I’ll have you know it was a very productive 20 minutes.

Hey! Got any garlic onions?

bum bum bum bahdadahdahdahdah

They’re all the same Q.

Which brings about the question: Is Alexander half-Q, or did Q just steal a klingon baby…

Me, having very little knowledge about keeping vegetation alive: “oooh, that’s a nice plant.”

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

If

Data = current AI

Then

Modern lifeforms = aerobic bacterium,

Modern flip Smartphones = Motorola Microtac,

SR-71 = Wright Model B,

Rimac Never = Ford Model A.

Comparing Data to modern ai is just an insult to Data.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

That could come later.

For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.

That’s unfortunate.

I do enjoy builders and management games, so I was hoping it had improved.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that they pull a No Man’s Sky and actually strive to make a playable game, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems.

That could mean that the already content players are still happy with their game, and the vocal haters don’t have enough to hate on that doesn’t sound petty.

I say that as someone who has not played CS2 and plays 1 heavily modded… So the fuck do I know

Not always involving Rome. Not always the past. Not always even human when you wake up.

But for a brief moment I can try to imagine how good that must feel to not have any of this be a concern of mine, because I’m so far removed from it, it cannot affect me.

Like waking up as a sentient mycelium colony on a distant planet. Who gives a shit about housing prices or what youtube channel is allegedly being treated unfairly when your sole purpose is to slowly expand across the surface of an alien world and you can instead contemplate the quality of nutrients.

Don’t get me started on Sisko and the “tEmpOrAl PrImE sUggEsTiOn”

Those Old Scientists sure loved to throw security at every problem and hope they have enough bodies to drown whatever is threatening them.

Guaranteed knockout, first time every time.

It works quite well against the cardies.

You’re actually the first one to ever comment on the punctuation change. I’ve been waiting for this day for years.

So uh… 👉😎👉 Zoop

1: holy shit that title is a… It’s something, alright.

B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that’s still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.

Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn’t even be talking to you.

But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

To summarize the comment you are replying to:

“astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”

“now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”

It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.

You know that “men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” meme?

For me it’s an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it’s one of the originals that’s been sealed away for decades.

The fact that even when trying to be dystopian as fuck, depressingly bad, showcasing the worst decisions that the more aggressive (and let’s be honest, savage by comparison) people of the past, they give humanity WAY too much credit.

Not a chance in hell anyone would create special areas for homeless people unless there were some ulterior motive. Because even though the cost of housing and programs to educate, therapy to help with any issues stemming from homelessness or mental disorders (including many that you will likely get just from being homeless that never showed up before) and substance abuse problems (that again, likely were not present pre-homelessness) is WAY lower than what we pay to “deal with it” the way we do, everyone just kind of seems okay with how the homeless get treated.

And when you are watching 27 different angles of a bunch of people filming cops going around beating homeless people and dragging out of tents by their hair in order to burn them down with all the possessions inside, and nobody fucking lifts a finger to help those being opressed, it really winks in that maybe we don’t deserve to make it past the bell riots.

Because even the shitty oppressive government of a fictional universe where most governments are completely changed, gone or barely dangling by a thread is a hell of a lot better than the shit we’re stuck with.
