I really like the pace of each story thread. They do a good job of making the characters actually do things in a way that you would expect the character to do them as well. If that makes sense.

I think we got a lot more answers this season than I even anticipated, but I'm left with just as many questions and that excites me.

Putin's image is manufactured. He's an evil bastard, and a feeble old man

Ah, I tried to be as vague as possible, so you shouldn't be spoiled on it at least. Maybe I'll give it a shot when it goes on sale.

We do have a reputation system, but it is being changed. Personally, I think a points system for posts will bring us right back to what Reddit was.

You should post for the sake of engaging with the community you are posting to, but many accounts were repost bots because of the karma system.

Have you read the Three Body Problem or Children of Time?

Those are the most imaginative Sci Fi works that I can think of.

I think the Expanse also does a really good job of bridging the gap between space opera and hard Sci Fi.

I'm okay with a walking simulator, but I'm not a fan of a standing simulator. There was way too much sitting and listening to keep me interested.

I loved firewatch, and I didn't get that feeling from it. It could just stand to be a little bit more interactive. It's very pretty though, I love the art and the design and the setting.

Be careful when dual booting. I've had to manually rebuild my partition tables way too many times because Windows doesn't like to play nice. That was dual booting from the same disk though so ymmv with a dedicated nvme.

As someone who works in a dairy manufacturing facility, you really aren't making sense.

You're describing fairly straightforward industrial processes.

There is bacterial growth in every single food manufacturing facility in the world. It's unavoidable.

That's why there is constant, and I mean constant cleaning. Stainless steel or silicon are used for any surfaces that the product touches, there is a TON of QA testing done specifically for allergens and bacteria. All factories are held to regulatory standards, I can't imagine this operation would be any less safe and compliant.

This is not a situation that requires nuance.

Who is being put out by rules that disallow this content?

I saw this person defending exploding-heads (Nazi instance) earlier so I imagine the line looks much different for them than for you.

You can create a rule for that area in your ad blocker, I got rid of it completely.

Do mods have the power to just nuke their subreddit? That'd be the biggest move. If a few big subreddits were to do this, that'd be an instant and significant loss.
