Good vibes and occasional hot takes. Nature, science (-fiction), fantasy, and games. Trying to avoid doom&politics but I'm not perfect. Other random stuff.

Can I propose better tie break rules? Just use the classification of the final race.

Eg: VER 1st, NOR 3rd ➑️ equal points ➑️ VER wins WDC without looking at other races

Much simpler, and gives the season finale a bit more gravitas without the double points silliness.

It's still Norris's and McLaren's championship to lose. But any mistakes will be punished.

Is there anything more American than family drama on #Thanksgiving?

My family's group chat started blowing up at 4am.

As an immigrant, I'm genuinely thankful for my inlaws to treat me like one of their own. πŸ¦ƒ

Why do we still gotta do `SteamDeck=0 %command%` if we want to dock our Decks to our TVs for some couch coop?

I'm confused about "autism treatments/interventions" being on the "least important" end, especially vs improved support being super important. Are respondents saying "current treatments are good enough, stop working on more/better ones"?

Please spare a thought for art history in particular. Where do y'all stand on modern art vs contemporary art?

How liberal we talking? Church-sanctioned gay marriage, or just a lukewarm "I'll leave Francis' legacy alone"?

I'm very curious to see how the new pope approaches Francis' more controversial policies. Will he uphold and champion a more progressive ideology, or pump the brakes and and backpedal to more traditional dogma? Share your predictions!

Thanks Capitalism, for making the market so efficient, the syringe transforms into a wet noodle halfway through my kid's antibiotics course.

Entrepreneurship is not risky.

You know what is?

- Working a job you hate
- Spending time with people you don't like
- Working on problems you don't care about
- Getting out of bed without a smile on your face
