  • [HN] How critical theory is radicalizing high school debate

    Jump

  • Since the article is paywalled, what‘s the author‘s solution to the so called problem of CRT limiting political debate?

  • What do you like to do on a "do nothing" day?

    Jump

  • Around 4 times a year I get a whole weekend for myself. Sometimes I don’t even tell any friends that I’m alone at home. Oh boy. As a father of two, these weekends are better than anything else.

  • So what are the climate change denialists in your life saying right now?

    Jump

  • (Sorry, English is not my first language)

    If I understand you correctly you criticize my usage of the word existential, bc it implies that the climate catastrophe will kill all humans? If yes, then I have to correct myself. While this could be a possible outcome, it’s not based on actual research.

    Jump

  • People are already dying because of the heat or starving because of droughts and water scarcity. Based on the IPCC report it will become even worse, especially of we don’t manage to avoid the tipping points of the climate crisis in the next few years.

  • Rockstar Website Update Adds Evidence For Red Dead Redemption Remaster | TheGamer

    Jump

  • Friendly reminder that it’s not about denial anymore. It’s about how urgent is the existential threat of tipping points and how radical and fast should we act.

    One side says, let’s stay reasonable, let’s not hurt the economy, don’t panic because of the these crazy Greta maniacs. Source: We managed a lot of crisis in the past, sometimes it’s not that hot, lobby money.

    The other side says we have to hit the breaks immediately or a lot of people are going to die. Source: Science.

  • Unfassbar. Passt aber in mein bisheriges Bild.

    • Klima“panisch“ scheinen diejenigen zu sein, die die Warnungen internationaler wissenschaftlich fundierter Metastudien kennen und ernst nehmen. Diejenigen drängen auf möglichst baldige Umsetzung und radikale Änderungen.

    • Als „vernünftig“ geben sich diejenigen aus, die den Knall noch nicht gehört/die Dringlichkeit noch nicht begriffen haben. Und wie hier Klima nicht mal von Wetter unterscheiden können. Die fordern Ruhe, Reförmchen.

    Macht ihr ähnliche Beobachtungen? Wie ist es möglich, denen die Dringlichkeit bewusst zu machen?

  • Fortnightly Recommendations Thread: What do you suggest?

    Jump

  • Heroes of the Storm! Pick one out of over 80 heroes to fulfill your role in a team of 5 and try to destroy the other team‘s core.

    Blizzard‘s take on the MOBA genre is something I come back to from time to time.

    The character and map design is awesome and one match allows you to level up your character to counter enemy strategies and be become the kind of healer/tank/mage/dps/supporter your team needs.

    It‘s awesome. And free.

  • [TECHCRUNCH] Facebook surpasses 3 billion monthly active users

    Jump

  • Facebook has more than 3 billion monthly active users, according to Meta’s latest quarterly report. That’s quite the staggering number. Even though Facebook has declined in popularity among younger people, the platform is far from dead. Across Meta’s entire family of apps — which includes WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and now Threads — there were 3.88 billion monthly active users. That’s almost half of the world population.

    Milestones are fun, but perhaps more importantly for Meta and its investors, daily active users have continued to grow too. Facebook has 2.064 billion daily active users, up from 2.037 billion last quarter. That growth is pivotal, because in the final quarter of 2021, Facebook reported its first-ever quarterly decline in daily active users.

    This growth could be driven in part by Reels, the TikTok copycat feature that Meta has been pushing heavily across Instagram and Facebook. According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Reels get 200 billion plays per day across the family of apps.

  • What are some must watch Documentaries?

    Jump

  • Dirty Wars is a 2013 American documentary film about American foreign policies and war crimes. It was the first time that I heard about their manipulations, wars and assassinations.

  • Looking for party game suggestions!

    Jump
    • Wavelength (team based guessing game)
    • Ready Set Bet (horse race-themed betting game)
    • Cartographer (everybody tries to draw a map, it‘s not that interactive though)

    could be a good start!

  • Race/Roll for the Galaxy, Jump Drive, New Frontiers: Where to begin?

    Jump

  • I wrote 3.5X-lite because it looks like you explore new planets and technologies, expand on them, exploit them and fight against other players…? Ofc we‘re not talking about Twilight Imperium here, that’s why I wrote „lite“ but I‘d love to see New Frontiers giving me a feel of that. I could be totally wrong, I never played it, only saw the pics on bgg.

  • I‘m admiring Hero Realms atm. The app version looks much better than Star Realms, but both are great games!

  • Race/Roll for the Galaxy, Jump Drive, New Frontiers: Where to begin?

    Jump

  • That‘s some great advice, thank you so much!

    And yes, I own Res Arcana and love it! After that, when I bought Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition people compared it to RftG. This Lehmann guy (and his silly BGG pic) often times pops up, when I research interesting games. Today in a podcast people praised Jump Drive what convinced me to take a deeper look into Lehmann‘s games.

  • Race/Roll for the Galaxy, Jump Drive, New Frontiers: Where to begin?

    Jump

  • Thank your for your awesome writeup, BigilusDickilus. If you had to choose one, which would you pick? They all sound awesome!

    Initially I prefered Jump Drive to play with my wife and kids. The RftG design looks a little bit outdated. But your description made me reconsider, they sound great.

    On the other hand New Frontiers could be the 3.5X-lite space themed game I‘m looking for (I‘m considering Gaia Project, but it doesn‘t have fleets, Eclipse, but it is too heavy, Tiny Epic Galaxies is too light, Warp‘s Edge is too expensive and not available in German, … sigh).

  • Recap Monday Week 27 - What did you play last week?

    Jump

  • First time Machi Koro 2! I just love these games with setups that differ every time you play and that let you choose your own strategy.
