We’ve had Luigi, time for Lakitu

All I see is

Literally just tax the super rich a little bit. God damn it Keith

I was content to damn them with faint praise and save everyone the hassle. EY is a reasonably good writer who repackaged a lot of good ideas (Kahneman et al) and came up with a lot of less impressive original ideas (all the parts you’ve highlighted, many more). His most enjoyable work was fiction.

I can’t speak for others but I’ve come to see the Less Wrong / hardline rationalist crowd as having had some interesting ideas despite the Sam Bankman Fried of it all. Rationalwiki can be rather snarky, but can be a good resource.

Oh my god fuck shut up fuck this looks amazing

Good context, cheers

As someone who was being stalked for a while, would have been really fucking nice if Voice had sorted this out a few years ago

It’s really that bad

There’s an argument to be made for both Repulsor and Favourable Beginnings.

We aren’t talking about the weight of the payload though. Don’t you need a fairly hefty bomb to meaningfully damage a refinery?

If the answer is no, I would love to see this strategy implemented in a longer ranged plane. Russia’s main tank production factory is about 2000 miles from the nominal Ukrainian border.

They must have done something to it, because Wikipedia puts its max range as 680 miles.

The ethos of neutrality isn’t in itself an invitation to drag the neutral position in your direction with increasingly extreme views. It’s unfair to say Switzerland is “aligning itself with Europe” and instead say Europe is less extremist.

No, no we didn’t.

Easy to rattle off bullshit like that if you’ve wasted as much time as I have on Souls lore videos

Clem was a good man, and a genius. But within him, there was a seed of something else. His servant Banaida believed in him and dedicated his life to their work. After the Scourge of Clementor, he made the choice to use their research to mutilate himself. His body became a mighty steed to lead him into battle. This time, their research would be used for good: to redeem what was left of breakfast, and the memory of his friend.

In trying to research some kind of response, I stumbled across the “Haavara agreement”. Surprising that some Nazis seemed open to the idea of Zionism as part of their goals. Even more surprising that Israel is not even offering such a bargain to Palestinians. Vae victus, Bibi?

Imagine being such a simpleton you can’t be sad during sex.

Couldn’t be me 😎

Hate this take but love the energy,

Really I just miss games that are intensely and deeply “written”…Like Arcanum, Morrowind, or Disco Elysium. I want a game that is actually several books encased in game software. BG3 is close, but I want something even denser. I’ll be so gratified if Larian is on the same page.
