- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 day ago:
No, I don’t think so. Large portions of government like the CDC, USAID, FEMA and the IRS will take 20 years to rebuild, but the dialed in states like the West Coast will probably be largely fine. It’s just such an unnecessary waste of time, resources, and human lives.
Apparently some of us don’t remember our values unless they get their mouth curbstomped every 70 years and remember some serious pain and suffering. Then the majority of people start voting for people that weren’t dropped as babies and we will go back to a democracy again. Fuckin idiots.
In the meantime, enjoy the unencumbered spread of diseases like measles and HIV, preventable economic meltdowns from disassembling shit like the Fed, SEC and IRS and infrastructure stagnation due to gutting tax infrastructure and the firing of educated and experienced public workers that keep out road, bridges and internet working to say nothing of shit like sewers, water, power, rail, aviation, etc.
And just think, all of this rebuilding could have been prevented with one single vote for a normal candidate. We could have had 20 years of relative progress under our belt instead. 😊
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 2 weeks ago:
It seems foolish and young to me. Same as libertarian rules or rule by religious doctrine. None of that shit works. Just shiny little playthings to keep people distracted from real and genuine problems that cause an existential threat to all species living on earth.
- Comment on 'Zombie' spiders infected by never-before-seen fungus discovered on grounds of destroyed Irish castle 3 weeks ago:
While the relationship between the fungus and spiders is interesting, Evans noted the endpoint of this research should be the potential human medicines that could come from the antibiotics and other substances the fungus produces. “It’s a medicinal treasure chest,” he said.
Oh no, haha. What could go wrong?
On a more serious note, new antibiotics could be interesting. I hope we continue to research antifungals in an increasingly warm world.
I also hope we do more research into phages, which seems very promising for things like drug-resistant TB, drug resistant STDs, etc.

- Comment on What is something that keeps you up at night? 3 weeks ago:
If we nuke ourselves now, we’ll never figure out the mysteries surrounding black holes or the origins of the omg particle
For the Oh-My-God particle hitting a nitrogen nucleus, this gives 2900 TeV, which is roughly 200 times higher than the highest collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider, in which two high-energy particles going opposite directions collide.
The Oh-My-God particle’s energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×1020 eV, or 51±14 J. Although this amount is phenomenally large for a single elementary particle – far outstripping the highest energy that human technology can generate in a particle – it is still far below the level of the Planck scale, where exotic physics is expected. Though a subatomic particle, its energy was comparable to the gravitational potential energy of a 1 kilogram object that could fall 5 meters off a two-story building

I’m not your husband, but I’m completely satisfied with both of our bodies and would be a bit unsettled if either of us wanted surgery to enhance sex further. There are many products and things you can do to enhance time spent with your SO that don’t require surgery.
Surgery is pretty permanent, so I’d be damn sure you (in particular) and your husband both are interested.
Fwiw, I think smaller boobs are wonderful, and natural is best. A family friend had really bad complications from a boob job and ended up having to get them removed while she was very sick in the hospital.

People forget shit so fast, it doesn’t even matter. All that matters is the present + six months for most Americans.
Shit, I think many 14-16 yo Americans don’t even know who Obama’s VP was, or would have to think for a second a least, haha.

Yeah, outside of say, him radioing that there was a fire team/people trapped in a life-threatening situation in X location, I don’t think there’s almost any situation where abusing the bands is justified.

I have no problem with it, but it sounds like an exhausting way of making money.
- Comment on America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal -- [Opinion] 1 month ago:
In all seriousness though, you have to fight this the same way anti abortion lunatics spent decades fighting for their shit. Because there’s a loooooong way to fall before we even start getting close to a “failed state” classification. And your quality of life will plummet profoundly if we don’t fight back against the idiocy seeking to defile our country and destroy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- Comment on Is Half-Life Opposing Force still known to current gamers, or is this a side game that's fallen through the cracks. 1 month ago:
A second vote for Black Mesa. I played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back, and BM was way more enjoyable!

A lot of stuff would stop working, including stuff like microwaves, satellites, all cell towers, and anything not wired. If it was not magic, it would probably kill everyone as everything is just a spectrum of energy.

One blowfly, too.

This will put some hair on your chest. You should have seen what the Internet was like in the early 00s, even into the 10s a bit. :)

I doubt it’s poop, but you can always wash your clothes again (remove any foreign material if there is any in your washer). Most likely, your black socks were cheaply dyed and the dye washed out. Same thing happened with my mountain biking gloves, which lost a lot of their yellow dye after I bled into them and washed them.

I’d love to play Elite II, though I’m glad that the contemporary franchise is so flipping good. It’s up there in my top games of all time.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 months ago:
Not even just ignorable. I literally don’t even hear about them until they release on steam and people talk smack in steam reviews. It might as well not exist unless it’s on Steam or GOG.
Apparently Alan Wake 2 came out on PC awhile ago, and I literally had no idea until someone bitched about it on Lemmy, lol.

His gross VP and like, half the GOP would have to go with him. All the monsters like Miller are already burrowing in like a parasitic worm.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 2 months ago:
Elite Dangerous. Well over 1,000 hours, especially with friends to explore the black with. Hard to get into, but it has so much stuff to do. It made me passionate about space! (And it’s always fun reading articles about a far-flung star and thinking “hey! I’ve been there!”)

- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 3 months ago:
Catheter, adult diapers, or dehydrate yourself, haha. I hate places where there two urinals and one stall per 500 people during a 15 minute intermission.
I usually just dehydrate myself a bit if I know the restrooms are essentially out of service.

I don’t think people really care, lol. Unless they like to learn their friends peeing preferences, they probably have an ulterior motive if they are that interested.

Undead nightmarrrrre, fuck yes. I generally don’t like rockstar games these days, but undead nightmare was so fucking good. I might actually have to buy it
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 4 months ago:
Single player games with a good story and fun replayability are what I’m after. Or co-op. Occasionally, a fun multiplayer with a risky, innovative design like Lethal Company.
If a game requires me to collect 100 goddamn feathers, or press X 20 times to “survive” a heavily scripted encounter, you are doing your game wrong. Look at Black Mesa, look at Subnatica. Look at the games that took risks like Lethal Company or Elite Dangerous. You don’t have to appeal to everyone. You have to tell a story well, and the gameplay should be unique and interesting. Larian understood that with Divinity 2, and made improvements to both story and gameplay in BG3.
- Comment on Assetto Corsa EVO Announcement Trailer 4 months ago:
Looks pretty good, though the lack of particle effects is a bit odd. There are no decals from skidding tires either. Perhaps just alpha footage.
