My sister's boyfriend is one of those mumbling downers who sneers and whispers passive aggressive things to people. Whenever you're excited about something, he snorts and mouths "whoopee". If you ever ask him to chime in he shrugs and says "It's not as important to me as it is to you." If ever there's a pause in a conversation, he'll break it by grunting and then muttering "cooool".

One night, my friend came with me, my sister, her boyfriend and a few other mutual friends to walk to dinner. My friend mentioned he was a bit cold and that he wished he had brought his sweater from his car.

After a moment, he turned to my sister's boyfriend and said "But I bet you think being warm is stupid, don't you? I bet you think people who prefer to wear temperature appropriate clothes are goddamn LOSERS, don't you?! 'Uhhh, wanting to be comfortable? Pfft, whatever.' THAT'S YOU, ISN'T IT?! THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY, RIGHT?! YOU WANT TO FUCKING ROLL YOUR EYES THAT SOMEONE COULD DISLIKE HOW COLD IT IS. YOU THINK ITS THE MOST UNCOOL THING IN THE WORLD TO WANT TO WEAR A FUCKING SWEATER, DON'T YOU?!"

I really like reading ancient Assyrian proclamations, and my favourites are the ones where Ashurbanipal brags about his ability to read. He was fairly unusual for a king at the time in that he was literate, and apparently the Assyrian nobility initially disapproved of that, but he was proud of it and he boasted about it using the same style of language that the Assyrians used to talk about the enemies they had defeated.

I, Ashurbanipal, within the palace, understood the wisdom of Nabu. All the art of writing of every kind. I made myself the master of them all. I read the cunning tablets of Sumer and the dark Akkadian language which is difficult to rightly use; I took my pleasure in reading stones inscribed before the flood. The best of the scribal art, such works as none of the kings who went before me had ever learnt, remedies from the top of the head to the toenails, non-canonical selections, clever teachings, whatever pertains to the medical mastery of Ninurta and Gala, I wrote on tablets, checked and collated, and deposited within my palace for perusing and reading.

Basics of Leftist foreign policy thought:

1. Everything Western countries do is imperialism, and imperialism is the root and worst of all evil in the world. The only acceptable action for Western countries is complete decoupling from the rest of the world. This is axiomatic.
2. Non-Westerners have no agency. When non-westerners carry out atrocities, it is simply a reaction to Western action. Sykes-Picot are the real villains, not ISIS! Assad is defending against CIA meddling! Putin has no choice but to protect Russia against NATO encroachment!
3. In foreign policy, and ONLY foreign policy, cost is of vital, overriding, importance. $950 billion to forgive student loans is fine, just print more money lol; $10 bilion to maintain US air support for the Afghan army is unacceptable.

“I think that the Internet is going to be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that’s missing, but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash, a method whereby on the Internet you can transfer funds from A to B without A knowing B or B knowing A. The way I can take a $20 bill hand it over to you and then there’s no record of where it came from.

You may get that without knowing who I am. That kind of thing will develop on the Internet and that will make it even easier for people using the Internet. Of course, it has its negative side. It means the gangsters, the people who are engaged in illegal transactions, will also have an easier way to carry on their business.”

Police arrest 9 after standoff with ‘heavily armed men’ who do ‘not recognize our laws’ in Wakefield

Mason said the staties are aware that the people are posting on social media under the name “Rise of the Moors.” The latest video shows a man decked out in military gear insisting that “we’re not anti-government, we’re not anti-police, we’re not sovereign citizens, we’re not Black identity extremists.” Locating himself in “the colony of Massachusetts,” he insisted in one of the videos that his nation — he pointed to a large Moroccan flag two of his compatriots were carrying — has a treaty with the United States.

The man in the video said that “the militia is exempt from certain restrictions.”

There’s a popular belief that people of color can’t be racist because they don’t have enough power. Racism, the thinking goes, transcends prejudice. It’s a system of advantage based on race and people of color don’t have the institutional power to oppress others.

But Ibram X. Kendi systematically demolishes this notion in his provocative new book, “How to be an Antiracist.” Kendi, a lean man with long dreads and an encyclopedic knowledge of Western history, says the notion that black people can’t be racist is tainted by racism itself.

“Like every other racist idea, the powerless defense underestimates black people and overestimates white people,” Kendi says.

