I'm starting to think that those who claim that the 4th generation of video games was the golden age of gaming were probably right, but I still feel like it's a tie between that and the 6th generation.

@souldessin @PurpCat I think perpetual energy is still possible. If the Electric Universe theory is proven true we can tap the energy from the electric currents flowing through the universe, thus giving us an infinite supply of electricity.

Is this actually real? I thought intersex people can't get pregnant.

@djsumdog @PurpCat @WashedOutGundamPilot @YTFoidLover1488 @Hoss He paywalls his comment section (as in requiring a payed membership to comment), which I think is the only real incentive to actually give him money, but given his political views, it wouldn't surprise me if he anonymously trades on the darkweb, on the side.

@binkle @noyoushutthefuckupdad I highly recommend reading these essays from this author going by the alias "Son of Waru". He thoroughly analyzes Ted and his followers, and provides the best refutation of Ted that I have come across. He openly points out the logical inconsistencies of Ted, such as the fact that even per-industrial and even pre-agricultural societies had "surrogate activities", and that as long as humans interact with each other, there will always be some form of civilization.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad most tedposting seems to be fueled by hatred of modern cities and suburbs not so much out of a genuine love of the country or nature

There is no hope for national libertarianism.

Move to New Hampshire and join the only strategy that's worked in the entire history of libertarianism.

Sign the petition to free Ian! Ian has dedicated his life to making the world a better place through peace and freedom advocacy. Ian was charged with ~27 different crimes for the dastardly “crime” of effectively opposing government. While Ian “won” on about 22 of these 27 charges the federal government leveled, he’s now appealing what remain from behind bars. This is actually a good thing in that it’s what he wanted. Appeals are what can on occasion lead to positive precedent and what may protect others in the future.

Ian has been a champion of financial freedom and cryptocurrency since long before Bitcoin was making people rich. He has advocated for it in for the purest and principled of reasons. For that advocacy he's being persecuted by the federal government. The prosecutors have lied and played dirty at every turn.

Ian jumped through hoops to protect people. He got laws changed. He performed KYC despite not being required to. The feds have sadly used this KYC to twist the story into one of fraud despite not actually leveling any fraud charges against Ian. Prosecutors even admitted in open court Ian did not have any knowledge of the scams committed against a small number of his clients.

The testimonies of the “victims” was previously questioned, but it turns out the prosecutors pressed people to testify who were manipulable including child molesters, actual money launders, and worse.

The reason the feds were even able to identify a small number of “victims” is the result of Ian having the foresight to preserve IDs (including of scammers). Despite this the “victims” testified that the feds were not interested in going after the scammers. In fact they’ve never caught a scammer ever.

@Spingebill @butterdog It might make good use as a minor or double major. A lot of CompSci degrees in many universities are too narrow, and it's difficult to get a job after college with a CS degree alone, unless you have connections or a portfolio of projects under your belt. It's a good idea to have specialized knowledge in a certain field (gamedev, webdev, automation, AI, etc), unless you want to be an IT worker with a CS degree.

@butterdog Game Design is a special major for a special group of people. As you'd expect it's picked by people who see it and think "ooh fun bideo game," it's difficult compared to other "useless" majors, and the payoff at the end is being stuck in the world's worst STEM-adjacent industry. Every game design major in the club is either a stoner or a BreadTube watcher.
Also, the people actually interested in gamedev are all either CompSci or Engineering majors
