FIRE!!

Well, I'm still going to be nice to them.

Cool. I hear Canada's great. And it's pretty diverse, so you can live in New France or Super-Oregon or Canadian Alabama, or Alaska For Reals. They have a true love for doughnuts and fries and rail service and some beautiful landscapes. Plus hardly any drop bears or any of those Australian things that will murder you horribly for no particular reason because they're primoridal and you built a house on them.

Good call, IMO.

what periods of time were considered decent by all

A good question - I think you'd have to define "decent" and "all" before we could hazard a guess though.

And agree on the morals of the universe, I think that was an artifact of the time it was originally concieved. The more common version I see omits "morals" and just says "the arc of the universe" which isn't so jarring. In other words the morals either are omitted from the concept or their inclusion is implicit in whatever morals exist in the universe to the listener - which in our case would be none, but others may see some.

This opinion piece has a similar view that moral isn't useful here and "justice" is only what we actively work to make it. IMO that's an unfortunate countering of the phrase's popularity and sort of robs it of some of it's inherent optimism by demonizing 'magical thinking' - which is a whole other bag of worms I have no intention of opening up.

I prefer the sort of basic idea that the unknowable is geared to good, we just have to see it. I disagree that that's 'magical thinking' in the pejorative, I just think that it's not wrong. Context is all of course, and in the largest context we can concieve, good is either the default or it's moot to the point that it may as well be for what we can know now.

Be kind to the elderly and children and women. Most women. Okay I dunno that last one is tricky. Whatever.

That's all it's saying. Not "Hooray everything's great". Just - hey - we can figure it out. And in the meantime, be cool and take care of your people as best you can.

Also good.

Hey - if you can get physical copies of it, great.

A Steam bundle they can take from you with a click - nah. F that.

Heck yeah go get 'em.

There's a lot of people with too much on their backs to do it though. Kids, parents, money, jobs, love, etc.

For them (not you or the go getters) spare a thought, as they say.

Sure, I guess, but I've never had any problem getting these roms in particular. They're all out there ready to go. I had to learn how to burn a retropie image but that was the extent of it. Other than that, I played them all for "free" - essentially, and the archival efforts of the community were way more appreciated than a Steam bundle would be. For me that is.

Yeah I'm mad AF too. But everyone I know is a good person who didn't vote for the rapist.

I mean. An RPi and a retropie image is nice, cheap, and easy and it gives much more than a Steam bundle. Plus the legality of paying Steam for a bundled version is - tenuous, at best. Most of those companies haven't existed for decades and it's not like the authors are getting royalties anyway.
