@OldInternetFeel There are more free and high quality browser games than ever in history. Both on sites like NewGrounds and Itch.io. We even have browser games that work on mobile as well as desktop. I think we are in a better place now in general.

@Yuchenj_UW @LaurenceBrem Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt is pretty good. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is also a good read that covers a lot of topics in an easy to understand way. He is a bit overrated by some conservative though, but I think at least that book is decent.

@LaurenceBrem any good economics book recommendations?

How money works: 1. OpenAI signs $300B GPU deal with Oracle 2. Larry gains $100B (no GPUs shipped) 3. Larry invests in OpenAI’s $1T round 4. Sam uses $300B to pay Oracle 5. Oracle stock pumps again 6. Larry makes another $100B 7. Larry invests in OpenAI Flywheel go brrr.

@Kitten_Sophie After the virgin Mary incident, doctors ain't taking no risks.

it’s weird how obsessed doctors are about wether or not their female patients are pregnant. I can tell them i’m not pregnant, just had my period, taken a test, haven’t had sex, sealed up my vagina with super glue, they’re still like NO I NEED YOU TO DO A TEST RN OK

@u_m_a_m_i @liquid2ulu He is an Objectivist of sorts. So like what Ayn Rand had said about it "Objectively good art" is a selective re-creation of reality that clearly and intelligibly projects a rational, heroic view of human potential and a benevolent universe. Or something like that, idk

@liquid2ulu Who decides the standards then? You?

Sometimes I get frustrated with the stuffiness of contemporary art institutions, but then I remember morons like this exist and realize they need to go further.

@Smthingedgy @liquid2ulu @CEOofFuggy I thought he was hinting at fan Pokémon games, like Pokémon Uranium, which the development team got multiple DMCA takedown notices and legal thteats from Nintendo of America sent to the developers door step. If fan games can be struck down by IP holders, so would AAA games afaik

@liquid2ulu @CEOofFuggy That is actually an entirely different can of worms because the Palworld lawsuit you're hinting at is happening in Japan. So say America and Europe end up ditching IP law. What makes you think Japan or China will follow?

>problem with software companies >look inside >problem caused by IP >solution: make government infinity times bigger

@Lormif1 @liquid2ulu I think you are mistaking anarchy with anomie. Maybe anarchy leads to anomie, but that definition is not in line with original meaning. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomie etymonline.com/word/anarchy

@liquid2ulu Anarchism is no rules. 1.a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority or other controlling systems. I do not believe that about the government at all. How are you going to ensure they have the correct philosophy?

Freedom is slavery.

@KimAhl13 Reminds me of this article: mises.org/mises-wire/wha… In essence, in politics, you should never water down your message, like the abolitionist movement in the US. Because the masses and elite will meet you half way. Don't make them meet half way of your compromise. Make them.

PSA #Politics You can NEVER tolerate intolerance. You can NEVER respect the disrespectful. You can NEVER include the excluding. "Let's meet in the middle says the unreasonable man." You take a step forward. He takes three steps back. "Let's compromise." he repeats.

@KimAhl13 When anyone mentions US and drinking water, I can't help but remember this skit. youtube.com/watch?v=PvIky3…

Jebus... I know the US is a third world country that struggles with clean water and shit. But I just found out how fucked their banking and loans are... Like, FUCK. 590 % interest? In my country, crimes are ILLEGAL. But the US? "Just pay your crime tax, sir!". (And be a corpo)

@KimAhl13 I think Superman could feel it? Without any feeling he'd probably end up crushing people's hands when shaking them. The not feel a bullet in the eye is probs in reference to pain or just not hyper aware touch. Like we don't think about the bottom of feet when standing actively.

Super Sex. Hear me out; we all know the joke about "super dickjaculation" taking down a plan. Some know about super pussgasm that would crush dicks. And like: Lois would HAVE to top Clark due to super strength. BUT: Would he even FEEL it? He can't feel a bullet on his eyeball..

@KimAhl13 Sad that a lot of h-games with super female MCs that have sex with enemies to subdue them never play into puss crush Like they let enemy fuck them until they, the enemy, cums? Their should be a h-game with morality system where the MC can choose to spare the enemy or not, lol
