Great game, really nice visuals and nice (very trippy) soundtrack. I tried to be a “good” cult leader, trying to ressurect everybody that “died” (most got sacrificed before they could die of old age), but some people should stay dead. And mourning and sadness is just another reason to put everybody on shrooms again

It actually takes a few trillion years but its fine because we just stop considering the “failed” universes because they will be gone soon™ anyway.

Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.

Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.

With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.

“Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.

You didn’t read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn’t fit into the games setting and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

I found the article to very informative and not at all “gamergatey”.

Its points are:

• this is the scene
• it is bad
• here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
• “its a BioWare self insert”
• this is how they could have handled it better
• the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

The holy trinity, the father, the son and the holy spirit are the same entity.

No. The key looks strange and I hab to reread it a few times. I’m also quite certain I have seen the same joke before in a different comic

The ghost is sad because it locked itself out/forgot the key inside. Second ghost shows up an tells them to just warp through because they are ghosts. But instead of being happy they are inside and never needed the key, they try to move the key outside so they can unlock the door to get inside.

It will be a long time and a lot of innovations in material science until you can implant a quantum computer into a person. So much that I am not sure it is even possible (or practical)

That is the “low tech”; works 100% of the time; will make your live easier in the future solution.

It takes longer than remounting but getting rid of a NTFS drive in a Linux only environment is a good move.

That is like saying a 12 year old should be able to be healed from being quadriplegic because they are still growing. Some medical conditions are for live (at our current medical knowledge) and it doesn’t matter if they are “physical” or “mental”.

That’s the difference between a stew and a soup where everything had been puréed

Then OP has to die in international waters. And I think ships usually count as part of the country they are registered in. So if you die on a cruise ship it still counts like dieing in that ships owner country. And its not trivial to move a corpse out of a country, there are laws about that. So the country they plan to die in very mutch matters.

Yes it is technically the diminutive form of Hahn which is german for rooster but “Hähnchen” is mostly just used to refer to the meat of any chicken. Like beef is the meat of a cow, Hähnchen is the meat of a chicken.

And the brain didn’t even know it was naming itself.

The ancient Egyptians removed the brain before mummification because they considerd it to be basically useless. Later associations between motor control of muscles and the brain were discovered but it wasn’t until the development of modern neuroscience that the brain was considered to be the seat of awareness, self and intelligence.

Client isolation doesn’t help. That is just the access point not routing traffic between connected devices. The problem with WiFi is it is a radio signal. Everybody in range can receive 100% of all communication on that network. Just by being in range the attacker can do passive sniffing. No wiretap needed like with cabled networks.

WiFi is encryoed if it uses a password. So any public WiFi without a password can be sniffed by literally every device in range (no need to connect to the WiFi for sniffing). On public WiFi with a password, the radio signal is encrypted but everybody knows the encryption key. So everybody connected to the WiFi can still sniff the traffic of everybody else.

That encryption is only on the WiFi level, so encrypted radio signals, not on the actually traffic level (like TLS/HTTPS etc).

The post office knows who you are sending letters to. They have to know because they have to deliver it. They do not know the content of the letter. They also dont know if the letter will be passed along by the receiver to a different destination.

Your ISP knows you are sending traffic to a VPN but not where they are sending it to. The VPN knows where you are sending traffic to but not the content of that traffic. So if you browse a website that only serves pirated content, then they knows you are consuming pirated media but not which media.

If the law requires the VPN to report any and all traffic to blacklisted sights then a “no logs policy” would breach that law.

However to make this law work, Italy would have to ban all VPNs and http proxy services outside of Italy. Italy would have to force pretty mutch the whole world to follow this law for it to work.

What happens if you run a tiny server on AWS in the USA to proxy your private traffic. Unless AWS USA is watching all traffic to see if it complies with Italian law there is no way to enforce it.

A coastline may be infinitely long (coastline paradox) but the area of the ocean is not infinitely large.

Just think about it this way: go close to the coastline while still being 100% certain you are on land. No matter how precise (and therefore long) you measure the coastline, the area of the ocean can never be larger than the area inside of your 100% on land line.

It consumes the resource of “purified, available water” which is consumed as it is no longer purified or unavailable (if evaporated). The same way nothing ever “consumes” energy, it just makes it unusable.

But only if they are artificially bred. If hunted wild, it has an incredibly positive impact. They are a invasive species and are harmful to any ecosystem they were introduced to.
