@possiblylinux127 Windows 11 is Windows 10 with worse Start menu.
@Shelbyeileen I have a pet theory, that religion is basically a hardware vulnerability exploitation. Vulnerability being “we can’t comprehend death, physically”. Because trying to reconstruct non-existence in our world model causes division by zero, and everything breaks because you can’t divide by zero and have meaningful results. So in order to avoid it, your brain bends its model of reality, starts telling itself fairy tales about the supernatural world, redefines death as “transformation”, and basically bullshits itself into avoiding facing the inevitable.

We have. Your consciousness just shuts down forever. You’re a mortician, you would know. We just can’t grapple with it.
@Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.
As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.
@flubba86 Yeah, it’s actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.
@Daft_ish Facebook’s making money selling *you* on Facebook. You are the raw material.
@Daft_ish If they are the ones who supplied your browser, they don’t have to pay shit.
@Daft_ish Why go through the trouble of asking you when they can ask your browser who will tell them everything instantly and also knows you better than you ever will?
@Violett_Queen I don’t think it’s already the case and we already generally do just do whatever we want, but are afraid to admit it to ourselves.
Also, are you talking about *gamy or *amory?
There’s distinction.
Polygamy is about just sex pretty much. Polyamory is about romantic relationships.
If the former, then, a lot of married people have sex outside marriage. It’s debatable how honest this is, most of it just cheating - but that already counts as polygamy.
If the latter… Unfortunately, we’re ways off universally recognizing this type of relationship. For shame.
There’s also the factor of polyamorous relationships being harder to maintain, requiring a lot more work to do properly. Despite what conservatives might say, this type of relationship demands MORE responsibility from all involved, not less. So, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and probably monoamory will be the default in most of the cases. But if you are willing and able pull it off, there’s nothing quite like it.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Solipsism? What?
Do you even understand what I’m trying to say?
@pinkdrunkenelephants Okay, whatever, looks like you don’t want to think about it, which is also fine, it’s kinda tough question.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Look, I commend and admire the power of thought-terminating cliches, they are useful (and this is part of my point as well), but still, I’d like an honest an answer:
Where Do You Think The Root Of All Authority Is?
I have my answer (or at least what I think describes the answer the best), but I’d like to hear from you.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Soo… Ultimately, it’s *you*, right? Or is there another answer?
@pinkdrunkenelephants No, no…
The dictionary is the source of authority for YOU.
What’s the source of authority for the dictionary? Where’s the root of all authority? Whom will you trust with this job?
@pinkdrunkenelephants
> authoritative
Fine. What is the source of this authority?
@InternetUser2012 I am Russian. Believe me when I say: most of us perfectly know what’s going on.
We’re just scared. That’s it.
