  • The fortnite account shows it was active like 2 months after his “death” but way before the files were released. Like 10 months before the files were released. Also there was a prison guard on 4chan (he got identified and was working at the prison) who claimed of an off the books transport van that showed up the evening before his death and it was kept out of the log books. Also that bit of footage the night of his death at the prison that showed just the tiniest bit of an orange jumpsuit going towards Epsteins cell. And all the cameras that just strategically managed to not be working.

    Any one thing is nothing. All of it together is something else.













  • Back in the 80s pizza hut charged premium prices, but tasted fantastic with actual quality ingredients. Tasted even better if you ate it at the restaurant right out of the cast iron.

    Then they lost some sales to cheaper on the go places that popped up like Dominoes and little Caesars. Instead of sticking to the higher end and maintaining for customers that we’re willing to spend more on taste, they opted to go down in the mud and compete on cheap, cheaping out on ingredients and cook\prep time. They couldn’t do that as well as the other guys, who’d been doing it from the start. So they completely tanked themselves. Dumb corpo decisions. You can’t make a shit product to compete with other shit product when all your brick and mortar is 4x the size and not designed to sling out pizza as fast. Instead of just excepting that they weren’t going to keep all of the customer base wanting pizza, they shot themselves in both legs.



  • I just re-played the original (with mods to make it look nicer) last year. Hadn’t played it since like 1997 on PS. It was great nostalgia and still a great game, but obviously a bit dated in some QOL departments.

    It is, however, a complete game and the story line is still good. Especially if you go into it blind. The entire materia system to give your characters powers and perks is legendary.

    The OG game came out as an entire (and long) game. It’s complete. Major bonus. No bullshit having to buy a game like 3 times over a 15 year span just to get it all. Not to mention having to keep waiting for that 3rd game to release.

    If you like (or think you may like) old school turn based rpg’s, then give it a shot. You should like it. If you don’t like those, avoid it, and if you haven’t ever played one, it’s not a lot of money to risk.

    I do recommend getting some mods on it though. It can be made to look much better than it originally did during that awkward phase where they were making 3d games, but graphics weren’t good enough to warrant making them 3d.


  • With a generational ship and a shield and a way of blocking cosmic rays I think it will eventually be possible, but take a very long time. I don’t believe light speed will ever be possible, but going near light speed starts slowing down time a whole bunch for those on board the ships. So if for instance we came up with some trickery to get up to 99% the speed of light and wanted to go to a planet one galaxy over that’s 25,000 light years away, in theory the ship and the people in it would get there in about 1200 years. Even though it would be like 25,000 years for anyone who wasn’t on the ship. At 99.999% it would only take what would seem like about 115 years on the ship.

    I’m not going to say that’s flat out impossible that it could happen but we’d have to find one hell of a way to cheat the system.

    Alternatively, I think it will come about (if humans don’t kill ourselves off) that a person can “live forever” in one form or another. If we get to that point then pesky things like travel time and atmospheres and such will be much less an issue. I then wonder how long a person would want to be around before they decided they’d rather “self terminate”.



  • Zoomers are the full on ADD version of people. All they grew up on was a tablet or phone that “just works” and they get their answers from a Google search or 1 minute video. Many of them simply don’t want to learn beyond the bare minimum they can get away with and just want the instant gratification or the answer. They don’t care about understanding why it’s the answer.

    Wide exceptions to every generation, of course.
