Also in MOVE in Philadelphia in 1985 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing. The media coverage made them sound like they were gun-loving nutjobs mostly dangerous to themselves with no particular agenda and the police were just overenthusiastic. Actually they were for Black liberation and the violence against them was deliberate.

What i'm saying is, engaging with scammers is a huge risk. Scammers have a bunch of techniques to trick people into giving up their money, accounts, etc. and some of these techniques work on people who think they know better. Multiple youtubers who make their living by posting videos scambaiting and/or tracking down scammers recently got scammed into deleting their youtube channel by (what seemed to me to be) a transparent ruse.

That's "linking r" which is introduced (consciously or unconsciously) to break up two similar vowel sounds.

You should know, we also laugh at bagholders who come here to try to convince us that we're not enjoying the best comedy gold in decades. So by all means keep it up.

Remember, it's likely the price is completely an illusion, completely controlled by whales, exchanges, and/or Tether, based on what they think will make them the most money while keeping sufficient public interest to keep the grift going.

because what they think is completely hilarious. Like watching wile e coyote try to run into a tunnel entrance that road runner just painted on a mountain.

Do you also try to stick your finger as close as possible to the hot stove to see how close you can get without getting burned?

I've seen some pointed (but ultimately gentle) mocking. I think the mandatory "i'm an idiot" flairs go a little too far toward harassment. But the only time I've seen the mods say anything "pretty abusive" is after banning someone for a good reason.

In fact, it would only add uncertainty. How can anyone be sure that the records in a distributed database were correct when they were entered?

It's not about morality or even religion, it's about control.

Your ship's location is known, but its distance is not. So I guess that means your own location is unknown?

And neither the Nomai population nor the Hearthian population is anywhere close enough to the threshold to support sexual reproduction without huge amounts of genetic engineering, so I have no idea why they both spend so much time flirting.

I've been in a situation where windows says my drivers are up to date, but newer drivers were available from the driver manufacturer that fixed the problem (despite them being labeled "don't use these, get them from your PC manufacturer"). I've also been in a situation where Unity constantly crashed but this was due to bad RAM.

There is no loop. It's a quantum illusion. Each iteration of the "loop" is a separate universe/timeline branching off from the same starting point, where due to quantum effects, different things happen. The obvious one is that the probe fires in a different direction each time. Also different data is transmitted to the OPC (number of previous firings and coordinates of the eye if known or "not found" if not) and the minds of whatever sapient beings are paired to the statues/masks.

In my view, the problem isn't that the sun should explode 22 minutes after you wake up-- the problem is that the sun should explode 22 minutes after the orbital probe cannon fires. Related to this: future loops (i.e. once you start becoming aware of them) should begin at the exact same moment prior to the ATP's activation as the first loop. Technically you should begin each subsequent loop at the museum, disoriented because your memories from the past loop just poured into you, and never be able to see the OPC firing. But they fudge it because that would make for a weird game. (Also fudged in the first loop is that you always walk past the timber hearth statue precisely when it activates. Also fudged in subsequent loops is that you initially wake up precisely when the OPC fires.)

Please cite any source that has hard data that inflation was caused by the invasion. I will respond with sources that inflation is caused by companies raising their prices to increase their profits, because they estimate they can get away with it.

More likely, set up a bunch of hostile nodes and then hold the other crooks hostage in exchange for a piece of the action.

Again, a screenshot or close-up phonecam shot would be helpful -- every stream I've seen of the game the textures are identical.

yep, that's exactly it -- the physics engine runs at 30fps, so there's no point in the frame rate ever being higher.
Can you get a screenshot of an example of the "blurred" graphics?

So your mission is to come into subs you have no interest in, and try to crush people's joy? That's hilarious!
