New disks?

They haven't made floppies for years now, iirc.

The "reverse Midas touch", everything he touches turned to putrid shit.

I disagree. You're pretty on target with that.

The diversity we have as a species is -and always has been- our greatest strength. It means a subset of us can usually do at least "ok" under any given situation.

The same thing is what made some poxy little island able to rule a vast swathe of the planet. The UK took the best of everything it encountered, and added it to it's own, like the Borg. Of course, like everywhere else that's run by plutocrats, in an effort to keep us all divided anything "foreign" is currently bad, and to be shunned.

It decays, like the physical body. Entropy comes for everything in the end.

"Ignorance is bliss"

That would be the consciousness that lives in the meat puppet, the experiences of life shaping it the whole time.

Not a soul, per se, just an accident of physics. Something as yet unquantifiable, but definitely something. Quite possibly something involving quantum physics, which would explain the difficulty in determining what makes us, us.

We've discovered that a number of life forms appear to use quantum effects in some way, the ones I remember were navigation oriented (ba dum tish). Having existing examples of biology making use of the quantum world makes the idea much less of a stretch.

Food for thought. 💛

I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(

Graphics system usually. Back in the day I used to be able to tell where on the screen the cursor was from the pitch of the coil whine.

I buy better hardware nowadays 😂

This needs putting on billboards, I'm fed up of bringing this to people's attention. With a slight wording tweak, it's applicable to a worldwide audience too.

Anything is dangerous shit with enough of an idiot at the helm.

Drugs are more regulated than guns in the US for fuck's sake. That there should be enough.

I bet the mental gymnastics routine to justify that is straight tens.

There's nothing stopping the modder hosting it somewhere that is tolerant or even supportive of their ignorant beliefs.

No-one is making any way be the only option.

Nexusmods isn't the only place it could be, just to state that again, in simple enough terms it might make a dent.

Once more, just to be sure; Nexusmods has no control over other file hosting services, ergo they cannot "make it their way". They can only choose what to have on their own site, nowhere else.

Did that penetrate your tin foil hat?

Also:

Modding a game to suit what you wanna play isn't intolerant.

It is when it's stated aim is to erase the existence of a specific subset of individuals based on a protected characteristic.

It is, in fact, almost the very fucking definition of intolerance.

You're either completely ignorant and arguing for the sake of it, or you support, and are arguing for, sowing more of this kind of pointless culture wars shite.

(Which was created by the rich, solely to distract us all from the long overdue class war. Kill the fucking rich, not the other poor bastards in the same boat as you. 👍)

You're describing gmod, if the engine wasn't... Well, like it is.
