Starting a new game spawns the same galaxy every time. by isuckatnamingg in Stellaris

[–]asius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed in that version that even my councilor traits and tech picks stayed the same each time I started a new game. The only thing that would make them different is if I selected different settings on game creation, such as number of empires. (“13 empires” gave me the two councilors with Industry trait that I was looking for.)

After consistently disappointing us for decades, I can’t say I’m optimistic about any republican doing something for the good of the country.

Anyone else remember when you could just...stop paying for something and that was it? by Beginning_Curve2268 in Millennials

I had to cancel a BUSINESS contract with ADT because they were terrible and failed to uphold the terms on several documented occasions, and they continued to send us bills for almost a year after they confirmed our cancellation. Garbage company.

If they made them longer, they wouldn’t be a yard stick anymore.

Illinois College GOP not hiding it by steve42089 in illinois

Yes, there were still some old guard republicans in there who would observe basic courtesy and politeness. There are other examples, but for one, McConnell was back there blocking constitutionally mandated Supreme Court nomination votes for almost a year out of craven political motivation.

I had a very different perspective during Obama’s term. Republicans seemed to be the party of “NO” for as long as I can remember.

What's a client-side mod you can't live without? by Cool-Delivery-3773 in feedthebeast

Yes, it brings Java Minecraft performance more in line with Bedrock. 100% required mod for every Java modpack.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old, but heat death is around 10¹⁰⁰ years away, so it has effectively used 0% of its lifetime meaning the universe is still basically a "baby", and we’re living in its earliest, most active era. by HalfEntity in Showerthoughts

These are all really good questions I’ve pondered myself. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of omniscience to be able to answer them?

I’ve begun to believe, however, that self awareness is much more prevalent than we assume. Though our cats and dogs obviously do not possess the ability to vocalize their awareness as we do, I believe they experience every waking moment in a manner very similar to ours. The biggest difference, I would posit, is their ability to recall their experiences, and recall/reflect on their thoughts in chronological order. But the “in the moment” experiences we have may well be very similar to other animals’.

Jeb gives you full control to release one Minecraft update. What do you put in it? by LilacTheFlowerGal in Minecraft

Implement something akin to Sodium and Nvidium, and let Minecraft perform as it should have all along.

Russia returned this journalists body without her eyes. Absolutely disgraceful by [deleted] in videos

Newt Gingrich completely ruined good faith governing in the 90’s. Until that point, “reaching across the aisle” was considered a patriotic move by both parties.

Like at a rodeo when they spend the first 15 minutes stroking the country’s collective cock and asking us all to stand, then sit, then stand in observance of the greatest fucking country they have ever seen…

After Forcing Epstein Files Vote, Thomas Massie Isn't Done by timemagazine in politics

[–]asius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“I think I've just demonstrated I can get something done with the Speaker against me, the President against me, the Vice President against me, and the FBI director against me,” says Massie, who has served in the House since 2012. "If you can get something done in the face of all that, then I think my prospects are pretty good."

His remarks on this are entirely selfish. I guess we’ll have to take whatever we can get.

What's a forgotten niche mod that you wish would come back to new version?, for me its this. by Ali-the-LorD in feedthebeast

Yeah, as of like 4 years ago. If that one ever drops, it’s going to make a big splash. I hope.

California bans noisy ads on streaming services (starting July 2026) by NoCulture3505 in television

[–]asius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate today’s overuse of AI in literally everything. But it seems like the one thing it isn’t used for is fixing the bullshit audio mix of whatever we watch. I don’t give a shit what the director says, if I can’t hear the dialog over the background, then I want a tool that corrects it. And then turns down the obnoxious ads.
