  • I watched it so you don’t have to. It’s about a guy who is locked in a Covid-19 individual isolation facility for 7 years (that does not make sense since after about 2 weeks of everyone being locked up all the sick people would be non contagious). In a fantasy dystopia where lizard people are real (there is no evidence they are. It’s a distracting conspiracy story) and people’s freedoms of movement and privacy are completely restricted (privacy has been worse than the movie for a long time. Ironically the guy loves his tablet. Movement restrictions would be too expensive though.) Not to mention that everyone is forced to eat insects and no other meats (you don’t need to eat insects. Meat consumption should be reduced bc. at least 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused because of meat production according to a UN study). Also the rainforest is cut down because it emits CO2 at night(in reality this would release a lot of CO2 captured in the plants). Also only movies which are progressive are allowed ( also wasn’t true as can be seen by the very films existance). There is a bunch of other stuff as well I don’t have the time to get into. It’s not funny or ironic or enlightening. It just gets the reason behind a lot of things happening in the real world wrong and then exaggerates those which makes the thing its trying to say even more wrong.





  • I played Shadow of the Colosses on my Potato PC with PCSX2. Took a bit of fiddling with the settings but it ran great afterwards. It’s one of my all time favourites. It’s an open world boss battler where you defeat giant climbable monsters. They are only vulnerable in specific spots though so in order defeat them you need to figure out how to reach those. The atmosphere is incredible though and the best part of it. If you want try it I highly recommend being hesitant to look up hints for this one since figuring out bosses is the most fun part.












  • I’m also not familar with the template. But it should speak for itself anyway. Diagrams are always selections. If you want a complete data representation you would need a table. If the author of the diagram wanted to show the effect of racial prejudices it would show the actually convicted offenders. There is enough space for another column.

    Well yes. Those statistics are painting a picture of black people being much more likely to be murderers than white people because of their skin colour. It makes it seem like the skin colour is the issue. Since skin colour is inherited that would mean tendencies to murder people are also inherited. Which would form a basis on which racist actions are justified. All of this just because the graph oversimplifies. The actual factors that cause people to commit homicide are complex and include amongst others income, gender, upbringing, view of women and mental health issues. Those correlate with skin colour but require very different actions to solve. So pushing back against those oversimplified statistics and removing them is good since the takeaway’s from it are wrong.




  • As far as I understand it: There once was a layer of hardened clay that lay at the bottom of the sea. Over a long time coral reefs, mussels, fish bones, algea, sand and other detritus accumulated on top of it forming a layer of limestone. Then due to tectonic processes the region gets uplifted above sea level and dries up. The limestone layer hardens and becomes cracked due to tectonic movement (stuff like earthquakes). The softer clay layer doesn’t crack though. Then rain and rivers (over and underground) erode the split apart limestone chunks so the rigid blocks are reduced to conical hills until they disappear completely. The erosion sharply stops at the clay layer though, since unlike limestone, clay is largely waterproof and not as affected by the corrosive water. That’s why you have the last pieces of the limestone layer strewn about on a plain that is the clay layer. In the future there will only be a plain left here. Here’s a picture where this becomes apparent:
