yeah, the intentional extirpation of a species is pretty heinous, but i mean… look at what the Dutch were doing that century. or what was happening at plantations and mines around the world. hell, compared to what’s happening at mines and plantations and factories around the world today.

makes you realize it’s not really worth comparing evils beyond a certain point. it’ll only serve to make you feel bad and maybe hurt someone’s feelings for no reason.

hmmm, as a percentage of the population and when considering frequency? probably black people. in plain numbers, probably the racists.

obviously a news show isn’t going to feel the same rewatching it. that’s not the point lol.

that would be like saying it’s dumb to preserve newspapers in libraries because it’s not going to feel as good rereading the “Hitler is dead” headline. people don’t look at old news to have a good time.

boy was it silly of us to preserve that kind of thing and it totally never comes in handy/s

that’s not even what people are upset about anyway. comedy Central mostly makes entertainment programming that isn’t news based and can still be enjoyed whenever. believe it or not, comedy Central has a lot of content that will stand the test of time. especially when looking at their stand-up catalogue.

this is the destruction of a library. a digital one, but a library none the less. that’s what people are mad about.

but you’re right. we should just dump all of our old movies and shows. they’re worthless moldy junk anyway… 🙄

why?

yeah what the fuck, how could that possibly ever be safe for anyone or anything.

i was generally under the impression that it was illegal to intentionally hit anything with your vehicle without consent. i just never checked because I’ve never wanted to hit something with my car.

it bears a striking resemblance to the story behind Africanized honey bees.

the risk is the same as any other international transport and release of a non native species; invasive species that damage the ecosystem. that these are creatures that don’t exist anywhere and don’t have a native habitat just makes them that much harder to predict. this was all clearly done without any thoughts about the repercussions or how to avoid them.

God damnit. if you understand anything about our global weather observation network you know that if America privatizes the entire world will have way way less accurate weather no matter what anyone pays.

the only reason things work so well now is because the whole world openly and freely shares all of this data. this is important because all of the world’s weather patterns effect each other. there’s only so much data that can be collected without being in the territory as well. so much of the world’d infrastructure relies on this information being available and accurate. privatizing it would surely be massively profitable and horribly detrimental to everyone and everything. it’s one of the very few actually decent cooporative things humanity has ever done. of course rich bullies want to come and stomp it out.

yeah, when you look close enough it’s amazing how often that that answer is the only one, and how blatantly they do it.

they say democracy dies in the dark, but if like 10% more people actually watched cspan when major votes take place i don’t think we’d keep many Republican politicians. it’s an amazingly one sided effort to obstruct every single Democratic policy no matter what it is. they threw the toy over the fence, sat down, and started screaming and shitting like 10 years ago and nothing positive has gotten done since. they are literally the party of intentionally breaking the government.

there’s no way that many Americans actually want that…

nah, anything is more correct here. it’s like and/or vs neither/nor. “i do understand everything” is the grammatical opposite of “i don’t understand anything”. “i don’t understand everything” is a different sentence entirely. it would only imply that there are aspects of “everything” they don’t understand, rather than that there is nothing they understand.

we still have a couple of lemon giving phrases that survive “when life gives you lemons”. “looks like that car you bought is a lemon”

lemons are sour instead of sweet like most fruit. my guess is that a lemon is a thing to generally make your day/life worse, especially if it seemed like a good thing at first.

makes sense in the context of a “confirmed bachelor”. he’s giving that lemon to a stork. he’s not going to have children. someone married him and he’s not going to have children. back in the day that would be seen as defeating the point of marriage, though the real implication is he’s gay and married for a beard.

in the context of other relationships or a breakup they thought they were dating someone for keeps, turns out they weren’t worth it. they were a lemon, looked sweet but tasted sour when bitten into.

haha, i did take 4 pictures until i was thought that the show would be recognizable 😅

but that’s just me getting a popular new show to boost my cat. she’s the star that i game the algorithm for 🌟

holy shit, i forgot that was Colin Farrell! i’m a big fan of him in mcdonagh movies.

i was only kind of into the new Batman with the riddler, but the vibe feels right for it to be more of a mob story instead.

love the cinematography. I’m a videographer myself and happen to own and love one of the old lenses they use a lot on this show.

one episode isn’t enough to make any judgements, but I can say that I’m looking forward to the next episode.

all of the “real” Martial arts from back before guns were about using weapons. those aren’t really practiced as much anymore because they’re all useless in the face of firearms anyway. why spend years training with a knife when the same time could be spent training with a gun. if combat effectiveness is your goal then you need to learn modern combat techniques.

that said, there’s plenty to be learned from it, and it’s not like it can’t help you in a fight. but as another commenter said, the real way to win every fight is by avoiding them. so really the best thing to learn is de-escalation and recognizing danger.

generally, when one has a large dildo collection, very few are self purchased.

regardless of gender, those who enjoy dildos are likely to draw thirsty motherfuckers. those thirsty folk tend to buy them many dildos.

their point is that this is a game with maybe 50 still image assets and absurdly simply gameplay. it could be like 2MB, but it was likely built on preexisting assets and code that don’t try to be lightweight.

the point is that 10 years ago the exact same game would have been like 25MB at most. I’m not familiar enough with the changes in the tools used by Indy devs in the time, but my guess is that it’s where you’ll find the reason.

it’s not that men disagree with you that they hold power, people just disagree that any religion would be helpful regardless of who led it.

it’s like bread. if you only ever saw white bread on sandwiches you might be confused to hear about someone loving a good sourdough or rye from the bakery.

absolutely not lol.

ooh yeah, a good tooltip on mouseover would be perfect.

there is quite a bit of granularity to the options these days if you haven’t tried it in a bit. I was able to make it work more or less exactly how i wanted.

yeah, I’ve got it set to off by default. i used it almost like a spoiler tag. click the button to see the answer to “THIS AMAZING DEVICE DOES WHAT???”
