You are utterly delusional.

It might be that you have a mistaken view of cave dwelling.

Most such settlements only used relatively shallow rock-face caves, which eliminates the majority of your listed risks.

Without reliable light sources, you’ll appreciate that people weren’t delving kilometers deep into the ground. Caves were simply a way to protect from the elements and to provide a choke point to better defend against wild creatures.

Wars are won (and lost) as a result of supply chain logistics.

One of the most important elements of the war machine is a well-fed and well-equipped soldier. As such, most armies have dedicated logistics divisions to ensure supplies, weapons, and machinery get to where they are needed on time.

Consequently, supply chain interdiction or disruption is a powerful weapon of war. To interfere with your enemy’s logistical operations is to reduce the overall effectiveness of their combatants and thus their strategy.

Modern-day Russia was not prepared for this war to last as long as it has, their commanding officers have little regard for their soldiers, and they’ve historically had poor logistics to begin with.

This makes it easy to disrupt their supply chains, if they were even set up in the first place. Add this to tribalist infighting and a general lack of cohesion and you end up with people going hungry.

Yeah, this is depressing in so many ways. Poor kids.

Do you?

I almost didn’t even post this response.

No lie

It’s a huge jump. Difficult to compare it to a game on another platform though.

I agree, Unity’s aggressive monetisation encourages devs/publishers to do the same. Tbf, the guy behind it all has been quoted saying that anyone who doesn’t aggressively monetise their game is an idiot…

Thought a discussion on this might be interesting. Unity may be signing their death but the decisions will have an impact on lots of studios and games in the meantime.

Not really sure what to do with this particular one myself. I’ve been really looking forward to Hometopia but this is a difficult pill to swallow for a game that proudly stated it would “always be free-to-play”.

PowerToys is the way.

You awful, awful person.

Good grief, that’s very good.

This is absolutely fascinating. I can’t even.

One of my schools didn’t have a dress code in the way you imagine it. There were rules, but only in the broadest sense (no nudity and such). A kimono would not have been considered to be in violation.

Studies show that wind turbines kill a fraction of a percentage of the total bird population. Not ideal, but ultimately negligible.

That’s awesome, I’m really happy for you!

PowerToys is very much live and available for download. I use it daily.

I love this.

It’s so weird that we exist at all.

Like, what even is the universe? Why do we happen to exist within this bubble of chemistry and physics?

One thing that always struck me is how anyone can act in selfishness given how lucky we are to exist in the first place. Why squander this opportunity to do something amazing? We should all be living in idyllic peace and comfort. Otherwise, what’s the point?

We might be the only ones to ever be aware of our existence. Like you said, in another scale we might appear and be snuffed out in an instant. Why condemn our already uncertain legacy?

Talk about irrelevant, good grief.
