What about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 4chan?

You know why. Because the CEOs of the first three bent the knee to the facists already, and the last one is a breeding ground for MAGA.

This is just the next round of CEOs to be intimidated into submission. Some of them won’t need intimidation of course, spez will be happy.

There’s a lot of movies I really like. But I believe these to be my all time favorites:

Master and Commander

Rogue One

Tron: Legacy

Arrival

Do we work for the same company? Exactly same story here. Also just botched the Oracle to Aurora migration.

Open two Chrome tabs at the same time.

Alien, zombie, monster, catastrophe, etc movies and shows. Obviously not all of them, but the genre in general.

Many people complain these shows only work because the characters act stupid, and it’s true.

BUT: a) what’s the alternative? Not having these shows at all? b) People are stupid even without a catastrophe. What makes you think we suddenly all develop a brain when there’s an alien invasion, or zombie outbreak? If Covid showed us anything, than that there’s a very large part of the population who’d go out of their way to act against everyone’s best interest.

At first I thought you would talk about Magic the Gathering. My confusion increased with every sentence.

Just curious, why do you think a ring would predate the elevator?

(Not OP) Because simply from a construction-point-of-view it’s achievable now. Unlike a space elevator, a ring could actually be built and used with today’s materials.

I’m as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It’s hard to put into words, really. At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to “feel” it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it’s such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they “did” already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the “window in the time switching room” explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo. I’m absolutely positively confused, and I love it.

Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he’s thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?

Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)…

At the same time we stop believing everything we read on the internet. As told to us by the people who now happily believe every oh so absurd made up bullshit on the internet or TV.

No. It’s complicated. There are new scanners, which are supposed to detect and identify fluids, and we’re supposed to lead to a removal of the fluid restrictions. But now there’s claims they are not good as expected.

So yeah, new scanners, but sometimes with restrictions in place and sometimes not. And if the whole airport (or just the security check point you end up at) doesn’t have the new scanner… then of course the restriction is definitely in place.

Source: airport nearby has a mix of old and new scanners.

But I’m curious, why are Europeans so horrified by the idea of heating water in the microwave?

Not op. But I’m really curious about the whole “microwave water” thing.

For me it’s just a completely foreign idea. Maybe because electric kettles are so ubiquitous over here. Like everyone has one, including office kitchens and hotel rooms.

I’m also curious over the practicality. Doesn’t it spill over? What kind of container do you use to hold the water? For example if you want one cup of tea, do you just put a cup of water into the microwave? Depending on the container, do you watch it the whole time?

I understand why one may use the microwave to heat water, I also understand it works, but the idea of actually doing it is… mystifying.

With a gun to my head I’d struggle to say my date of birth correctly.

There is a science or food YouTuber out there who’d be really excited to try this, if only they read your idea.

If only they’d also be forced to retire at 60. Instead they stay in politics and continue to make decisions based on outdated knowledge and ideals.

People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.

I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don’t really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.

I was so hyped when I saw the trailers, because the visuals and ideas of the story they showcased were exactly my jam. But oh boy, what a dumpster fire the whole movie turned out to be.

Edit: yep, still goosebumps watching the trailer

You are indeed correct. A higher card “sticht” (=beats) a lower cards.

Of course those people existed before, and were just as evil as they are now. But before Trump they didn’t get to act on their evil traits. With him on top, and more and more like minded in top positions, they can finally act with impunity. They don’t need to fear consequences anymore. And that is absolutely related to Trump. So fuck Trump.

It wasn’t for a long time. That was also a very controversial decision (albeit I think it was necessary).

The developer is a cash hungry idiot, with no intention to ever listen to the community.

The community is great, battles intense, and the skill ceiling sky high. Sailing mechanisms second to none.

There’s a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it’s almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.

I stopped playing when the Dev decided to split the already low-populated PvP server into two separate instances, which is currently being reversed (to noones surprise).
