well, some of the bulbs probably survived, at least

You know Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, right? How early roman christians viewed and treated Jewish people is reasonable context to include in a conversation about the history.

When I was on facebook back then, I would see boomers making posts talking about the 1950s in the same way.

Life has a tendency to spread when new environments are available, yes.

But beyond this planet, there are no other environments. You might say the rest of the universe is antivironment. There is a wide range of possible conditions, of radiation and tempurature, gravity and molecular composition. Life requires a very very narrow and specific set of those conditions to continue.

Going from one continent to another, within the same atmosphere, with the same underlying set of conditions, is not all that much of a change. Actually leaving the planet? Permanently? And without just dying in the attempt? That would require a level of organization, long term planning (like, centuries long term), and resource management that we as a species have yet to demonstrate.

In Qatar's defense, last time Trump was in office Jared Kushner went to the Qatar embassy, trying to get them to buy some real estate off him. They mistook it for a genuine business deal and declined, so Kushner complained to Trump, who sanctioned them for it. The sanctions lasted until Biden took office. Apparently, someone in Qatar's government said if they had realized it was shakedown, they would have just payed.

Easier to run counterfactuals and re-litigate the past than to actually address the current strategy the Democrats are adopting, isn't it?

If you want an answer: Kamala would have been better domestically, though like the Obama and Biden administrations before her, she likely would have further expanded ICE; still leaving its abuses available for whenever the next Republican administration took office.

And she wouldn't break with the Republican-Democrat foreign policy consensus. Maybe she would have been better at forcing Israel into a ceasefire... though, Harris was already part of the Biden admin, so there is clearly some level of complicity in genocide she finds tolerable.

Settling mars is a centuries long undertaking. You basically have to nurture a whole ecosystem from scratch... that would be a brutally difficult and lengthy process in the best of conditions. But of course, these aren't the best conditions. We aren't doing particularly well with the ecosystem we've already got.

If you want a historical project, then look to balancing modern industry within the planet's biosphere. It's a prerequisite to anything happening on mars.

Well, the democrats enamored themselves to the public so hard, they lost every swing state and the popular vote went to a republican for the first time in the 21st century.

Don't worry, though, I hear they have a bold new strategy! They're gonna try chasing "moderate" republican voters and giving up on abortion rights.

"Unproven Track Record"

meanwhile the proven track record is full of stuff like voting to invade Afghanistan and renewing the PATRIOT act

Starmer seems to think AI is gonna make all the Torry policies he's continuing actually work. Hard to predict anything, but if nothing happens between now and the AI bubble bursting, then I think the resulting market crash will be what finally gives him the boot.

Hey, so when moving through the main menu, I get all kind of weird artifacts and flickering. It almost looks like its randomly displaying textures and image files from the game? Too fast to get a screenshot of it. For a second, I swear it had overlaid the sprite-sheet for the needle rather than the arrows for the menu selection. Doesn't happen anywhere else in game, only the main menu.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this? Is it unique to running the game through proton?

 

"Let's just get this over with."

A story about a girl named Aika who, you guessed it, doesn’t want to be a magical girl! She’s fallen out of love with her work over time but gets the job done regardless. Will she be able to reignite her passion with the help of her magical sidekick, Hoshi and her new best friend Zira? Or will those pesky evildoers, Eclipse and Lady DeVoid continue to keep her down? Who knows!!!

This project started off as me wanting to just make a new portfolio piece but turned into something much more with the help of my friends. Hope you enjoy~
