You can like the game but please stop with the revisionism of it was always playable. When I first played it I could not get through the first non tutorial mission because there was no ground. after restarting the mission just would not progress. It launched in a horrible state on PC I can't even imagine what it was like on consoles.

all religions change. The gnostics were my favorite offshoot because it seems more believable then God being good after committing multiple genocides.

Every single one. They ethier white wash (not in the making people white way but sometimes they too) or villify everything about it. There is no place for nuance in modern retellings for some reason.

I've been reading some terrible books because I enjoy listening to 372 pages we'll never get back.

That reads exactly like a line in a few of those books.

I mean AGI is possible unless causality isn't true and the brain just is a "soul's" interface for the material world.

But who is to say LLMs are the right path for it.

In 2020, the UK imported 46% of the food it consumed. No one country provides more than 11% of those imports, a picture which has been stable for some time. By value, £48 billion of FFD was imported and £21.4 billion was exported.

As the U.S. population has grown and diversified, the volume and variety of food consumed domestically have also increased, driving up imports of a range of agricultural products. Over the past decade, the share of imports in overall food and beverage consumption has trended upward, from 13.5 percent in 2013 to 17.3 percent in 2022.

tell me again how importing food is uniquely an American thing.

I'm pretty sure they mean 2 boxes.

according to EA Sims 5 will never happen. Probably because they know they will lose so many players that have already spent north of 1000$

calibre might be my favorite piece of software ever made. I wish every media format had a calibre equivalent. I have sorted thousands of books and merged so many series into single files because who needs seperate books on an eReader.

You define tankie then. I'm a communist and think Russia is an Imperialist state and therefore bad. I've seen others say that it had never done anything bad and Ukraine was asking for it.
