Children of Time

This is something I think about a lot, and has been done well in fiction plenty already. My adhd wouldn’t just go away in a fantasy world. Sure I might have a burst of motivation for a while, but I probably wouldn’t magically be interested in studying and research just because I might be able to do some basic magic.

It’s a situation of just enough knowledge, I think. It’s true that water won’t put out an EV battery fire, but it will cool it down and prevent the fire from spreading.

I can totally see the value in that, but I also worry it might result in a “blank cheque” situation where rape allegations are dismissed because one party consented on an app and the other took that as free rein to do whatever.

But you’re right. The other side is potentially protecting people from false allegations.

The issue with this is that consent can be withdrawn at any point. You don’t just agree to have sex and you’re good for the night. Consent is a constant thing.

Every time. Absolutely cracks me up.

I remember seeing the same thing on Futureweapons 15+ years ago. Anecdotally, I can say from experience how hard it is to talk when your works are echoing back to you at just the right delay. It totally scrambles me.

Close. Nyan, or nya, is the equivalent of meow. So you need whatever sound a Japanese moose makes.

Memes and image macro were never synonyms. Image macros are memes, but that doesn’t mean all memes are image macros.

Same. School firewall blocked based on host names, so we all learned a lot about the hosts file so we could manually set all of the IPs Minecraft needed to authenticate.

Damn, open window as well.

I could totally be misremembering, but I seem to recall the Ezio trilogy being praised for accurate cities. So not the original originals, but probably some of the best.

But imagine if you grew up with and struggled alongside those 40 plays for your whole life.

This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

Amazing typo.

It started with BoatyMcBoatface, as far as I know. The winner for naming what became the Sir David Attenborough.

Isn’t the Panama Canal basically running out of water? They should act like they’ve been cowed, sell it to us for a ton of money, and laugh all the way to the bank.

If the espresso isn’t making you pee, you might just be dehydrated. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it’s going to make you lose some water.

What the fuck
