Yes, that is the speed you’re going, then the acceleration you experience due to the change in direction as the earths surface revolves about an axis is a = v²/r. R being the radius of the earth. This gets us our small acceleration value.

You do experience this small acceleration as a very small reduction in weight. You actually weigh more at the poles than the equator. You don’t feel the velocity at all, as the whole planet is moving with you.

Maybe my math is wrong but: The Earth’s radius is about 6,371 kilometers. With this large radius and a 24-hour rotation period, the centripetal acceleration at the equator is only about 0.034 m/s². This is tiny compared to Earth’s gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s². So the centripetal effect is only about 0.3% of gravity’s effect.

Even worse than ai…

That is not the intention of the meme, and not the way it’s read. Are we supposed to also think that young girls wishing to go to college is also an equivalent to rape just because it’s in the same panel? What sense is there to that? You have misinterpreted the meme. The meaning is as follows: the 50s sucked, gay men were forced to be in the closet, drug use was rampant, women’s rights sucked, sexual abuse was unchecked, disease was rampant, etc. and everyone just pretended life was perfect.

Being sick and gay are also things that happened in the 50s but which were not widely discussed.

They shared the chat using Google’s built in sharing feature, so it seems legit.

And somewhere in Sweden Simon Stålenhag sneezes.

Banksy has official proxies they use to communicate with the press.

The fight scene in question btw. So god damned satisfying to watch. What a surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XTwcJWyrYc&t=610

I still have fond memories of watching the Twilight movies in theaters. Abysmal writing, but damn if they aren’t entertaining to watch. I still remember the audiences reaction to every character getting totally murdered in the last movie (if you know, you know). What an epic film.

My social anxiety is about to turn against me, isn’t it?

Many ancient practitioners of stoicism were wealthy statesmen, including emperors. And, the literate elite were certainly enamored with it. I’m not a historian, but stoicism was shaped by wealthy and powerful people, as was every popular philosophy.

I’m not opposed to it. I like aspects of Stoicism. But, When it comes to wealth, it always rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed so often to me that wealthy stoics make a virtue out of possessing, but not coveting wealth, and in doing so make a vice of dissatisfaction with one’s wealth. For a rich man, this is reasonable. However, a poor man is correct to be dissatisfied. Poor men need to be angry, and to rise up and demand wealth (in my opinion), their pain and anguish is meant to be felt and to stoke action.

Stoicism is not often presented as compatible with this mindset of mine. I’m sure there are types of stoicism which address this, but most influencers seem to present Stoicism though a relatively uncritical lense.

My caveat to this is that many of the foundational individuals to stoicism, as well as present influencers, are members of the upper class, and while there are a lot of great ideas in there, stoicism can often be distilled into a philosophy of rugged individualism which is more easily achieved with wealth, power, and privilege.

I am of the opinion that stoicism is good, but a disproportional number of those who practice it are often out of touch.

I frequently forget that chrome is installed on my phone. The only time I’m forced to use it is about once a year when I order Papa John’s Pizza takeout. Their checkout page doesn’t seem to work in any other browser.

It rapidly became one of my favorite single player games of all time after I bought it in late 2020. However, it is fundamentally a hiking simulator with a light sprinkling of open world stealth/action/horror gameplay and some innovative passive online multiplayer mechanics.

So, it might just not be your cup of tea. Especially if you don’t like simulation / management games such as fight simulator 2020, FTL, etc. However, if you enjoy meditative or atmospheric games, such as dear ester, fallout 3, valheim, Firewatch, maybe give it a shot when it’s on sale. The world building is fantastic, and the vibes are sublime.

As far as I know, this hasn’t been mentioned, but I hope it launches for PC day 1. I’ve played DS1 through twice on steam deck. That said, DS2 may require an upgrade.

Welp, I tried folks. Sorry!
