It seems to me that USA has progressed into having normal people problems instead of just minority problems. That said, I had an opportunity to go to a major conference it Vegas, fully paid by my employer in 2024 but I said to myself “fuck that”.
I played a lot of Elite, and tried No Man’s Sky recently. I get why somebody might like it, perhaps even more. It’s more fun. But perhaps a bit too “colorful” for me. I enjoyed the realistic touch of Elite.
But I cannot tell myself that yet another grind is what I need in my life.

I don’t know about you, but the amount of self-control I have varies hugely during a typical month. So when I have more self-control, I can choose to help myself during the times when I have less.
Yes, I think so. There’s are interesting large scale trends in the book’s world, and even though the protagonists are powerful beings, they’re forced to mostly just witness and react to the events. The characters are deep and interesting and the overall plot is rewarding.
I didn’t like Witcher 3. I played the main storyline to Skellige and after a while of adventuring there, I just could not bring myself to continue the game.
I’ve read all the books, perhaps that has something to do with it.
They’d need to do some pretty fucking advanced hackery to be able to do surveillance on you just via the model. Everything’s possible I guess, but … yeah perhaps not.
If they could do that, essentially nothing you do on your computer would be safe.
There’s a marked difference between being the only non-anonymous person in a group of anonymous people and being a non-anonymous person in a group of other non-anonymous people.
In other words, no way am I even pretending to be that brave.
Perhaps a) social media should not be anonymous and b) death threats should be illegal. I know I’m stating super obvious things here but given how this is still a thing…

Nowadays I would just laugh at the idea.
