Oh? You got a concept?

Name a single PSL or Green candidate that is running for an office besides the presidency. Oh what’s that? You can’t without looking it up? Gee, doesn’t sound like you’re at all in tune with local politics which is the only place a third party could grow from. It sounds like you just want to whine without offering any real solutions.

Meanwhile the other option is to blow up all the roads with zero plans on what or how to replace them.

I mean… I kind of get it. The personal item happened to be a fucking gun. One with moving parts that will fire bullets if the wrong part moves. Your phone will not fire bullets. Seems kind of prudent to stop the machine with spinning magnets and wildly fluctuating magnetic fields from operating near a rifle that may cause it to fire.

I guaran-fucking-tee you that if they hadn’t shut it off, and the machine caused the firing pin to trip resulting in a bullet being fired and hitting someone, people would be saying “what stupid cops let the gun just sit there when they could have hit the emergency stop switch!”

However, the main issue is the rifle never should have fucking been there in the first place!

What? We absolutely did see enthusiasm among female voters for Hillary.

Paradox of Tolerance. A truly 100% tolerant society can not exist as it will quickly fall prey to intolerant groups that they are forced to tolerate. People don’t seem to understand that concept and think if we just be nice the bad guys will go away. It doesn’t work like that. Any school kid can tell you that ignoring or trying to befriend a bully rarely works. The only thing that works is fighting back.

Of course not, that’s because babies can’t file lawsuits for having their foreskins cut off.

Then presumably because it’s a tasty treat and if you’re gonna die from poison, you might as well have a nice glass of milk before you go.

I’ve only found them in farmers markets in the Midwest. They are DELICIOUS! The article is right, they taste kind like a combination of mango and banana. They have some large seeds you have to eat around, and the skin isn’t super tasty, but the inside is great!

Pro-tip, the ones that look old and brown are the ones that are ripe and ready to eat, the ones that look yellow-green need another day or two to fully ripen.

It’s the leftist side of what usually happens when a subset of users break or are driven off of a platform and go to find a different one. Usually it’s right wingers. As one example, Voat gained a surge of users after /r/thedonald was banned. Didn’t take long for it to become a cesspool of racism and hatred, all thanks to the paradox of tolerance. What’s happening on Lemmy in places like grad and ml is just the extreme leftist version.

Political ideology is like a horseshoe, and the opposite ends are closer to each other than they realize. Same, same, but different.

Time LINE. You’re talking about going so far back that humanity wouldn’t exist. And if you go that far back and try to jumpstart evolution to have humans exist sooner; disregarding how that completely ignores how evolution works, any society that would arise would be indecipherable compared to our own. The resulting “humans” could be hairless and have purple skin. Think of the hot-dog fingers timeline from 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" except the world they live in wouldn’t look anything close to ours. They would instead communicate entirely by slapping and live in long tunnels made of beeswax or some shit like that. There are too many branching paths and variables to get anything even close to recognizable.

For the purposes of the main question OP asked, it’s pointless to go back that far. We’re no longer talking about “how might modern society be different if we had made different choices, and what choices have we made that turned out to be good?” but instead saying “what if humanity never evolved and something else did instead?”

A better example, let’s look at the Grand Canyon. Carved by the Colorado River over millions of years. But let’s say you went back far enough to deviate the river’s path so that it never ran through modern day Arizona. At that point, it’s pointless to ask how the Grand Canyon might look different because there wouldn’t BE a Grand Canyon!

Oh, I see you havent used the style that replaced them yet. Infinitely worse.

The idea in concept is you just lift up or pull down from the bottom of the blinds and they’ll stay in place. In practice however, you pull down and they refuse to budge, risking you breaking them. And then when you lift up, they go to a certain point and then just stop retracting and will fall down halfway from where you wanted them.

I hate them. I hate them so much. Although, I will say blinds in general are just awful. Curtains are the superior window shade.

Which genocide? Is their belief that gay people should be killed and their actions to do so not considered a genocide?

Too big. An alteration of the timeline where that’s not the case would basically be one that didn’t involve humanity at all. Not sure you fully understood the question, it’s not asking what’s great about living in this point in time, but rather, of the different paths humanity could have taken, what makes this one good.

Where are you from? I’ve lived all over the US. Texas, East Coast, Northwest, Midwest and in both small towns and big cities. I’ve never encountered a situation where treating a malfunctioning street light as a 4 way stop isn’t just the default reaction of drivers. It’s extremely common sense.

Child me: this looks so fun!

Adult me: Ticks. Gonna have to check everywhere for ticks.

It’s not about winning the fight, it’s about ensuring they are never considered a viable target again.

So glad I got a 12900k. Apparently they beefed up the reliability of the 12th Gen since it was the first gen with the new framework, but crapped out on the subsequent gens. Looking like it’s going to be the best CPU for quite some time.

To be fair, that’s probably the best Overwatch short there is. When I first saw it, I thought “this is better than some of the stuff Pixar puts out”, which back in the day was saying something.
