Look on the bright side, all that plotting and scheming will make for a great series of tales for centuries to come

The whole culture seems sexually repressed, if you look at it. The internet loves to joke about holding hands being the culmination of porn, but it feels like they treat anything beyond touching hands as sexual

Might as well rename lemmy into crossings

Anyone who didn't get in on the first hour and sold 3 hours later, tops, was bound to lose money.

"If a girl losing virginity before marriage and marrying someone else is normal, then why not a girl falling in love with someone who raped her"

The first thing that comes to mind is because women are fucking human beings and not objects whose value is inversely proportional to how much dick she's taken.

But that's not what either of the guys complained about

Richard P. Gabriel, in his essay “The Rise of Worse-is-Better,” expounds on this theme (see Appendix A). His thesis is that the Unix design philosophy requires that all design decisions err on the side of implementation simplicity, and not on the side of correctness, consistency, or completeness. He calls this the “Worse Is Better” philosophy and shows how it yields programs that are technically inferior to programs designed where correctness and consistency are paramount, but that are evolutionarily superior because they port more easily. Just like a virus.

The highest achievement of the Unix-aesthetic is to have a command that does precisely one function, and does it well (...) This philosophy, in the hands of amateurs, leads to inexplicably mind-numbing botches like the existence of two programs, “head” and “tail,” which print the first part or the last part of a file, depending. Even though their operations are duals of one another, “head” and “tail” are different programs, written by different authors, and take different options!

People like elon have a very narrow view of who counts as "people", everyone else is "the enemy"

You forgot that the distilled ai is also evil and communist

Sounds like algorithmic surveillance (modern social media) applied to real life, which I think I've seen as a movie or black mirror episode

Ah, the good old days of PS1 and 2.

On PC, it was insert the disc, install (takes a while), keep disc in, run game, crash, troubleshoot, give up.
