  • It's not supposed to be taken literally

  • Me, turning my colony vegetarian because I can't bring myself to slaughter my tamed animals

  • The robots

  • What a fucking shitstain

  • It's easy to point fingers, but I would bet any of us would buckle under the pressure of free pizza...

    "To see whether a small incentive could influence a decision about privacy, researchers offered one group of students a free pizza — as long as they disclosed three friends’ email addresses.

    An overwhelming majority of the students chose pizza over protecting their friends’ privacy. Differences in gender or their stated personal sensitivities to privacy did not seem to have any effect on the choice."

  • Graphic of ice cover for the Antarctic is truly terrifying

  • Done

  • It's a BBC alert, article is on their main page

  • It explains further down the key issues, with this admission from one of Raoult's team: "this study had no protocol, no inclusion criteria and no initial research question."

  • Jesus fucking Christ, just when you thought he couldn't sink any lower... The damage this idiot did to the scientific community and science communication is unimaginable.

  • I hear Greenland is quite balmy this time of the year

  • Better laugh than cry, I guess

    ‘We need a lot more’: Lack of firepower hampers Ukraine’s advance on Zaporizhzhia front line As Ukraine’s top army general has put it, every metre of ground in the country’s counteroffensive is being won “with blood”. The Ukrainian soldiers’ progress is particularly gruelling in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region. FRANCE 24’s Gwendoline Debono reports from the front line, where Russian forces are giving Ukraine’s artillerymen no respite.

  • Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.

  • Horizontal of course, we are not savages!

  • I've been on a Rimworld binge while away, one of the few games my laptop can handle and I have to say, it's sooooo good, and yes the temptation to rebuild everything from scratch to create the perfect colony is always so strong.

  • I find that with Terraforming Mars, even without the Turmoil extension, you can have card combos that add real complexity to the strategy, and you need to regularly adjust due to the luck of the draw factor. Turmoil adds an extra layer that makes your path even more tortuous. With Gaia Project, I feel everything is more streamlined. Terraforming doesn't feel heavy as such (I absolutely love it, I have played it so much) but the variety of paths seems larger than on GP. I also have to say that for me on Terraforming, it's more satisfying to create a coherent game, with choices that make sense for the corporation or the situation, than actually winning. I treat it almost as an RP game.

  • I know, right? So good, limitless replayability
