Miles O'Brien

Luckily, a legal “official act of the president” can work on more than one person.

I’m not saying it’s a great choice, but it is there.

Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.

In theory, I agree. Nuclear weaponry should never exist. The power to erase millions of people with a single push of a button is absolute insanity.

In practice, the world isn’t going to suddenly decide to de-arm itself and dismantle every nuke. So if they aren’t giving up theirs, refusing to make my own over that just leaves me another corpse on the moral high road.

Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a better place had the Manhattan project been sabotaged by the scientists and nuclear weapons were deemed unfeasible. I’d like to think so.

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

I haven’t watched fallout yet, just because I haven’t been in a “fallout” mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.

And I literally couldn’t finish a single episode.

So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It’s as low as can be.

Hi, I’m someone who loves to play video games, absolutely cannot stand to watch other people play games, and for a thankfully brief period, was completely unable to play certain games due to insufficient reflexes.

This would have allowed me to play a wider range of games. I probably wouldn’t have been able to beat dark souls, but plenty of other games would be on the table.

Heres the best part about features like this, and I hope you’re sitting because this might blow your mind: if you don’t want it, and don’t like it… don’t use it.

Hope that helps clear a few things up.

Yes, that’s why I have no arguments against the “no jobs” part.

ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you?

I’ve lived in them almost exclusively.

Assuming you spend $10 on avocado toast every day, as well as $75 on eating out for every meal, $20 for Starbucks, and ALSO assuming you have $150 worth of monthly subscriptions:

It will take you 25 years to save one million dollars. That’s assuming you never get sick, never lose a job, never need to buy a car or have major repairs, or basically any kind of surprise expense or setback that could wipe out savings.

To be the richest person on earth, you would need to save that money every year for over 6 MILLION YEARS

If it’s boring, then so are you. There’s plenty to do in the country, just not much that involves “going to crowded places and spending ridiculous amounts of money on things that would be 20x cheaper at a regular store”

No argument on anything else though…

“Stop saying you have it good. Hundreds of people all over the world go to sleep every night deciding which country they should exploit for billions next, they have it SO MUCH BETTER than you, and to say you’re happy while others have THAT to deal with is just wrong.”

Sounds kinds stupid when you flip it around. Wonder why…

Thanks to how history is being recorded, there’s no chance that he will be forgotten until civilization collapses.

I wouldn’t want history to actually forget any shitty person (or good person) because that makes it way easier for someone with similar ideals to take power again.

It’s more the sentiment.

I have a metaphorical bucket of piss just for Margaret Thatcher. ²⁶⁺⁶⁼¹

Life is one endless torment after another, soooooooo…

I can’t wait until Mccarthy has his final death and nobody remembers him anymore…

Comments like this are one of a few things.

Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you’re simply not part of the target groups yet.

Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn’t get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.

Ah, an optimist!

provided you trust your server.

You shouldn’t.

especially if you run it yourself. If you don’t have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren’t servering correctly.

I personally hope it’s not true simply because I like dogs so much. And I don’t think if it’s more expensive than other meats that it would be given to rank and file soldiers.

That said, I could see it being something special some of them brought from home (I know some us vets who would take what food from home they could, it didn’t last long but it was something from home)

I could also see it being like a perk of sending the soldiers to another country. Like “yeah, these guys are fighting over there but they get these cool perks!” but given I have very little information about the north Korean military, I have no idea if either of those things would even be an option.

Regardless, it’s 100% not a standard military ration.

I encourage people to steal non-physical things all day every day.

Sail those high seas!
