It’s just typical of the rise of fascism in the US. “Capitalism has failed, the corporations are getting away with crimes, all the cis het white men in charge are grifters and frauds, so what do we do? Blame The Jews, The Gays, The Blacks, Women, and Socialists!” The rational response is of course to not blame any of…

Just wanna point out that WOTC has better security than the Pentagon. Tracking on the foil and cardboard, men at your door within a day, very impressive, especially as it’s for CCG not national secrets.

Typical US car company: Invest @$5 billion and 4 years to develop a new car, release it, turns out it’s great, gains rave reviews, people buy it, it shatters the market-share of its main competitor, so what does upper management do? Cancel it after a 6-year run... so they can spend another @$5 billion on a newer car…

I’m still not clear on how the Pinkertons gained access to the inside of his house. I get that they’re probably large, intimidating, armed men, shouting about jail time and gigantic fines, holding some kind of piece of paper they claim gives them access, but could he not just slam the door, call the cops, and tell…

And she’ll still be in office at least until January 5, 2025. Maybe the DNC shouldn’t be giving their money to DINOs like Sin Enema and Man Chin and dinosaurs like Biden, Feinstein, and Pelosi.

They are not satisfied with just killing us; they demand we die quietly.

airlines in the news for being terrible at the basic operation of a company, so hot right now

Someone explain to me, your children, and yourself how the US is not a military junta. Clearly the civilian government does literally anything the military wants, even if it means not taking the most lukewarm of steps to address global warming because of the most trivial of military concerns. Reminder the #1 oil…

You’re not the minority! It looks fun. No more utopian Mars stories! I want to see 200 year old cyborg Elom Nusk and X-Coil Corp create a corporate nightmare on Mars, Pinkertons and all. Just have him do the stuff he actually did on Earth but with the terrible consequences of a survival situation.

Yes the maximum distance is 22 light-minutes away, when the two planets are on the exact opposite sides of the sun.

You’re right, it’s not light-years away. It’s 3 light-minutes away at opposition, and 22 minutes at conjunction. The Alpha Centauri system on the other hand is in fact over 4 light-years away.

It does not matter what is going on in the brain, mental illness or otherwise, when the problem is what is going on in the lungs because of a cop’s knee, while a half-dozen other cops look on and do nothing. If they can’t arrest people without killing them then what exactly is their job?

There’s always money to be made being the token minority.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The easiest and most straightforward and fairest way to nerf the MkII is just make it handle like a mini helicopter, which is what it is. I still have no idea why R* decided to make it a super special vehicle that handles in a completely unrealistic and unique way. It should…

Depends how faithfully it’s executed; if faithful, it’s a wonderful idea I’m excited to watch, and as a rule I never watch television. I assume the contestants will be in some kind of space suit-analogue when doing chores “outside” their simulated spacecraft. Showing the actual complexity of living in space, and how…

Hard no. Andor was great. ROP was terrible. Ask me about my lifelong obsession with both fandoms.

“sidestep privacy safeguards” is a really gross way to say “violate Constitutional rights”

Except his voice is annoying. I don’t understand what compels people with annoying voices and/or speech impediments to decide to start a Tube career, but they do.

7000 times the size of our galaxy’s SMBH. Not seven times, 7000 times. Our galaxy isn’t unique but it is rare in the diminutive size of our SMBH.

YouTube is inherently narcissistic, not only in that you, the creator, can be the star of your own reality show, but that you, the consumer, are fed a stream of content chosen specifically for your taste. For some reason you and the algorithm have mutually decided that the dirtbag teen boy section of YouTube is not…
