I sometimes imagine a wonderful dystopia where someone posts something like this and then gets raided by the fbi and locked up for life or some shit and then I think… Is that really that far from reality?

I mean, that’s besides the point. Most people go to porn hub for less mathsy videos. Plus, it’s extra money for just putting the already made video there

This was why I loved TLOU 2. It blends both things perfectly. The gameplay was amazing. I look forward to the next fight to test shit out… But also, I really want to see what happens in the story.

I feel like the matrix 2 is similar to jurassic park 2. Very clearly inferior, but enjoyable enough to not be a complete waste of time.

I’m saying that, I’ll say that JP 2 is better than matrix 2. I’ll happily watch JP 2 again, probably with my kids at some point, but if not then on my own… But I would be happy whether I see matrix 2 again or not.

I was going to say, this became a challenging adult word find

Yeah… I think we got lumped in with worse.

Unless you just mean Australia in general.

removing individual freedom is never good

I generally agree that prohibition doesn’t work, and is bad, but having an absolutist position like this is usually problematic. For example we have to restrict some people’s freedoms. Like some people want to harm or kill others, that should not be a freedom people have.

Most things in life have a lot of nuance, which means we can’t usually make blanket rule for things.

In saying all that… Prohibition usually doesn’t solve the issue, sometimes makes it worse, and often ends up hurting people who are already suffering (usually why they resort to harmful substances)

I’m pretty sure that a lot of the horrible shit that comes out of conservatives is their response to their anxieties.

It’s kind of like fight or flight. Although most people turn it inwards and recluse, some people become aggressive and turn it outwards in reaction to it.

Cause there’s fuck all sun in Britain

Yeah sorry, meant family guy. Added a quote to hopefully clarify in future

Probes can do almost anything crew can do, and many things that crew cannot.

This take is a little ignorant. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Humans on mars could do almost all of the research that decades of landers and rovers have done in days. They’re also able to make more on the fly decision and pivot in research strategy, technique, and tools used.

The only thing human space flight seems to do is help us get better at human space flight.

In regards to this, a lot of technological advances that were founded or improved for the space programme have been highly beneficial it at least useful, on earth.

To add to all this, I don’t know the figures for modern day nasa research and programmes, but the apollo programme is estimated to have returned $13 to the US for every $1 spent on it.

family guy joked about her writing-anti-trans years before she went full terf.

When you add in the fact that they were referencing rapey winestein years before the me too revelations, that’s twice they’ve been subtly speaking truth to power before it became common knowledge.

Edit - Added quote for clarity

I feel like the sample size is too low though. I wouldn’t argue that it’s more safe… But a lot of the deaths in space travel were in the early days when we were still figuring shit out and had less sophisticated technology for things like automatic abort systems etc.

Don’t forget the last one in Qatar

Yeah, I couldn’t nail it on the head but by the time I got to the more free play open world part I was just like “I don’t really know what I want to do… And I don’t care”

Might have been that, at that time, I’d burnt out on open works sandboxy games

I had this exact same experience. The idea if RDR didn’t dry much for me b so I ignored it. One day I saw “gold edition”, or whatever the one with all the DLC and expansions included, for like $15. Thought “why not”.

Took a while to play it, but when I did I was hooked. Even the, at first, seemingly ham fisted undead expansion was really fun.

RDR2 I got at launch, played it almost immediately, but never really got more than half a dozen hours in before realising I was just going through the motions

Pointing out that there is a strong overlap in the two groups does not exclude understanding that there are plenty of people in just one of the groups

Most relatable celebrity moment

I thought they said controversial?

He got immediately dumped into the ocean IIRC
