If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

It’s the tea party. T = tea

Ah, I didn’t realize it was your own post. Extra thanks for sharing then. I imagine it could be rather nerve-wracking.

Honestly, not sure if I find this wholesome so much as a little sad. But not sad in a tearful way, or in a “aw, poor thing” way. More… The way a rainy day can be sad? Or how nostalgia feels, even though they’re not being nostalgic? It feels very raw, regardless, maybe even a little invasive, like getting a short glimpse into a person’s soul, and a person who has not had an easy life, at that… I’m glad I read it though, so thanks for sharing

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

The Milky Way is spinning. It’s spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can’t see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.

Do both. Then the US is a spider. Or maybe a funky crab?
