I didn’t realize PBF was posting again. I remember it from an older age of the internet where catching the newest xkcd, SMBC, or PBF was something I looked forward to. Now I suppose going to individual sites for content has been supplanted by the Reddit feed.
I’m not the only one who gets a chill down their spine when they hear this, right?
I hate to invoke Godwin's law on the very first comment on a post, but the industrialization of deportations seems to have alarming parallels to the mass murder Jews and other minority groups in 1930’s and 40’s Europe. I read “Ordinary Men” by Christopher Browning a couple months ago and the thing that stuck out to me is that when the Nazi’s started killing people, they didn’t immediately jump to death camps. The initial steps of the holocaust began as a “deportation” scheme and it was a continual ramping up of the scale of murder.
There has to be extra context here. There is no way we’re getting the full picture. If it really is just as simple as including “question” in the title of a paper then there is some serious mismanagement occurring.
Hey! First I loved PA. It was such a great game. Second, I’m curious how you simulated combat. Was it simply every every server tick you updated all units or was it something smarter?
If this really is the start of a run-away greenhouse effect, realistically how does someone ride out the worst of the coming horrors without being a billionaire with a bunker.
Stealing from a self checkout is a cheap and easy thrill if you’re rich enough to pay for legal representation. For a poor person it represents a much larger threat and most lower paying jobs are much less tolerant of needing to take time off for things like a court date.
Thanks for the the dose of nostalgia :)
