I was trying to resolve the ambiguity between “this account” (which is indeed an object) and “the people here”.

I try not to misgender, so I have edited it to “they”. Not because I respect anything an advertiser says though.

Everyone arguing with this account needs to realize that they might as well be talking to an LLM. Look at how advertisers think:

Just like an LLM can’t distinguish between truth and fiction they can’t distinguish between meaningful information and advertising BS. The people here will never win their argument against them because they classify all human communication as an act of manipulation, so the definition of advertising will be made more and more broad until they say “look, you were swayed”.

For awhile a lot of urbanist positions could have either come from the left or the right, but eventually reactionaries reacted and now its pretty much exclusively left wing.

I didn’t know DMT came in vape form. What a time to be alive.

I see

I don’t think I follow your comment.

Nowadays that could just be an external drive bay with a few HDDs + ZFS.

Or if you just want to rawdog it with no redundancy they make single hard drives with 20 TB capacity now.

You joke, but it has been successfully argued in court that advertisers can lie to you because no reasonable person would believe that advertisements are truthful.

Here’s what I would want in a remake:

The glowing tree nodes that you have to kill are scattered around the city / temple complex. You must traverse the city to reach them, but can tackle them in any order.

While you do this witches of Izalith (or possibly the bed itself) try to spellsnipe you. You must dodge roll on the audio queue like dodging the channelers in the archives. Maybe there are also vine walls you have to break open while this is happening.

With each tree node you kill the temple complex falls apart more and more, cutting paths off and opening up new ones. The floor beneath you might collapse and take you to underground hallways where you have to fight demons. Regardless of the changes it should be fairly obvious where to go, as solving a maze while getting shot at isn’t fun.

Just like with the normal bed your damage carries over between deaths.

Reminds me of this copypasta:

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a clapping, As of ass cheeks gently clapping, clapping at my chamber door.

“tis a visitor,” i muttered, “dummy thicc, and nothing more”

I’m reminded of when Elden Ring first came out and we had a little panic attack about how much harder it was than other souls games.

Then like a year later it was widely considered to be the easiest Fromsoft game (if you’re just doing the required content).

Corn beats it out, and by some reckonings so does rice. Pumpkins too.

There are a few more exotic plants like tigernut and duckweed that are supposed to be really high, but not many people eat those as a staple crop. Palm oil and sugar cane are supposed to be super high too, though you probably don’t want to be eating huge quantities of straight oil and sugar.

Finally there are a few tropical trees like jackfruit and breadfruit that produce enormous quantities of calories once mature. They have a huge advantage from their large leaf crowns and root systems (that they don’t have to periodically regrow like annual plants) + the tropical weather allowing production for the entire year.

In biblical scholarship, this is referred to as eisegesis, where you read an interpretation into the text, rather than allowing the text to speak for itself.

This has reached such a level among US Christians that they often pick out single sentences to quote with little to no regard for the rest of the text it’s come from. Like, never mind reading the book with the context of its origin in mind, or even the context of the rest of the book, when the context of the sentences directly before and after the thing you’re referencing are being ignored.

When this is the text that’s being referenced: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+4%3A9-17&version=NIV

There’s nothing wrong with multi grain bread of course, but that’s clearly not some sort of special holy bread recipe that will bless you if you eat it.

They all started killing each other because plasmid use makes you psychotic, unless you can afford to keep taking more and more.

They all started taking plasmids because they needed to compete in the workplace (then later, in the war) or end up homeless / dead.

Plasmids were legal in the first place because Randism, being based 100% on individual responsibility, doesn’t believe that things like feedback loops or cumulative effects can happen at a societal level, and so doesn’t believe in regulations.

Plasmids are a pretty clear metaphor for dehumanizing yourself to serve the market, especially because the Randian superman is a psychopath that is only self interested.

But even without plasmids the fact that the worlds elite were brought down to Rapture, yet (to quote an audio log) “we couldn’t all be captains of industry, someone had to scrub the toilets” bred a huge amount of resentment from people who felt scammed and now trapped down there. Just like in the real world the markets in BioShock rely completely on low level workers to be able to function, and yet punish them for being in that position.

Do you think she gets called a “wholesome chungus” too?

Fascists might be human people, but I’ve lost faith in human people. I kinda don’t even want to keep being one myself.

I agree with you then, you can’t make a good webpage if your boss tells you to fill it with garbage.

If your motivation is to see old html pages, with minimal style, well it’s impossible to do them reliably.

Not only should your site be legible without JS, it should be legible without CSS, and infact without rendering the effects of the HTML tags (plain text after striping the tags).

At one point in time this was the standard, that each layer was an enhancement on top of the one below it. Its seems that web devs now cannot even imagine writing a news article or a blog post like, something that has the entirety of its content contained within its text. A plain .txt file renders “reliably” on anything. You are the one adding extra complexity in there and then complaining that you’re forced to add even more to deal with the consequences of your actions.

If by “take it into account” you mean they said “political parties sure are bad” then not implement anything into the system to discourage their formation, then proceed to form political parties themselves a decade or so later, then sure.
