You mean the people who are making a sequel?

Why are there so many pedos among the rich

That’s idiotic. The alternative is to bomb them.

You aren’t going to stop strong countries from exerting their will on weaker countries; that’s the entire reason to be a stronger country in the first place.

Having economic sanctions as a blow-off-valve against war is a good thing, pragmatically.

Another house

Gotta build passive income for retirement

It would be fantastic if the Ukrainians could defend their country by themselves using weapons we gave them.

It would be terrible if other countries had to send manpower to Ukraine.

Giving them arms is a great way to prevent future entanglement

I thought I was introverted.

Then I spent 4 months in Antarctica for work, and holy shit. No. I’m not introverted. I need my friends and family around me at all times.

No idea where you live, but the tap water is amazing where I live (somewhere in the western United States). And it comes from a set of glaciers that’s basically behind my house.

If my tap water tasted bad I’d probably set up a solar still to purify it.

water

• makes my headaches go away
• makes it easier to poop
• tastes good
• cools me down on a hot day
• super inexpensive, so cheap you can bathe in it
• only bad part is that it makes you need to pee

Senior software engineer for one of the big terrible companies

I’m a senior software engineer, I work about 2 hours a day for 3 days a week. I’m very privileged, but I went to school until I was 30 and have 2 advanced degrees so there’s that. Also I’m pretty sure I’m going to be laid off in Q1 2024 so I’ll probably retire.

I worked really hard long hours in grad school and in my first post doc, and I don’t ever want to be stressed like that again in my life.

Probably food service or retail. Just about anything customer facing, really. I’ve never done those kind of jobs but it looks really stressful, like the people doing them are always doing something. There’s no sitting around and watching movies in that kind of job.

Buy a cheap one every few years, treat it like shit, recycle it when it’s dead.

It’s sad that it’s less work and less expense to re-buy an inferior product in many cases. Especially kitchen knives. Razor sharp $1 knives at the dollar store are much less expensive over a lifetime than one nice $100 knife (that can’t go in the dishwasher). Same goes for socket wrenches.

Going skiing and visiting hot springs in Japan

I think you can patent a seed as much as you want, but if it cross pollinates my crop and now I’m growing your patented stuff, sucks to be you, I’m not liable. If you want to patent a seed and grow it in an enclosed thing, go for it I guess.

A remake of murder on the orient express, except it’s in space and it’s the future.

Dude you suck at reading comprehension because that’s exactly what I addressed in my comment. If one’s belief system is actually based in or otherwise aligned with the Old Testament, their opinion is invalid and they are morally bankrupt.

The Old Testament is so fucking brutal and devoid of morality, that 2000 years ago people started Christianity just to get away from its brutality; that was literally the appeal of jesus. To say “god did a take back and the world doesn’t have to be so brutal”.

You know you’re on the moral high ground of relatability when your evidence comes from the fucking Old Testament. Like when your morality comes from 4000+ years ago, wow, that’s some good shit right there. Hold my beer, I’m about to say that I read slavery is ok in the Old Testament. Watch as I drive down to Whole Foods with a net gun and get myself some laborers from the produce isles. It’s ok because they wear multiple kinds of cloth at the same time, and I saw one pick up a lobster so he can definitely be my chattel. There goes one holding hands with his partner, give me a minute while I righteously smite them in the name of my lord; pour out some salt for them!

Isn’t that a lower rate than cis people?

Like worldwide, even if only 0.1% of people are trans (an intentional underestimate for conservative numbers) that’s a murder rate of 4.3 per 100k people. The worldwide average is 7.5.

The point is to mock those that post this kind of thing seriously. It’s to make you realize there is sometimes merit in the “stop having fun” side of things.

I can’t have caffeine and I use ubuntu
