Loved that book.

The moon is 400Mm away. Never say thousand kilometers again, the mega is the way.

Imaging if we started saying millions of kilobytes instead of GB.

You only read about the ones that get caught though...

Yeah, I remember that. I didn't like how it felt tbh. Spend 3 points to get a what, +4 on a d20 roll? That feels real bad when the d20 rolls high and didn't matter or rolls low and doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter 4/5 of the times so at the end of an adventuring day if you spent all your might on bonuses it could only pay off once.

I mean sure, you get discounts as you level up, and yes, it really pushes you to use cyphers to actually solve problems, as trying for things directly was always a toss up, and that does push you towards the main themes of exploiting random artifacts all the time but I still didn't like it.

Or even wood that is 2' by 3' by 3mm.

Forgot about deli meet for the weight. It's always "I want 300 grams of sliced black forest ham", and not whatever that is in imperial. Do they use ounces for that?

I mean that role was SpaceX. Give them lots of money and get cool rockets. It was going great, and it was great for his image as it's not very political. But I guess he got bored.

I was actually trying to play through that with my 202 level Chinese. I had a notebook with my translations and everything. Actually pretty good, and I like the unit Square via actual stats, as well as the fact reinforcements are all at the footsteps markers, and you never have someone popup and stab you.

But yeah what if the French Revolution also had magic girls?

And you might even get to know people who visited the same dedicated server, and make friends.

I even got admin access and set up some mods (pyro dodgeball night woo).

Good times.

You remember that orange soap you put in dry hands, and only after lathering wash with water? My hands never felt cleaner than after autoship class.

The way I think about this is somewhat novel I think.

Suppose we have two universes, everything the same, except one has free will and one doesn't. Would an observer be able to tell them apart? I don't think so. Maybe I just lack imagination, but I don't see how free will would actually make a difference.

Your decisions determine what kind of person you are and what kind of person you are determines what decisions you make. They are self reinforcing and tied up together in a big path dependant knot.

Wanting to be a better person also only works if you let it change your decisions, bringing you one step closer to being a better person.
