You know what? You just inspired me to do it. Definitely cluttering up my day and making me scroll way more than I should/had to.

The mother gave birth to them. If that's the thing that confuses you I don't know what else to say.

Another way to look at it is if karma doesn't matter, I honestly could not care less about who reposts my posts or if I get credit for it. I hope it can just be fun to share dumb memes with the world.

I had a ten-year-old account that had accumulated a modest amount of karma (34000?) over the years, and had no regrets editing and deleting all the posts (roughly 2700 of them).

I'd contributed in a number of niche subreddits and felt disgusted by the greed that Reddit was showing. More than anything the disgust that they would be profiting off my information was what pushed me to do the editing/deleting.

And since then, I realise I haven't really missed anything.

Caveat: I was never really bound by my karma score anyway, though, and regularly fact-checked people I knew would not listen just to "spend" my karma anyway.

Against the Storm has you play the most challenging part of industry builders - starting up and getting the production lines going - but gives you a limited selection of what buildings to build and a ticking timer to keep the pressure on.

Not for people who want to sit back and watch their city flourish, but if you really enjoy the process of scrambling to set up production lines to meet the needs of your people (and I do), then I highly recommend it.

I don't see it in that link.

Also want to second Against the Storm, with the caveat that if you enjoy seeing your colony go self-sufficient, this isn't really the game. The instant your colony goes self-sufficient here, the game is basically over, and the gameplay loop consists entirely of the struggle in getting there based on a randomised set of variables.

... which makes it my favourite colony sim by a mile. I think I have over two hundred hours in it, and it's still getting improved by the active devs.

In the same vein, Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Builders are games that I really enjoyed that I feel don't get enough attention. Surprisingly all the DQ spinoffs have been real hits for me.

Facing the facts has very little to do with the choice of using the word "normie", though: a term which is defined so differently in your original post than everyone else's that it seems like it would only muddy the waters.

Writ on a broader scale, if someone has power over you (say a government) but chooses not to get involved when you do something, is that free will? Or have they just not prohibited the action you chose to take? I think you have to scope what you mean by free will for there to be any semblance of it given how nebulous "will" can be. If you believe that outcomes are even to some degree deterministic (say, for example, we are predisposed a certain way because of our background, but may act differently because of our beliefs), then it is compatible with a definition of Free Will that has an omniscient being knowing what we will do.

I can't remember where I read that Prigozhin has a history of using histrionics to get his way. Based on what happened, I have no problem believing that he was just bluffing for a better deal from Moscow, and I think he probably got it.
