I'm very much out of the loop. Can someone give me a tl;dr of what this is? How it got started, its goals, etc. I heard nothing about this until today.
MCU != comics. That should be WELL established. I know they name-dropped 616 in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that was more like a poor writing choice in an attempt to be an easter egg.
Adding more resources to remove scarcity is dumb. You're acting as if you have 1000 units of resources and 1000 people, but then half it to 1000 units of resources and 500 people, well, they'll just bounce back. But having 2000 units of resources and 1000 people, well, that'll auto balance, and they won't grow to match resources. Or even worse, infinite resources, to ensure scarcity is removed. Iron is a resource. Iron is found inside living things, and it's found in the sun and the core of the planets. Double iron... what happens? The complete genocide of everything. Though it's true, scarcity would be removed because everything is dead. Pick any resources and if you follow it, I mean really think about it, you'll find it's not a "oh just" type of solution. And it ignores the logistics of the whole thing too, he was snapping his fingers once, not putting out a beat, just so he can handle multiple worlds/species/requirements for each. It wasn't open mic night at the MCU.
His plan, which I want to remind you, is in a movie which none of it needs to make sense... because ya know, magic rocks...
If a planet is struggling, due to pollution or overpopulation.... now that's been solved, and they could potentially plan around that for the future. Put policies in place and whatnot. Other planets, well, people are very superstitious. The number of ghost stories on tv or YouTube, or the fact that organized religion exists, proves that. For those folks, seeing "Hey we got up to like X number of people and then god got mad (since 99.99999...% of all living things in the MCU would have no idea what or why half got dusted), we shouldn't do that again". And in the MCU, we see various gods do exist, and they don't give a shit what happens to the mortals (Thor Love and Thunder).
The Confederacy and its people were an enemy foreign state. It wasn't like a little club the South had for a few years. They split from the USA. They were defectors, traitors, enemies of the USA.
Not surprised Donny would do this, though. He dismissed the insurrection on Jan 6th, which was a group of defectors, traitors, and enemies of the USA. He's a 34-time felon, which means he has a history of being against the US, its citizens, and their interests.
Ok, so re-install Steam! 😆
Pretty sure what I got was Snap. I was presented an App installer thing that kinda reminded me of the Microsoft Store (except, way less laggy). I think I remember seeing the word Snap.
Is there a way to verify that I have the right drivers for the video card? When it comes to GUI, I have a very Windows mindset, where I need to install the proper drivers, else I get the basic "well it works" drivers which aren't good for gaming.
I just built a new machine, for a time I'll try some Steam on Linux. For the latest version of Ubuntu and an Intel 570. No idea what I'm doing, lol. (Normally just use Linux server).
It's relative. And also works easier to navigate the calendar. If we're planning something for next year I pull up next year's calendar. If it's this years and we're planning something for later this year, when I hear you say August, that's the month I go to. But if you say the 27th of August, The first thing I heard was the 27th which could possibly be this month or next month if it's say the 28th today.
This thread shows that a whole bunch of people need to start taking online education courses. Getting back your algebra skills, some science perhaps, communication, history, etc.
I don't know where you can get a proper education for that after grade school, but I see Brilliant.org advertised a lot.
I lot of people are like this. They don't conceive a world outside their own. When I was in grade school, so many people in my hometown thought that... we were going to be the next Columbine (not like there were any kids actively acting odd, just the feeling that we were somehow important enough to have such a tragedy). They also thought several big companies were going to open up shop (like Best Buy, Red Lobster, etc... it was the 90s). Currently, some people still live there who think they have the highest number of Somalians living there (they don't), the largest amount of Muslims (they don't), and they're like the drug central for the state (they're not). It's a small town filled with people who don't really travel more then a few hours any direction and so they really don't have a concept of what's outside their world. The town of 20,000 must represent ALL 8+ billion people. If something bad is happening somewhere, then it MUST be happening really close to them. I had someone message me about how the Chinese were basically getting ready to invade them (so many texts about that). Oh, and after 9/11, so many people legit though that small town no one knows exists, was definitely going to be targeted next by middle-eastern terrorists...
Potentially, I don't exactly know all the rights owners.
But just looking at the roster, I'd assume Arya Stark might be the most complicated. While HBO falls under WB, unsure if ol' George signed away all rights to the character. And there's always future deals too, since rights holders can change hands.
