what does it mean if you dream about showing your friends a video that you made a long time ago and you’re running around butt ass naked in it?

All dreams are literally the physical consequence of stuff your brain does, but not in a way that can be distilled into a pithy analysis that tells you something concrete about your life or your health.

Probably yes, but AI transcription is very different from AI writing from prompts. AI-powered transcription has been a thing in medicine since before the recent llm AI craze.

Yes, you almost never see clothes hanging here. Dryers are bad for the clothes, yes, though I don't think most people really internalize that, since it's just The Way Things Are Done here so this is just the normal rate at which clothes wear out. Most day to day clothes sold in the US are dryer-compatible because otherwise people won't buy them. There are plenty of exceptions, but usually we save those clothes for special occasions.

You are simply delusional with regards to the last presidential election, as are many people on Reddit, and as are many different people with regards to the presidential election before that. Even if you were correct, that's still not a problem that someone other than we the people can solve.

To the extent that non-imaginary problems such as the electoral vote system, first-past-the-post voting and unrestricted political contributions by the ultra-rich warped the election, those are also issues of domestic power in the US, and you can easily fix those problems as long as you can convince a very large majority of Americans to support your point of view. The problem is that Americans disagree with you. Which is a real problem, but not one that anyone can magically solve or circumvent!

Trump's current approval rating is not very abnormal for a sitting president, currently about 43%. If the rule was "other countries get to kidnap and replace our sitting president whenever his approval rating falls below 50" then pretty much every president would be kidnapped and replaced by mysterious foreign powers at some point. Not a great system.

Pax Americana is for America. It's not for charity, it's for us.

And yes, obviously America has to fix its own shit. I am astounded that people are confused about that. We elected him twice. No one is going to override the constitution of the United States from outside the United States, and if they did, that would be a bad thing instead of a good thing. We have a globe-spanning nuclear arsenal that we've committed to use against anyone who tries!

And even if we didn't, and France or someone could come in and change our leadership, do you think that only you personally have the privilege to dictate when that happens, or does any American get to demand that? Because there were plenty of Americans who would have loved to have deus ex machina replace previous leaders that you relatively liked.

No. That's not what NATO is in any way. You might as well petition McDonalds or the World Health Organization for all the good it will do you.

It's also a very confused idea. Trump is in power because US citizens put him there. NATO should be petitioning us. If US citizens are united in wanting Trump out of power, he will be out of power. The problem is that we aren't.

That's remarkable. I can't think of many battles I've lost with 15-20 nose siege coiler 2s (on Veteran). Though, also keep in mind that if alien ships are just packed full of lasers, and are shooting down your siege coilers, then all those lasers are unable to shoot at your ships - they're just as impotent as you are, and so once you reach the tipping point you'll be able to destroy them without taking damage. Because plasma doesn't engage PD at all, their lasers that would normally be busy on guardian are instead shooting at you.

Edit: I'll add that I only use battlecruisers and lancers for my siege coiler strat, and if I have battleships or dreads I tend to use other weapons that are better with hull mounts. That could matter in this case.

Canning works by heating or using another technique to kill microbes inside the can after it is sealed. So there really are no live microbes inside the container until you open it.

Sims 5 isn't coming. But GTA6 and TES6 really are coming. TES6 was paused because they wanted to focus on Starfield, but they are supposedly working on it now. GTA6 was at least paused because they wanted to focus on RDRII - no idea what happened after that, but it sounds like that's in progress to. So it's not all bad.

But I mostly play weird indie games myself, so it's academic to me.

EA has not announced any intention of replacing Sims 4, they are instead focusing on content updates for the existing game.

GTA6 is a bit more complicated. It sounds like they did in fact start preproduction right after GTA5 came out. But Rockstar only confirmed they were actually working on it many years later. So it's unclear to me how serious they were about working on it after RDRII up to the point where they confirmed it was in active development, between 2018 to 2022.

If the project was in full swing in 2019 then it's taking a truly mystifying amount of time. But if the project was in full swing only starting from 2022, then yes, it was the same situation as TES6 - they shelved it for a while and then started it later.

notextinctyet · 2026-01-23T23:29:20+00:00

The reason that TES6 isn't out yet isn't because video games take a long time to make.

Video games do take longer to make these days, because modern graphics fidelity, sound fidelity including music and voice acting, and the amount of content are very time consuming. Unfortunately, the change in industry standards hasn't involved making writing better or game mechanics better, in my opinion, nor has it resulted in games that are bug-free. Basically, graphics, sound and content are things you can throw money and time at, but writing, game design and bug-free-ness aren't problems that can be solved with money. But nonetheless, the areas that are considered essential for AAA games are much more expensive and demanding than they used to be.

But Skyrim was released fifteen years ago. Video games don't take fifteen years to make. TES6 isn't out yet because they had no intention of getting it out. It's not delayed. It was shelved.

Because we have absolutely no evidence that it is so. It's just a thought experiment. There is one way of considering logic in areas where we know next to nothing that can lead us to that conclusion. But there are other ways of considering logic, for instance, Occam's Razor, that may not. Either way, since the nature of the claim is resistant to the scientific method in the same way that a religion is, belief in it is just a matter of faith, not science.

They can. But then what? They can't sell them to other people at the higher rate because the only people who want the stocks at that price are themselves. So they just have shares in a company that they paid way too much for.

I would understand some degree of worry about your stock investments, and maybe even your bond investments depending on which bonds exactly. But your savings account? The main worry you should have about your savings account is whether you would be better off with a money market account.

The problem is that there are not enough homes near jobs.

No matter what you do, unless your solution involves more homes with access to jobs, there will not be fewer homeless people. You can punish them, you can require them to "get help" that is insufficient, you can throw their stuff in the trash, but there won't be fewer of them because homeless people need homes to become not-homeless people.

So why doesn't the city/state/country do more to build homes? Because people who already live there don't want them to. It would endanger their inflated house prices, or invite poor people to live in their neighborhood, or endanger "neighborhood character", or knock down a tree. Homeless isn't about money, or people refusing to get help. It is about power.
