Except for me of course.

Even if they didn’t, you generally recharge in your house where hopefully not everyone can see your stuff.

I guess they might say if you include the deportations it’d be over 100%

Haha what the fuck?

Kinda, but I’m more or less resigned to the inevitability of it and I’m actually proud of myself, like a little kid, when I go out to eat and DON’T somehow end up wearing part of my dinner

I didn’t know who that was before looking it up and I totally thought you were taking about the Pokemon lol

Look it was a long thread okay.

I haven’t been presented with any Ts and C’s. Do they apply if I already installed Firefox before this?

But I thought the entire basis for people wanting a product like ground news was that it can be difficult to get facts or to have a firm grasp of reality where it pertains to the types of events we’d call “news” because the only way in which people other than active participants in the events or journalists, can gather such facts is through media. Since one doesn’t reliably know what facts have been omitted or distorted when consuming media, the main way to get another perspective and hear different narratives, framings and details of the story are through any media other than the one you’re consuming. This can be misleading because there is a lot of it and in addition to the possibility of outright materially incorrect facts, one could also be gathering the facts within the framework of a perspective that serves agendas or corporate necessities or biases inherent to a given publication. With a lot of different media options including many one mightn’t even know about and with opacity surrounding what media is subject to what biases and agendas among other influences the process of comparison and analysis based on multiple media sources is cumbersome and time consuming and likely incomplete. What the ground news guys are claiming to offer is a service where they do some of that work for you and some kind of a methodology by which they do their analysis.

Whether one trusts them to do it, or if their analysis is fair, or how thorough they are or if their criteria and methodology provide a useful framework for analysis is a different question similarly hard to answer but I don’t see how your proposal for comparing against “facts” isn’t going to fail for the same reason simply consuming news media uncritically to try and stay informed would. Unless you’re experiencing events first hand or personally conducting journalism you’re always going to have limited capacity to know what the facts are or how they are distorted by the media from which you get them.

Even better then, your speech would be so memorably bad that people would be even more certain it was you and you couldn’t have been elsewhere.

If he’s you and you want to be free of your life and wish it could be someone else’s problem then your duplicate is just going to run a mile and thank their lucky stars for this break.

I’m pretty nice. I think it’d take some more intense circumstances like in Dark Matter before I or a copy of me wanted to kill anyone. I wonder if I’d be ok with taking turns for time with loved ones.

I sometimes wonder why AoE 1 never gets any love in the present day the way AoE 2 does… I’m sure 2 is probably better but I just spent so much time playing 1 that it feels way better to play that now for that reason alone. I had a go at 2 when I got a disc for it with a pack of cereal once and it was good but it just wasn’t right somehow, lost some of the simple charm of 1.