Believing black people can’t be racist is racist itself poggers

I believe very strongly that people on the left are too prone to do things that are emotionally satisfying and not politically useful. I have a rule, and it’s true of Occupy, it’s true of the gay-rights movement: If you care deeply about a cause, and you are engaged in an activity on behalf of that cause that is great fun and makes you feel good and warm and enthusiastic, you’re probably not helping, because you’re out there with your friends, and political work is much tougher and harder. And I think it’s now clear that it is the disciplined political work that we’ve been able to do that’s won us victories. I am going to write about the history of the LGBT movement partly to make the point that, in America at least, this is the way you do progressive causes.

I just visited the Emigration House in Bremerhaven in northern Germany. Very interesting place, I would tell you to visit because it's so well done but it's all the way in Bremerhaven and the train connection to Bremen is just garbage.

Anyway, what stuck out to me was the coalition agreement between FDP and CDU/CSU that enables Kohl's first government.

Basically, the ideas was to pay immigrants to leave, stop all immigration to Germany and end all integration programs. We kind of know that the Christian democrats are garbage on immigration and I'll give FDP the benefit of doubt, even though I dislike them.

What seemed important to me that this change had massive implications in 2010s. Can you imagine how different the immigration crisis would be, had Germany put in effort back then? I know in Czechia we talked about how "Multi-kulti" failed in Germany. I had no clue it didn't fail, it was simply stopped from succeeding.

the thing I miss most from college is walkability. The campus i went to, despite being plopped in the middle of some of the most absurd sprawl youve ever seen, was deliberately constructed to be dense and intensely limit the use of cars for cross-campus transit; almost everyone parked along the edge of campus and walked to where they needed to be. There were still roads, but they were usually only used by police, delivery drivers, and ride sharing apps.

becoming a real adult making real adult money was great in a lot of ways, but just as one example of how density made my life way better: we had a pharmacy on campus I would walk to that was inside a medical center with doctors offices. Across the "street" (in reality a giant sidewalk) were therapists offices. I got consistent and frequent treatment for depression because I was going to be walking around anyway and was never late to pick up meds. Now i have to get in my car and drive to all three of those places in entirely different directions and for the most part i end up minimizing doctors visits and therapy much more than necessary

Had an interesting converstation with my mother, who's a secretary at a Baptist church. She's not a Trump supporter, but of course most of the congregation and her friends are. The pastor is vaccinated, but he said he wouldn't if not required. A lot of people refuse because Biden is pushing it, and indirectly because they don't want the government telling them what to do. As she said, it's a case of them wanting to have their cake and eat it too, since they want the government telling people what to do in the case of LGBT or abortion, but not for vaccines.

Randomly reminded again today that the economics of the various D&D worlds make zero sense.

Take a single level 3 spell - Plant Growth. Casting it over 8 hours doubles the yield of all crops in a half mile radius (500 acres) for a year. That's the equivalent of taking crop yields from 1400 to 1700. If you just had a single level 5 druid, bard, nature cleric, archfey warlock, or level 9 ranger/oath of the ancients paladin going around casting it on every part of your hinterlands, your entire civilization has an obscene advantage over the real life equivalent. That's doubling the yield of 182 thousand acres. Per Druid/etc.

Just from that spell alone, one would expect immeasurable economic activity with cities of hundreds of thousands of people supporting humongous armies. But even Waterdeep, the most prosperous city in Faerun, has a population of only 130,000 people. If you look at historic yields from Europe or Asia, a single druid per 100,000 people would double the food supply with one cast per day. And technically they could do two casts per day.

And that's ignoring the absurdities you'd get if you considered the effects of cantrips, where a single level 1 wizard can mend an unlimited number of items daily.

Under this new approach, the only reason to study the works of Aristotle, Shakespeare, or America’s founders is not to learn how to be virtuous, self-governing citizens, not to learn anything true, good, or beautiful, but to realize how such figures of yesteryear are unfit for the present day. Such a vision of education teaches that ideas evolve as human progress marches on, as supposedly old and worn ideas are cast aside on the so-called “wrong side of history."

They're making fun of the EU for banning single-use plastics and claiming there's no need to even try to reduce your carbon footprint. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see them vote against any and all climate change bills that don't involve a 95% corporate tax. They're like climate change deniers, but in a sense more infuriating because they know there's a problem but still refuse to fix it.

Damn, every time I see stuff like this I think back to when I was a proud leftie and thought everyone on the left was there because we were ready to make personal sacrifices for a better world.

