basically they do extremely accurate renderings and explanations of what went wrong in different industrial accidents. There is no vamping for time or exaggeration. It's 100% legit and it's awesome and terrible.
There are so many more options there and it's already a war crime simulator. I have whole prisons of captured raiders that couldn't be described accurately if Harlan Ellison and Upton Sinclair collaborated with Lovecraft to invent the most terrible grinder of misery while they freebased paranoia from the hollowed out skull of Caligula.
The creator (Tynan) already inserts his own character among many Kickstarter donors to face the barely imaginable horrors I cook up in my misery science research facility, I can probably be more creative for people that actually deserve it.
Yea he really made this bed for himself, so I won't waste tears when he is forced to pay down in it.
It should also be a wakeup call for liberals in government that you can't expect this president to respect laws or order but given how eager our Good boy Chuck is to get a pat on the head, I don't think any of them are going to learn any lessons.
Yes. I am often an apologist for incomplete but well intentioned reasoning I encounter in the wild.
I try to first understand before I criticize and that has helped me to interpret other people's words better.
An apology is not a bad thing or a good thing. It is a thing.
There are plenty of apologies that could be delivered that would meet those criteria and also be really mean things to say that do not make someone feel better.
I bought this game and it came with a poster that had the epoch on it.
When my father saw me flying around in the airship he asked if this was a war game or like galaga and I explained to him that it was my time traveling airship and its name was epoch.
He taught me what the word meant and decided this game was a-okay.
We should let the Democratic party choose a person through a primary to run for president and then allow that person to run for president.
If a woman makes it through that process on her own merits then the party will probably vote for her.
If on the other hand a woman is selected because she's a woman who will cooperate with the donors and they decide to skip that process or subvert it in some way then you probably won't win.
I agree with what you're saying, and I should have been more clear.
I'm not saying you have to send them money, but if you do let money leave your wallet, we should be trying to make sure it gets to a deserving party.
I think in general, we should avoid giving money to extractive industries that don't add value and I'm encouraging you to error on the side of sending that money directly to the artist/laborers and cutting out literally everybody else.
I agree with you in that no one needs to be sending money to Metallica.
If you send the artist money in the form of a check or a donation more of that money goes to the person who produces the thing.
It's not possible to reach 100%, but every little bit of your dollar you ensure enters the pocket of a person who worked for a living is one less bit of that dollar that ends up in the hands of a leech or a parasite.
Giving Spotify or Google or Apple or whoever has inserted themselves into the system to absorb money for something that they don't pay for is fundamentally not healthy for any part of the ecosystem of art.
