I was lucky enough to be in a big Outfit and part of a fast drop breach team. Trained a lot together, clearing different bases and breaking down bases and pathways behind enemy lines, allowing for our main force to roll on in. Was a fun game all the time mainly for that team and social aspect. Was a lot of “Holy shit!” moments with a good unit.

I did. To get an open beta key for PlanetSide 2, 14 years ago. Got the key, haven’t touched it since.

Bingo. And in reference to our entire history, I don’t see why it would suddenly be any different forr singular generations. It’s so much a pattern set in stone that it could be said it is our nature.

Oh, it was always worse. But it does always get better. They’ll say it about us one day; so long as we aren’t currently approaching the finish line of society as it stands.

Tbf, a lot of that wait it all the trackers getting swatted away. Rarely is it just too much shit coming from too far away on a shitty series of nodes.

I remember this being a big concern when LLMs came out. Having seen their performance since, there’s no way in hell you’d want AI handling your case. I wouldn’t be surprised if it became illegal.

WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.

Next morning: Self-diagnose clear signs of sleep deprivation as being ADHD or ASD.

Next afternoon: Google a lot of stuff about neurodivergence but tell everyone you used Duck Duck Go.

Next evening: Look around Lemmy for comments to reply to with all the stuff just learned from Google, even if they’re half a year old.

Next late evening: Remember to eat.

Next night: Stay up until 5am complaining about the man, anxiety, and ongoing struggles of a fried brain. Get 3 hours sleep.

As a species we have evolved with certain traits. These traits are the reason we are the top.species. Try as we may, with society, we cannot just blink these traits away,; no living thing can evolve that fast.

So whenever someone comes up with a great idea of how things could be in society, they often ignore our species’ traits of ruthless ambition, persistent survival, tribalistic loyalty, etc. It is like when people get border collies thinking they’ll be great pets, but then realise their true nature and how much work and.effort has to be put into them every day to get.the most.out of them.

Idiots think we’re somehow different and beyond the other animals, but we’re not. How society is today is exactly how we are. If someone wants to change it, they need to factor human nature, else it won’t work.

Yep. Did this recently actually lol.

But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.

Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.

Ah, okay. Good to know. I dismissed the alert because it was after a recent update on the TV which also installed an Advertisement ID that allowed for AV ads on the home screen as soon as I turned it on. Definitely been in a “What bullshit is this now?” mode.

It’s funny that the mindset has shifted to distrusting Google and Sony this much based on all the times they’ve tried to sneak things in or block the things that block them. Kind of like a persistent but low-level malware themselves, it’s likely I’ll dismiss/block their next attempt as I usually do. Having a warning from them is like listening to the boy that cried wolf, sort of.

Could be one of the fake ones. Need to get it from the drv’s git, not the websites claiming to be him.

I had this shit the other day. Legit laughed out loud.

I’m guessing something like most of the magnets contain the plasma, but some transfer energy off it?

By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.

But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

iirc John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect grade 4 nostalgia, though.

Hell, I could’ve picked that up off playing Jurassic World Evolutions in the last six months and it’s backpedal lore.

Whatever it is, Michael Crichton was no idiot.

I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…

Invertebrates? No. All out

Fish? No. Also a Hammerhead would’ve really sold this comic lol.

Birds? No. Though, even on the side they do often have a tilt toward frontal in a lot of predatory birds. It could be argued…

Reptiles? No.

Amphibians? No. There’s no even trying to place rules on that optical chaos.

Mammals? Yeah, pretty much. Can’t think of an outlier but I’m sure there’s plenty of obvious ones.

Edit’ Ah, there we go. Of course marine mammals are an exception. But back in land, as too are llamas. Makes you wonder…what are the llamas plotting?

Was letting my father know travel plans the other day…

Aw, even the nifty fifty got a spot.

Socialism is great as a concept, basically means putting people before capital. Capitalism is the reverse.

That’s not even slightly true, but human nature makes it end up being that way. We’re real good at coming up with isms incompatible with our nature, so they never work as planned, often with irony too.
