That makes [ju:sʒ], at worst, and [ju:ʃ], at best.

What about editing?

they're more than willing to resort to a threat display

If he's actually shouting, I'd take a step back, too. Consider my life choices, afterwards.

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out soon.

Thanks for the reminder!

Speaking of city builders, Cities:Skylines is a better SimCity that anything since SimCity4

Do you play with mods?

Far Cry 5. Haven't played, but the hype says the game's the shit.

Stellaris. It has DLCtitis like many of Paradox' titles, but it's very diverse. Lots of options to fiddle with during the multiple playthroughs.

In fact, any latest Paradox title: Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron IV, Crusader Kings II...

Alternatively, Endless Space II (a competitor to Stellaris) and/or Endless Legend (quite a unique strategy with a system based on Endless Space).

Civilization VI...

Am I getting drastically out of your interest borders?

Fortnite BR

And PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds (PUBG), if you're interested in that type of stuff.

That first one's funky.

That last one's handsome.

Mein Kamph

The book's called Mein Kampf. It's the "p" with "f" that makes it confusing to someone who doesn't speak German, where "pf" is common.

Now go ahead and explain how bringing up "mass hysteria" is anything other than an argumentative, insulting and counterproductive tangent to inject into this conversation. I'll wait.

No. I'm not playing this game. Seek fight elsewhere.

Problem is, there are many powerful players in the field.

Another problem is, I'd rather talk to people on the virtual street without feeling like I'm being watched.

I haven't lived through the Soviet Union, and I damn well would rather not.

By your argument, John Snow was a pseudoscientist.

Except qi does not cause mass epidemics... sans the ones our minds create.

There's no reason to codify "liver yin deficiency pattern" in a scientific taxonomy. The author notes how it might be useful for research and historical purposes. There's no reason to affirm unscientific beliefs within science. I'd rather the person in charge of my health only use science and nothing else.

After all, The ICD has been a staid and respectable body of terminology so far.

There are 14 000+ entries in ICD-10, according to (citation-needed text from) Wikipedia. Most of the lists I find online median to about 20 silly entries (like your "bitten by a cow"). 0.0014 is a decent margin of error for such a titanic amount of work.

I find multi-layer kitchen tissue does well with viscous liquids.

Too stressed to read.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, ironically.

Does anyone remember how community tags work?

In my (very) limited usage of those:

You get to set the community tag or change the existing one once. One user gets one set/change, after which they're no longer allowed to affect the community tag on the post. The change is permanent and overwrites the existing community tag.

Did you find any? I tried and failed.

Soon (or maybe not so soon if the US takes as long to implement ICD-11 as it did to implement ICD-11), I will be able to code for liver yin deficiency pattern (ICD-11 code SF50) or liver qi stagnation pattern (ICD-11 code SF57)

P.S. I have a massive deja vu about this article.

Daler Mehndi — Tunak Tunak Tun

Henry Rollins' tribute to Waylon Jennings' Lonesome, On'ry and Mean

(still not sure what on'ry means)

Since when is blogging a Real Job™? It's that thing youngsters do (despite, you know, the overwhelming evidence to the contrary). Why would they want to mix in with that myth?

There's also this film, bringing fiction into (purported) history.

How do you feel about the idea that Jesus did not exist, that he was a character or an inaccurate description of a real person?

CARS: "If he who comes to me does not love me more than his father, his mother..."

NRT: "If someone comes to me and does not hate his father, his mother..."

Do you like bees? Do you have bees? Would you like to have bees?

Have you read Camus' work?

(I have no idea what I expect to hear when I ask this, but:)

What do you think about it and about his philosophy in general?

it's whether or not Facebook is agile enough to change.

Perhaps I was too willing to look at things as set in stone when I put forth my argument.

The way I see it (which echoes what someone else — maybe you? — said in a different thread), if they're only thinking about changing things now, after such a massive and extensively-publicized cock-up, things are already too bad. I don't think there's coming back from that. Even if Facebook is revived, they aren't going to be the same thing they used to be... right?

Then I look at Reddit. I'd read the comment section on every one of the big, publicized Reddit derbies (remember "chairman Pao" and the Ellen Pao-Hitler memes?), where people swore off the platform en masse. 2+ years later, and Reddit's still alive and kicking. Voat's been getting enough of a sunlight that I occasionally see GIFs watermarked with the... whatever Voat's subreddit equivalent are, but it's not nearly as big (and, as Wikipedia says, full of alt-right member et al.).

So, the way I (so narrowly) see it: what does Reddit have that led to it staying afloat, and does Facebook have the same quality to it?

(I remember reading about how Facebook is very important in South-East Asia (Phillipines?) because for many people it's the only way to keep in touch with their families back home when they leave to other countries to look for work. That seems like a decent factor for it to stay afloat)

Some questions to think about.

You mean, from the perspective of the article? I don't agree with it (which isn't to say I disagree with it, either), but I'd like to answer those questions to explore the mindset.

How does it enable you to serve your fellow man?

You dedicate yourself to a cause, whether it's Jesus' teachings, a charity or even a software company's mission to better the world through their best means. As such, you succeed in improving lives of fellow men to whom you deliver your work.

How does it enable you to expand yourself?

In dedication to the cause, you learn how to be a better person to deliver your work. In the adventures that (usually) surround following a mission, you end up meeting people you wouldn't have met otherwise, and they can give you perspective that's priceless because it wouldn't have arrived to you any other way.

That said, one's self is irrelevant in the equation. One is but a vessel for the idea of making things better.

How does it enable you to examine and survive the difficulties of life?

By dedicating yourself to the cause, you find purpose. With purpose, many difficulties become much more bearable because in the end, you know you're going to achieve something great.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Hey, I took my time before reading what you said. I'm glad I did: after what kb and veen said, this sunk in better.

First of all, I'm so glad that you found what works for you. I'm always happy to hear that other people make good of their time on this planet. It's inspiring, too. I hope you keep sharing your progress: it helps people like me feel better about my chances.

I have a question, though. Have you ever felt, after you first, second or N-th 10 minutes were up, that you could just do more? If you did, did it feel, next day, like you can't mount that mountain anymore because you're not up for X times more than what you've initially set for yourself?

That's what always gets me with things like this: I come by a decent measured progress schedule, stick to it for a while (the most I've managed was three weeks, after which the mountain failure feeling set in) and fail when the next obstacle seems insurmountable, even though I've managed so far.

Or, do you ever feel overwhelmed by the responsibility or the perceived pressure of "having to" do something to continue the chain of habitual action?

Bernie's page on issues does not suggest his position. This seemingly fan-backed site has him "strongly support" net neutrality. Go figure.

P.S. Reason.com has a lot to say about Sanders. Just google his name.

P.P.S. Why is Bernie's Senate web page so good, but his mailing list annoying subscription popup so ugly?
