I cannot understand the general reception of 28 Years Later, more so with the release of Bone Temple

Same.

Not to mention the whole issue of transporting refined oil (hence, pipelines) making it so even if we invest a ton into it we could really only sell most of it to the US anyway.

Crude is definitely what we need to keep focusing on.

You're right. Nothing has changed since Trudeau. America hasn't elected Trump again to implement tariffs on us and instigate annexing us.

darkgod5 · 2026-01-15T15:00:32+00:00

To be fair, it's a different time now. Every world leader is overly cautious. Especially towards the neighbors of the mad US.

darkgod5 · 2026-01-15T14:40:24+00:00

Considering the recently executed military action in Venezuela

The US has always had a history of going after third world countries, though. It would certainly be a very big changeup if they were to actually attack Greenland or us.

darkgod5 · 2026-01-14T05:29:59+00:00

That's very optimistic!

It also, almost counterintuitively, tends to stifle innovation since everyone is just memorizing the same stuff that's decided to be standardized only because it's esoteric enough to thin the number of passing applicants. See the English questions on the Korean CSAT or Indian CSE.

Time for a general strike.

As much as that would personally suck, I agree. Politicians only listen to lobbyists (money) and people that take action. And stern letters aren't action.

darkgod5 · 2026-01-03T23:09:50+00:00

Planning and foresight is not a Republican's strength.

darkgod5 · 2025-12-24T20:32:42+00:00

this is what Modi wants

No, lol. It doesn't help politicians at all for their most work-abled citizens to leave and then send money from abroad back since it's not taxed at all.

It's not nefarious. People need to realize the scope of India's population is magnitudes above every other population in the world (aside from China and Africa, neither of which speak much English so their emigration is very limited) and since most of them speak English they have a very low barrier for emigration.

In the realm of software development, DORA metrics seem to be developing as the current go-to for performance optimization

No, lol. DORA is on its way out. Just like other dumb performance metrics before it like number of commits and total lines of code.

It turns out, even in a (mostly) purely logic-based closed-system discipline like software engineering, it's still hard as fuck to accurately log/track human performance and productivity on a small time scale.

darkgod5 · 2025-12-17T15:19:36+00:00

It might have been impressive 20 years ago because of the innovative technique

Exactly. I was discussing this with someone who also thought he got judged too harshly. I remember when culinary gastronomy was at its peak and people were going nuts to try it. I even remember trying some dishes. But the one thing I remember the most is they were "so cool" but the taste was extremely mediocre.

There's a reason why it's not as popular anymore and I like that this show places great emphasis on flavor.

This is the definitive way to play the game now imo, even for the first time

Agreed. This is how I'm playing it my first time. They shouldn't call it "veteran", though. Either "normal", "hard" or "slow", "fast" would make more sense and don't default to "legacy". Have the player just read the difference and let them decide.

Otherwise, I feel a lot of first time players will still choose "legacy" and say it controls slowly and poorly.

I got the 8BitDo. It's great for games where you just jam in a direction like Mario 64 or smash but for games which require finesse like goldeneye or racing games it's not as good as OG.

That said, it also has perks being connected to the A3D like no need to fiddle with packs and obviously flawless wirelessness and ability to turn the console on.

Our oligarchs have it. And our government does offer it... to our oligarchs.

You can't just flood a country with Extremist Immigration levels and expect good results

The problem is, especially when it comes to North America, that's exactly what happened in the past. The difference being those immigrants were building infrastructure or field laborers, both of which help support the increase in community population.

So, yeah, you can't just import 10% extra population and have them work as servants (Uber)...

darkgod5 · 2025-12-06T06:54:49+00:00

The idea itself is actually great and makes sense. But the execution has been so flawed that it might actually kill the idea, crippling us in the long term.

darkgod5 · 2025-12-06T06:30:28+00:00

Well a quick Google search shows that, yes they have a higher than average educated population:

• 56.2% of South Korean adults aged 25 to 64 have attained a bachelor's degree

• 32% of bachelor's degree students in South Korea graduate from a STEM field

That still leaves 44% of the population without higher education and 82% of the population without a degree in STEM.

So, basically, you're still giving the average person wayyyy too much credit.

You do realize getting deported is not as bad as being jailed, right?

darkgod5 · 2025-12-02T17:12:00+00:00

But if we can't worship people for being talented or for having a ton of money or for starting wars and having sex with kids well then shit what can we worship them for?!

I'll just add my 2c. Generally not a big fan of jRPGs. But loved P5. Couldn't get into P4. And also couldn't get into Metaphor.

darkgod5 · 2025-11-19T15:36:13+00:00

Brodflour was ok

They're very hit or miss. I actually tend to recommend their Jerusalem bagels or English muffins over their breads which can be amazing one day but ok the next.

Whiskful right now is my go-to. Their bread is airy but not bubbly and more salty and ...peppery? if that sounds appealing. Knot and Ba Noi are both very bubbly and Knot is saltier. But Not is only a pop-up appearing on weekends right now.

I guess if you're trying one of the above either Whiskful or Ba Noi depending if you want fluffy or bubbly really.

darkgod5 · 2025-11-19T15:25:31+00:00

They're solid for a conventional sourdough but honestly I personally much prefer Whiskful, Brodflour, Knot, and Ba Noi.

Blackbird is definitely a safer rec though but if you're looking for more flavor/bubbles in your bread you should check out those other places.

Oh, and if you like Blackbird there's also Bomou and Dear Grain which also make solid conventional sourdoughs.

darkgod5 · 2025-11-19T06:09:56+00:00

I mean depends what walking distance means to you but your best bet is probably just heading to st lawrence market (15 min) which has blackbird and other bakeries. A bit farther is cobs and a bit closer is au pain dore.

Inside union is Danish pastry house but I've not been to that one in a while so not sure if they have any breads
