@futurebird Yeah. And then there's the fact that these don't have dire wolf culture just underlining they are modifed grey wolves.Really Colossal should stick to their increasing gentic diversity stuff like the pink pidgeon and stop trying to "ressurect" extinct species. But that's not where the money is.

@futurebird D. I have almost every cable but no one needs any because they link things wirelessly as much as possible.

@futurebird Art is hard, and that's ok. It means when it works it's an achievement.

@futurebird I just had a conversation with my wife about this because both of these posts are right. And I talked about what could be done and what the issues were and how I could make things work. But in the end I basically would be me running a masto instance with a few arms for a few hundred kids all by myself. And I do not have the time, knowledge, or ability to do any of that.But the need is still there.

@futurebird A and D. Because history is fun and stats are handy to know every so often.I had a couple spatial stats classes and k means clustering is fascinating but hard tonuse well sunce you have to run so many iterations.

@Nonilex The big problem is none of these will make any real difference over time. Nicolae Ceaușescu enacted many of these policies in Communist Romania and while they saw very short term boosts in the succeeding couple years the overall trend still was a reduction in births.We can say the same for the European pro-familily policies of the 00's and 10's which improved quality of life but didn't boost birth rates. And we see the same in China, South Korea, Japan and many other places.1/

@davidrevoy @BoydStephenSmithJr Yeah, cyberpunk, to me, is very much an 80's and 90's thing with Willaim Gibson and Bruce Sterling writing on the subjects, among many others. As well as some movies and tv shows, Shadowrun, GITS, and so much more.Of course, Gibson and others annouced the genre dead in the late 90's because real world tech exceeded what they wrote about in many ways. So Cyberpunk the game is almost retrofutureist nostalgic and yet dominates the genre.Sigh.

@futurebird On the political side the show has a left populist host (Ball) and a right populist host (Saagar) and they run an independent opinion/news show. I cannot figure out much more since all the media bias sites I looked at either lock it behind a paywall or don't have them.If this is the sort of thing you find interesting I suggest listening to the Left, Right, and Center podcast from KCRW.

@futurebird Now that I had my coffee here's my more coherent thoughts. As I say to my class, and other people who have said such things to me, and backed up by research, assimilation and acculturation is a roughly 3 generation process. Gen 1 immigrates and does the best they can.Gen 2 is born here and lives in a halfway point between both worlds but can operate freely.Gen 3 is mostly a fully assimilated member of society.1/#geography #immigration

@futurebird @jmjm Simple is important. Especially for those who are not tech savvy or just expect their tech to work.

@futurebird You mean like a soil horizon were a British Iron Age burial mound was built over the existing land?
