Would be real nice if this supposed Omni benevolent god came down here and kicked the shit out of his misbehaving kids. You know, like a parent is supposed to do.

Because it’s your fault you were born in a regime that kills anyone who tries to leave?

That’s some hot shit take there.

Bad CEO

I mean, making threats does put a target on one’s back.

Iirc (and as an extreme novice) superconductors allow for transfer of incredible amounts of energy with little to no loss, but require extreme supercooling to do so. A superconductor that doesn’t need that cooling would allow super-efficient energy transfer with very little to no cooling needed, meaning the overhead costs are reduced dramatically.

This would be a wonder technology if proven to be true, but my understanding is most of the rest of the world is highly skeptical at the moment. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.

You can bend or break rules, laws, and your waifu as well. Are they objects or concepts?

Sure, except the randos will be narrowed to an extremely small subset of the population.

Like, one-in-a-hundred-million small.

I see the points you’re making.

I still disagree with your position.

If the vast majority of people also disagree with you, would you still hold your position on this?

If history teaches us anything, it’s that military coups are almost always a bad thing.

Seeing that you’re from Canada, why is this so? Why is living in Canada so expensive relative to elsewhere?

Except in this case it was less a sledgehammer and more a mirror.

Indeed. And how is this a “…miniature epiphany that highlights the oddities of the familiar”?

It follows neither the letter nor the spirit of the community, and moreover creates disagreement in a community meant to be lighthearted and at worst, darkly amusing.

Firstly, you’re forgetting we live in a democracy. Voting is the source of that governments power - a mandate provided by the people.

Secondly, how the hell is this a shower thought? Shower thoughts are meant to be short, concise and interesting. This screed does not fit the bill.

Russia owns the skies and the sea currently, and the bridge is deep behind enemy lines, close to Russia. It’s honestly very impressive they were able to damage it a second time.

So are their guns.

Quite the existential crisis one would think.

This should be in the sidebar so the lore isn’t lost.

Would it not be wise to back up to more modern physical media as well, i.e. an external hard drive or at least a USB drive or heck, even a folder on your computer? I would never ever trust any cloud-or-internet based service with being the sole backup for anything of personal value.

Oh, you

Does adding rocks to a rock make it rockier, or harder? Does it become a rocky rock?

You’re measuring a quality of the two objects, not the quantity, which might make a difference. I’m just sharing something I learned that I think is cool:)
