Personally I’m very excited for KSP 2. I’ve never been particularly good at designing ships - the aesthetics never quite come together - but I do love the genuine accomplishment of executing a complicated mission from assembly to arrival and return.

This one’s pretty easy to track yourself, actually. Crack open the dev console on your browser and see if there’s any traffic while you type or move your mouse. Many websites will also track your mouse movement and aggregate it all to form heatmaps and see how people are interacting with the UI.

The solution is same as it ever was: disable JS by default, and if you have to enable it, use something like the uMatrix extension to selectively kill scripts.

You should wash your leafy greens though because dirt and e coli and what not. And random peoples’ hands touching the food in the grocery store. And if you didn’t bag up your produce and it touches the conveyor? :cringe:

Most chicken isn’t carrying salmonella. However, chicken is porous enough that any meat infected with salmonella is infected throughout. Therefore, washing doesn’t do shit but remove the dirt if you dropped it on the floor. Further, you’re gonna spray water that touched the chicken, and now your sink basin has salmonella. Your dirty dishes have salmonella. The faucet might, definitely will if you turn the water off after handling the chicken. The counter will have salmonella.

The solution? Don’t eat chicken, :im-vegan:

The upcoming ones are named: “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Avatar: The Seed Bearer,” “Avatar: The Tulkun Rider,” “Avatar: The Quest for Eywa.

They were cool but my god the showrunners can’t do politics for shit.

TLA: There’s one bad guy, he’s evil because he’s evil. He has a daughter who’s also evil because she’s crazy.

LOK: Ok, time to tell more mature stories.

Who’s the first villain? Communism! Except:

• The equalist movement picks up an enormous amount of steam basically overnight: their problems with benders dominating society are valid and recognized at large
• Its pure Great Man Theory that only the charismatic ideologue is able to lead the movement
• The moment the leader is recognized as lying about being a bender the movement collapses instantly. Guess their issues with how society is structured weren’t that valid?
• Special feature: the eccentric self-made capitalist-inventor

Then we get the second villain, environmentalism!

• Except the environmentalist is also a conqueror intending to oppress people
• And he’s doing it in order to dominate the world by doing superpowered mass-scale ecoterrorism
• Remember the eccentric capitalist? He’s back as a war profiteer and it’s played for laughs

Who’s the third villain? Anarchists!

• They don’t have a cohesive ideology beyond “rulers bad”
• They kill a monarch (cool) and then tell the world’s largest civilization to idk figure itself out and peace out

And the last villain? Fascism.

• The fascist is shown to be correct on the details constantly
• Her campaign of brutal conquest is successful at unifying the kingdom the anarchists broke apart
• She builds a superweapon which ends up changing the world for the better
• The war profiteering capitalist has zero problems with helping the fascists until his own life is threatened
• Unlike every other villain in the show, the Avatar shows her active empathy and compassion

I think the showrunners got that terminal :LIB: brain

government pours infinite money into corporations

“Look how good the economy is!”

Check out milk alternatives like oat milk, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc. I’ve personally found oat is quite good, and it also comes in low on the water usage scale.

It’s the same institutional bias you see all over the place. White men are preferentially selected for in roles of power because it’s only been white guys in those roles in the past. Wonder if there’s a name for that.

Anyways, I don’t think it matters terribly what you choose to read as an individual, but there certainly should be attempts to popularize minority voices in literature because they’re overwhelmingly passed over in favor of the Rowlings and Kings of the world by people who might honestly have no clue they’re doing it. Affirmative action for authors.
