I know the joke here is that we’re just in an endless cycle, but if this happened now and we reverted to stone age sun god worshippers, we’d find it a LOT harder to redevelop modern technology. We’ve literally plundered the reachable raw materials in the ground, and scoured the biomes.
The biomes would eventually recover (and become something new), but all that nice reachable coal is gone. We may not make it if that happens.
He can do that by officially assassinating the conservative SC justices, nominating new ones, and then having armed marines inside the senate comittees to ensure they are confirmed immediately.
There’s probably a few more steps, but this would get us back on track. He would have to be willing to give up his powers at a certain point, which means installing the legal apparatus (in the form of government officials) with the will to strip those powers.
“How long are your guts?” might work if he was gay.
It doesn’t really seem that hard to test? Emotions–at least in their occurrence and strength–are detectable with non-invasive brain scans. We’ve been doing that for ages. Put some electrodes on a baby, let them see their mommy, watch the graph spike until they turn away.
The argument “how could we know that about babies?” was used, for decades, to justify doing surgery on babies without anesthesia. They can’t talk, so who knows if they’re feeling pain or not. Guess we can safely assume they don’t. Point being, we don’t have to have a conversation with them about it to know why they’re doing something.
And there’s no solidarity like class solidarity. Remember Ellen Degeneres hanging out with Bush? Bruce Wayne would’ve been in that skybox too.
Heh, your reaction is totally valid, I had the same thoughts when I was looking at the comic. I added “so people don’t think it’s gay” just to be funny, I don’t know anything about the artist. I was mainly drawing attention to the fact that–as you just said–nobody has to do this. We get the joke without the tits.
I’m glad one of the eternal spectres of death was female-coded so we know it’s not a gay romance between two personifications of the grave.
The example they set was “throw bricks at cops”, and I agree, the world should listen.
Donald Trump has never served anything except himself and maybe a few tennis balls.
Why do I see so many of these accounts from reddthat?
FYI, if they have a warrant, they no longer need your consent to do a search. Still ask for and check the paperwork, but while you’re doing that they’re gonna be searching your house. If you try to stop them you’ll be arrested.
There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?
he listens to his better angels,
One subtle diversion from this: I think the joke here is not that Everett opposes homelessness (and is generous regardless); the joke here is that he wants to encourage this fellow, and is actively fighting those who would discourage him.
It’s just a little different perspective on why this is funny.
“It got me” as in “I was surprised and laughed really hard”
Can we make it weekly
Well, the best part of 5 minutes is that first 30 seconds; the rest is kinda boring. So maybe they pissed themselves for 30 seconds.
I had a problem with cards getting demagnetised, for a long time. IDK if i just have different stuff in my wallet now or what, but it happened to me for years and then stopped happening, years ago.
Cashiers would always try rubbing it with a plastic bag, which frequently worked, which makes me think something something static electricity something magnets??
She should be pissed in any scenario. You propose to your partner, you post a photo, and then you put ANYTHING other than I LOVE MY FIANCEE in your post? That sucks, dude.
I’m pretty anti-AI but even I’ll cop to this one. ChatGPT is good at figuring out what you’re trying to describe. Know you need a particular networking concept? Describe it a bit to ChatGPT and ask for some concepts that are similar, and the thing you’re looking for will probably be in the list.
Looking for a particular library that you assume must exist even though you’ve never seen it? ChatGPT can give you that.
You’re on your own after that, but it can actually save you a bit of research time.
The problem is this: it’s sure it has the answer 100% of the time, but about 30% of the time it gives you a list of nothing but wrong answers and you can go off in the wrong direction as a result.
Shooting a gun is well within the president’s power. If he can shoot a gun with no consequences, Congress doesn’t have the ability to ignore shit.
