  • There are people out there who are closer to animals than humans when it comes to intelligence. While they have the benefit of speech thanks to the benefits of being raised in a society, there is very little logical thought. They go through life bouncing from one base emotion to the next, never taking the time to examine why they feel the way they do, or considering if others might feel the same or differently.

    These are bottom tier intelligence people; the ones that exist in the overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest animals. The kind of people who could be outsmarted by a crow. They walk among us. They work jobs. They vote. They drive. It’s terrifying.







  • I’m a Nintendo fanboy. I totally get the criticism, most of it is valid. The problem is that people then use things like their pricing, poor hardware, and constant use of the same IPs and extend that into a broad claim of “Nintendo Sucks”; all while completely dismissing the only thing that really matters:

    They make fun games.

    At the end of the day, despite their technical flaws, if I had to pick ONE game company to play exclusively for the rest of my life, it’d be Nintendo, there’s not even a close second for me. Despite all the complaints, if they come out with a new Zelda or Mario game, it’s more likely than not to be an absolute 10/10 game. Why? Because again, they make fun games.

    How many companies have pushed out some 4k, 120fps, hyper-realistic graphic style game, only to have completely flat gameplay? Nintendo seems to be the only company that realizes that first and foremost, they are a game company. Not a hardware company, or a graphics company, or some new metaverse VR BS company, but a game company.








  • “Even though the artificially saturated color was known at the time amongst planetary scientists — and the images were released with captions explaining it  —  that distinction had become lost over time.”

    Things like this are why I have a bit of a bone to pick with astrophotography. Those breathtaking images of nebula or gas clouds? Manipulated to the point they might as well be fake.

    “This is what the nebula would look like if we could see IR and if we made all the different elements like Hydrogen and Nitrogen glow in different neon colors to distinguish them”

    Cool, so not actually at all what the nebula looks like. Got it.

    But that’s what the public sees, and most people think that if you had a powerful enough telescope, you’d see all these amazing colors and details. But that’s not really the case at all.
