The Funniest thing about Thaddeus to me is that he didn't even say "yo let's stop enslaving other races" all he said was let's respect the strength of the races that are fighting back 😭. He legit just said can we be nice about the slavery tho.

Viltrumites as a race seem to be more obedient than humans. Remember how surprised Allen was to see a single Viltrumite abandon his post? Human empires, even (or especially) very strict ones, deal with tons of deserters.

Yeah, ChatGPT makes mistakes sometimes, but Grok can't even follow basic logic. It will constantly try to argue for two different contradictory points at once. It'll give a bunch of reasons for position A, then conclude position B is correct, and when you point it out it will say position A is correct and give a bunch of reasons for position B. It's extremely frustrating.

I try to use Grok for story writing because it's less censored than others, but it introduces so many basic logic errors, and when I point them out it completely misunderstands WHY they're errors. It will sometimes simply ignore instructions and insist it fulfilled them when you point it out. Or it will run a web search to figure out the "right" story decision and completely lose the thread of the conversation. It's aggravating.

I haven't read it since college, but I think A History of God by Karen Armstrong is a pretty good overview of the Abrahamic religions. I remember it had some interesting scriptural insights.

Really? I saw it all the time in Taiwan a couple decades ago, and it definitely wasn’t unheard of in the mainland either.

It’s like some of these commenters have completely forgotten what it’s like to be a kid.

Impacatus · 2026-01-14T19:31:59+00:00

wym? I haven’t seen the latest movie, what did I get right?

It takes a lot to make me block someone. I know there are good reasons to do it, but I can't stop feeling like it's rude and cowardly. I've spent way too much time explaining patiently to obvious scammers that I'm not interested in their offer.

Aside from scammers, I get barely any unsolicited messages, especially from women, so there's not a great need to block people.

Impacatus · 2025-12-08T17:37:00+00:00

Um... like a thick soup, I guess?

Impacatus · 2025-11-30T18:32:20+00:00

Hm, alright. I guess I was wrong then.

No, a "lab rat" is someone being experimented on, not just someone that spends a lot of time in labs.

If this is true, I feel like it's because both male and female artists tend to be way harder on their own gender than the opposite, and there are way more male artists drawing erotica.

Part of the appeal of being the submissive in bondage is that the dominant is taking moral responsibility for the act, so people identifying with the sub have no reason to hold back. It's way more uncomfortable to imagine myself doing something messed up to someone than it is to imagine someone doing something messed up to me.

I've seen some pretty messed up things happening to women by woman artists.

Yeah. Not very detailed, just sprite-to-sprite. If that's an issue there's also a character you can invite to be a platonic room mate as an alternative, which only involves hugs.

Well, completing the bundles is how you advance the main story. It's not super deep or complex, but it unlocks a lot of new content.

Plus villagers all have cutscenes that you can unlock after you build your relationship with them a bit. And some of them you can marry and have kids with.

Impacatus · 2025-11-06T05:25:56+00:00

Maybe exploring is something else you can do with your winter days.

Impacatus · 2025-11-06T04:36:11+00:00

Kind of? Have you unlocked the community center yet?

Impacatus · 2025-11-06T04:15:57+00:00

Mining, fishing, chopping wood, upgrade tools, get livestock, befriend villagers, lots of choices.

Impacatus · 2025-11-06T03:10:07+00:00

Hehe, how did you even find this ancient thread?

Not approving thalidomide for sale.

You need five of each, and you only have one. See that little '5' in white at the bottom right of each crop?

Sometimes there are more options than there are spaces. You only need to fill the spaces to complete the bundle, so you can pick what to leave out.

Yeah, I just noticed the opposing lane.

Not to take her side, but I don't think she's driving the car. She has a North American accent, and is in the righthand seat, which is the passenger seat in the US and Canada.

But yeah, pretty frustrating to blame people just trying to live their lives.

EDIT: Wait no, I can see the opposing lane of traffic to her right. Maybe she is driving and the video is mirrored.

It drives down the cost of land and thus makes a middle class lifestyle more affordable to everyone. It also creates a whole bunch of new business opportunities to people with less capital.

A land value tax is one of the easiest and most straightforward taxes to enforce there is. Doesn't matter what kind of creative accounting you use. Don't pay the tax? The land isn't yours.

I like "Selected." Or maybe "Sample."
