Awesome

Pretty sure those are yellow jackets and I have seen a colony eat a dead bird. So maybe cover the children with rotting carcass?
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
And all of those people who had family die from covid and still thought masks were a form of thought control
- Comment on Sony, which is making a Helldivers 2 movie, is also making a new Starship Troopers movie, but it's not based on the Starship Troopers movie we already have 1 week ago:
I did not know that, thanks

Having read some other Heinlein, I don’t think the man was capable of being pro-fascism (see The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land). The book, in only my personal opinion, seemed more like a thought experiment, like most science fiction

- Comment on Anon reads a depressing book 2 weeks ago:
I had that experience with David Foster Wallace and his commencement address. The first half was exciting intellectually and by the last half I realized it was a cry for help

Baron underbite knocking on the monarch’s door for a place to crash because he “just got divorced”
- Comment on Equations can't hurt your feelings 2 weeks ago:
I remember taking the upper level thermo courses for my undergraduate. Through the semester, they introduced a handful of equations for specific scenarios. Then the final was like 4 questions in 3 hours and with the equation for Gibbs Free Energy.
Needless to say, not my best grade

But he wants to do Star Wars for Disney.

Thanks for the reminder. Just did it
- Comment on The Electric State (2025, dir Joe Russo and Anthony Russo) 3 weeks ago:
So they bought the rights to the film IP so they could use the pretty pictures and slap a successful name on it, then completely butchered and marvelized the story. Why do they keep doing this to great sci fi?
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 month ago:
I knew a guy who did this with Comcast for every minute his Internet was out. He’d call them every day for weeks until they cut him an account credit
- Comment on The welcome mat is still out, don't like the visitors then take down the open sign 1 month ago:
That’s very ozymandias of the US
- Comment on TIL it's impossible to delete a free trial account for AppleTv+ or Apple Music without an Apple Device 1 month ago:
I did this a couple years ago so I could binge the dino doc. I think I needed to go to the Apple TV site on a desktop to get the subscription settings. It might have changed since then

These words are not accepted
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 months ago:
I’m on the job hunt right now and I cannot stress enough how much I do not care what company leadership needs to tell themselves so they can sleep at night. All I need to know are the pay, the benefits, and if the job aligns with my interest

- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 4 months ago:
I’ve been saying this exact same thing. Trump is a raging moron and I fear the intelligent demagogue that follows him more than I fear a second trump presidency (although a second trump term might guarantee the former)

I’ve never actually seen, just the references. Guess it’s worth a go
