Exactly how I thought about it in highschool.
That bullet is my ticket outta here and I'll be damned if someone else is gonna take it before me! course, alot's changed since then. I've got people who care about me and a few promises to keep, and overall my life's alot better since I have my own autonomy now.
SO THAT'S WHERE CHANTS OF SENAAR GOT THAT
Addendum: I fuckin loved so many aspects of playing through that game. If you haven't tried it, a full playthrough is only 5 or 6 hours and it's a really awesome puzzle game experience. Since it's a language discovery game, it plays like a mystery game, which is really fantastic.
I've heard before that a key hallmark of liberalism throughout history is exceptions to its own tenants while continuing to claim the moral high ground.
Seems to fit here quite nicely.
Because he is the poster child of conserving the Reagan-enshittified status quo, and the US administration is attempting to continue keeping a leg up on the cold war it desperately wants to continue.
Peak design was late 90s and 2000s, where you got to see the new crazy designs of a new era while 80s design still existed all around you prevalently. That fusion is peak nostalgia for me.
Every human likely has microplastics in their bodies.
I'm sure this will go over fine. Totally not gonna see any adverse effects.
We've had "hidden" planets multiple times actually. In one case, we discovered Neptune by observing that Uranus' orbit was wonky, and this really Bolstered peoples' trust of Newton's gravitational theory.
The existence of another planet even closer to the sun than Mercury, Vulcan, was also hypothesized by the same astronomer who predicted Neptune's existence. This was due to Mercury also having a wonky orbit. After Einstein's general relativity came about though, it was found that no new planet was necessary to explain Mercury's orbit.
I think this new planet is the one predicted by Cal Tech "Planet Nine", is supposedly 10 Earths in size, orbits on average 20 times further out than Neptune, and has a very oblong orbit out in deep space.
As another 'fun' tangent, there is some debate every now and again that dark matter may demonstrate that Einstein's Theory of Relativity is also flawed and that we're in need of a new theory. Currently, though, there has not been a sufficient new theory to take its place, so the existence of 'unseen' matter still is the strongest explanation we have. I put 'fun' in quotes because it seems like this debate is starting to affect astronomers and physicists the same way that 'The Orangutan" affects Edgar Allen Poe experts. Video related
Wait, how's it got a keyboard? What are all the modifications here? This is nuts.
I know that the chans were used for orchestrating some of the various harrassment campaigns that have happened throughout the years, including most of the gamergate BS. They're such chaotic spaces I can't imagine trying to pull off any prolonged actions on them, and the automatic pseudonymity really brings out the seediest people possible.
Bring back the assault-and-battery-case laptop!
I'll take it one step further: currency was a bad idea that turned resource allocation into a number-go-up game.
