  It’s not mentioned in the movie if that’s what you mean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens in Jumanji (the original) if a player gets killed cause the board game? Does it just stay locked? The Robin Williams version of Jumangi.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. First thing to remember here is that it’s a board game. For children.

  Second thing to keep in mind is Robin Williams survives alone in the jungle for decades with absolutely no survival skills whatsoever.

  Jumanji is a game about thrills. It will scare you, bring you as close to annihilation as possible, but in the end, it will not kill you.

  Jumanji will not let you die when trapped inside it.

  This is pretty much my only consistent problem with Windows. It refuses to let me choose when to update. Though I generally only notice that it’s happened when I try to get to my jellyfin server. Other than that, it’s been pretty much issue free. Lemmy leans pretty hard towards the tech sector and there’s a hate boner for Windows that is at least somewhat justified but for most users it’s not really an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows views that as a suggestion, and frequently ignores it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Anonborn gets recruited⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The main story of that game is fucking awful. I get they wanted to introduce some choice, and wanted that choice to somewhat kinda feel justified but JESUS did they do a shitty job.

  Instead of giving us a messy political situation, where either party may have some legitimate claim to the land, they gave us Southern nationalists versus Northern racists who were here first and you’re meant to pick which one you like more.

  Gee would I rather kill for the guys that literally don’t want me here, or kill for the guys that literally tried to kill me for being here? HARD FUCKING QUESTION.

  I think I played through the main storyline once to completion, and every time before and after that I just skipped it once I got the rewards I wanted.

  It took you all day to build a strawman and THAT is what you came up with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surpreisenheimer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hiroshima was not a military target, that was a lie Truman told to try to smooth over the fact that he’d just committed a horrific war crime.

  Two committees—the Target Committee and the Interim Committee—were convened to advise U.S. leaders on the atomic bomb. The prioritization of maximizing the bomb’s psychological impact on the Japanese population and leadership is the common thread that binds the recommendations of the two committees.

  But the identification of military objectives by the Interim Committee was a rationalization meant to obscure the true aims of the Hiroshima bombing. **The Interim Committee’s recommendation was an endorsement of terror bombing with a legal veneer. **

  At bottom, Stimson **wanted to kill as many workers and their families possible. **

  We’ll make do. We’re very good at making do. Might even say the best at making do.

  If our civilization is propped up on the next generation supplying us with an ever increasing population for the meat grinder, what we have is actually a planet wide ponzi scheme. We would do well to make do with less.

  They’re not good. But they’re supposed to be that way. I’ve never had anything quite like them outside of the US so it’s hard to think of something to compare them to that a European might be familiar with. They’re brownies in the same way that French fries are vegetables. Technically… Yeah… But no. They’re extremely sweet, taste quite strongly of artificial chocolate which may be a flavor unique to American paletes, and technically resemble a fudgey brownie.

  All that to say, this shake did not contain this particular garbage snack.

  I suspect what he made was a protein shake with added fiber and artificial sweetener. You can get cosmic brownie flavored protein powder. Protein shakes certainly can have an effect on the gut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays DnD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy fucking shit. I need to have read this comment 20 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays DnD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s playing DnD that’s positively pedestrian compared to things he’s about to say

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays DnD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not anymore dude. Not anymore.

  Why do you need to build new real estate when there are fewer people to occupy it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field during geomagnetic storms actually enough to cause stress on our cells and bodies, or am I encountering junk science?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like woo. People believe the phase of the moon has an effect too.

  Humans are really good at finding correlating events and linking them together, even when they’re completely unrelated. Often, the assumptions that lead to the conclusion don’t get in the way of being correct.

  However when a link is completely unfalsifiable, unprovable, and unlikely, we’re also really good at making up bullshit and convincing ourselves it’s true.

  You’ve kinda already made up your mind what category you want to fall in to, seems like you came here looking for justification, not falsification. So, I won’t waste any more energy on this.

  The short answer is no.

  The long answer is there is absolutely no scientific data to support this claim, and anyone that tells you otherwise is sniffing the same bullshit they’re selling.

  You be surprised at how many teachers are just a few years older than their own students in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s designed to be uncomfortable until the lowest earners in the country are able to approach comfortability themselves. The whole point is to tie people who make decisions for the rest of us to the consequences of them. It’s not about inflicting harm, it’s about inflicting consequences, which may be good or bad.

  We want a rising tide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn’t really offset the harm. CEOs are often hired to perform layoffs, and will be compensated on a number of ways other than severance.

  If a company wants to lay off any percentage of its workforce, it must guarantee their income, insurance, and contributions for 12 months. The CEO must be prohibited from serving on any board for 5 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not allow them to take a position with any company that may have been affected by a vote they cast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make Congress Earn Average American Wage.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that you’re trying to be accurate, and I respect that.

  Let’s use the mean, and eliminate the top and bottom 1% of earners. Which would put Congress’ salary between 57,000 and 61,000

  Using the median gives them a salary of 87,500 dollars.

  That top 1% is a real motherfucker.

  It’s certainly a crime, they’d probably call it terroristic threats or some such. It’s on the level of shouting “fire!” In a crowded theater

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone freaked out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know a few guys that hunt with ARs. Most of the guys I work with have at least one for target shooting. The small handful of guys who feel like they need a weapon for “protection” have a pistol set aside for that purpose.

  Checkmate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Rogan thinks AI running the government would ‘stop all wars on the planet’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So he’s right. AI would end human civilization and stop all wars. Easy.

  This is a great example of a broken clock. Arriving at the correct conclusion simply by random chance.
