I wish I were someone who could derive enjoyment from meaningless things, but am not wired that way. Sounds like it’d be a blast.

Yep, this is why it’s possible to “reason” ourselves into any position over time, we just have to feel a certain way for long enough for rational justifications to seem plausible.

(Makes it damn hard to derive meaning from anything after a while)

What exactly happens with people who torrent?

I’m enjoying the pace of his continued updates because I get to forget SDV for long enough that playing it again with new contents feels just new enough to be both familiar and interesting at the same time. CA is such a treasure!

Put it on the ballots at the local (city, county) level. Measures don’t begin with elected officials, they begin by figuring out the prerequisites to put measures on ballots: in some places you need petitions with enough signatures by common people for a measure to be considered, the prereqs vary per locality.

I wonder if pages have to be generated individually to appear legit to the crawlers, or if the same contents can be served as different links over and over… if I knew more about how this stuff works I’d try it myself hah.

Can anyone explain what is happening behind the scenes with the “room creation”?? That sounds intriguing. I understand OP is a bot but, is anything described here an actual way of trapping crawlers? How are the crawlers fooled by any of this?

Meh. Who cares about these monetary judgements, they don’t change anything. I want to see metaphorical heads roll (people jailed for this.) Fines have no consequences whatsoever.

Remind yourself that a lot of people fall into the trap of boosting themselves at the expense of others around them because it’s a low-hanging-fruit way to make themselves feel better. Their comments aren’t really about you. Someone’s always going to judge, no matter what we do. At least you try, that *is *worth something.

hmmmm I should load up Rimworld again
