    What are you listening to at the moment?

    wow. hadn't listened to that song in ages. I live about 3 miles from the lakefront in Cleveland. The Great Lakes are vicious once the cold starts to hit. They truly are no joke. Great song about something real.

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Are you kidding me? Roleplaying games basically invented the idea of being transexual. Before D&D, men were men and women were women. I am fairly sure that this is even referenced in RHPS

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    It DID always happen. I am betting we have repressed how often too. Servers would crash. Zones would crash. People would go LD especially during mass operations. It was nightly. Remember setting up chatrooms in the chat lobby during crashes? My guilds would also before hitting a boss like...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Freddie Kitchens, the Browns coach, always looks as if he is trying to catch up to whatever down it is. Maybe he is slow? I am all for getting everyone into the game, but I am not sure makes for a good head coach. But you go Freddie!

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I sit here at noon, thinking of cracking open a brew in preparation for the 1pm game b/w the Browns and the Bills, hoping maybe the Browns won't suck, and I find myself wondering....

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    What about jettisoning the preseason, give every team an extra bye, and make sure a London team gets a "US Tour" with a bye at each end? US teams can arrange those extra byes likewise if they are going to London. Wembley, man, Wembley. That is where stuff happens UK wise.

    the simple fact eq existed was enough for most to forgive a ton of stuff. plus, you always have to add in how iffy everyone's internet connection was. These kinds of disputes only happened later.

    I would call that more thrash than hardcore.

    Agnostic Front. It is funny. At the time, unless I was being stupid, it seemed to me that the NY hardcore scene was never fascist. Or at least I remember, that was not a cool way to be. Nazi punks fuck off was still the basic idea. So skinhead bands were just ... weird and creative, rather than...

    MLB 2019 Season

    I love baseball. The drama gets me every time. And damn, that Astros starter, man do I feel for him. He was rockin. But that is how this game works.

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    Well, it is clear the super wealthy want to become Tessier-Ashpools who live in their own private Villa Straylights, high above us in cloud cities or lagrangian orbit or something. But that only describes maybe what the future will look like for 1 or 2 thousand people. That still leaves open...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Not from Discovery, but this clip proves there is too much money floating around in Hollywood. God was that painful to watch.'' I'm swinging back to at least being mildly entertained by Discovery; it seems they *are* going to do right by the Pike story and hey, they brought Kima on as Burnham's...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Alright I think I am getting to a certain point with this series. This is like if Deadwood sucked when it came to plot. The Universe is fine enough for me. I already said, I think the Kelpians and Suru are among the few alien races star trek has managed to flesh out, outside of course of the...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I'm liking the Browns' chances here. Remember: you can't think like a normal person if you are a Browns fan. You have to look at things in FIVE DIMENSIONS. Chubb must flow.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I agree with you. I just finished watching the Talosian episode, which I thought *might* be really cool, but I give it B-. I appreciate the effort, but either consolidate the canon chosen, or do a clean break into a new timeline like the recent films did. BTW, I thought the movie's new timeline...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I'm basically a TOS fan, it was part of those lost teen years with only broadcast TV, but Star Trek reruns every night after Honeymooners.... or The Odd Couple. NY area broadcast 80's represent! I think this is a good series. I'm halfway done. It has flaws imo mainly in terms of how to wrestle...

    The progressive rock thread

    Fripp is one of those artists that, ultimately, make it very hard to pigeonhole rock and roll. Just like Sun Ra messed shit up. And others.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    My suspicion? Urban Meyer will rise or fall by deals that others are leveraging. He is "saying pardon me to the shark," which is a US saying right? Well, Urban Meyer is saying pardon me to the shark. College Football, much more than pro, thrives off the reputation of a coach. Urban's problem...

    Political physics: Identity and states

    I's and we's. Is the former merely the singular "thing" that gets, as things go, defined into various we's, with the former being an identity and the latter a variable set of states. Does the "I" exist w/o a "we" to be a part of? (Robinson Crusoe problem) If the "I" exists is it simply a...

    Political physics: Identity and states

    Are you a we? You acknowledge I am a you to you, or is it to we? Maybe I am asking the wrong audience. I was looking for I's ultimately, with we's being maybe nothing more than an aggregate of external variables as TBT said, that is, an aggregate of states not identities. But I was wondering, is...

    Political physics: Identity and states

    I find trends toward identity politics unpleasant. So I was thinking, the big mistake we are making is, we are mistaking states for identities, and a state does not define the identity, and an identity is not defined by a single state. Here was my thought experiment. Imagine a car. A car is a...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    AKA the Slack principle. Here is a very local example: In the US, we are more a less a fully state of the art scientifically advanced and literate nation. And what is the result? Do we continue on to Star Trek? I don't think so. Once an aggregate has mastered a skillset, it does not necessarily...
