Person 1: We need a "Children's Video Game Network" with sesame street philosophy but for games. Not creaky educational games. In fact, I don't care if they are educational as much as I care if they are of a high artistic caliber, thoughtful, fun and both free and free of advertisements. I'm not saying such games don't exist, but there isn't really a plan to make them. Really all modern content forms are weak in this area. Ambitious to say with PBS gone? Yes. But also it can't just be TV. Person 2: what if we hired the people who used to work at PBS at video game studios creating specifically games for children

 out to be primarily computational, rather than mechanical. I want mecha suits,

 If you want to share what I say but you're afraid of linking yourself to my
 account, take a screenshot instead. That way there's less of a connection
 between us.
 
 On Windows platforms you can do :windowsxp: + shift + S if I recall correctly.
 It's been a while since I used a microsoft computer.
 
 This is also useful for archival purposes - what if your instance shuts down,
 or the link between you are your starred posts is severed?

a before and after picture of the pinpricks of light that dot the map of the USA at night. Before, is the standard night-time lights. They twinkle and glimmer and illustrate the connections we people do share. After, a vast swathe of darkness flows over the land, billowing through the mountains and the trees. There are entire cities wiped clean off the terrain, and where once there was connected constellations of man-made starlight, now only shadow remains.

the world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.
