“death of the author” suggests some of the author’s intent is lost when a work is consumed by the audience.

What a weird thing to say.

So, teaching the horrors of slavery is woke now? They are just telling on themselves now.

Wow, imagine being so out of touch you defend a billionaire

I’m an idiot, I had the detect path pointing to the CollisionDetection instead of just to the Area2D, when I removed \CollisionDetection from the path it works like a charm and prints the group that the Area2D is a member of! thanks everyone for your help!

sorry, I tried to upload the project but it just hangs. You may be right though. how would I make it print the group that the area2d is a member of? or how can I confirm the area2d is a member of a group?

that worked. thanks so much!

I want the RB2D on layer 1 so it collides with other bodies but I want some way to detect when it has collided with a clone of the area2d so I put area2D on layer 2. is there a better way to detect cloned nodes?

Or in my app drawer

Excited. Anyone know if/when their gonna add dark mode?

I disagree with your point that private organizations dont go against the status quo in the US. I can’t turn on any news agency in the States without seeing headlines about where the US government is failing. and which political party is blamed for said failure depends on the bias of the news agency.

I 100% agree that news agencies are biased to their business elites in the US, but the foreign policy bias you mention is more related to that news agencies’ particular politcal leanings.

I find it hard to believe that the business elites that own news agencies are trying to sway the american peoples view of china because they feel they are losing some petty competition to make more money. We’ve seen the global opinion of china fall greatly since 2008, mostly due to how china is treating its people through strict surveilance, its attempt to control its neighbors, its use of wolfe warrior diplomacy, and increase aggression on the global stage.

You make fair and valid points, but the propaganda the US government creates does not stand alone in the american media sphere. We have the freedom to explore other ideas on the internet or purchase movies, tv shows, music, and articles from all around the world with little to no censorship. Thus, american propaganda influence faces more competition than its chinese counterpart.

Can it really be called propaganda if the information doesn’t come from the US government? China’s news outlets are state owned. America has NPR and PBS, which are not particularly popular compared to privately owned news outlets in the US.

Even at a global scale? How would communism produce enough resources to sustain the human race while doing so ethically when at the same time removing all incentives by providing free food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, and everything else for free?

That concerns me because that creates a conflict of interest if the only people who can invite or remove people from the council are other members of said council. We see in the real world that breeds nepotism and corruption and makes non-violent policy change nearly impossible. Wouldn’t it be better to allow the people to choose council members and remove them by vote when necessary?

Would that require unlimited resources and automation to guarantee that level of productivity ethically?

Who chooses when and why a leader will be removed?

Who distributes these vouchers, and how? If everyone gets everything for free, what use are these vouchers?
