In Itsuno we trust. People won’t appreciate Dark Souls 1 level design as much if we can just teleport around bonfires. Huffing your ass from the depths of Blightown to the belltower in Undead Parish in less than 10 minutes makes you really appreciate the verticality and intricate level design

It is not quite fair to Japan because they do have strong pacifist history and somewhat functional communist party (amongst industrialized nations). Personally amongst countries I’ve visited, I think India is really fucked up with the literal class division among people, income inequality, Hindutva ideology, and a government that ignores its daily embarrassing domestic scandals while saber rattling against all of its neighbors.

Indonesia is also kinda fucked up despite its strong history of anti-colonialism, I guess this is what happened when you have a US-backed literal genocide of the members of once the largest communist party in Asia (literally, the Jakarta method), so there is literally no leftist remaining. Now a military general who committed that genocide is set to be the next President. But at least being a majority and most-populous Muslim country, Indonesia is incredibly pro-Palestine, there’s that.

However, honestly for more public support ToW has to get their shit together. How can you expect to run a country if you can’t get trains to run on time. For outsiders, Wales just nationalize their railway in 2021 and service under new management has been in shambles. Literally 1 in 2 trains are always late.

HOBART; An official sighting of the Tasmanian tiger, feared extinct for 48 years, was reported yesterday by the State National Parks and Wildlife Service. The tiger was seen 18 months ago by a ranger in forest country in the northwest of the State, according to the service’s chief wildlife officer, Mr Rod Pierce. Mr Pierce said the ranger had been "parked in his car at night doing some other work when he saw it in his spotlight. “It wasn’t a fleeting glimpse - he had long enough to have a good look at the animal.” Mr Pierce said it was one of a number of good sightings of the tiger over the past few years, but it was the only one by a ranger.

Mr Pierce said the service would not disclose the name of the ranger who made the sighting, nor would it specify the area where it was made. “The tiger must have as much protection as possible.” he said. “We don’t want all sorts of people going out and looking for it.” Rangers have searched along creek banks and through muddy areas looking for footprints. If its general location becomes known, rangers will set up infra-red cameras in the hope of capturing it on film. But Mr Pierce said the search had so far been fruitless and no tracks had been found. “The project will run until the end of summer, and then it will be reviewed,” he said.

Up until 12kyr ago was the last glacial period, and stone age painting by definiton were mostly around that time. Maybe it was just cold and people out all day in the cold hunting deers lose their finger?

But if cave paintings from tropical regions like Africa and south asia also have missing digits then I’ll believe it might a ceremonial thing.

It’s 8:25 AM in Moscow, another beautiful day, blue skies, snow on the ground. Just woke up, got my sip of coffee, in time to be at work at 9AM working my good-paying steady union job at the KGB shitposting and bamboozling boomers on facebook. Probably gonna log off at 1pm and take my kids cross country skiing.

how concerned you got for a second

I’ve been using Manjaro for 5+ years with no problem. Manjaro is a rolling distro, and unfortunately there is not enough volunteers in open source community to maintain a bleeding edge rolling distribution that is completely bug free. It is just a matter of personal preference how close to bleeding edge do you want your system to be between Arch, Manjaro, Endeavor, and OpenSUSE. I found that Manjaro is quite useful to have because I run non-FOSS programs like Dropbox, Zotero, MegaSYNC, and MATLAB.

One tips I have is that don’t bother to update every other week. There are plenty literal supercomputers running on outdated Linux OS or stable distro releases like Fedora. Linux by default is already more secure. Just because there are updates available doesn’t mean one should do it, unless you need the bleeding edge updates due to your line of work. I thought we install Linux to run away from annoying Windows updates. If you update Manjaro like every 6 months or so, it is pretty unlikely (statistically) that you get a bad update.

Having to beg for shelter and then still having to share private space in an unsafe living conditions sucks. If we give unhoused people some dignity, just give them a studio apartment and the key to it, free of use, no judgement, I’m sure a lot of them can pull themselves up. It takes considerable mental toll on unhoused people to never have a peace of mind in your own safe space. People understandably become more and more unhinged, lose their social skills and trust in society the longer they stay out being unhoused.

There is a good article about one in Boulder

It is the same story all over. People are experiencing mental health and substance abuse issue, the rent is too damn high and become unhoused. Temporary unhoused shelters are never a good solution, because they are not safe. A lot of unhoused people feel safer sitting in open public space than cramped up in shelters with other unhoused people, especially in places where the weather is usually manageable like Colorado.

The solution is to build permanent apartment for the unhoused, so they can live with dignity without rent burden. And then most people can work on other aspects of their lives, like finding a job, getting an education, etc. But why would the private sector build permanent housing for people who don’t have money? They would rather buy 3-4 houses in a row, bulldoze them and build a luxury apartment complex for the techbros in the city.
