Those dastardly material conditions and their informing people’s worldview

Sending you my strength, comrade!

I thought Snoke getting smoked was one of the coolest uses of a standard “evil chair alien” that I’ve ever seen. Just a cool twist that set up a power vacuum intrigue with Kylo Ren. Que my immediate bafflement when I went online and saw legions of nerds malding that Supreme Lord Snoke didn’t get hours of backstory and lore explanation.

At the risk of combining pedantry with Star Wars nerd crap, I believe (this is just what I remember) that there’s a line or two in the movie that states that the ship’s shields were fully down, and it’s implied that this is the only reason why the suicide attack worked. In lore, shields on ships are primarily for physical objects (like asteroids and crap), so it makes sense to me that they can, I guess, magically repel even other ships in hyperdrive unless the shields are down.

Counterpoint: Everyone should just share Gavin Newsom’s house. When he wakes up and sees the length of the toothbrush line, hopefully he’ll reconsider ever showing his face in public some policies

I am not much of a fan of the Roguelike genre. FTL is such a banger that I easily consider it to be one of the greatest games ever made.

I’m with you there. Obviously we shouldn’t, like, beat children for not writing perfect cursive in third grade, but kids should be playing outside and engaging in more active learning anyway. There’s no harm in making one of the actual classtime activities be cursive rather than extra math class.

I’m the opposite of an expert, but I believe from what I’ve read is that a lot of mass shooters tend to have more concrete “plans” about specific attacks, but something (panic, timing, etc.) has a way of convincing them to go with the simple plan of “pick crowded area and shoot people” instead of targeted attacks.

Just found out about liberalism. Very upset rn

So far in September, I think we’re up to something like one every 14 hours.

Soon enough, it’ll be like Pacific Rim and we’ll have a double event at the same location

Stop being me. It’s like, copyright or something.

(But it’s straight-up tough all the time. I wish you the best of luck, comrade)

Make sure to express your deeply-rooted mommy issues while doing so. Very important step.

Haha my dusty MG ZZ Gundam ver Ka joins you

He looks like he leads the task force hunting down the Batman

Not a bad list. I have a couple alternate suggestions, though, that I think are easier to switch to in a lot of cases.

Google Search - “1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.”

Google Drive - “2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.”

Google Chrome - "3. If the system-

How else do you test this claim (that you didn’t know how to use it) otherwise though?

Perhaps in a perfect world, all organizations intending to have a risk clause (for safety, not profit of course) would need to provide licensing and testing first?

Like say there’s the Hexbear Skydivers Club. The HSC would have to have standards for certification under the Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism safety guidelines, and hand these certs out to people who have done enough practice.

If someone without these certs goes splat on their own, it would likely be investigated as a tragic accident. But if someone with those certs goes splat, then there’s a full investigation, and worlds_okayest_mech_pilot, the dunce that approved the comrade to skydive, is liable for punishment.

Just my random sleepy input lol

Homework is why I gave up on the MCU. Even when the movies were shit, if I felt like it, I could still put them on and understand them. They were shit on their own terms.

Now even Deadpool 3 has a joke like: “See this cloud monster that’s the least interesting part of this movie? It’s actually from the show Loki, available now on Disney Plus!”

And here I was apparently reading it as YouTube without bothering to think about how that makes no sense whatsoever lol

Sometimes, the only thing that keeps me going is my stubborn refusal to accept that these stories are real. Even if they are, sometimes I really just need to think otherwise.

Edit: After about 2 seconds of investigation, this appears to be a bit. Pour one out for stubbornness, my real homie.
