@TheSphereHunter Not sure how easy it is to add in entirely new zones to an RE Engine game, but if someone could add the park area for another 30-60 min to the RC section of the game, and make Nemesis more unscripted, I'd give up my firstborn child.

Better that you wouldn't have had to anticipate the comments in the first place, but the internet can be a cesspool.

The Patriot Act extension passed the House with nearly all Democrats voting for it. When Pres. Trump signs it into law, Democrats will be just as responsible for warrantless surveillance as Trump and the GOP. Neither party is looking out for you. That’s why I’m an independent.

Less commuting. No more slow Fridays. Shorter meetings.

Any company/industry that can afford to do this, should.

Libertarians, constitutional conservatives, and classical liberals believe in protecting whistleblowers to expose government corruption. Trump Republicans believe in exposing whistleblowers to protect government corruption.

These days, I worry about personal/professional risk whenever I want to post about politics. I often end up not posting anything.

We were so busy fearing explicit centralized censorship from governments that we missed the rise of implicit decentralized censorship from our peers.

Friendly reminder that a fight for democracy and human rights is still going on in Hong Kong. The free world can't afford to look away. https://t.co/qjRvjfWsgh #hongkong #PoliceBrutality

"If you're so smart, why aren't you happy?"

I like this Q because it also attacks the deeper idea some ppl have that cynicism/bitterness/pessimism is somehow a cooler aesthetic or a more enlightened way of being.

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: https://t.co/uQRofM4q2u
