I think that today's world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

All of the recognized "geniuses" that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they're all pretty insane.

You weren't describing nature vs nurture. You were implying eugenics with your last statement.

Did you just say people do evil things because of their genetics?

holy fucking genetic supremecy, batman.

To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can't think of others.

Mandatory third party audits like we do with every other regulated industry.

Illegal strip club brothels are AWFUL. Owners are scum, they'll threaten and blacklist dancers that don't put up, get women on drugs and under their thumbs. Just pimps with a storefront.

What we want is actual legal prostitution, where there are actual regulations and safety checks, not just illusion.

I've never had it happen with any other devices at the desk. Bluetooth, wifi, pc, switch, everything else works perfectly. It's just the pulse playstation headphones.

Anyone living on a major road for a long time will notice their walls slightly yellowing from the smog of all the cars. Not nearly as drastic as all those old houses when everyone used to smoke indoors, but it's not insignificant.

So I can totally see the same thing occurring on rock faces and stuff caused by major industrial emissions.

It's all just talk. If Biden really cared he would have spent his career helping instead of upholding the status quo. He's just generating buzz for next year. It's all meaningless.

That said, better Biden than Trump.

Have they fixed the wifi-interface issue? I can't play my playstation at my desk/monitor without the sound cutting or glitching frequently, and I was reading that it's probably because my wifi router is on the desk.

This Supreme Court ruling will de facto gut the fda, if I remember right. Basically ruling that the courts get to override the fda.

Remember all the chaos of early covid and conservatives railing against the vaccines because they weren't FDA approved? Lol guess it was never about it being approved, was it?

Unless you have it set to never lock its not possible. All phones lock automatically after 30-60 seconds by default.

Yep, this is literally a religion-based hate crime. Hope they can get that kind of charge added. A slap on the wrist will only embolden people. They need real consequences.

So start a drug ring selling black market abortion pills? LOL.

Don't buy tesla. This dumbass thinks it's totally fine to run self driving entirely with only cameras. No lidar or heat sensors or anything else. "Eyes are good enough for humans". Sure, tell that to the tens of thousands killed in car crashes every year.

Man, I might find this impossible to watch for the same reason I can't really watch pandemic related media since covid. It'll give me too much anxiety because at this point it could become very real.

Sure love all these articles whitewashing and still downplayng iit all. The planet is on fucking fire. We are beyond 'acknowledgements'. We need to do something. And what we chose to do was let the fucking Saudis run the show like fucking dumbasses.

We're so fucked.

Lol 'ignore them'? Tell that to the millions of lives this decision will affect. They don't have the ability to just ignore them. Go fuck yourself.

They're not too young to be drug out into the street and executed.

i'd just assumed it was short for "Cope, cause we'll all be fucked by 2028"
