Sorry, yes: communities

Alternatively, block those magazines. It’s a bit of a hydra, but you too can be relatively Star Trek (and Star Wars!) free

I truly can’t tell if this is a perfect textbook nostupidquestion or someone being disingenuously obtuse.

You seem insightful about that character so I wanna get your take on this too: do you think the guy playing the role of Vader didn’t speak his own lines? Like that’s some kind of clue about who he really? idk, maybe I was just high when I saw the movie, but something seemed off

chooses his closet advisers

Fitting typo

I’m not in disagreement

There’s a comic book based on that:

Too late. It’s that whole thing where it takes ten times the effort to undo misinformation than to introduce it (or however that goes). This narrative is here to stay. Those who try to counter it will just be in the role of the “Well Ackchyually” guy in the conversation

Trump doesn’t need to do much because he’s got a whole team behind him to get things done. He’s just some shitty Trojan horse

I only did a cursory check on Steam, but it indeed still looks like a thing, with some games saying they are “sinden lightgun ready” (which seems to be the main lightgun out on the market currently)

Someone else mentioned VR. It didn’t even occur to me!

That does sound like a lot of fun. VR has been completely off my radar, but I can definitely see your point about it being a successor. Hadn’t even thought of it. What VR system do you use?

I’m lucky to live near an actual old school arcade — Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, Mortal Kombat, and a host of other ones!

Exactly. Words could never convey the absolute unexpectedness of this. Why, even with a so venerable, uncompromised, unflinchingly truth bound institution as the NYT calling attention to this (and in such a timely manner for citizens to digest and make use of the information) I can scarce believe that this development is indeed occurring

The FIFA games from a couple of years ago had an instance of that, with the Japanese spectators seen cleaning up in the stands after a game

I hadn’t either but tbf most people hadn’t heard of the fediverse until that Reddit thing. In this case the entirety of Wikipedia could along with an exodus, should one be warranted

Pretty sure special agents already know how to do this (or is that what a special agent would say?)

That’s pretty good, actually

Were you in any particular transition during that period? Like high school to college or 20s to 30s? I wonder if that worsened the impact for people, if the social isolation happened to time with important life transitions

This is exactly the type of thing I was reflecting on. Have you also found yourself having a lower tolerance for stressors?
