There are many time-loop stories in speculative fiction. Hell, there's like a thousand episodes of sci fi TV with this premise.
But if you're looking for a good one, try Hyperion (and Fall of Hyperion). The first book can standalone, but the second book gives you a more satisfying answer to your question. It is told in a Canterbury Tales style, with multiple converging retrospectives. But the principle antagonist is time itself. Very fun read.
Nope. Just so that you don't starve in a crisis. Grass tastes gross. ;)
Humanitarian crisis for sure.
Tangent. If I was a mad genetic scientist with no ethics, there are a few things I'd do -- engineering a virus to deliver a few "software patches" to our DNA. One of those things would be to engineer the production of cellulase as an enzyme in our digestive system -- so we can get energy from grass and such in an emergency. Probably the Law of Unintended Consequences will make this worse for humanity somehow (Begun the Grass Wars have!). Mosquitos also get blood sucking removed, in an attempt to make them purely pollinating insects. Vote for Troy as mad scientist!
Won't help the hungry in Sudan now, though. So I'm open to better ideas. Sadly, I largely have bad ideas. If I'm on the side of full external military intervention, it would be considered "colonial". It's hard to propose any solution that isn't just "send aid" -- and you don't want to do that because it gets seized by the parties involved to support their conflict. Do we just watch it play out and accept refugees? That's lame -- how many millions will die in each of the above scenarios. Fuck.
I've heard it phrased: "once is never, twice is always"
No one commenting on your playlist? You're cathartic music experience is showing :)
A man who has big books... has a big... bookshelf.
My third year thermodynamics course opened with a similar quip by the lecturer. Entropy is actually depressing. You can't fight it. You can't not fight it. It just wins.
Early computer aided art and programs I've written, dating back decades.
In the mid 1990s I used ImpulseTracker to create music. The music sucks. But losing the original source .IT files would be heartbreaking.
Likewise, my first programs, written as a child in MS DOS batch files circa 1991 -- basic menu driven interfaces that facilitated launching my installed sharware... I don't have the games the program points to anymore, but that isn't the point ;)
All people who think porn is bad are bad. They are projecting their own unhealthy suppressed sexualities onto others because of the shame they associate with their own sexuality

Thus I am concluding you are pro Russian and taking all opportunities to block all porn starring Ukranians. Which will be basically every site on the internet. A pity, since you seem to like it a lot.
I'm kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take -- not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion -- expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
They dominated game one too. Just ran up against goalie Bob
