How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real?

Hard to tell when it’s muffled by the ribcage

Worse than a bad joke: an ill-informed joke

It’s nonstandard but gets the point across. English isn’t a programming language.

Are they charging my family for the bullet?

I can agree to that

Trash panda > regular panda

Fight me, China

People are more helpful if you’re nice to them.

If they had a way to affect our technology in a meaningful way at interstellar distances we can assume their understanding of mathematics is significantly more advanced than ours.

If their understand of mathematics is that much more advanced we can assume that their knowledge of cryptography is also much more advanced.

They’d probably be able to crack our encryption fairly easily.

Keep in mind, this was back when Google was still a “don’t be evil” company and it was before the days of surveillance capitalism.

So you were an innovator in surveillance capitalism. I think that might be why the person you replied to said you have questionable ethics. I share this opinion.

Let’s see how harmless it is when I jam it in your compound eye Mr. Kleezorp

It really seems like you’re just describing time zones. Or do you mean that we should be even more granular about it and have personal timezones that adjust depending on where we are on the globe? That just seems like timezones with extra steps

We learned many things from the mighty Egyptians, such as pyramid building, space travel… and how to prepare our dead so as to scare Abbott and Costello.

The means were also quite humane. Transporters aren’t generally portrayed as being painful and they’re quick. Janeway’s disposal of that abomination was an act of mercy.

Janeway did plenty of wrong things, a few war crimes, some atrocities, harboring a pedophile.

The death of Tuvix was not one of them. Voyager needed both men in their respective positions not one man pulling double duty. There a number of times after the Tuvix incident that everyone on Voyager would have died if Janeway had made the other choice, simply because Tuvok wasn’t there.

Capitalism.

Hunting is needed for wildlife management. We’ve killed most of the natural predators for the animals we have hunting seasons for so we need to fill that niche or those animals won’t have enough food to go around during winter. I can’t speak for the animals, but I would prefer being shot to death rather than starving to death. There’s also the factor of more deer (and other prey animals) crossing roads being more dangerous for everyone involved.

AirBnB landlords are even worse than traditional landlords (although there’s a lot of crossover between the two) because the overly high rates they charge for short-term leases are increasing the prices of long-term leases as well.

Not having every aspect of their lives and identities stripped of meaning, repackaged, and sold back to them in ever shittier forms.

Easily, I think they had a form of food delivery in the 1700’s, it’s just faster now.
