The people who hate star wars the most are themselves the biggest fans of star wars.

Im stealing these.

Now, that one does have its place. I either it in an ironic sense that you dont need multiple degrees to do something. The flip side is that the people we send to space tend to be the most qualified people in multiple fields, a medical surgeon with a stem degree does not sound too far outside the realm of reason.

Agree, the suspension of disbelief is important when your are emulating conflicts similar to the way that people do in meat space.

Playing as a realisticly depicted person shooting another realisticly depicted person cant be good for your mental health.

Its very hard to find anything in the lower 48 and Canada (Your right, Mexico has a lot more preserved sites) that are older that 400 years old. I was recently out in southern Utah and there are petroglyphs around Moab, some depicting horses which dates them to no earlier than the mid-1600s. Others are believed to be significantly older.

Meaning Ive seen something in the US that is older than your mum. /s

Its even worse during Allston Xmas, the city in its infinite wisdom decided that most leases end on the same day. All the schools also have the new semester start right around the same time, and all the new students arrive within that few day window.

Lets paint this picture, the city is in panic mode as the student population makes up ~25% of the population of Boston, and they are all returning for the new semester. They likely have just moved as their old lease is up and their new one starts on the same day. They will take all of their worldly possessions and put them into the back of their friends sedan and drive to their new place, anything that wont fit is left on the curb. The previous tenant of the new place did the exact same thing. They put all the things they care for into their new place and decide which furniture from the previous tenant is good enough and put it back inside. Anything left on the curb by ~4 PM is fair game, and will be disposed of by the city next time the collect trash

The freshmen, whos parents are sending their spawn to MIT or BU have a u-haul (that they dont know the height of) carrying all their worldly possions, dispite their tiny dorm not having the room for it (and being told this repeatedly by the school). All it takes is one of these muppets to not pay attention and one of the major arteries into the city is blocked. Traffic will back up for miles, non-masshole drivers operating things that should require a CDL are trying to take short-cuts navigating the narrow boston city roads in small box trucks and every residential street will be a mass of double parked cars as the city collectivly shuffles the entire student population in a day.

Chaos is an understatement (its a lot of fun to watch).

We should bring back tricorns, I just think they are neat.

Arn’t we all time travlers? Just sitting in the right lane of spacetime with the cruise control on?

Exactly, I told my sibilings that when they went off to college.

You can always call me, I will drive to the ends of the earth to pick you up, I wont tell the folks if you dont want me to. You do, however, have to be able to tell the person scraping your sorry ass off the pavement exactly what you broke. (And dont do anything where you wouldent be able to tell them either)

Dont break the weekend rules

• Do NOT add to the population
• Do NOT subtract from the population
• Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
• • If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.

Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.

If the camera is that important, then look for a phone where the camera is the primary feature. Samsung has some nice ones these days, Fairphones offerings are generally average across the industry, many claim they are over priced, but that is due to their picky component/vendor selection (See their attempts at ethicaly sourced parts).

I ordered a Fairphone 4 and had it shipped over to the US before they officially supported US carriers and got their reseller state side to fix some minor issues.

And its also cute I get to play the “Organic” card for a piece a tech. The device itself is good enough and with the repairability focus I can take my battery out as a party trick. (I have seriously done this, it works best for Iphone people)

Holy URLs Batman!

I would love that, I dont think the movie is terrible, its just that everything after Ford and Arthur get thrown out the airlock isnt as funny or absurd as the books. The main issue is the first 2ish books are unadaptable because there is no central conflict (or arleast the main cast dosent care or know there was supposed to be one).

Zaphod is the only person with motivation to do anything other than to continue existing, and he is unaware (or dosen’t care) he is being hunted until they meet those suprisingly progessive law enforcment officers on Magrathea and when he visits the guides publishing offices.

And the bowl of petunias thought “Oh no, not again…”

I play EvE online and have done the whole player/corp/guild managment thing and we had a phrase.

“The game has 4 currencies Time, Money, Content and Trust. You can buy 3 of them”

In your context, times currency is a represention of existing. If you choose to spend it wisely is up to you. And we’re out here shooting the shit on Lemmy… so… Yah…

How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.

Lever on the side usually, internals for residential and commercial comodes are very different. Most arn’t super water efficent, but maintenance can be done by just about anyone. (American here, Euro style toilets are just better)

Its healthier not to have them. Also there is a technical limitation in that points are logged by the instance you post on, your profile could keep a rough tally, but thats yet another cross instance data stream that would need to be synced. Seeing how most lemmy instances are pretty small or managed by hobbiests, thats fine, less for them to worry about.

Also if you post because you have something to say over wanting internet points, people will read your words differently.
