True, it should not matter, but it did. Because of that, it's perfectly valid to ask what it was and why it triggered the automated security response.

I'd argue that Microsoft is worse than its users

One fungus will eventually manage to mind control the crabs, like some already do with ants.

So why do companies keep racing to make the thinnest phones?

Because Steve Jobs' ghost still haunts and demands all designs to be as anti consumer as possible

4.7" screen is the ideal size for me. Big enough to see anything clearly, small enough that I can comfortably reach anything in the screen with one hand

I couldn't pay for sub either, so I made do with private servers 😁

Only the short first paragraph was by the author, he didn't even bother to comment himself on what he thought of the experiment/output

I've been thinking about some games that can be done in order to get people drawing, mostly as a means to give some variation to kids I've been teaching.

So far, I've found/thought about the following:

  1. I go through body parts, one at a time, like "torso". Everyone draws it. Once done, they pass the paper to another person, then I state another body part, rinse and repeat until it's fully done
  2. One person has to describe a thing or creature without naming it, everyone else has to draw according to what's being described
  3. Give them 3 lists, one of "who", one of "where" and one of "doing", where they pick one option from each and have to draw it, so others have to figure what it is. For instance, "(Who) Medic / (Where) Space / (Doing) Playing games with friends"

What else would you suggest?

Alt-text:
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you're a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

| just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

I once had the Japanese version of Digimon world 2 for the PS1 and I remember it having a separate game mode that, by default, would put you in an arena with Metal Greymon vs Were Garurumon. For whatever reason, the fight played fully automatically, no input needed, but if you messed around with buttons, you could sometimes change the attack of M.Greymon to the breast missile. After the fight was over, you'd be thrown back at the main menu.

I've never seen anyone comment on it and even searching right now doesn't show any results. So, does anyone know what it was supposed to be and how to "properly play" it? Cutting room floor only mentions that western releases completely removed all compatibility with the Japanese gadgets and graphics related to that
