Hopefully it also gives Hezbollah time to rebuild and recover from the terrorist pager attacks, too. My only worry is Gaza and Yemen being left to fend for themselves during the genocide.

Turns out it's impossible to do a history podcast without involving politics lol. Also impossible to do one without radicalizing yourself.

Same thing happened with Mike Duncan and his Revolutions podcast now that I think of it. (I know I heard he's still affected by lib brain worms, he pretty clearly ended the podcast way lefter than when he started it.)

It has been pretty entertaining watching him dunk on Ethan Klein, but I get it.

I tried that game years ago and it broke down almost immediately after making a character. And that was after downloading the unofficial patch. Maybe I didn't put it in right or something, but that turned me off. Still want to play to one day, though...

One thing I forget to use a lot but are useful is synergy skills. They bump up the ATB of both synergy characters so try to mix them in every now and then, because they help speed up being able to use characters you aren't actively using.

Hell ya! Good news.

Not to mention some manager has to justify their existence by bringing in new ideas, and AI is the latest fad to do that.

I like the opening song 😳

But ya, the scene where they were diagetic was weird and out of place lol. I figured they were trying to do something like Samurai Champloo, where the anachronistic/out of place music was a purposeful stylistic choice.

So sounds like that tough on crime and drugs policy went well...

I think Harris and Biden are starting to realize they are losing the Arab Americans. It should probably be it's own thread but I wonder what people here think of this.

Did they say why? Or are they just letting people assume it's because of the comparisons of apartheid South Africa to Palestine?

What's some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don't just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it's organized.

I find often people can't envision past the society we have now. There's that quote, "It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism", and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that.

I've heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

I haven't read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.

Well, that takes understanding context, history, material conditions, class relations, some basic economics and philosophy.

Or, you can listen to the guy on the radio and the blonde on TV, who say it's the Mexican laborers, black thugs, Muslim terrorists, and Jewish bankers. Oh, and the gays. And liberal elite, college professors. And since everything in that list is easily categorizable as the one word "woke", it's clearly a simpler explanation.
