This is it for me. I like that a multiplayer world is something dynamic I'm a part of even when I'm not interacting with it directly.

This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn't exponentially better in every way I'd go back to nights in a heartbeat.

The real pro tip is always in the comments

I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn't just affecting education, unfortunately. There's a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they'd like to revert.

I suspect they won't need to rationalize it, unfortunately. This will be justification for them to use their weapons.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have gone looking for it and it was definitely worth watching.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

^^^ This is the one I recognize. There's just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it's got southsamurai's name above it

I've always liked how Sam Harris addressed this:

It is, therefore, not an exaggeration to say that if the city of New York were suddenly replaced by a ball of fire, some significant percentage of the American population would see a silver-lining in the subsequent mushroom cloud, as it would suggest to them that the best thing that is ever going to happen was about to happen: the return of Christ. It should be blindingly obvious that beliefs of this sort will do little to help us create a durable future for ourselves - socially, economically, environmentally, or geopolitically. Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the US government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this, purely on the basis of religion dogma, should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency.

Interesting read on her and her husband:
