I have a feeling if this gets big it becomes a breeding ground for conspiracy theories…

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I hope people aren’t already spreading such tales.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Unfortunately these are being spreading increasingly more with the net to aid their expansion

[Animalia (Matti)]

See, back in the 90s. If someone had a crazy aunt, it’d only be the neighbors hearing their crap, but now thanks to the internet anyone can hear their garbage.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I’d hope one day we could leave behind our legacy of blindly following poorly rooted beliefs…

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

At the same time, being overly suspicious about everything isn’t good, either.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

A good balance needs to be struck…

Does anyone else listen to a song early in the day, get it stuck in their head, and then have it be basically the soundtrack for that day

The sad part about the information era is that not all information is true…

I suppose before the internet such stuff could spread via gossips and stuff

[Ill_try_at_least (ł'₥ ₦Ø₮ ₵Ɽ₳ⱫɎ. ł'₥ ₦Ø₮ ₵Ɽ₳ⱫɎ. ł'₥ ₦Ø₮ ₵Ɽ₳ⱫɎ.)]

Yeah but not nearly as fast.

Eh I usually recall various songs during the say but it usually has little to do with what I listened to

There was a great comment on the Thrive Podcast Video yesterday (December 6) by kelfgort^[1]:

Если так подумать, вся история проекта является абстракцией эволюционной гонки живых организмов).
В попытках достичь процветания…

И точно так же, как и жизнь на Земле боролась с массовыми вымираниями. Так и сам проект пытается пережить собственную смерть год за годом

Translation:

If you think about it, the entire history of the project is an abstraction of the evolutionary race of living organisms. In an attempt to achieve prosperity…

And just as life on Earth struggled with mass extinctions, so the project itself is trying to survive its own death year after year

Would by “death” they mean the times when Thrive was extremely inactive (so around 2013-4?)

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Enantiornithine bird fossil from the Cretaceous indicates it was sick and choked to death on rocks.

The fossil bird that choked to death on rocks, and no one knows why

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Wouldn’t the deaths of the vertebrates who drowned in amber also have been pretty horrible?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Yeah, those deaths would have been very

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Unless they died first and only then were covered in amber

Should I start a forum post about all the information about plants that might help us focus on how plants and social behavior can fit into the game? (As someone who is deep in the Master and also currently works as a teacher/teaching assistant in botany)

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

If you feel certain enough, go ahead. This could greatly aid the developers when the time comes.

What do you guys think are some underutilized concepts in science fiction?
