I think flat earth ideas are fascinating. Guess I'm a bit nuts but I enjoy reading how they explain things. :)

I don't think they are more dumb than anyone else. If you ask someone random to explain how gravity keeps the water on the surface, they can't of course. Everyone goes to a web page and looks it up.

So I enjoy reading it. It's just fun and interesting.

That's not why most people drive cars. I've lived in cities with public transport all my life. But when I got my driving license, my life quality increased enormously. It's like night and day. Not only can I drive where I want when I want, I can avoid other commuters that are very often loud or annoying. I don't have to stand at bus stops or train stations and seeing them being delayed or canceled either.

I agree that some people drive poorly though. But the solution is to train them better, not to get rid of cars. You can hardly have an adult life with family without a car.

Yeah it sounds extreamly unusual that people in Paris live so close to their home. But I think the French culture is about enjoying life as much as possible. They may choose a job nearby to avoid having to deal with shitty transports every day.

I never see the homepage even. It shows up if you close the browser? I never do that on my phone.

Most important thing is you can change your search engine to whatever you want.

But I agree. It seems the foundation is not focusing on the browser the way they should. All other side projects seem pointless.

They are going to make a new tab organizer though. That will be fun to see.

Yup but that's fine, they are full of crap anyway. :)

I personally can't stand an instance where the admins block other instances based on their personal beliefs.

In this case however, I imagine they are afraid of legal issues, which makes sense, being the largest instance.

Doesn't mean they don't either. :)

I think it's likely they do. There has been so many sightings through the years and so many stories that I believe no smoke without fire, so to speak.

It's also what we would do. We (humans) would have similar strategy if we had similar technology to visit other planets.

Of course. Humans are not born to live in square apartments next to noisy and ugly things.

The forest is absolutely beautiful and spiritually healing.

Humans can't even make anything as beautiful as a tree. We just make square things and blocks. We like when things are in a straight line with equal height and width. We like symmetry in everything.

But real beauty is the forest.

I don't see why it's suddenly the best space game... The core mechanic seems to be the same as the original. Mine materials that are the same on every planet, so you can build space ships and better miners that take more materials and do it over and over again.

When I was playing on launch day, I had a really good first impression but it turned into disappointment, since all the planets had the same minerals. May as well stay on the first planet forever.

I think the reasons was ridiculous. The fact that people didn't like the word master anymore. But I'm used to it now, so fine, let's use main. It makes sensitive people feel better.

I don't know what this is since I dont use windows, and it makes me happy.
