The entity formerly known as Quantum Device trying to swim the fediverse…
If I remember correctly is the same adaptation of this eye parasite of Greenland sharks, they only grow in one of the two sensors so the parasited animal is not terribly compromised and still can thrive enough to complete the life cycle of the parasite
What a massive cleaning must be done every morning when kicked out, specially if you want to have also clients alergic to dogs…
Every empire has those aspirations.
There are many ways to achieve it through the complex relationships between countries and societies (e.g. soft power, cultural influence, militar control, etc) but an empire willing to try it at any cost with any means will always succeed for longer as an empire…
These are already large and big enough to hate them… last thing I want is extravolume/weight. Also, I paid for the neat experience and I am going to enjoy it till the end…

The “True Facts About Microsoft” and Zefrank reference got me :D
I think many more than those listed are being widely used nowadays.
I think is easy to find also Japanese myths (mostly the oni/demon kind) in general and some Chinese-like ones… I found at least in one game (Genshin Impact) an attempt to use also Central American pre-Columbine mythology also and some Polynesian one (even Disney did it). African ones (below sub-Sahara ones) in general are the next less used, together other American pre-Columbine ones. Yet, the vudú-like ones (a mix of African and Caribbean ones) are quite messed up together any zombie-like archetype… and I do not know, but Lovecraft-like ones can be also found often, even not being traditional myths… and I founded many references to Babylonians and early Indo-Iranian myths, specially those linked to demons and witchcraft… and this remind me of references to druid and Keltic-like myths, which somehow permeate (comics-then-Hollywood and other artistic sources have used them). Oh, I also found frequent references to Hindu-like ones. I think the list of commonly used mythologies is already reaaaaaally large.
Mentioned all the above… I am not aware of a rich one not influenced somehow by any of the already mentioned ones, but I am fan of regional paganisms which hide many interesting dark links that predates history.
Thank you kind stranger, that was a nice and interesting review!
CEOs will not become more human due to this potential threat, they will just keep a lower and more discrete profile (which have started to happen already) while probably increasing security measures up to their own convenience.
I would love that such kind of CEOs get prosecuted for good ethical reasons, but the legal system seems to not support such cases, so that’s what should be changed on the first place.
Also, because I trust in the strength of a civilised society and its monopoly of the violence, I want that anybody that decide to kill someone unilaterally face the consequences of such action, with consideration to all the circumstances as usual, so I want him also prosecuted: if I ever take justice into my own hands I will do it accepting all the consequences.
I don’t understand the reduction to a simple false dichotomy about which side between the shooter or the CEO must be taken, sounds like the deliberate simply polarisation from ill public forums nowadays.
The main point is to be able to handle uncertainties in a normal basis, the greyness of reality, despite the temptation of blacks and whites of our minds.
For sure it costs a lot. The consideration of the superposition of possible truths and the weight of potential biases is a huge burden without granted full coverage, but allows you to accumulate a landscape of plausibility of things: yes, is not 100% precise and is still built by personal prejudices but, with a systematic acceptance of new bits of information regardless of how comfortable they are, it can grow a mostly reliable understanding of reality with a variable amount of temporary uncertainty on some facts… and you can still convert greys into quasi-b&w once they reach a decent amount of independent evidences, you now, to free a bit your RAM.
PS: Peer review is neither 100% perfect, is just more solid.
Well, when the loop takes place there is a travel in time taking place… but not as in the standard time travel films.
I think is important to point out that in the Groundhog time loops the travel is only of the memories or the information, there is no energy-mass traveling (though information is a kind of energy, let me skip physics here), and the traveler at the beginning of the loop has not carried anything from the future but the memories of the previous loop, did not age or suffered physical modifications (there may be exceptions, sure).
So I think that is a kind of time travel, but a sub-genre where the travel is less material than in the typical time travels.
I don’t care, I just want a nice place to wander, nothing is forever, but the longer, the better, regardless of popularity

“To shoehorn something” is a literal common expression in Spanish, lately often used to indicate a deliberated misdirection of a debate into a different argument at the minimum occasion (usually via any fallacy)… and there are even shoehorns literally with long sticks for the elders…
Current reddit is not like “reddit” anymore for a while… nothing is forever
Well, is not like I can really chose what I “like” (my standards) beyond a certain point, most of mine at least are not a rational decision, I do not feel like I can really force me into tastes…
Headed? I would say that we are a looney toon several meters in the air beyond the cliff border after traverse a mountaing through a tunnel painted in the wall with an ACME parachute… and I think that I fell short in the hyperbole
