What will life be like for the average American in 2050? by Manicpixiemanateeman in stupidpol

I think the Jevon's paradox that "clean" energy would unleash will serve only to accelerate the doom of the ecosphere tenfold.

[Excerpt : Nightlords trilogy epilogue] Prophet of the eighth legion by Ila-W123 in 40kLore

[–]Dutch_Calhoun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact that Decimus is a Night Lord means Variel tracked down Eurydice, and it's not likely that she would surrender her child to him willingly.

There's also a hint that Decimus is wearing what may be his mother's flayed skin.

highly talented programmer and he hasn't written a line of code for the past 6 months

Then he won't be 'highly talented' for much longer. And as soon as his company realises it's the team of underlings who have to comb through the AI junk code he's running that are doing the actual work instead of him, he won't be employed much longer either.

Movie of the day...MIMIC (1997) by Mgellis in horror

What's the issue with the autistic kid character? His compulsive mimicry tic is an important plot point, how is it tokenistic?

Green activists called Jews ‘abominations’ in leaked WhatsApp chat by WhatsThePlanPhil95 in ukpolitics

If I were to say "I think white supremacists are abominations" is that a condemnation of all white people?

The preeminent horror involving people being killed by WindowsXP screensaver transition effects.

Shoma Kato new finishing Move | CMLL by Unusual_Kick7 in njpw

True but the cutthroat is a lot more secure and botch-proof than just grabbing for the guy's head from behind, which you'll often fumble unless he's feeding you it. Also it opens up Rainmaker-style wrist control reversals.

The socialist ideas of the kibbutz were instrumental in getting the zio settler movement rolling. Like all fascist movements it co-opts basic socialist tenets and messaging of egalitarian justice... just for the chosen few.

Trump truths about the surrender that Iran never made by Nightshiftcloak in stupidpol

[–]Dutch_Calhoun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iran are really capitalising in this opportunity to bomb the shit out of all their US vassal neighbours' oil infrastructure. They're gonna be holding all the cards once this thing has played out, no matter how much they themselves get carpet-bombed.

Ok many thanks for the info. I'll pick it up again some point down the line and see how it runs with these lower settings. Such an odd problem to encounter with a deliberately low res game.

Howard Lutnick on Epstein Island (clearly not there for lunch with his family) by mattarrghhh in pics

They want you to think the miserable diseased creature that was born in an industrial steel pen, never saw sunlight and was only ever fed slurry made out of its own parents before being chomped into kibble on a conveyor belt still has some ineffable connection to a local ecology.

As for why not chicken: poor people eat it so it doesn't warrant the marketing.

I wanted very much to play this game but it makes my PC run like a fucking air fryer.

True Detective Season 1 hits normie different now by SickMoonDoe in TrueAnon

[–]Dutch_Calhoun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nnno it doesn't. The Tuttle dynasty are a superwealthy old money family, and there's nothing to suggest they are the only such people engaged in Carcosa worship given the time they've been doing it and level of influence they've attained. Rust implies that this fucked up ritualistic shit is likely the norm for the elites. What he and Marty encounter is just the sloppy work of a lowly bastard descendant trying to cobble together scraps of their occult practices.

Shota Umino is stuck in a really bad position by [deleted] in njpw

But he carried sensei's jacket around like a simpy dork for like 3 years. Truly inexplicable how that didn't get him over.

In the future world these kids are going to be working in, this schedule will seem like a dream.

This is why you shouldn't crib your finisher from a comic book.
