So my game flopped after 3 years of work...😢 Since its release on May 26th, I've sold 77 copies... Streamers and curious gamers loved it. I have 2800 wishlists, 800 of which are from the release date.... What do you think? Be honest.🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3…

Something I noticed.
Apr 28
Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

I think it would be kinda fun to vote blue. We'd be posting memes like "blue gang rise up" and "wagmi" and "blue man group" and when we all end up living, we'd throw a party and the red voters wouldn't be invited. Gametheorycels would never experience the joy of being a bluechad.

This is not a political orientation. It’s a mental illness.

However dumb you think the process for destroying USAID was, it was dumber. This is from Nicholas Enrich's new book Into the Wood Chipper, describing a meeting with Trump-appointed USAID leadership *after* they had largely gutted the agency

I love being Catholic *because* the edicts of my faith constantly challenge my political beliefs. I cannot imagine a religion that would pride itself on being a reliable voting bloc, because service to Christ is first, not service to some temporal political party.
All this hate for evangelicals when, statistically, we are the only bloc consistently holding it down for biblical marriage, the pro-life cause, secure borders, and every other issue. We are by far the most conservative and united in every political, cultural, and moral area. This is not statistically contested. Without the strength and cohesion of this group, conservatives lose everything. Consequently, the country loses everything. Not an exaggeration. So ask yourself: why would someone want to divide, destroy, and demoralize this stalwart group? The answer is obvious if the person is progressive, but it becomes a bit murky when the people targeting this group are on the “right,” right? Something to ponder

Honestly the two Speakers after Sen. Howard are the most telling. First Cowan is mad that the amendment makes "anybody born here" a citizen, even the Chinese and Gypsies. He wants to exclude them. Then Conness says, "nope, the Chinese and all other children will be citizens."

The number of folks who read this sentence "foreigners, aliens, WHO belong to the families of ambassadors" and are adamant it creates a list despite the fact they have to add the word "or" or "and" to make their argument. It takes an incredible level of cognitive dissonance.

When Project Hail Mary 1st came out (book not movie) a sister came to table & said she was reading it bc she loves books about the Blessed Mother. She was enjoying it, just taken aback by all the space stuff in it & wondering when Mary was going to show up. I love my sisters 😆

Los villanos siempre tienen doctorado. Dr. Doom, el Dr. Octopus, el Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Hannibal Lecter o el Dr. No. Incluso el Dr. Frankenstein o el Dr. Evil. En cambio, los buenos suelen quedarse en la maestría, como el maestro Yoda, el Maestro Roshi, el Maestro Splinter, el Maestro Miyagi, Shifu o el mismísimo Luke Skywalker. Los estudios de posgrado corrompen el alma.

• be Torakusu Yamaha • the son of a low-ranking samurai astronomer in 19th-century Japan • obsessed with Western machines, you make a living repairing watches and medical equipment • 1887: a local elementary school has a broken American reed organ. Nobody in the small town knows how to fix it. • you take it apart, realize it’s just two broken springs, and easily repair it • but instead of just handing it back, you realize: "If I can fix this, I can build it." • you draw a blueprint of the inside of the organ and build the very first Japanese-made reed organ from scratch • you show it off. People tell you it sounds terrible. • most people would quit. You sling the heavy wooden organ over your shoulder on a bamboo carrying pole. • you physically carry it 160 miles (250 km) on foot, trekking over the brutal Hakone mountains just to reach the Tokyo Music Institute to get real feedback from experts • the professors play it. They tell you the mechanics are brilliant, but the tuning is completely wrong. • you don't get defensive. You stay in Tokyo for a month, sitting in on university music theory lectures, holding a single tuning fork to your ear until you completely master the mathematics of sound frequencies • you walk 160 miles back home • you build a second organ. The professors test it and declare it "as good as those from abroad." • you found Nippon Gakki Co. (which later becomes Yamaha Corporation) • you decide to make your company logo three interlocking tuning forks to remember the pain and discipline of learning music theory from scratch • decades later, your company uses its piano woodworking expertise to build wooden airplane propellers in WWII • after the war, the company uses its new metallurgical expertise from the airplane engines to build motorcycles • you accidentally create a timeline where repairing a broken elementary school organ directly leads to the creation of the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike • absolute, relentless horizontal integration based purely on figuring out how things work The ultimate testament to reverse-engineering reality.
