You’ve heard of no true Scotsman, well that’s compared to me, the only true Scotsman. Everything I am is all things that are forever and not, therefore the fallacy isn’t.

  • It’s a game version of what you imagined the little Lego vehicles you pretended to create as a kid did in your imagination. It’s pretty fun, kinda grindy in campaign mode, but at least worth an afternoon if you like any other vehicle building pseudo engineering game.

    And yes there is multiplayer, including multi-single player where other people’s vehicles invade your world. It’s balanced enough that you shouldn’t usually get curb stomped by them.





  • Cops have qualified immunity in the US; while there’s a larger legal definition of more or less means a cop that can argue they were acting in good faith can break the law and violate constitutional rights isn’t going to be punished in any meaningful way.

    This is summed up in the very American phrase: you can beat the charge but not the ride. If a cop in the US wants to arrest you, you’re spending at least a night in jail. Charges might get dropped in the morning, you might have a valid lawsuit against the department, you might easily win in court, but you will be going to jail if a cop has decided you will be in jail.









  • The old adage isn’t just for show; if you’re up against a state actor, or believe you need to secure yourself against a state actor, you’re fucked.

    That being said if you’re not already secured against the 5/13 eyes and you think Trump makes a difference you’re too naive to ever be targeted and nothing you do matters to them.

    Trump makes no difference in terms of the US government attempting to breach privacy. Every anti privacy measure the US has ever pushed has been bipartisan, including the patriot act which was written by Joe Biden. You’re not paranoid enough or far too paranoid.

    “lately”? This is foundational to the entirety of left wing thought.

    The left starts at abolition of capitalism and by extension corporate profit. If you disagree with that, you’re simply not left wing in any way, you would be better off in right wing or far right sites like reddit or Facebook. They’re their product of your beliefs, stick to them.


  • It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There’s more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.
