Astroprojection is a dying art and I applaud your service

I’m not sure that anything can objectively be said to ‘matter’. So, yeah, I guess? Things only matter to us because we.care about them, sure…

That seems a little glib to me. Not all stories are lies, not all stories have happy endings, some victors are known now thousands of years after their death. On a cosmic timescale I suppose that, trivially, nothing matters - but, conversely, the cosmic timescale is so vast that it doesn’t matter to us…

Also I couldn’t really parse what you were saying in your second paragraph so I’m gonna leave that there

Yes

Quite a lot happened in the Wire TBF (also I think it’s the strongest of the ones you’ve mentioned, largely for that reason…)

J (technically it’s a whole unique programming language with a learning curve that’s arguably more of a learning cliff, but it’s very heavily geared towards maths and also has some nice graphing modules)

Phenomenal work there

Plenty of my real friends are people I used to work with back before I was married and stopped getting as much out of this sort of culture… There doesn’t need to be some hard line here - just because you work with people doesn’t mean you can’t be friends

Hah. I’m sure once I read the rest of the responses I’ll see the observation that 1 is just a slow route to 2

Children are often shit at it, and have full on screaming meltdowns several times in a few minutes when something doesn’t go immediately their way

Otoh little bastards don’t have a choice so they gotta suck it up

I, too, like to smell my own farts. Perhaps we could exchange scents

Apparently I was thinking of ‘Conflicts in Civilization’, which was just a scenario set for the base Civ II game. Tbh I sucked hard at that game back then but in my defence I was too young to really get good strategy and just enjoyed building wonders

Look, Stallman may be a creep who women have to actively make excuses to avoid, but Torvalds sometimes gets sweary about subjects he’s passionate about in developer threads. Both sides are the same!

I forgot what I was saying. Anyway

Check out the brain on Brad

Think Andrew Wakefield was before that. I wanna say… 2006? 2008? 2020 is just when it started killing even more people

Civ II expansion was peak. I never felt better than the one time I managed to win as humans in the humanity Vs aliens scenario
