Just looking at that potato image I think it would have been obvious… The kid on the left is the missing kid and the one on the right is the one they “found”.

Yeah, according to the wikipedia article, they were dubious, but just rolled with it, apparently, maybe out of desperation and wishful thinking. I have a bit of face blindness myself, but I would like to think I would remember my own kid if I had one. Even the real mother of the kid made some kind of show of not being sure from the way it reads. That is what made me think all these people were loonies. Both mothers stripped down the kid and looked for scars and moles like they couldn’t tell by looking at him.

The cops just found a guy who was on a trip repairing pianos with a kid that slightly looked like the one they were looking for. They arrested him and took the kid. Even when the mother came to town to attest that it was her kid, they gave her the run around and, since she was too poor to fight it in court, stole her kid. Those kids didn’t even look anything alike… People nowadays don’t seem too bright on average, but I think maybe people back then were extra stupid.

But how are we here?

Klingon. A stumpy DeVito Klingon would be pretty epic.

Last time I played KOPNP2, I saw that you could pay for some stuff, but I never paid for anything. There was a lot of grinding, so maybe they purposefully slowed progress to make paying more tempting. I guess I didn’t finish the game, but I did get pretty far. That is very disappointing of them, though. (UPDATE: I just tried to play the game, and it put a big banner saying I have to upgrade and stops me from continuing my game, I went to the play store to upgrade, and the game is no longer “compatible” with my phone despite me playing for months before… So it is an even bigger problem than in game transactions)

Yeah, that’s the scam… If they were really looking to fix housing, they would give everyone 50 year loans at 0 interest on one primary residence or just enough interest to cover the paperwork.

Well, nothing is stopping the super soldiers, with or without open DNA. Most of those are not all that worrisome in any practical way, except employment and insurance. The only real answer for Insurance is single payer insurance at one price for everyone. The way we let insurance companies hold the noose around our necks in the US is flabbergasting. I don’t know for sure that the rest of the world is quite as good as all that, since I’ve talked to people of many countries and never heard one that didn’t have major complaints when they weren’t just trying to dump on the US. I do feel like the US is the worst of the wealthy countries anyway. If we could stop the insurance companies from having the leverage to hold us to the fire, open DNA could facilitate research on lots of medical treatments. So I guess, first put the insurance companies out of business permanently, then open source the DNA. Which I suppose means never at this rate…

I think everybody’s DNA should be open source…

Okay, do a 50-year mortgage with 0 interest.

Haven’t played Unciv, but the other two are ones I went long runs of addiction to. I would add Slay the Spire, Knights of Pen and Paper and Merge Maestro to that list.

I think that hose on the outside left is for filling the barrel… and/or making a siphon that empties the barrel.

Thank you. We need to be aware of climate change, but crying wolf and false interpretation of the science isn’t the way to get people on board.

Even so, if you commission a picture of Iron Man or if you generate a picture of Iron Man… both are going to be covered under trademark without any need to differentiate the two.
