“I just took pictures of random people doing normal life stuff so I can judge them based on appearance and mock them for things I just made up”

Weird flex by whoever made this meme many years ago

In theory, I agree. Nuclear weaponry should never exist. The power to erase millions of people with a single push of a button is absolute insanity.

In practice, the world isn’t going to suddenly decide to de-arm itself and dismantle every nuke. So if they aren’t giving up theirs, refusing to make my own over that just leaves me another corpse on the moral high road.

Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a better place had the Manhattan project been sabotaged by the scientists and nuclear weapons were deemed unfeasible. I’d like to think so.

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

I think if enough executive orders were signed, Project Sundial could be finished in two months.

Anybody have JBs number? I have a proposal.

I haven’t watched fallout yet, just because I haven’t been in a “fallout” mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.

And I literally couldn’t finish a single episode.

So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It’s as low as can be.

Hi, I’m someone who loves to play video games, absolutely cannot stand to watch other people play games, and for a thankfully brief period, was completely unable to play certain games due to insufficient reflexes.

This would have allowed me to play a wider range of games. I probably wouldn’t have been able to beat dark souls, but plenty of other games would be on the table.

Heres the best part about features like this, and I hope you’re sitting because this might blow your mind: if you don’t want it, and don’t like it… don’t use it.

Hope that helps clear a few things up.

I more meant it as “a general strike wouldn’t work”

It’s just a joke about how people “don’t have any guns” because they lost them. Not stolen because they would have to report that. They’re somewhere unreachable that you technically COULD verify, but likely wouldn’t unless there’s a very specific (usually requiring a warrant to get people to move) reason.

So “boating accident” is to goto joke accident. Nobody would actually believe you if you said that to a cop, judge, or courtroom.

general strike.

Oh you sweet, summer child…

They used to own tons, but sadly since the boating mishap, they’re all at scattered at the bottom of a really deep lake.

Who would have thought that bringing every single one of your legally purchased firearms onto a small boat to show them the world would be a bad idea?

Oh well, no need to look for them.

You can get the same ksp2 experience with ksp1 and the seemingly infinite amount of mods available.

Want more realistic everything? Mods for that.

Want to make a jumbo jet that can also travel to Ike?there’s Mods for that.

Want everything to be reskinned to look different? You better BELIEVE there’s mods for that.

And the best part is if you own ksp1 (or at least if you have it on your computer to play, wink wink) it’s free! No need to pay for a full game that’s just been modified slightly, now you just slightly modify it yourself. (or mod it so heavily that startup takes 20 minutes and if you don’t use the part search function you’ll be scrolling for hours)

The moral high road is littered with corpses, and it looks like we’re bound and determined to add more to the pile.

The Maquis have a lot of good points.

As usual, the mere threat of potential domestic terrorism wins.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists, we hand them the country. And sit quietly when they start destroying things. Like good sheep.

I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they’ve lost, “tough shit, you specifically voted for this”

Yep! Sure is!

Thanksgiving with the religious family is gonna be great.

US can’t be relied on for the next four years, at minimum.

Probably Optimistic :(

I don’t think the US has been reliable since 2016 at the latest. And honestly after this… I don’t think it ever will be again.

When I get home from work, I plan on smoking every last plant in my house.

If I don’t die from smoke inhalation, at least I won’t care about anything for the rest of the week except snacks.

Historically, it works.

If every country on earth had nukes and delivery methods on par with each other, we would never have to worry about nations being at war again.

Nothing would be left alive on the planet, but we would be at peace.
