oh yeah. i should brush up on ~~the holy book~~ The Four Horsemen lyrics.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⚫️ 😭 ⚫️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
yeah, i think for people who even have a passing interest in science this was a pretty popular topic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE cut 20% of APHIS the agency that protects U.S. agriculture and now the screwworm parasite that wipes out livestock has returned to the U.S⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
that is so good
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE cut 20% of APHIS the agency that protects U.S. agriculture and now the screwworm parasite that wipes out livestock has returned to the U.S⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
awesome! for a moment i was worried famine wouldn’t be one of the things this administration would bring about.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guerrilla plantfare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
even if that would be an obstacle, it would take mere hours for them to change the law and remove the protection.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservative values⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
yeah they couldn’t even come up with anything how lazy is that
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mr Fraser, if you're nasty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
that’s a big-ass stamp
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
because expensiveness is a scale that starts from 0 so you always know how expensive everything is. cheapness works the other way, so there’s no starting point. that means there’s no way to quantify how cheap the first thing is, in order to double that. in your example gasoline would have to be the least cheap thing possible, which means nothing can be more expensive.

it’s like saying someone’s twice as short as someone else. half as tall makes sense, twice as short is a weird way to say it because how short is the first person?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This place is a prison⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
this seems more about protecting the books from the way people crack their drinks open.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
i mean they do have less plastic than before.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
2x cheaper is a crazy way of saying half as expensive.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
PlayStation at this point is like those soldiers you find deep in the woods, trying to fight the war on their own, ignorant to the news that the war ended years ago. still trying to fight the console wars in 2026.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which way?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
why is it standing like a US president
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is the face of a cat in this picture. Can you find it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
that’s what it is, I’ve made over before. basically grayscale image faintly on a black and white pattern, doesn’t need to be checkerboard.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unappreciated in my own lifetime⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
what a bunch of drooling morons
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
because there are roads and usually cars stick to those. grip is an important aspect of safety. there’s no grip in the air.

small planes aren’tn hard to come by? compared to cars? also do you think flying cars are going to use the same routes as planes? what about air traffic control?

you’re still thinking about my point as deliberate attacks when I’m talking about accidents having much bigger consequences. contrary to your belief there are tons of guardrails, literally or conceptually, around roads. there are no such things in air. if your car goes haywire in the air, it can end up anywhere.

I’ll concede higher threshold for drunk driving even though I don’t believe it can be enforced reliably. let’s say you can. people still make mistakes while sober. even more when tired. or preoccupied.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
1. who says you need the same impact? a car can still fly through your window.
2. I’m not talking about literally recreating 9/11 itself, especially since the twin towers are not as tall as they were. shame. anyway, my point is flying cars make any kind of accident a potential mini-9/11. you can put guardrails on roads, what the hell are you going to have for flying cars?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weeeeazels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
yeah wtf is that sentence. I think they meant “stoats hunt animals twice their size” and royally fucked it
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Bethesda’s never had a good writer since Morrowind. the best story tellers in Bethesda were the people who designed the obscure side locations with environmental storytelling, and I guess Bethesda took that as a slight against its reputation and replaced handmade locations with reusable slop in starfield. it’s like they are trying to get worse with every game.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
the engineering was Bethesda’s, though
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
say what you will about al-qaeda but at least they made a solid demonstration as you why flying cars have always been a stupid fucking idea.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
why isn’t there a rating that says

#E

EVERYONE

^(above 18, there’s some fucked up shit in this)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
what else was it going to be, only people with blue eyes who are 10 or more? yeah duh, whatever qualifier you put after “everyone” just limits the population to that qualifier, so why say “everyone” at all? having a giant E for everyone with a tiny 10+ is misleading, but also stupid and pointless. just put a 10+ sign.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
what kind of rating is “everyone 10+”? if it’s 10+ it ain’t everyone.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not a China friendly person but holy false equivalence. if you compare the damage done to the world, the US is immeasurably worse than china. I’d rather have 400 china’s in the world than the one US that we have.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
dead domain is awesome. thankfully we can have multiple commentators.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
i challenge you to suffer his stupid fucking chat for a day… a lot of people would prefer back breaking labor.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's in a name?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
pretty sure that’s the reason for the naming
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
i wouldn’t find anything common with a 25 year old myself. i think it would be less of an issue if the younger was 30+. obviously the older you are the wider the acceptable gap. once both parties are 35+ i think the gap doesn’t matter at all.
