Probably not enough volume to engulf you and make you drown. Usually stomach acid is strong enough to irritate but not dissolve a whole prey, so those two are out. However accidental inhalation and fumes might be a motherfucker and getting it into the eyes would be horrendous.

Two possible scenarios:

  • Suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.

  • Crushed to death by the stomach. It is conceivable that this baby (slaps roof of the dinosaur) can crush large prey to death in the stomach and grind it to small bits by having an especially strong muscle lining.

Nothing matters Nothing you do matters Life is meaningless

I mean, yea, does a rock rolling down a hill have meaning? But I don’t really see that as a problem, I’m having a banger time anyway…

You ask how hamas attacking freighters full of western goods and capital have anything to do with mega corps LMAO

Houthis are not the Hamas but okay… The Houthis are not protesting shipping or shipping companies in the red sea any more than climate activists are protesting classical paintings.

The only way you could have a conversation with me was to try and shut down my original point (which all you’ve come back with was that Anonymous and Wikileaks just are forgotten somehow and have no ability to back that point up) by coming up with your own and arguing that.

Mate, all you have come back with is “You are wrong LMAO🤣”, call it a strawman if you want, the distance from the steelman version of your arguments is a rounding error.

Anonymous hasn’t been in the news for anything for over a year and even then it was minor disruptive shit, WikiLeaks hasn’t published anything of note in 4 years… Go ask random people on the street to name one thing either is known for besides generalisations like hacking or leaks and watc 9/10 (probably more like 98/100) stumble over their words.

That’s text book goalpost moving. Let me start randomly popping into your comments with other people claiming separate points as rationale for your point somehow not having meaning

You are in the comments on a post about nintendo calling people dellusional for not believing some peoples grudge against one of the biggest names in the industry means jack. I provided reasonably similar examples ( EA, blizzard). So when you get called out on it you clap back with “but hamas, wikileaks and anonymous?” But sure, realism is dillusional defeatism, im shuffling goalposts left and right. Everyone who has seen your comment clearly agrees with you.

E: minor interpolation in the last paragraph

Goalposts? Come on

actually mattered

Is what I said. We were talking about public grudge against megacorps, how Hamas, Wikileaks or Anonymous factors in the topic, Im really not sure.

And I also don’t really see how I’m strawmanning. I was maybe being faceticious. By all means correct me if I’m wrong.

Walmart raising wages might be seen as a successfull protest, but walmart is still exploiting unskilled labour for terrible wages, just not terrible enough for people to huff and puff over. What actually changed about walmart?

Big oil is still just as horrible, we are still plunging head first into full scale climate catastrophe by the end of the century in pursuit of profits. What has actually changed?

If you want to call this an example of succesfull public action with sizeable long term implications, I guess we have to agree to disagree. The way I see it these companies just do the bare minimum to muffle the loud voices and just wait until the collective memory moves on to the next thing on the news cycle.

Delusional if you think people easily forget grudges against big companies lmao

That is precisely what you said. And if we want to double back to your reply, both anonymous and wikileaks are largely forgotten as well.

Blizzard might have changed leadership but if the public grudge is really as strong (and not easily forgotten) as you imply, then where were all the people who yelled they would never support blizz again (after either incident, or the many smaller things people have hated), they released the garbage pile that is D4 and upon quick google it made roughly as much money as D3.

People dont remember this stuff for more than a week, and even then, the people talking about it are a vocal minority. Most people don’t care or can’t afford to care in the first place. And most of the loud ones are just virtue signal bandwaggoning. This was very evident on reddit, for example. People somehow had all the same talking points for about 2-3 weeks, then it was the next thing, the old one somehow forgotten.

Half of these have nothing to do with the topic at hand. And then the rest are top notch examples...

Walmart has been supremely crippled by public opinion, hasn't it? Such a strong public grudge, they are surely on the brink of running out of business. The big oil corps totally care about what you think. Nestle is sweating trying to keep their business afloat. Pre-orders are dead, early access is a failed business model. Blizzard is in shambles after the Blitzchung incident. And the sexual assault.

On and on.

This is a semi-good LPT. You can save a lot of time and grievance by just not folding your clothes and throwing them into piles (inside boxes or drawers, preferably) by type (socks, underwear, shirts, etc). Bonus tip - if you have a spot where dirty clothes keep piling up (used to be bedroom for me), just put a laundry basket there (in the exact spot you discard your dirty clothes).

If you hate doing laundry, get a dryer and do this, it will make it so much easier. It becomes transport your basket from your aggregation area, dump it in the washer, throw in a random amount of whatever washing thing around, set an alarm on phone, throw it in the dryer, second alarm, take it to your usage pile(s). Turns laundry from tedious into barely a chore.

You could either have socks already in pairs at drying time (we hangdry so we do this, just hang them together and when taking off, fold one into the other, they will not separate accidentally). Alternatively you could have all the same socks and not care.

Alternatively, you can just not care if yours socks match. I only care for my business socks because a) they all have silly designs and b) My line of work calls for a slight bit of professionalism in appearance, so I try to style my hair, clean up my facial hair and at least have matching socks, goofy as they might be. Thank god I don’t have to wear a suit.

Oh come on now. When is the last time anyones grudge against megacorps actually mattered. EA has been under huge public scrutiny many times, at the end of the day it doesnt actually matter. Its a vocal minority, mostly, virtue signaling, while they keep paying the same corps.

Helium-3 is not used in general applications, its uses are far more niche, it is much more rare than helium 4. For most applications, when we talk about helium being used we mean plain old helium-4. MRI machines and balloons both use helium-4.

Ive been under fire for saying this on reddit, but the fact is that there is no safe amount of alcohol. This is not to say that you can’t consume alcohol, but it would be nice to be mindful of these risks. Many people even have the opinion that a drink a day might be beneficial even.

Alcohol is implicated in a wide range of cancers and even small amounts of regular consumption contribute to their development. Among those is gastric and esophageal cancers, which are particularly nasty since they are rarely discovered beforee terminal stages and the treatments cause horrible long term disability. Theres pancreas and liver cancers, theres cirrhosis which in itself is horrible.

Nothing good comes of alcohol and its effects are also socially pretty awful. I honestly rather deal with most junkies than alcoholics, junkies generally only cause problems due to their drug-seeking behavious. The most awful EMS interactions I experience usually are with people under the influence of alcohol. It is geniunily hard to maintain compassion with them.

Wdym? The only difference is the helium gas used in more serious applications is more pure. Its helium all the same.

Doesn’t matter the tactics used, its corrupt politians measuring their dicks by using regular people as pawns on a chessboard.

Pretty sure its just moral relativism.
