If anything, Lemmy is worse. I found on reddit, if you at least provided evidence or support for your argument, most of the time people would at least keep your score neutral. Here though, it doesn’t matter what you provide; even if you are 100% correct with no room for argument, people will still downvote you if what you say doesn’t fit the narrative they want to believe.

Give anyone a ton of money and power and eventually they will turn into a sociopath. “Anyone” includes autistic people. We are not magical fairies immune to the basics of human corruption.

“Could”, “May”, “Might”; all fancy words for “Never gonna fucking happen”

I mean, it might have made sense if it lined up with the equatorial channel that the death star has. If the inside was exploding and that was the weakest area, material would be ejected out the ring first before the rest of the structure exploded. That might, indeed cause a ring effect. But in this scene the ring is going vertically, not horizontally. So yea, doesn’t make much sense.

Not true everywhere. Many buildings, especially industrial, require a flush of the fire suppression system annually or biannually to test that everything is still functional.

The small, inert lump of metal? No, it’s fine. 9 times out of 10, you’re going to do more damage trying to dig the bullet out rather than just patching things up. Even surgeons will sometimes leave bullets in if it’s in a dangerous/tricky spot.

A proper way to handle this would be the hero catching them and then immediately rolling a ton of times while still in the air, turning the downward velocity into angular velocity and gradually reducing the momentum. The person may still pass out from the g forces, but they won’t be a pancake.

It sure is! And if you have great friends, you all can agree that there are much better ways to socialize than standing around in the dark drinking while overly loud music plays!

Which is why I feel that for humanity to succeed we will eventually need an entirely new form of societal governance to replace capitalism & communism, just as those systems replaced feudalism and tribalism. Something like technoism where decisions are made and enacted by machines, incapable of self motivation; or geneticism where leaders’ selfish impulses are either bred or edited out of them. We are still many, many years off from technology being able to accomplish this, but the only way to overcome the human factor is to… well… remove the human factor.

Yes, but if you have to convert from Fahrenheit to another scale anyways, why in the hell would you not just go straight to Kelvin?!

Careful, you might cut yourself on that edge.

He’s a modern day Edison. Loved by some, hated by others. Takes credit for other’s work and has sketchy morals. More a businessman than an engineer. History will ebb and flow on if he’s celebrated or destined, one decade he’s a hero, the next he’s a villain; and opinion will continue to switch.

The other, from one of the interviews, the last four years of Democrat led politics has literally been the worst in their lives for both themselves living in america, and for their friends and families who live in the middle east.

Were they not alive from 2001 to 2008?

There are so many reasons to dunk on Elon, but this isn’t one of them. Generic looking humanoid robots isn’t “ripping off” I, Robot. It’s literally the most common depiction of futuristic robots around.

You wanna dunk on Musk? Talk about how his robots were remote controlled with humans talking through them. Talk about how most of his family has disowned him and refuses to have anything to do with him. Talk about how he has Trump’s dick firmly in his mouth because he might be in hot water over supplying equipment to Russia and might face prosecution if Trump isn’t elected.

But this just screams of low-hanging Musk-bait, where journalists will write anything negative about him knowing that those who have hate-boners for the guy will eat up whatever crap they shit out, even if it doesn’t make sense. It’s like going “Elon Musk ate cereal for breakfast! What a fucking loser!”

The disconnect between the general public and the realities of the petroleum industry may be the largest gap in existence. Pretty much any article you read gets 99% of the info hilariously wrong as the journalist has no idea wtf they’re talking about.

If by steal, you mean purchase from me for cheap because I don’t give a shit about it and don’t appreciate its value, only for my great grandson to show up years later and call you a thief, then sure!

Looks like you’re connected to something via Bluetooth. Is it a pair of headphones? Could your alarms be going off and playing through them? That’s happened to me a couple times.

Signal once again dodges a bullet from attracting neo-nazi’s and getting a bad reputation.
