Game idea: Simulation of a world where people are nice, know what they're doing, and nothing goes wrong that is any human's fault. The purpose is to create an environment that is actually functioning optimally just to see how long you, the player, can be in that world without becoming uncomfortable.

Game idea: MMO where all player equipment is percistent in the world unless destroyed. So if a player dies, anything in the environment can get a hold of it. A goblin might pick up your sword. Rain might wash away your ring into a ditch.

Rolled credits on the Cyberpunk DLC. What a great depiction of espionage as a way of life. The constant making of life or death decisions in an environment where you can never be sure of anything or anyone. No closure, nothing but a fragile hope for the best and an undying dread for the worst. 10/10

*disappears into the dystopic Night City for a day, then checks back into the real world...* Yeah, no, dystopic fiction is definitely better than reality. Set the bar any lower and Lovecraftian horror becomes better than real life... Shall we start vacationing in Yharnam?

We're not here to have the answers. We're not at that stage as a species. We're here to have the questions. Why do we do as we do even though it makes things worse around us and inside us? "It's the question that drives us".

In the phrase "I think, therefore I am", does the 'am' portion of the sentence provide any information that the 'think' portion didn't already cover?

I saw an interesting argument the other day that both over-confidence and over-insecurity are forms of excessive egocentrism. Even if you're thinking "I'm the worst thing ever" the focus is still you. Been thinking about that ever since...

I feel like internet communication is getting... weirder over time. Like, it's increasingly common to not be on the same page in an interaction. More and more often, a response doesn't seem to have much at all to do with what is being responded to. Is it me, or are y'all seeing the same thing?

Fairness does not exist, and cannot exist. No argument of rightiousness or empathy will make those in power set this right. The only power we have to set boundaries that can't be crossed is collective power. We can't out-source it to any politician or judge. Stand together or this will never change.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #BokehBirds:
A small yellow, blackish-blue, and white bird sits perched on the edge of a table. The background is all blurred out due to a very narrow depth of field. Like the table, the background is mostly brown and green.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

Wow, according to this Dutch article, South Korea is fighting bullying by denying access to universities to bullies? They should do this EVERYWHERE! nos.nl/artikel/2632...
nos.nl
Was je op school een echte pestkop? Dan kun je de universiteit wel vergeten in Zuid-Korea
Sinds een paar jaar is het verplicht om aantekeningen van schoolgeweld, zoals pesten in Zuid-Korea genoemd wordt, in te leveren wanneer leerlingen zich aanmelden bij een universiteit.

I'm glad they're tapping into the potential of logistic drones. If it works well enough then wars of attrition become MUCH harder to execute. And Russia's standard form of warfare is war of attrition.

I wish game fights weren't so often designed to be progressively harder, but instead progressively more diverse. I don't need to feel increasingly high doses of stress, I want to feel continuous wonder about this new behaviour I'm seeing the enemy do. Let me deal with a growing possibility space.
