Chris Sawyer is a madman.

This story became much less interesting after I realized they were worried about tweets about Taylor Swift, not tweets made by Taylor Swift.

No, let’s. The wealthy have been quietly waging class war on the rest of us for decades. If we do it out in the open I feel much better about our chances.

You’ll trip balls so hard survival isn’t guaranteed.

One more for the “Evidence ‘law and order Republicans’ are just racist” drawer.

I suspect they did it so people wouldn’t be put off from buying something close to expiration.

In fairness to the people I worked for, they only put it on stuff with a short shelf life anyway, so it was all fairly close to expiring. Also, it was a convenience store. Most people ate it right away.

It might be the Julian date (I have no idea where the name comes from) which is just basically January 1st is 001, December 31st is 365, and the rest of the year is between. So this would be around December 15th.

We used it for food expirations on some things at the convenience store I used to work at.

Lucky you, time to move on to Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, the best 2D Zelda games in my opinion.

“No, YOU’RE the stochastic terrorist!”

Ha, you got em good, Chaya.

Still, this is a reminder not to get too attached to any particular developer. Doesn’t matter how sincerely dedicated to producing fun and satisfying experiences From is: when Tencent talks, they have to listen.

You know there are people at tencent unironically thinking “People were happy with how unmonetized Elden Ring was. How can we monetize that satisfaction?”

Beware: if you do not pet this dog, the guilt will follow you for the rest of your days.

It was kind of a slow burn. Every time I heard a new argument against the existence of God, I’d repeat to myself, “Just because I can’t think of the answer doesn’t mean there isn’t one.” You can only say that so many times before it starts to feel like you’re being stubborn.

Probably the most compelling argument was, to me, the contradictory nature of an all-knowing God existing in the same reality as free will.

I decided I was an atheist (logically) a long time before I started to feel like an atheist (emotionally). What pushed me over the line there was when it was pointed out to me the sheer arrogance of looking out at the massive, incomprehensible scale of the universe and saying, “the creator of that really cares about me in particular.”

So now I say I’m an atheist, somewhere between gnostic and agnostic. I can’t rule out the existence of something that could be called God by someone’s definition, but I’m confident the abrahamic god, the one I grew up with, can’t exist.
