Reagan’s position from day one was that corporate self-interest would ultimately produce the best solution for the US.

This was more or less the same time that Exxon was beginning their climate change coverup.

As it turns out, relying on "corporate self-interest" just gets you a climate crisis.

Overheard:

"What’s with all the orange smoke?" asked Piglet.

"Oh, that's Trump's ass getting burned by the Rule of Law,” replied Pooh.

Is rampage even "significantly" triggerable in PVP? Like, if you kill one guardian and a get 1x boost, does that really impact the TTK to make a difference?

I rarely get 2 or more people in a row.

Which do you think is better:

1-My old reliable far-range and high clip auto that has some extra rounds and some damage boost after a kill

2-Or this week's Xur's offering of a lower range but more stable with a chance at x3 damage boost rampage?

I can't decide. Both have their uses. I've been killing adds and the targetting discs on Mars past the crafting room trying to see the range distance improvement with dmg falloff, and I'm not seeing any difference.

Star Trek: The Next Generation S1E16: When The Bough Breaks. In which the crew encounter the Aldeans, who have abdicated all their decisions to a computer “the Custodian” many hundreds of years ago. The Aldeans do not understand (and cannot maintain) the Custodian, nor any of its rationale in decision making. Yet they entrust it with all their decisions. They are on the brink of extinction, despite their technical prowess.

Poignant satire of chatGPT. First aired… 1991. #StarTrek #chatgpt

You know, Necromancers are pretty impressive. They get all that work done with only a skeleton crew.

(I’ll show myself the door. 😋)

Ok wait. Leave the closet ones in there. They're cozy. *twitch*

Thanks for all the boosts and follows over my gushing about haha. Looking forward to chats about language and writing, but also music and gaming if that interests you too!

Nothing more exciting than a good word processor or text editor. I’ve enjoyed so many over the decades starting with in the 1980s, through other majors (Word), and niches like (Amiga), and (Mac). 🥰

Decades have passed since the 1960s, yet the use of Indigenous American and First Nations names and images by sports teams continues to stir public debate. Mainstream media often simplifies the issue, framing it solely as a matter of offense to Indigenous individuals.

However, this oversimplification disregards the tangible harm caused and dismisses the impact on non-Natives. Today, we delve into the true complexities surrounding Indigenous peoples as sports mascots in #TheBigPicture: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".
