Kidnapping professors just to debate them, the ultimate debatebro

It’s not a common element. And because it floats, it’s quickly lost to space once released.

We could technically make more with Hydrogen and nuclear fusion, or fissile products, but the price of man-made Helium would probably be about ten million fold more. It has a variety of useful properties that range from expensive to impossible to replace with other gases, namely its thermal properties, its inertness and being lighter-than-air.

Is anybody actually getting hostile about that?

Eat chewy savory protein as much as you please, I ain’t stop you. But my issue is implying these foods are a healthy option when there’s no doubt that most fake meats are heavily processed, full of weird shit, and relatively unhealthy compared to some cooler vegan dishes.

I mean hey, if you really mean it, I would be down to have a go with fun peeps.

Mullvad’s willingness (and encouragement) to not even have a credit card payment on file earns them a lot of trust from me.

It means that, unlike basically every other VPN out there, they’re willing to have literally 0 information about you, and even being surveilled from the VPN server itself wouldn’t be enough to determine your identity.

Voting for the lesser evil is how democracy got here, to this point, where you think you’re voting for a president who supports one genocide instead of two. And even if that were true, you’re implying that’s somehow a moral action.

There is quite literally only one way to try effect a halt to the inevitable but popularly unwanted support of genocides, and that’s to demand an alternative to the two-party dictatorship. By vote, protest and any other means possible.

Quote is too generous. ‘A or B’ is not being master of the country, nor is anyone really favored during canvassing either.

That being said, it shows what an incredibly low bar western democracy doesn’t clear.

Trump fucking sucks, no doubt, but the scaremongering is off the rails. Trump was already president and was basically as ineffectual as any president, with a bit more racism.

Every single election cycle it’s suddenly painted as a life-or-death situation to vote Biden, seemingly just to shut up anyone who actually wants to criticise the system as a whole.

THEN I DO IT WITH YOUR BLESSING. Time to raise another country to Socialist glory and start the global revolution again! Maybe I’ll have a command economy and deliberately crash global grain prices… That’d make 'em all dependent on me…

People in here are really arguing that sure Biden is directly and very actively funding a genocide and moving mountains to make that happen. But Trump would be funding a genocide even harder so vote Biden!!!

What does it fucking take for a lib to realise the system is broken? Because apparently openly and borderline explicitly conspiring to commit genocide is not enough.

I read Grapes of Wrath a few years ago after enjoying Of Mice and Men from school. I’m not bad with reading but I wasn’t sure how far I’d get with the thickness of it, then I finished it real quickly.

But it was a gripping book and is certainly upfront about the problems of capitalism. If your family is that politically illiterate then it may fly under the radar, as Steinbeck doesn’t use explicit capitalism/communism terminology, just more a factual description of what people/systems of people are doing.

That’s always the argument, but there is no such thing as unskilled labor. I’ve seen the variety of weird shit those machines do, and the people.

I like this take

I do really enjoy League of Legends, it’s just the people that make me scared to ever play again. I need a version that exclusively has a nice and loving playerbase that are just playing for fun and not for getting angry at my incompetence.

I still have a spare copy of that game if anyone wants it.

There was a short steam sale back in the day where a four-pack was about two dollars, so I bought enough for every steam friend I had in the hope that somebody would enjoy it enough to give co-op a go (alas :<)

I really enjoyed DK2 and Sid Meier’s Pirates, but I think last time I tried to get either to run on my system they just wouldn’t run. I’d love to give 'em a go again.

I used to play GTASAMP! I had no idea it was still going, that’s cool. I might try dig it out again.

I managed 600 EU4, 150 Victoria 3, 150 EU3, 200 CK2. But then I actually do love 'em.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura remains my favourite game ever. But it is showing its age, it looks much like one of many generic story-based isometric RPGs of its time, and it’s hard to understand what the fuck is going on with the gameplay, but once you learn, you realise it’s just that the mechanics go scarily deep, the story is astounding, multi-layered and genuinely inspiring. The voice acting is silly in bits, but overall very impressive, and same for the soundtrack. I can still just daydream about the infinite possibilities and characters from that setting. It’s just… so much more. I’ve played it through 10+ times.

I might go play it again now. I need to see what interactions happen if you get a high enough Charisma to gather all the voiced followers in one big party.
