Funnily enough I watched Avengers yesterday and was reminded of the sheer stupidity of Thanos’ plan.
Kill half the living beings. Great. After a traumatic event, people typically nstart banging like bunnies and you’ll get a great amount of offspring and within 30 years things will be worse than before because of what you did.
Instead, bring the miracle of contraception and improve living standards for everyone and watch a miracle unfold with so much less resources required than maintaining huge armies to cause suffering
Since prophecy was such a core part of BSG, I feel it was done quite well
School shootings Kids safety trainings for school shootings Guns everywhere Two party political system Rampant racism Prison slavery Everything about its police force Unaffordable medical system combined with absolute shit medical insurance I can go on for a while
Government should do that fully, even lasik, in my opinion, but this is the US, so yeah.
I just tried to make the argument that the woman has a point, at that age you should show some responsibility for your own life
I can with a straight face claim that Europe is more united than the US is ans has been for a long time
Why do you think it is that he’s limiting to ginger wagging?
What do you think would happen if he stops giving them weapons and a blanket kill whatever you want okay?
Being able to become lucid in your dreams means you can also have a certain level of control and face whatever it is that causes that fear, and get over it
everyone knows the staff basically only gets paid in tips
Yeah, Europe is superior to the US.
Most tech sucks because it’s closed source. Closed source products are typically made with “the least amount of work done to sell for the most amount of buck”. So standards are only sloppily and partially implemented (or sometimes purposefully badly or differently to ensure incompatibility), and bugs after sale won’t be fixed because why would they? They already have your money. Middle managers will work hard to ensure more money goes to advertising and marketing than to actual development.
Then there is the embrace, expand, extinguish mentality (hello Microsoft!) to force customers to stay around their shitty products. Microsoft 365 and teams shit are perfect examples. The company I work at currently uses it and it’s beyond garbage shit that is expensive as hell. Not an hour goes by without me being confronted by bad design, bugs, bugs, bugs, so many bugs… And it’s all designed to ensure you stay in their little walled garden. I can’t change this today, but I’m planning to be rid of it in about a year from now, fingers crossed.
In my experience, open source software is fucking awesome because people built it to actually build something awesome. Standards are implemented to the letter, bugs are fixed, and it all works and looks awesome.
Everybody here things it so funny to talk about how we’ll all die ans it’s all horrible but really?
Lifw is pretty good. Yeah, we’re off worse off today than, say, 30 years ago, but compared to the 4 billion or so years before that? We’re doing awesome.
We have direct communicationto anyone in the world in the palm of our hands. Even the poor got better and nicer food today than kings had 300 years ago. Life expectancy even over the past 100 years has gone up dramatically…
This “we’re living in the worst times ever!” Is kind of like climate change deniers cherry picking a tiny sliver of a huge graph and say “see? Temperatures.are going down!” It’s nonsense. Yeah, things got a bit worse.over the past decade, they’ll get better again soon and we’re still way better off than, say, 1980
You can open pdf files. PDF files were designed to be interchangeable, and readable in the same way everywhere, it’s the entire point of the format. If some shit platform cannot open a PDF file, then you need a new platform, period. It’s a basic ingredients, it’s like leaving out potatoes in mashed potatoes. You can still open up the file outside the platform and if said platform doesn’t allow that then by god are you on the wrong wrong platform.
I have reviewed many resumes, I HATE Athenones that are sent in with word, it’s always a hassle to open, it always looks different on different versions, it requires me to have to deal with Microsoft shit which I don’t want, use PDF.
If you are an HR manager and you’re unable to open a PDF then you should first try and finish first grade high school before continuing your job.
How many great employees have YOU missed out on because you’re so lacking in basic life skills that one wonders how you found the tit as a baby to nourish yourself…
Just to clarify your answer a little bit: this has nothing to do with atheism, nor that atheists think like this. Many of these asshats actually are religious and somehow with mental gymnastics tell themselves they’re righteous and good and that they’ll get into some imaginary heaven because of their hateful behavior.
This has more to do with mental illness like narcissism, and psychopathy than them being atheist
To be fair… On the one hand, publicly complaining about the upbringing of your own daughter is just bad, but on the other…
When you’re 24 years old with your own (presumedly good) income and you want a non critical operation done, shouldn’t you try and finance that yourself?
You do understand we can make loads of those about communism as well?
Capitalism has caused untold horrors.
Have you seen what horrors communism has caused, though? Ever tried looking at history? Maybe read up on the great Chinese famine? Maybe read up on how communism started in Russia? You know, maybe watch the movie “the Chekist”, great movie for those under the illusion that communism is a great thing. If your stomach can survive that movie, then yeah, you’re a diehard who is perfect for the next regime
Nope.
Just count on the news cycle to forget about it within 48 hours. Just claim you’re right, you have evidence and then never speak of it again. You won the argument.
I hate it that it works so well. People forget, fine. However, how can news agencies have such Alzheimers brains to forget about all the shit that trump has pulled? They should keep hammering on all of it until either he puts up or shuts up
Just say you have evidence, then never present it, people will completely.forget about it, problem solved.
Honestquestion: can she be tried in court for publicly calling people.yo commit crimes?
