This feels like one of those things that pops up in Europa Universalis game and you say “meh whatever, not my problem” and x it out.

Then several real time hours later you realize that maybe you should have been paying more attention to that region after all and now your allies need your help in an unwinnable war.

Would explain why right wing art is always garbage, and they can’t make music for shit

Yeah, there isn’t much originality in Christianity. Besides the point, really.

How many billions of people in 2026 are Hellenistic? Like actually, earnestly, believe in Greek mythology?

What percent of politicians in the US worship Greek gods and use their teachings to inform policy?

Cold reading. That’s how it works.

They’re also just inert balls of gas that are way too far away to have any effect on our planet

some people like astrology, some people like drugs, god, the universal conciousness, whatever. pick your passion.

Now hold on… One of these things is actually real though, and has very direct effects on your consciousness. It’s insane to include drugs in there.

And you can’t see how stupid this is?

You forgot the part about how it’s determined by giant balls of gas millions of light years away that aren’t actually arranged in neat patterns, but are actually incredibly far from one another and only look like patterns from our specific position in the universe

There’s a few hours at certain points of my work day, on certain days, where I’ve got nothing better to do. And this is the only form of “social media” that I consume.

I disagree that it’s superhuman but I guess I’ll take it as a compliment (I know it isn’t 😕)

Edit: Actually, just kidding, I’d never do this while I should be working. That was a joke.

Could make it an installation at a museum or gallery. Who said anything about needing to personally own the hardware?

You’re not gonna believe this…

The advanced tactics of a negotiating genius.

I mean, it’s a cartoon rabbit from the 60s…

Honest question: are there people who still care at this point? I was a massive fan of the book series, before the show. I remember waiting for A Dance with Dragons.

But I lost interest years ago. I’m not sure I’d even read it, unless it came out and everyone was saying it’s incredible or something.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this, it’s great. How did someone even make this in 1967?

Trying to think of anything similar… Maybe some parts of Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield?

Completely different genre and technology level, but at points it made me think of Avalanches interestingly enough.

Check out Avalanches either way, they’re unbelievable.

It’s literally photos from 2024 and then 2026.

Someone should make this into a VR experience. Maybe then people will actually grasp the reality for the people on the ground.

And again I ask… To what end?

Let’s not forget that he’s the one that invented the rules that allegedly required such a stupid and convoluted plan.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Wow what a good entity that is totally deserving of my worship.

Nothing says divinity better than petty human emotions like jealousy, and open threats to my unborn children and grandchildren.
