What if the original writers were to come back, and the culture of the former company were restored? It's probably a pipe dream, but it makes me wonder whether it's just audience burnout and corruption. For example, could current-day Bethesda make a great Elder Scrolls game, considering that most of the employees from the older titles no longer work there?

I think these haven't been shared yet: Another one:

Great! macOS: some things good. Windows: some things not so good. No homo, but who can say no to Shaquille?

You guys are missing out on oregano... I've achieved Absolute Catness Consciousness.

I understand, I like it as well. It's consistent, seamless, efficient, and it stays out of your way, unlike Windows... at times. It can even look nicer, too - partly because its user interface is fairly coherent. And honestly, who isn't gay these days?

We like creating cosmologies and models, but they differ from what is actually true - which is unknown most of the time. In a highly subjective, socially constructed world, it is incredibly difficult to pinpoint what is taking place accurately. We are not even clear on what's going on in our own experience, much less in that of others. Grand narratives inevitably miss the reality right in front of you, because they are abstract, conceptual overlays that we invent and impose onto things. It is tempting to do that, relatively easy to adopt, and sometimes useful, but they are untrue.

Belief is more insidious than we realize. It's not to be resisted, but rather recognized, in my view.

Being comical is distinct from being funny.

I see, I'm not very fond of them. Protector of pineapples...

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

What if some aliens are ant-like and their vehicles are tiny?

Jesus also ate meat (and fish.) Throughout history, there have been enlightened warriors in certain regions, such as China, who literally killed in battle. Sun Tzu was a military strategist. Ramana died of cancer. Chögyam Trungpa was an alcoholic, and Nisargadatta smoked heavily. Osho and Adi Da were involved in various scandals. Some apocryphal texts portray the young Jesus as temperamental. What I'm saying is that whatever is true is true now, and that's what enlightenment gets you. However you live your life is already how you live your life. How you behave is how you behave. I am separating fantasies and images of "enlightenment" from the reality of it. This is not to say that our actions lack consequences, or that we should be careless in how we live. Ultimately, though, this specific topic of diet is a matter of preference - a value judgment - that is up to the individual. It doesn't touch the truth in any way. Which is why bringing "the absolute" into these conversations is not useful, the way I see it. Handle relative things on their own terms. One way to frame this issue could be: What does a healthy diet consist of? Answering questions of this kind can take many forms, and different criteria could be used, even in how the topic is framed. Regarding compassion, remember that Gautama, after his massive enlightenment, initially chose simply to retreat into the forest to live out the rest of his life. A nearby monk asked him to teach, and he replied, "Why? Nobody will get it." The monk said, "Somebody will." He replied: "True. Somebody will." (Something like that). Based on this possibility, he dedicated his life to teaching. We imagine that such massive awakening would produce an extraordinary form of compassion, yet his first impulse was not at all to help or teach others, but to live out his life and die. Why was that? Compassion might not be what we think it is. It is an interesting subject to contemplate.

Was particularly interested in his focus on quality storytelling. In some cases, a gradual decline in quality seems to occur over time, as seen in media franchises such as Disney (in general), The Simpsons, the Star Wars films, or the Elder Scrolls games. It seems that something is (perhaps "inevitably") lost in that process. Could be called devolution, or complacency?

"This guacamole thing sure tastes better than hemlock."

Huh, true.

Pheww, that was close!

That's the thing. It's essentially a small living-room PC running a custom Linux version - something like a console, but in a PC form factor. The idea is to offer an affordable, convenient entry point into PC gaming, or maybe to serve as a complementary device for users who already own a high-end PC. Depends on the use case. Many dislike the direction Windows is taking, so these devices may turn out to be a solid alternative. SteamOS surpasses Windows in areas like customizability, openness, privacy and so on. Windows has become increasingly bloated and performs worse than certain lightweight Linux distributions, in some cases. But that won't run every game. Linux doesn't play well with certain kernel-level anticheats used by some popular games.

He did say spices. You will be snorting oregano.
