@beardalaxy @wrongthink @realcaseyrollins I think people are more addicted to the caffeine from the soda than the sugar. They want something that is somewhat close to the original taste without the sugar.

My mother is horribly addicted to Diet Coke/Pepsi. She ensured that none of her kids were soda drinkers just so we wouldn't get addicted.

@wrongthink @realcaseyrollins Honestly, it's no different than lite or menthol cigarettes. Also, given the strong link between artificial sweeteners and cancer, one can argue that diet soda is even worse for you than regular soda.

@realcaseyrollins Let’s visit the fact that there are people so hopelessly attached to soda that they justify “diet soda” in order to keep their vice going.

Imagine for a moment how ridiculous that is. We don’t have “diet cake” or “diet milk shakes”. Why diet soda?

>3rd derailment today

What the fuck is happening?

@apopheniac @matrix How many of these breadtubers even adopt a worker-coop model if they work with other people?

@ItsSkyDragonz @sandwich Yeah, I also believe the flat earth movement is an intentional psy-op to make conspiracy theorists look dumb.

I've already talked about it in-depth on my website.

@ItsSkyDragonz @sandwich No. The fact that it will be fake will give fuel to them. They will go "see the government is faking the existence of aliens. Space is totally fake".

@ItsSkyDragonz @sandwich Flat earther's don't believe in space. They think that above the disk-shaped earth is a firmament dome.

@ItsSkyDragonz @sandwich The flat earthers would just say that the fake alien invasion is just to re-enforce the idea that "space is real". Flat earthers also claim that meteorites (like the one that happened in Russia years ago) are actually missiles that exist to serve the same purpose.

@ItsSkyDragonz @sandwich The idea of a fake alien invasion is nothing new. The Rockerfellers and the Vatican have been planning it for a while now.

My only concern is that the fake alien invasion is just going to give more fuel to the flat earthers.

Fixed the camera to make it center more on the player. It's not perfect, but it is a vast improvement.

GPL compatibility thing reminds me that I wish there would be a copyleft license, but would just require other software linked to it to be under a libre license.
Think like MPL-2.0 but with a bit of restriction regarding linking.

@coolboymew The only $70+ games on there were N64 and that's because they were on cartridges.

After downloading a million 15 year old abandonware windows-only applications I was able to port the city scanner from HL2 to HL1 with near-zero loss in fidelity (just minor changes in the skeleton). The mesh and texture is identical to the full quality HL2 version in the vanilla HL1 engine, if you put aside that 512x512 was an optional feature reserved for cards such as the geforce2, unlike the 256x256 plebs with 3dfx cards.
