    Sounds like they're blocking crawlers through other means

    I'd rather stick to text chat so I can remain a part of the conversation while listening to other stuff.

    • it tells the country the Democrats made a mistake
    • it tells the country that Democrats are incompetent

    These are good points only if the democrats did not make a mistake. If they did make one, then choosing not to fix the mistake for fear of admitting the mistake will only cause bigger issues down the line.

    Read through Blood Meridian while off work with covid. McCarthy's prose is just incredible. Many times during books I tend to get bored during portions that are describing travel, but that was far from the case with this one. I don't know how they're going to make the movie with such intensity of violence, but if they can capture even a fraction of the imagery I'm excited to see it.

    Also continuing Book of the New Sun, and really enjoying it. Finished Claw of the Conciliator and started Sword of the Lictor. I still have no clue where things are going but the world building is just spectacular, and I'm hungry to find out more.

    Just a copy of minecraft will do the job. Would recommend you get the Java version and play on PC, I believe there is a way to get the Bedrock version (mobile and console) working on the server but that'll be a bit more work to set up. There is a whitelist process but all you need is a tildes account to be allowed to build

    It's a fantastic game, but it is as far away from the types of things you like as an RPG can be.

    I think they would still have plenty of incentive to get kids hooked so they'd be easier to advertise to as adults.

    I looked back at what I was referencing and it was more like every week, which isn't quite as bad but still a lot more than I would ever do. I believe it was full doses though, not just microdosing.
