Yeah, kinda scary to realize that the Cold War is only now winding down - and we lost. Badly.

Do you ignore things to make yourself happy? I guess that would explain why you would assume somebody else would. But, sorry to disappoint - I’m not a Republican.

And, no, I don’t ignore even the insane shit out there. What’s the point? Besides, what kind of fucked up system do you use to decide if you’re happy anyway? Ignore shit and it’s still true.

Anyway, I’ve never met a happy Republican. As I said, they’re always afraid and/or angry. So, yeah, not hard to figure out that the study this article is referencing is bullshit. But you do you.

But my claim must be absurd! Cause you know you’re happy! Whatever, dude…

Are you…a nutcase?

Wow, what bullshit. Cognitive dissonance may give the appearance of happiness, but it is a literal hell on Earth. The psychological damage from pretending so strongly to be happy…? It’s not worth it.

And besides, no one is going to convince me that the people that are always afraid and angry are the happy ones.

He is completely wrong. Couldn’t be more wrong. But preventing a rabies outbreak?! Tyranny!!! Oppression!!! Fascism!!!

What the hell, man…

In movies when there’s a huge explosion in space, there’s always this ring that comes out from the explosion. No!

In space the blast wave would be spherical: it only looks like a 2d ring when observed from a telescope many many light years away, since the telescope can only pick up the outside edge of the blast.

So what? Still proves that your comparison to tornado drills is, well, utterly ridiculous and without merit…

Yes, that comment totally deserves a “what the f did I just read” (but in a good way!)

I’m pretty sure you have that exactly backwards, ironically…

Anybody dare do a tldr? When the first paragraph says Bros Attacks, a staple of the entire series, are new, my brain kinda melted…

I honestly couldn’t care less about middle class. They’re comfortable. I’m not. Therefore, they don’t need help…

Heh, wouldn’t that be nice. No. Up or down, the default is at the sign. Only exception is inside a municipality with a rule saying signs within so far of a corner take effect at the corner.

Ninja edit: a word or two

Seriously?? Protecting themselves from any consequences will mean they act in your best interest???

Hey, wanna buy some lakefront property? It’s on the moon, but still… 🤣

I’m not gonna teach my daughters who they are or are not supposed to trust. Because I will never teach my children what they should think, but rather how to think for themselves. I will encourage them to only trust individuals that prove themselves trustworthy, but again, that’s not my decision to make.

They’re not extensions of me; they are distinct, individual human beings. So I certainly hope you will not teach her to be distrustful; that leads to misery and pain, all in the pursuit of something that doesn’t belong to you and never will (her mind is her own, whether you like it or not).

So you’re saying the statistically less likely option is the one you think is most likely to have been the case?

Not only is this kind of view dangerous and prejudiced, it is quite simply not supported by the data.

Suzy Cube - it’s a 3d platformer, to me kinda has Super Mario 3d Land/World vibes

Huh, didn’t realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it’ll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they’re the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they’re fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was…😝)

Umm…what? Like, seriously - what??

Can I have some of whatever it is you’re smoking???
