DooM 2 is my nostalgic fave. My area code had multiple free 20+ line BBSes, so I was constantly playing 4 player doom matches(more on heretic/hexen/descent etc).

Honorable mention for the new Doom and Doom eternal.

My current favorite doom though is doom seeker and zandronum. Keeping the dream alive with crazy mods. Megaman deathmatch and shotgun frenzy are a delight.

Because it’s IBM. They’ll roll this into “Watson” and send a team of consultants to implement it on a 2 year contract, and then one of the contractors will be socially engineered into giving away your data.

Then you are not somebody to be taken seriously. Live your dream and move to a failed state where anarchy reigns, die from dysentery, and stay out of geopolitical conversations.

If preventing the Palestinian people from having a proper government, leaving them at the mercy of their nation-state neighbors, is wrong, then dismantling Israel and leaving them to the same fate is also wrong.

I didn’t know how else to interpret the dismantling of Israel because they specified punitive actions against the government of Israel separate from the dismantling of Israel.

This implies Israel should cease existing as a nation. Which implies its people would be at the whims of whomever can conquer the land. Which implies the potential scattering of people from their homes. Which is a genocide.

I somehow think that committing a genocide against the Israeli people would not yield the results you think.

The VR wanking and gaming markets are too saturated for Apple to bother with. They want the VR computing market, which is essentially vacant.

I’m an ev fan but I don’t agree that they have more longevity than ICE cars. The current battery chemistries simply don’t allow for it.

Either battery chemistries with 20 years of guaranteed performance would have to be developed, or battery replacement and refurbishment costs will need to come down to say the cost of replacing a head gasket.

This will eventually happen, but current generation of EVs are essentially a recyclable consumable compared to their ICE counterparts.

Basically. After omitting that user base things are much better, if still healthily combative.
