The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.

until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you.

It’s called a torrenting client

Every game gets modded, the number of mods reflects how easy it is to do, not the need for them.

I had a similar experience. Loved it then, like it even more now.

A person is their experiences though, the meat shell on its own can’t ever become the person killed without experiencing life in the exact same way and at the same time as the previous one.

It’s a lost cause, I have to fight off the Soviet plant builders every time I leave the house. They’ll manage it eventually.

Plenty of outspoken state critics have had the CIA’s highest reward for investigative journalism administered cranially.

The more sophisticated the system, the more sophisticated your method must be to break it. Eventually the means to break it will grow out of the reach of guerilla movements

They are optional you know?

Or at least the expectations people had made for themselves.

Not soon enough, that glowing bastard has it coming!

So called seamless experiences just add time and tedium, because they’re hidden loading screens. Take me to the content please.

You have done that yourself

That’s 4x higher than car related deaths per number of car owners, and cars require a license and insurance, and doing something dangerous with one can have you lose your right to use it permanently.

Cars have the additional factor that they are practically required for living in the US, so reasonably we would be willing to accept a higher number of deaths than we would otherwise for other objects.

It’s not weird that it specifies a computer program, the use of the term to mean the standard option comes from computing. It’s the value chosen when the computer defaults, as in fails to pay it’s debt (in this case debt being the value it was looking for).

I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest that people prefer meat because it’s the default option and not the other way around.

Old Zealand is in Denmark

You could, but the only reason to do so would be to accommodate a small minority’s ethical dietary decisions, which is the opposite of a default.

No one’s going to chose the slop so there’s no point in having it.

As for subway, their menu is largely determined by sales. They do trial other options occasionally, and the ones that are popular stay.

The units of time we use come from a bronze age civilisation that used base twelve instead of base ten. They’d count on their hands using the finger joints of one for single digits, and then the joints of the other for multiples.

Humans don’t need anything but nutrient slop to survive, but the prisons aim for something better largely because it keeps riots down.

Why would the default be the diet of a small minority?
