Yeah, I love that show. They do a really good job staying grounded in real physics when they’re not in the fiction side of sci-fi. IMO, their space mechanics are unmatched in sci-fi.
I love lots of franchises that also do it poorly, but I’m always pleased when they go the extra mile.
It’s the only tactic “centrist” voters know. When someone criticizes their team, that person must be in support of the “other” team (because there’s only two, you know).
Anyone who claims otherwise is lying, so they’ll just have to keep saying that you voted for Trump even when you tell them that you voted progressive every primary and Democratic Party every general. They’re about two neurons firing away from accidentally saying “a vote for Biden is a vote for Trump” and then tripling down on it.
Neither “Playable” nor “Verified” status means no issues, unfortunately. It’s still good, but IMO the current rating system leaves a lot to be desired.
It’s always been one of many reasons progressives stand apart from centrists, but are you really so tone-deaf that you can’t see why it might have become particularly relevant during Biden’s presidency?
And how, exactly, are the progressives supposed to do something when the Democratic Party puts more resources into beating down progressives than it does Republicans?
This comment betrays the absolute inhumanity of the Democratic Party. “Why do you give a shit about other humans, and why don’t you do something about it with the zero power we’ve allowed you to have?” What a horrific position to take.
I don’t know about you, but I wanted him to stop working when he was 74 and enjoy the rest of his life with his family like people should be allowed to do much younger than that, not start working again at 78.
I have absolutely no guilt over what happened at the tail end of his presidency, I tried to keep him from being in that position at all.
+ All of physics. Especially anything involving characters falling, lasers, explosions, firearms, and any physics in space (sound, motion, temperature, black holes).
Not that it’s known physics, but time travel falls into this category too. Not the time travel itself, that’s just suspension of disbelief, but having time travel mechanics be internally consistent. It’s difficult to do well.
Bonus points if two characters are playing together, frantically mashing buttons, and the game on screen is single player.
Also 18. When it’s cold 16, lol. Never a shirt.
Funny, this is actually more specific about your birthday than just saying your birth year. This also encodes whether your birthday is before or after the current date within the year.
So… 1999 with your birthday later than May 10?
I mean… per the meme, very much not our first time.
Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we’ll officially transition to “30s to mid 40s.”
That’s not whataboutism. Whataboutism is using issue B to distract from issue A. I’m using another flavor of issue A that you might understand to illustrate issue A.
You said “leftists” (meaning me, derogatorily) strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.
Let me say this again for the little on the back: you don’t define the left, the Democrats don’t define the left, you and the Democrats aren’t even left. I don’t care about the origin of the term in 1800s France, that’s completely irrelevant today. France is 5 governments away from that time.
I’m not a fan of Stalin or communism. So get the fuck out with your red scare bullshit. You’re the one who went on the attack here, so get your own self and house in order before you start telling others how they need to behave.
What are you even saying here? When did I use whataboutism? When did I compare myself to the Nazi party?
I am left of the Democratic Party on every issue. So if you’re saying I’m not left but the Democrats are, how does that square?
As a side note, it’s lovely when you start using your little subtle variations on names as a derogatory term. You know how petty and stupid it is when the Republicans say “Democrat Party” as some weird dig to emphasize the “rat” ending? Same energy with you and “leftist” which is a term I never used for myself and which is often used by Democrats derogatorily. I describe myself as left speaking of the left-right spectrum. If you want a political label for me call me a progressive, though even that isn’t the whole truth.
I did too after this comment.
I definitely was hoping Lemmy would be better than reddit for this but it’s the same neoliberals bullshitting that was rampant there. It’s exhausting.
The Republicans don’t call themselves Nazis, and yet they are the party of Nazis. Turns out you can’t trust a group’s self-applied label to accurately describe what they stand for in perpetuity.
Uh, no? The Democratic Party doesn’t define the left. The Democratic Party left the left. Here’s a bit right from Wikipedia.
The left seeks social justice through redistributive social and economic policies, while the right defends private property and capitalism. The nature of the conflict depends on existing social and political cleavages and on the level of economic development.
I haven’t seen the Democratic Party pay anything but lip service to the definition of the left in a long time. Neoliberalism, which is the party line right now, is a right wing ideology.
I don’t need you to share it, I need you to stop spouting bullshit blaming people who want something better.
Silo also has several falls that should absolutely kill people. One that’s like dozens of feet into the pile that they throw all sorts of sharp metal objects on? Dead.
Free falling off a bridge with just a rope tied around your waist that stops you? At the very least your back is fully broken, but that fall looked long enough that you should just be dead. Full Gwen Stacy.
