I would suggest Vintage Story, a standalone game which came out of the Minecraft modding community. Unlike Minecraft, the gameplay focuses more on semi-realistic hardcore survival with far more depth when it comes to geology, AI animal behavior, and industry, in an immersive world with seasons and all. It also has light automation such as windmill-powered smithing hammers and more.

The modding ecosystem is great as it has a fully-supported API, and you can download mods as you connect to servers.

No idea about the pecs, but penguins have powerful short legs for swimming, which would explain the "abdominal" crease in the middle. Plus it was drawn in the early 90s?

Old Reddit puts the ads at the top, where they can easily be ignored by experienced users. With the endless scroll, they intentionally make it difficult to distinguish from content.

In the anime, she doesn't show up until 9 episodes in. Seems they made 10 episodes here, they probably haven't even casted her yet (probably waiting to be renewed for more episodes).

I've kind of read most the characters of the anime as of ambiguous/mixed ethnicity.

I can see why someone might be "anti-Stalinist" back in the day (Orwell was wrong about a lot of things, but he was right about how Soviet persecution of Trotskyists crippled unity among the ranks and opposition to Franco), but there's nothing left of Stalinist political influence (except in cliquish online communities) to be angry about these days.

The worst part of Rumble is that it’s backed by Peter Thiel: neo-reactionary VC mass surveillance vendor: Thiel is head of Palantir, an In-Q-Tel (CIA) funded firm that licenses data sets and analytics to police departments and ICE/CBP. Hypocritical for alleged critics of mass surveillance like Gabbard and Greenwald to embrace a platform financed by it.

the book advocates for “stakeholder capitalism” instead of “stockholder capitalism”

I think the distinction is made to distinguish between different aspects of capitalism, as shareholder capitalism reflects some of the most extreme aspects of capitalism. As for the context of advocacy: “stakeholder capitalism” is the idea that you can make capitalism less bad by tying involvement with ownership: no stock market, no absentee landlordism, no monopoly acquisitions, etc. As something one would advocate, it can range from slightly-left-of-whatever-you-would-describe-Elizabeth-Warren-to-be to Socialism-in-Disguise.

This system, in which state bureaucrats managed large chunks of the economy, ranging from transportation to energy, stayed in place well into the 1970s.

This book refrains from naming it, but Varoufakis calls the system from WWII to 1973 the "Global Plan", and the era that followed the Global Minotaur. In the framing of above, this is when Nixon ended the Bretton Woods system and "shareholder capitalism" completely devoured anything left of managerial regulated Keynesian-influenced Capitalism. Xi's China definite draws from the pre-1973 American capitalist model that worked so well, though while Keynes was perfectly satisfied preserving a functioning version of capitalism for the time being, Xi Jinping describes it as a stepping stone towards socialism: the "initial stage of socialism" according to Xi Jinping Thought (a stage that doesn't seem to have much room for labor rights).

His wife is a founder of the Rose Caucus. Also, Lee Carter is a hardline Marxist.

If he was trying to get away from politics, he wouldn't be trying to become Governor. But being a delegate did indeed suck, he got paid shit for it: $18k a year, and had to drive for Lyft on the side to live, so I suppose he could have figured to go for broke and try to become governor as to end his political career in a spectacular failure. He considers himself to have had a healthy conscience, but I don't see letting neolibs dominate Virginia by being unrealistic sitting well with me.

I think it started in 2018 when some DSA members raised question about his abuse claims (in that they wanted to be sure he wasn't pre-empting to cover up his own part in it), which at some point escalated and caused a rift with Lee Carter making blanket statements about the organization as a whole, conflating it with his concerns that the organization is too liberal. His partner/campaign manager created the Rose Caucus, which was founded on the concern the DSA wasn't leftist enough, which ran an electoral slate of 25 candidates with no victories. This past year, he started twitter attacks on the DC DSA chapter and individual members (one for having a low-level job at Center for American Progress), most notoriously saying this: https://twitter.com/carterforva/status/1356406734890401792

Well, he could have done without picking unnecessary online fights with the DSA, and losing their volunteer force.

I don't know what he was thinking with his Gubernatorial run. He ignored every concern about strategy, alienated the volunteer force that got him into office and completely lost the support of the DSA in favor of the Rose Caucus. Does he not understand you need the support of people to win elections? Was it just for vanity? Was he hoping he could win on merit of ideas alone, in a state filled up with defense contractors and hill insiders? He was a great legislator, but his stubbornness made him intolerable and unrealistic.

It got the Arrested Development/Firefly treatment.

if the upload speed were 50% faster, it would qualify as broadband in the US (2 Mbps vs 3 Mbps).

Pfim Pfool without his beanie give away this being satirical.

Maybe, but the name comes from Nitter being implemented in the Nim language (which I highly recommend if you write code): https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

I could try hosting a server if there's interest. RAM might be an issue on a VPS, so I might just go with a dedicated hosting company.
