-are you getting ads/shorts/brainrot shoved in face every single second?

No, but I don’t get that elsewhere either. You may need to update your adblocker. Or install more than one (one for web stuff and sponsorblock to get YTers doing their own ad reads).

SEO was inevitable. That what is optimal to be seen in a search is not what is most useful for the end user is a failure of search engine algorithms to properly penalize that shit.

to prove the fucking obvious(that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism)

Eh, there were a few studies that showed a link including one of the largest ones. Now I get to move this from the “very unlikely but possible” column to the “almost certainly false” column.

There’s a pretty wide spectrum with autism, ranging from “a few quirks” to “nonverbal and more or less totally incapable of taking care of themselves, ever”.

I would ask about the “again” on the chemical weapons in the toilet thing, but I was the kid that played with low grade explosives and chemistry “projects” at that age. Got annoyed when my homemade napalm was caustic enough it started to eat through the container I’d made it in.

Mine does, but that only started after a severe hypoglycemic incident during which I have no memory of about 2 hours, drove about ten miles, wrecked my car, and was found on a sidewalk. EMT report says my sugar was unmeasurably low and it took an IV and oral gel to get it up to 35, which is where it was when my memory comes back coherently. First thing I remember at that point was the sting of the IV in my arm and then my finger, seeing the 35, the EMT noticing I was looking at him and getting a battery of general awareness questions.

EDIT: Holy fuck my spelling was bad on this one.

So his ‘genius’ anyways eluded me

His genius is entirely about being very good at picking the right companies to invest in, and having an ego big enough to pretend that he’s behind their creations himself. Except maybe the cybertruck, that one feels very Elon.

Wouldn’t make a difference. We’ve got him for a bare minimum of at least another year and six days. Otherwise it would count as a term for Vance. They’ll Weekend at Bernie’s his bloated corpse for a year if they have to for that.

There was a slice of time even farther back where you’d eat Taco Bell because you could get an absolute fuckton of food for very little money, even compared to other fast food.

Isn’t she the one who wanted to be cast as Princess Zelda that a surprising number of terminally online folks were super angry about because trans?

Dragon Breaks, a dragon break is what happens when time becomes non linear the fun thing is that it can be both retroactive and postactive. The ending of Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall is sometimes theorized to have caused a dragon break so massive that it basically rewrote the setting with its shockwave. This is admittedly just an in universe way of explaining retcons.

Notably these are called Dragon Breaks because the god of time Akatosh is represented as a dragon and a Dragon Break is essentially time and causality just sort of having a stroke for a bit. Multiple versions of events that could have happened did, regardless of being mutually exclusive and some combination of their outcomes is what sticks when things are over and normality resumes.

I kind of suspect TESV: Skyrim will get referred to as a dragon break later in the timeline, with things like exactly who won the civil war being one of those things where there are clear memories and clear records of both sides winning, where two different people were the Jarl of each hold, etc. How that lands afterward when things settle I don’t know. Hopefully in the least helpful possible way for the Thalmor.

Ooh, good to know. Might have to actually try it out sometime. It’s been years since I played Morrowind.

There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.

It’s been years since I played. Will OpenMW work with original MW mods, and if not what does it’s modding scene look like?

it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.

…and it still leaves a back route to complete the main quest. You just have to murder the living god who is a mantling of Mephala to start the alternate route.

the amount of lore to explore is HUGE

…and then you come up for air after reading the 36 Sermons of Vivec, realizing that very basic steganographic techniques were used to conceal at least a couple of hidden messages withing them and the start branching out from there into trying to understand the concepts of CHIM and the Towers and Amaranth and so on trying to wrap your head around the metaphysics of the setting.

Wiping out Huntington’s would be a genocide in the most literal possible sense.

To be fair, if not for the whole massively immoral and unethical part, we could wipe out Huntington’s in a generation or two with mandatory testing and sterilizations. But again that whole massively immoral and unethical thing.

fertility as in fucking, not fertility as in reproducing

One often leads to the other, unless prevented from doing so.

The bubble where he can’t just download some freely available tools and a model file around 10GB and make something like that on basically any gaming computer from the last 5 years by typing in a description? Because that’s not going away - only the massive investment circle-jerks throwing money at things with no real product, no solid idea of what a product would look like and no plan of ever turning a profit are going away, and possibly causing a recession in the process.

Oops that’s eugenics!

Eh, eugenics work. If not dog breeds wouldn’t exist.

We’re just really, really bad at agreeing on what genes are good ones and attempts at filtering for good genes in humans tend to more or less immediately become about skin color because of course they do. And also it being basically impossible to do without massive human rights violations.

But being difficult, massively immoral and unethical and usually in practice just an excuse for simple racism doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.
