I think it is more likely that a room is abandoned for a decade or a few than that humans collectively drop back to the Stone Age.

In any case, if we do drop back to the Stone Age, we have bigger problems than not being able to read the classics.

As the joke goes...

The average encounter a citizen has with a cop is in the negative context. Copwaver Georg, who is in the cohort of the people who call the cops, including in situations that don't personally concern them, and makes sure to wave to every passing patrolman, thus racking up 1000 positive interactions with cops per month, is an outlier who should not be counted.

It might also be so that there is no longer an incentive to learn extinct languages such as 2026 English.

My intuition tells me it's easier to lapse in maintaining climate in a warehouse than lose disk reader technology.

I don't mean store the dead trees. I mean store the data, in free public access.

I think this is one of those moments where you'd want to step in in favor of the scoundrels of books, if you want a principled defense of the books you want saved. It seems like it was only yesterday folks were lamenting the original Dr Seuss books. Do you want to entrust anyone but yourself with the right to decide what is archived, and what is fed into the slopmachine and then wiped?

It was bad that they were sending them to the dump, too. It doesn't become less bad just because most people wouldn't think of it until now.

We have the storage. Billions of pulp novels must be uploaded. They were worth printing once, they are certainly worth archiving.

Would I rather be told that I'm worse off than I can feel I am, or told than I'm better off? The former.

And evidently even professionals who are proud to perform well aren't ashamed to do very fake and gay shit such as diving to scrounge up some extra points, if the game allows it.

I do not believe you can't imagine two kids who are equally good yet are of different races. I'm not talking about groups.

If I have to pick between being two equally good or retarded kids, but one gets charity while the other gets shut down and diminished for being a part of the group who "has it good enough as is", I'd rather be in the former group.

I wouldn't take the CCP's criticism as principled opposition to the values exhibited in the novel.

Now the thing with WtC is that it still has all those ruthless things and people, it's just that the protagonist has the cheat power to become stronger than everyone without resorting to doing things the hard and nasty way. It is also plainly stated in RY that Fang Yuan also tried to do things the nice way in his original life, it just didn't work out. I'd say both novels present their worlds and the way their dwellers react to those worlds consistently. It is also telling that, while Fang Yuan's antics are captivating for the pure number go up appeal, it's all the other major characters who are actually interesting people.

According to the research I remember it's more like "don't drink distilled water regularly" than "one glass and you suffer", and only the latter story would make sense as being made up so students don't drink lab-quantities of it.

As for technical ethanol, pretty sure they do treat it to taste foul at least.

Eaglecrowing Schoolshooting Freespeechia notably doesn't legally allow drinking until 21, and many seem to obey.

Why not combine the approaches? Have trash enemies mixed up with a few serious ones. Lancer does that with Grunt-type mechs and Exalted has "extras".

Pretty sure Worm isn't a progression fantasy and WtC is only a deconstruction of one. You might want to try Worm isekai/altpower fanfic for that number go up.

The poe complaints aren't about character level. The kind of sweat who is an active participant in the poe community takes 10 hours at most to get past the part of the game where levels matter, and proceeds to trivialize the rest of the game in about 1-2 weeks, lamenting "league dead" afterwards.

I'll lean in with the other posters: why must you boot her? I do not believe it is such a harmful experience for her to spend time with (gasp!) 30 year olds in a controlled environment. If you just don't want to be responsible for keeping the environment controlled then own it and boot her yourself. But I disagreee that it's "disturbing" in any way. Society should get over this "18 years old isn't a real adult" bullshit, evidently all it does is keep people from maturing.

That kind of rhetoric just makes you sound like you are actually unusually racist and your beauty standards are uncalibrated (refer to the 3/10 elbows too pointy meme for further information). The actress is objectively not ugly, she easily clears most peers of her age you'd see outside, as well as many women a decade younger.

Roblox is a platform for creating and hosting multiplayer minigames, with a Minecraft-like aesthetic.

The creepers are there because that's where the children are.

You witness the natural result of technical skill's cost being reduced to near zero: it is no longer valued and instead what matters to people are the subtle details of the work and its provenance (or less charitably, how prestigious its origin is).

And it is slop, the author objectively paid very little attention to creating it, including the parts that he could and should have affected.

It's like it's the dawn of photography and you have taken a picture of something unremarkable with bad composition and shit lighting. Sure thing, an artist would have taken more time.

No one with politics listed as "Other", around here that can really only mean Marxist or Hard Leftist

How so? Has the public opinion pendulum swung so hard the other way that you can't say you're leftist in polite conpany?

If there's exceptions it means the rule exists. As you yourself stated, the black guys that do not belong to the well-known exception are not trusted.

I am entirely unsurprised that small town people can remember the few exceptions to the rule.

Not strictly on skin tone, but it is a marker for other factors, and it is making things all too easy for aspiring racists. No one cares to learn the subtle class markers like wearing your hat the wrong way or peasant pronunciation of certain vowels when you can just look at their face and instantly determine they are likely to be of a lower socio-cultural-intellectual-spiritual-economical class.

If we're going to have racism, it should at least be refined competitive racism based on nation and beer preferences and clothing, not casual "darker skin bad" racism.
