This is pretty clearly satire.
It’s sincere insencerity.

I mean… That can’t be news to him.
So many times he jumps someone, and the breathing sound only starts then.
He’s clearly already been turning it on and off for effect.

Helsinki?
Edit: No. At least not the bridge I was thinking of.
32·9 days agoAnd if you do have a shitty world, make sure the fast travel is actually fast.
Looking at you, Starfield.
Same.
But that’s why good fast travel is important. Once you’ve seen the world, you can skip the stuff you’ve already done.
29·10 days agoWith nextcloud in particular, nextcloud is not just nextcloud.
It’s a bunch of additional optional services that may or may not work as-is on Synology. And the Synology package won’t come with all of them.
With docker, adding (or removing) additional services, such as Nextcloud Office, is comparatively simple.

But you can definitley find people looking to play via the community, but you won’t have much luck just jumping into online.
Game is still getting updates.
That definitely looks fat.
Normally, the middle should be the thinnest part of the body, with the soulders and hips being the widest. A healthy cat can squeeze through any gap their head can fit through, but your boy looks like that abdomen would stop him.
AFAIK, a cat should seem a little skinny by human logic. A vet can tell you more about how to tell, like how you’re supposed to be able to clearly feel the ribs.
If your boy is visibly round, that’s not muscle. A healthy cat is a straight line, or even slightly hourglass shaped.
To be sure, ask a vet. Cats are individuals, so it can vary.

- Ruiner - 10.61 GB (Just a tad over 10, but such a good game for Deck)
BallisticNG and BeamNG are completely unrelated.
The former is an EXTREMELY faithful re-creationg of WipEout physics (both ps1 and ps3/4 era games, depending on mode), but with support for mods and community-made tracks.
If you haven’t played WipEout, the controls involve four axes of analogue input. Pitch, craft tilt, as well as left and right air-brakes. The fastest way around a track requires extreme precision and a bit of luck.
In addition, weaponry is allowed and you must manage your energy (which is both your health and boost-fuel).
It’s AG racers I keep coming back to, myself. (BallisticNG)
I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.
Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art).
46·15 days agoThen you are guilty of the same thing. The above is a retort to the idea that my side has any relation to authoritarian thinking. It’s not based on my assumptions around your reasoning, but literally a point you just tried to make.
There are legitimate reasons to give a creature the opportunity to learn to fend for itself and as such expose it to the risks of doing so. Children who must one day become independent adults. Animals to be re-wilded and released back into nature.
Neither, nor any other that I’m aware of, apply to domestic pets.
I am perfectly willing to consider your mindset. My very first sentence is a question requesting you elaborate on what exactly it is you gain by trading in the safety of your cat. Because you don’t actually mention what that is.
Listing five preventably dead cats I personally knew is over the top?
Why is taking the risk important?
You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo, in order to restore an endangered species.
You are releasing a domestic pet into an uncontrolled environment.
Why is it important to do that? And why does this importance only apply to cats?
Worth it to gain what?
You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo.
Your logic is like overfeeding a pet because it likes the food enough to keep eating it.
Your cat is not a toddler that will one day need to be a functioning member of society. You can and should make decisions that ensure its safety in exchange for its freedoms.
It’s the same reasoning behind why you don’t let a child hit the town until they’re old enough. The difference, is that a cat is never “old enough”. It’s a pet.
Parasites. Disease. Pest traps. Poisons. Traffic. Dangerous climbs. Other cats. People.
I know someone who had three cats get run over before they learned to keep them inside. They live on an island in the finnish archipelago that barely even has roads let alone traffic.
Another friend lost two cats to a neighbour who fed them poisoned chicken.
Go on. Tell me there’s zero risk.
Like the other guy said.
How can your conscience be clear, if the one in danger is Miez?
Simon and Catherine are the two sides of the debate. The emotional response, and its conclusion. And the intellectual response, and its conclusion.
Spoiler
The people who killed themselves, landed somewhere in-between.
Catherine had already thought about it a ton before she was copied, and came to intellectual conclusions well in advancea.
Simon is experiencing the feelings involved, after he’s been copied. Worse, he’s the kind of person who thinks people have souls, something intrinsicly unique and irreproduciple. He may never get past his emotional response.
We hear him voice his opinion several times, that to him, there is only one soul. He refers to original Simon as “real” Simon. He actively avoids thinking about it too much because the conclusion he’d come to is that his current existence is “fake”. And you can tell that Catherine picks up on it, pushing the subject only when she has to. Even when she does explain, it’s not that he can’t understand the way she thinks about it. It’s that he won’t.
They also do several things in the story that discourages Simon from thinking about the copies as “real” even as he is one himself. After getting a password from a simulated copy of a mind, Simon wonders if they just killed a person several times over just to get a password. It goes unsaid, but he undoubtedly lands on the side he is more comfortable with. That the copies aren’t “real”.
Cathrine does manipulate Simon into being copied the second time. She avoids explaining it in a way that would offend him. Only doing so when she fails to hide what happened.
And then Simon comes up with a rationalization, the coinflip. That when you’re copied, there’s a coinflip on whether “you” end up on either side of the copy. Just so he can accept his current existence as valid.
If you’re on the intellectual side, that’s BS. You end up on both sides. Both copies are real.
But if you think the soul is real, then the coinflip must be how it works. That, or only the original was “real”. But to the Simon we play as in Soma, that is not an option he is willing to even think about.
I think it’s extremely good writing. I just pitied simon, I wasn’t able to hate him for reacting the way a normal person might.
He could’ve been nicer to Catherine, tho.
