You’re doing the 'stare through ’ method instead of the ‘crossed eyes’ method.

If you swap the position of the left and right images it will work the way you’re doing it.

You can do a lot to improve how it looks, too. There’s a lot of custom terrain, and you can download meshes made from satellite photos.

It also works better in VR.

It’s trivially easy to add a logo to a photo even in MS Paint, but I’m not surprised the cops went with the “no thought required” option instead.

I remember liking that movie despite it getting pretty bad reviews.

I should give it another watch now that I’m grown up.

Wow, they really got the chatbot to sound like a right-wing debate bro shithead. They must have had a lot of training data laying around somewhere.

When you ride alone, you ride with MechaHitler.

I should get back into that one. I played some in early access, and it was fun.

It’s my favorite racing game. Good pick.

I’ll definitely look at Sailwind, I’d love a good sailing sim. Thanks for the rec!

That was another great one; it’s one of the most fun eras to fly in.

To look at a historical analogue:

The system of government was formed whereby leading Nazi officials were forced to interpret Hitler’s speeches, remarks and writings on government policies and turn them into programs and legislation. Hitler typically did not give written orders; instead he communicated them verbally, or had them conveyed through his close associate, Martin Bormann. He entrusted Bormann with his paperwork, appointments, and personal finances; Bormann used his position to control the flow of information and access to Hitler. Hitler’s cabinet never met after 1938, and he discouraged his ministers from meeting independently.

Hitler’s leadership style was to give contradictory orders to his subordinates and to place them into positions where their duties and responsibilities overlapped with those of others, to have “the stronger one [do] the job”. In this way, Hitler fostered distrust, competition, and infighting among his subordinates to consolidate and maximise his own power.

The process allowed more unscrupulous and ambitious Nazis to get away with implementing the more radical and extreme elements of Hitler’s ideology, such as antisemitism, and in doing so win political favour. It was protected by Joseph Goebbels’ effective propaganda machine, which portrayed Hitler as a heroic and infallible leader. Further, the government was portrayed as a dedicated, dutiful and efficient outfit. Through successive Reichsstatthalter decrees, Germany’s states were effectively replaced by Nazi provinces called Gaue.

Was Top Gun: Maverick really that good? Or is this recency bias? I never saw it.

Specialize it ASAP!

That’s my point: billionaires are an establishment unto themselves, and they’re already in a cartel to control the US government.

Corey Robin put it better than I can in The Reactionary Mind:

Far from yielding a knee-jerk defense of an unchanging old regime or a thoughtful traditionalism, the reactionary imperative presses conservatism in two rather different directions: first, to a critique and reconfiguration of the old regime; and second, to an absorption of the ideas and tactics of the very revolution or reform it opposes. What conservatism seeks to accomplish through that reconfiguration of the old and absorption of the new is to make privilege popular, to transform a tottering old regime into a dynamic, ideologically coherent movement of the masses. A new old regime, one could say, which brings the energy and dynamism of the street to the antique inequalities of a dilapidated estate.

How anyone can see a billionaire as “anti-establishment” is beyond me.

Musk is so impervious to ego-death that I suspect his will hang around for a few decades after his body.

I think it’s a mistake to believe that everyone has a sense of empathy; there are plenty of people who do not because of their brain meat or their experiences.

I think the closest Musk gets is the desperate and pathetic attempts to get gamers to like him: it makes him crazy that he can’t just buy their respect like he does for everything else that he wants.

People like that genuinely believe that they should be in charge because of who they are. He has absolutely no feelings of guilt about the terrible things that he does; he thinks they’re good because he did them.

Narcissistic megalomaniacs, especially ultra wealthy ones, lose their ability to empathize (or even the ability to mask and pretend) because they quite literally never have to care about how another person feels.

I do think he’s confused as to why people hate him though. He sees himself as a lovable cheeky troll instead of the Nazi dickhead that he clearly is.

Sing cuckoo!
