California gave me a machine to do that when I reach for non-vegetarian products.

It’s sooooo dry, CO kinda sucks even though I really want to like it 😓
- Comment on Made by the "we read your smartphone screen from 3miles out" gang 1 week ago:
Oddly specific…
- Comment on What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting? 1 week ago:
Anyone in my circles who’s had to fully interact with our US healthcare has, at minimum, said they understand the motive.

Incoming shitrags are already working on that…
- Comment on Making peace with liking very few games? 2 weeks ago:
Never played actually. I’ll check it out. I don’t have much free time generally as I work on a lot of projects, so I usually look for really good stories if I’m going to invest my time.
I’ll take a look though, thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on Making peace with liking very few games? 2 weeks ago:
It’s ok dude. What do you look for in games, is there a common theme?
I’m the same, I actually look for cinematic games with clever, interesting stories. Idgaf about multiplayer or any of that shit, I want to be a director in my own movie.
Bioshock, half life 2, LA Noire, and so on.
- Comment on There's a storm hitting us in about 6 hours. We're going to find out who's who. 3 weeks ago:
Carefully and with lots of redundancy.
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 weeks ago:
Bioshock.

I as well. Seattle transit, NEC Amtrak and NJ transit live off of these. If these systems work for them, they’ll work for us all

Very cool, no pun intended due to freezing of genetic material.
I like that the last lines are key: “we can’t lose the creatures in the wild, but if we do, now we have an insurance policy”.

Oh, these are the new billionaire inbreds?
Just kidding, fuck yeah, I’ll always upvote “the thing”.

For what it’s worth, it’s a bit nostalgic seeing that “look” of 90s film making and I grew up sorta near that diner.
It was a student film as well, and I appreciate how both good and bad the acting is. Why would the one with authority be in a band-leader getup, if not because in their fractured understanding of us it would make sense?
Dunno, lots of small interesting touches to it.

Nah.

Fitting, really, to be a dream to meat.

They’re made out of meat.
- Comment on flouride 4 weeks ago:
Having worked for a municipal water system, no, they are not incompetent when engineers are at the helm. Corruption I saw was related to giving small incidental work to friends, some weird politics sometimes, but that was about it.
More importantly: everyone understood our job wasn’t to make money, we were foundational to our city’s livelihood & health, that of our neighbors, our mother’s and brothers. Quality was job 1, and I really do mean that. Could we have moved faster and for less money? Maybe. But I’m glad we picked doing the job right over doing it fast.

There are some fusion designs that use direct energy conversion.

Oh, same. Absolute favorite.

I admittedly can’t imagine people wanting such a thing. They really are of a different fabric it seems, hurt people hurting people. I guess all the rest of us can do is support letting people know there’s another option and helping them escape that trap if desired.
They don’t want to live like us, fostering the mind over breaking down the body. So be it, I guess.

Missing the point, dumb.
We need food, the jobs were available and I want people doing the work to have rights too. I don’t want to pick strawberries. I will gladly pay someone to get some for me, if the price is right.
Are you a “brown person”? I guess I am as well.

I mean mush actually telegraphed that, “there will be some economic pain”…

Fuckin’ glad I’m not your son, my dad was a real man who actually put the work in to help me become a caring and effective man, not watch me founder and mentally shrivel.
I feel for you, and for this country we both call home.

Apparently I can’t curse at you & your low energy understanding of the world, last comment removed.
I stand by what I said before, I believe all workers should be paid fairly, have access to things like bathrooms & water, and be able to easily come and go as they need & desire.
Try getting better nutrition, it’ll help with your energy problem.

I hear what you’re saying. What boring people to be afraid of novel cultures.
Anyway, fine, close the border and make it so only US citizens can do all the labor nobody wants to do. Watch how much doesn’t get done; the economics behind work and such don’t change rapidly. I’ll bet most small farmers get destroyed with fields full of rotten cross because nobody can offer a citizen enough to do the work that still yields a profit. The billionaires with factory farms and prison labor will win out.

I agree that it’s low-hanging- nope. Bailing on that one.
I do think quality farm work is critical for our health as a nation, and I don’t mean economically.
Can we automate it? Maybe. Till then, someone’s gotta do it, and for those who go into it, there’s gotta be a floor on job quality, seemingly basic things like bathroom and water breaks.

Sure, the unborn work for that too.
I just wonder what is so scary about immigrants to people?

Why is there such an obsession with immigration?
Do you want to pick strawberries? It’s back-breaking and sucks.
