I hate when people say “people are not ready for this conversation”, it just shows they are completely uninterested in any actual discussion about the matter. If anyone responds with any criticism, even if it’s very reasonable, they’ll just say “told you people weren’t ready for it lol”.

A high effort shitpost? That’s a rare gem that is.

And yet when Netflix was good the amount of people who pirated went down a ton. I was on that train. Just give me a service that isn’t outrageously expensive, has most of the content i want, and is more convenient than pirating and I’ll do it, as long as i have an income.

Ooh a double reference, fancy!

I can imagine it might be a tad difficult to produce processors on a nanometer scale if the entire building is shaking violently.

Presumably

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

It’s not a threat, it’s an admission of guilt.

I asked her about it, and she said that she won’t hijack the community from the existing team, but she’d be willing to point people to a community made alternative if it spins up. Not necessarily the decision i would have made, but i understand and respect it.

Then you should communicate that better. “aren’t these just autistic people with aspergers” makes it seem like you think everyone with aspergers is like this.

I have a friend with Aspergers who would be quite offended by that comment. These people are just idiots, don’t blame it on a diagnosis.

This is how it showed up on my feed, perfect post for that to happen to

The whole point of doing it this way is that it doesn’t need to be maintained. Once it’s full you just fill the tunnels up (probably with dirt and/or rock) and close them off and you’re good, it’ll sit there for those 100,000 years.

Iirc, the problem with desalination is that it doesn’t actually produce salt, just a very salty water slurry. So for them to produce usable salt they’d have to dry it out or something. Not that that sounds like it would be particularly difficult, but it’s an extra step.

I feel like 80% of men weigh above that lol

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

That’s a fair point, i can absolutely see Gandalf the Grey justifying with something like “there is more evil in this world than just Sauron”.

Damn, that camera must have a fast shutter speed then

Gandalf wouldn’t even still be there, since he was only there to aid in the fight against Sauron. He’d have gone off to Valinor shortly after Sauron’s defeat, together with the rest of the elves. And there’d be no Aragorn to be a good pal and extend the good lifespans of the realms of Men, so Gondor would never get a new king and the realms of Men would likely fall to evil a bit into the third age.
