  • This country would need another 250 years of progressive policies to undo the social and economic damage it has done through racist policy. 20 years of progressive politics can’t undo 2.5 centuries of racial exploitation and division.

    Let’s not forget additionally that the USs elected “progressive” politicians for the last two decades fall right of center by world standards as well. If the US would like to actually make progress (hint: it doesn’t, our geriopatrikyriarchy LOVES genocide and exploitation of smaller nations) they’d have to start by not calling the conservative party the left, and not calling the Nazi party the right.

    This nation has its head in the political sand so deep it can’t even see its own nose anymore, it will be well collapsed and already rebuilt before it realizes it’s a different nation run by different people.





  • Depends on the game, but also the context.

    Maybe this has changed since I’ve upgraded my gaming specs but I used to average 14 FPS on Kerbal Space Program and had a great time with it, docking is a nightmare at that frame rate but otherwise it’s more than playable.

    Back in my poverty gaming days I 100%-ed a pirated The Simpsons Hit and Run with potato graphics at slide show speeds, I’m talking like multiple seconds per frame with around 80% frame droppage.

    Nowadays I just care that it looks decent and runs smoothly for the games I play, which is mostly Civilization and Stellaris


  • 100% true there.

    As a 20 year user I can’t imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who’s been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.

    Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn’t belong and copy-pasting commands I didn’t understand into the terminal.

    Remember kids, if you don’t understand what you’re reading, you can break things by following instructions.




  • Hon I think you maybe misunderstood your chem class.

    Carbon is carbon is carbon and doesn’t know or care if it’s in a living body.

    Carbon-14 has a half life of 5700 years. This means that through random decay, the approximate rate of decay is one half of a given amount every 5700 years, this of course breaks down when you reach the single-digit quantities of atoms.

    Now, this has nothing to do with the stability of an atom of regular-ass carbon-12, your common garden variety carbon, which is extremely stable and would require outside influence to decay into another isotope.
