The guy on the left, second from the front… Is he wearing mime makeup? I know given his profession he is probably proud to be white, but that looks like a pressing medical condition.

I’m an alpha male. If you study me in captivity I will display downright unnatural behavior.

I’ve always actually liked NASA as a US government agency. Thing is they take the kind of scientist whose skills are intensely useful to the military industrial complex and let them do goofy shit like this that doesn’t hurt anyone instead. Sure, sometimes some of their tech ends up useful to the military anyway and that’s terrible, but to the people who think this is a waste of resources that could have been better spent fixing infrastructure or helping the poor I want to ask:

If we consider labor as a resource, do you think the actual experts in autonamous robotics, rocketry and atmospheric dispersion involved in landing a little box on Venus would be fixing pot holes or running homeless shelters without NASA? I think they would be much more likely to be working on some project to have an army of drones defoliate all of central Asia or something like that. I think it is cool and heartwarming that they successfully landed a little robot on Mars and care so much about it, but also many of these people have skills that are only useful for exactly this and like 25 different crimes against humanity, and letting them do this is not a waste of resources.

Wait, that’s just 2.25 kg of dung per hippo. That sounds like way too little. I’m pretty sure a human being could produce 2.25 kg of dung in a day with the right team spirit and some elbow grease, but you’re telling me these dainty, bashful cowards can’t do better despite weighing so much more? Pathetic.

I’m not even American but I’ve already voted for Joe Biden several times. Just wrote the name down on pieces of paper and mailed them off. Adressed them to Joe Biden too, so that shit counts double. Put some extra stamps on them, and that’s exponential growth in the number of times I voted for him. I’m practically a swing state of my own, the way I’m swinging my massive votes around.

I’m voting Netscape Navigator. Lesser evil.

Look at Estonia and Latvia being on the right side of history! This is not a sentence you get to use very often, so make sure to use it now before they make any other decisions.

Maybe I’m just being contrarian, but I don’t think the water or the beach are very good in this painting. The wheat, greenery, cliffs and clouds are great, but the water and beach are kind of monotonous blobs that frankly aren’t that great in this painting.

If you take anything away from this post, let it be that Claude Monet had no idea how to paint water and I dare anyone to prove me wrong! That should be a reasonable idea to defend.

“Losses” does not mean deaths. Losses includes wounded, even those that will fully recover fairly quickly, right? If you blow out someone’s eardrums for example, they are “lost” as a soldier on the battlefield, because they are no longer available to the enemy.

And the phrase “up to” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, especially when it comes to troop numbers. That means the absolute maximum possible by their account. Like if they hit a building with artillery and their estimate is that there were 30-50 Ukrainian troops there that will count as up to 50 lost troops, despite the fact that they know very well that they probably did not wound/kill everyone in the building.

The real number of dead will be significantly lower. The number of wounded/sick/deserters will be high, but it is anyone’s guess exactly how high.

Won’t the boulder roll back to the intersection anyway?

What an awful person. Just like Laddy Mr. Lennon and Moo The Dong. He was from the European Union you know. That’s why he acted like that and killed all those people. They cannot help themselves.

I did some math real quick and in order to make this fair you would have to sentence the CEO to 450 million years in prison. Or the homeless guy to below 1 second in prison. Or if you want to be a centrist about it lock them both up for 225 million years.

Ok, that’s a new one. Calling you a fascist for saying Lenin was a Marxist…

I can usually take these liberal takes in stride, but this is like they invented some new kind of weapon. I feel this weird itch to engage with them somehow, and that’s not healthy.

Me too! What’s your destination?

So let’s just ask Mr. Putin what he would do in a desperate situation and then do exactly that. The solution is both clever and for some reason incredibly clever.

I’m not really up to date on the modern movies, but didn’t they spend several movies exploring who bad milk blood robot is? This synopsis really nailed the big unanswered question.

I am a bit bothered by how the modern borders of Croatia seem like they are designed just to prevent Bosnia and Hercegovina from having a coast. I get that you can have a thin country, but they are really pushing it. Give them one beach!

I can’t be too hard on him. In hindsight I guess it’s easy to say he shouldn’t have died in prison, but I’m sure he had his reasons.

Have these cowards never heard of ramming?

He looks like he discovered that his girlfriend was actually just a pile of lit dynamite sticks assembled into the rough shape of a woman.
