This is why women choose the bear
  • All of whom thrive on stuff like man vs bear discourse

  • Sysadmin shock as Windows Server 2025 installs itself
  • here a mislabeled "security update" was auto-installed.

    To be fair, you would have to read all the way to the first paragraph to get this information from the article. Hard to blame people for not knowing this critical bit of information when it was buried so deep

  • "But he is left-leaning and the lesser of the two evils!1!!1!1!!"
  • 90% of kids will be fine, and giving a shit about the 10% will get you labeled an authoritarian who wants to take away people's rights

  • Too bad they are missing their Christmas bonuses.
  • This is definitely fake, but it's tremendously funny so I choose to believe it's real

  • Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
  • The cost of getting the goods to consumers goes up. Does the consumer pay:

    A) More

    B) Less

    C) The same

    This election was decided by the majority of people in this country not being able to answer this very simple question

    Edit: oh shit I didn't even notice it was you lmao I see you're still roleplaying The Person With The Worst Takes

  • If only I had time to re-watch everything again
  • I wasn't kidding about the one year thing, I'm back! All of these shows were great. You weren't kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can't believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it's cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There's a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can't bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I'm fond of both series

    I haven't watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it's one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It's crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Clumsy, Preachy Political Messaging Does More Harm Than Good
  • I don't care about wokeness, the game looks like plastic garbage and they genericized the combat

  • We saw a similar cycle with Falcon 9 reusability
  • I don't think I'm wrong at all to suggest that they have different philosophies when it comes to launching rockets. The reason behind that is worth talking about, but the fact remains that they have different philosophies. Personally, I would love for NASA to get funding exceeding SpaceX's funds. We could certainly afford it. But no matter how much funding they get, Joe Public will get pissed about wasted tax dollars if NASA starts blowing up rockets. SpaceX, while partially publicly funded, is ostensibly a private company, which allows them some leeway in the eyes of the public when it comes to blowing up rockets.

    SpaceX mishaps so far have not killed people. Will you still be giving them leeway when they do?

    What kind of leeway do you think I'm giving SpaceX? What kind of leeway do you think I'm not giving NASA? Consider the fact that I'm morally consistent. Do you think you can answer your question yourself?

  • The Darkest Thing
  • And then the concept of "and then" ceases have meaning, when the ratio between the time when there are things and the time when there are no things approaches 0

  • The Darkest Thing
  • The darkest thing is the universe, in about 10^10¹²⁰ years (or seconds, or stellar lifespans, it's all the same at this time scale), after every star has died, every black hole dissipated, and every material object quantum tunneled out of existence, when energy is as dispersed as it can possibly be

  • We saw a similar cycle with Falcon 9 reusability
  • I do think there's a significant difference in approach. NASA has a focus on doing it once and doing it right, SpaceX has a focus on doing it as many times as physically possible and learning a tremendous amount from the many, many failures. Be honest, did anyone genuinely believe that rocket would be successfully captured on the first attempt?

    If it had blown up, oh well. That's SpaceX's whole thing. If a NASA rocket blows up, it's a big fucking deal, and suddenly we don't show shuttle launches in schools anymore

  • Anon gets hit by a car
  • The lamp story was over a decade ago, this greentext was well after it

    But also it's not an incredibly uncommon dream. I've had the same kind of dream before, though not nearly as emotionally affected as these guys

  • We saw a similar cycle with Falcon 9 reusability
  • Elon Musk is an apartheid nepobaby fascist, but Gwynne Shotwell, and to a much greater extent the engineers actually doing the damn thing, seem to have their heads on straight

    Mechazilla is objectively rad as fuck

  • read a gain
  • Source for my claim

    I should have said half of the Americans reading my comment rather than half of the people reading it, though if we include all people who speak English as a first language, the statistics don't change much—Americans make up more than 60% of all native English speakers, so at the absolute least, 3/10 of the native English speakers reading my comment are below an 8th grade level (assuming there's no correlation with Lemmy users having higher than average literacy, which I'm sure Lemmy users would like to believe, but we shouldn't make this assumption without data to back it up)

  • PSA TO NCD USERS
  • I blocked the entire Blahaj instance a while ago

    I cant think of a single user I have seen from that instance that isn't unsavory

    Can't imagine why you haven't seen any of the many chill folk from that server

  • PSA TO NCD USERS
  • If I understand right, they're upset that the blahaj.zone admins blocked content from CDRMITTENS on their instance. Blahaj admins can't remove content from a community hosted on SJW, but they can prevent content posted by individual SJW users from showing up on blahaj.zone

    Personally I think nuke is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Blajah admins can do whatever they want on their instance. I don't really care whether or not I can see content posted by someone who supports the IDF. I'd actually rather not see it tbh

  • read a gain
  • Unfriendly reminder that over half of United States adults read at or below an 8th grade level. My favorite part of this statistic is fact that, unless you've had your reading comprehension tested in an objective manner recently, you have no idea whether you fall in the upper or lower half. Statistically, half of the Americans reading this comment read it with a lower proficiency than a middle schooler.

    (Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

    RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

    Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

    Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

    MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

    FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

    RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

    Without the guide of others I assumed

    That heat was merely added for the sake

    Of expediting this solution's brewing!

    Half a decade I have spent, or more,

    Not questioning this worldview I had made.

    In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

    That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

    Might have a patience of sufficient stock

    To wait until a pot of water boils.

    FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

    The microwave will beep when it is done!

    CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

    Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

    FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

    That I have not the patience, like our Root,

    To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

    CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

    FROG: On what plate?

    Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

    CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

    Of boiling but a single cup alone?

    FROG: In minutes?

    CATS'N: Yes!

    FROG: I counted seven, once.

    CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

    If on a middle heat you place the cup

    You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

    Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

    Or even less, if you should have a pot.

    FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

    You place upon the iron stove a mug?

    A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

    How do these flames, though medium in height,

    Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

    Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

    With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

    (The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

    KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

    must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
