Late-stage capitalism has always worked out so well in the future.

Would be interesting to join but have to get bit more karma :)

Among the Yanomami (per Napoleon Chagnon), killing outsiders was not “murder,” it raised status. Men who killed had more wives. Violence was cyclical and regulated, not collapse. Humans are not universally anti-killing, mainly in-group.

That pressure kept population density low and groups mobile. Less surplus, less accumulation, weaker incentives for technological scaling. Over ~10,000+ years this maintained a relatively stable human–environment equilibrium.

Do you want to elaborate on why Athena Crisis is better than Wargroove in your opinion?

So the next move is to train chat GPT like language model out of the data from whatsapp, facebook and instagram.

Gee, what could go wrong?

Too bad in a big project the recompile and asset reload times get annoying in Unity, even with assembly definitions. In one project I used a runtime lua interpreter on top of C# to speed up game scripting.

Your experience is subjective and unique to you and so is for everyone else. That's why there's no point to use some objective metric to rate entertainment anyways. I don't generally like modern movies or TV as well, and I feel some what entitled to that opinion.

They caught him because he left a plastic bag in the crime scene, the plastic bag had a sticker, from that they could tell that it had been used to weight a banana and could also pin down the place and a time. They then used the surveillance footage in store to identify the person.

I worked in a game company that used discord. I much prefer it to slack.

Shotcut is unfortunately no different. Having used shotcut for hundreds of hours ctrl+s becomes your best friend.

Nowadays, they do have option to use incremental garbage collector which in theory alleviates frame spikes.

As a programmer I've approached these problems with programming productivity software for myself. 1) A hierarchical task list that has unlimited depth for tasks and undo history. I write every little task down and their subtask and their subtask... This way when I do get distracted (and I do a lot), one look at it and I know snap back to the context I was in. 2) Micro day/routine planner that schedules my day and reminds me to do things with text to speak while I work
