  • cue 5 minutes of

    click.......

    click....

    click...

    Repeat at next joint.

  • I say this in nearly complete seriousness:

    Always has been

    🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

  • Go ahead and do it!

    When the world really does end, it's not like anyone will be there to snarkily post "yeah but it DID so you're wrong" so you get the last laugh, posthumously.

  • I assume the owner set up a script to post "no" every day. Nothing more complex like trying to auto-read news posts to find a relevant one or something.

    The owner just didn't see the news in time to stop the bot.

  • Nononono you don't understand, it was a family member 8 years ago accepting t&cs for a website they spent 3 seconds on before backing to search results over too many ads.

    Therefore by the fact that they're related, they also are subject to the terms.

    It's not rocket appliances.

  • Lol hasn't had a job since she popped out of religious college in the early 80s.

  • Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.

    Poll question: do you believe in a deity

    Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no

    Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.

  • Literally doing so right now.

    Sorry I failed my solidarity test, Luigi.

  • "The squeaky hinge gets the grease"

    "The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first"

    These are metaphors to say "since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they're getting news stories and social media posts"

    Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn't operating a "driverless taxi" service. Yet.

    I'm sure that as something advertised as "driverless" that tesla's owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn't excuse what they do.

  • My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.

    If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.

  • Waaaaaay ahead of you.

    I've been screaming for them to stop for years.

  • Corvids evolved beyond the need for physical form.

    All that remains are echoes.

  • un-miles-obrien, basically a cheeky way of saying unjerk my role play... Yeah not very clever mind you, but I work on transporters not words.

  • The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you'd break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.

    Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.

    So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that's more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now

    Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.

    /uMO So in other words.... Whatever the plot currently demands, that's what they go with. It's just a show of "we need to be there quickly" or "we have some time to kill" more or less.

  • Should hold the same penalties as a poor person's fraud.

  • It's insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think "I'm good to go on an all day woodland adventure!" with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.

    I've actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they're complaining about being cold when we're in the valleys...

  • "no you don't understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!"

    -you

  • That's less of a ship and more of a "it's stated in the story itself"

    I mean, personally I don't love any of my bros like I would my wife.... That's just me, but you do you.

  • I can remind all the Star Trek fans that the episode Sub Rosa exists.

    And to all the anime fans, I'm so sorry to do this to you...

    "Ed..... Ward...?"

  • There's a Guillotine for him in Ohio

    It's... Uhhhhhhh

    At an acquaintance's house.
