The Exigent Duality

Wait a minute... 44% of "millenials" prefer socialism to freedom yet simultaneously, 76% of these same people say that "pay or salary" is the most important factor when considering a job.

In other words, either these people have no clue what "socialism" actually is-- so, Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, modern-day North Korea and Venezuela, and so on-- or they have a staggering lack of self-awareness. But no matter: as always, it's other people who should forego profit, not myself.

In other news, how much of this "defense" bucket is actually defense? In my entire life time of nearly 40 years, America has never been attacked by another country, with "9/11" being the only possible exception. And even then, the reflexive counter-action didn't even target the culprit (the Saudis, probably). In other words, I have never seen this country's military act in self-defense.

As I wrote about a couple of months ago, Google's search results have an absurd Left-bias. Here are more examples to throw on the fire.

Finally, and most astonishingly: the new Star Control game is actually good! I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic, and it doesn't do anything particularly interesting from a technology standpoint. But, it's the first game in its sub-genre since 1996-- so the novelty of once again exploring solar systems, having no idea what will happen next, is back in full force.
