Astrologically, Gemini is associated with Communication. Specifically social, superficial, quick, back and forth communication. The sign is ruled by Mercury which is associated with Intelligence and being the messenger of the Gods. Mercury is often depicted with winged shoes as the planet itself is the fastest moving planet, orbiting the sun every 88 days. Mercury is considered to be dualistic (The Twins) and also rules the sign of Virgo, an earth sign that is associated with more deep cold analytical categorization.
I paid off my entire college debt with my first paycheck. I lived at home and got my associates from a community college in Appalachia. I did well enough to get a small transfer scholarship at a state college to finish up my BS.
You get what you put into it no matter where you go.

How does xbox-exclusive releases fit in with this goal? Are are just playing word games where you mean you'll release a bunch of indie and old games to more platforms while restricting new games?
I am not making a judgement whether or not the merger should go through, but I would love that the result to be the end of deliberate platform exclusive titles
Nah. Reason is just the best model we have at the time, given the evidence that we have.
For example, Newtonian physics is a pretty darn good way of looking at the universe and it works well. It was thought of as "known". But of course, I'm sure everyone here knows that Einsteinian physics replaced Newtonian physics with a more accurate model of the universe.
Faith is different in that it is based on no evidence. For example, in christendom, they say there's a heaven, with no testable evidence, or that there's a god, let alone the one that they think exists as opposed to Kali or Uhuru-Mazda, or the other hundredss of thousands of gods that have been professed to be real.
>Belief is Necessary to fill in the gaps between creation cycles (Or its rejection entirely).
eh....despite what the author says, it is conceivable that a scientific solution could be found for the creation. But with faith, just saying "God done it" is something that requires no work, no new knowledge, and not even an attempt at new knowledge. Belief is something necessary when one is just too lazy to try to figure out the actual solution, or to disprove one's belief and accept that it is wrong.
A beautiful way of signing off reminds me of Bowie's Blackstar album.
"Something happened on the day he died.
Spirit rose a metre, then stepped aside.
Somebody else took his place and bravely cried,
"I'm a black star, I’m a star’s star, I’m a blackstar"
I find myself uncomfortably on your side of the argument, against the popular sentiment here.
Russia is bombing Ukrainian communication towers, spreading malware, coordinating attacks, in an active unprovoked invasion.
From my perspective, I see one country invading another country saying "If you try and stop us then we'll nuke the world."
That is not how nuclear deterrence has worked in the past and if it not challenged then it will become the norm. Call their bluff. Hope that it is a bluff, because if it isn't, then it only will delay the inevitable until we are all in a worse bargaining place.
To let evil flourish while you sit and do nothing is the same as doing evil. If we all die, then let us die doing what is right, in good conscience, protecting the vulnerable, upholding civilized order.
Exactly. The current posture seems to be eroding the world order by simply reminding people they have nukes. That’s not a change. They’ve always had them. They’re trying to use them in a new way. This new way would have probably been dealt with much more severely in the 70s/80s/90s.