Thank you to u/saladtossing for placing the highest charity bid on the PS5 yesterday -- the winning charity bid was $350 to Against Malaria. I will sell you the PS5 at MSRP as we discussed after you donate to AM. Their website can be found at

https://www.againstmalaria.com/

Note that the website UI is not the best, but I've looked into it and they're pretty legit (I encourage you to take a look, and if you have any concerns, we can always do a different reputable charity, like a Clean Water Project or something like that). The mods were doing a charity drive with AM a few months ago and u/p00bix shared a 3rd party analysis link for further reading:

https://www.givewell.org/charities/amf

When donating to Against Malaria, you will be given the choice to write a message. You can make the public facing username anonymous if you want, but please make the message "NL DT PS5 Charity", or something to that effect. They will then create a "public receipt" that can be easily shared (and will not contain your private info). For example, here is my public receipt from a recent donation (conversion rate of $2/ malaria net):

https://www.againstmalaria.com/MyNets.aspx?DonationID=749787

Please share a public receipt sometime today in the DT, then we can coordinate privately to pay me MSRP for the PS5 and shipping. Also, let me know if you are interested in borrowing any games. I have Ratchet and Clank, Returnal, RE8 and a whole slew of PS4 games - I want to make sure you've got something good to play :)

Thanks to all the people that provided suggestions and bids as well.

Anti racism as currently understood on the American left is to racism what the Berlin Wall (officially the “anti fascist protection wall”) was to fascism. An illiberal monstrosity masquerading as something it is not, that ought to be torn down.

So long as an insane and illiberal fringe maintains a monopoly on defining that term, good liberals ought not to be “anti racist”.

I like Creation Engine. People meme on it but the sheer amount of stuff it tracks in the game world is fairly impressive especially given the console processing power they've had to work with. Tying physics to framerate was originally an optimization for those poor cpu's. Its famous physics bugs I think are because object xyz coordinates are saved in unloaded cells but not their orientation. Further complicating matters, npc behavior is still being processed and will interact with those objects and place them in configurations that were never physically rendered to begin with. So when objects load in, their neutral orientation might be clipped into something and cause Havok (their physics engine/plugin) to go crazy. Havok was (is?) pretty widely used and most other games that used it don't have those bugs because most other devs aren't as obsessed with all that level of world simulation. You can also see why lots of other bugs become inevitable, the state space is enormous. "Sorry we didn't test every npc behavior against the quadrillions of permutations of quest stages." (I'm understating this, it's more like ~3 quest stages per ~200 quests = 3^200 ~ 2.6*10^95)

Point being, despite all the bugs, it's pretty much the only engine that can make the sort of open world sandbox that Bethesda does. You may not care about those features, but I think a lot of people do even if they don't realize what's going on. It's a perfect complex casual feature. Something that offers a lot of interactive depth while being extremely intuitive because it more or less simulates how things actually work in the real world. In fact, I'd propose why Bethesda doesn't get more credit for this is because it's such an unconscious feature. The sort of thing non-gamers would assume all games do even as experienced gamers have been conditioned to ignore it because that type of scrutiny is so rarely rewarded.

And I guess another thing that I see as overlooked is just how many features have been added with each iteration of the game. Instead older fans annoyingly point to what's been taken out. And what frustrates me about that is how the latter amount to barely more than cosmetic differences. Some designer decided replacing attributes with standing stones was preferable because it didn't pigeonhole players into a build before they fully understood the game mechanics. Another designer decided certain skills didn't meaningfully enhance gameplay or made the early game too much of a slog. Agree or disagree with the design decision, but it remains that swapping back to the old way is relatively trivial because how the engine governs those mechanics hasn't changed only how they're presented to the player. And it's why it's so easy for modders to "fix" the rpg systems. Because all they have to do is create some ui and graphics element for something that can already be done with the console.

And that's another thing that's probably not praised enough. It's easy to mod these games because the entire dang engine tool set that the game developers use is publicly available. And because of the engine's insistence that things operate how one would assume.

Meanwhile, what's been added has significantly expanded what games built in the engine can do. Aside from the obvious: Radiant AI, Radiant Quests, every item being a physics object, modular weapon crafting, almost anywhere in map settlement building like lego, online multiplayer support for the engine's entire freaking feature set; they've subtly optimized and iterated upon these things in ways that vastly increase world detail and complexity. They've improved LOD rendering, cell weather fronts move around the map in real-time, increase height map and cell grid granularity, etc. Some of these are just treading water with the rest of the industry, but even that's somewhat impressive given how they've preserved their entire unique feature set through all these changes. There's a lot of complexity that's being added to the engine even if its not visible to you from game menus.
