Wise words, although I would also count work as a blessing in itself. Having a real sense of purpose and usefulness in the world is important. Being forced out of the workforce by advanced aging must be rough

Bad computer graphics from the '90s / early 2000s textbooks is an aesthetic all its own

0ad is similar to Age of Empires, this project is aiming to be as exact of a replica as possible :)

It's estrogenic effects are readily apparent
It seems like a bit of a stretch to assume the idioms someone uses can reliably indicate their moral character. As with anything, granting people the most charitable interpretation of their actions can go a long way. Is the person using the term gyping actually showing their hatred for the gypsies? It's not impossible, but that's not a very charitable interpretation of their actions
Knowledge that my car is monitoring my every twitch and heartbeat is more stressful than any traffic situation
It's almost like police are allowed discretion in their duties, and choose willingly not to arrest or fine normal people who are just having a fun time with fireworks on Independence Day weekend (despite the cries of overprotective soccer moms). Really makes you think!

Re:Pocket Casts acquired by NPR on Saturday May 05, 2018 @10:00AM (#17001814)
While I am happy for Russell and the rest of the Shifty Jelly team, this acquisition does worry me. Historically, NPR hasn't been the most unbiased source of information, and allowing them direct access to who can and cannot be seen on the discovery feed could easily kill the diversity of views that the platform enjoys right now.
Listen, I'm all for people looking out for themselves and getting out of Leaf Land, but to go through all that effort to end up in Cali! That's even worse!

Part of me would actually really enjoy having the option to use an old school voice generator. Imagine a horror novel narrated by MS Sam
Here's the plan. We form a large enough mob of people who are dressed to look exactly like Assange (wigs and all), then he can just run into the mob and disperse, make contact with sympathizers, and flee to a less oppressive country.
