Pretty much the same energy when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that there were no homosexuals in Iran and was laughed at promptly after.

The majority of what we know as Christmas traditions predated Christianity. The Church just slapped Jesus onto it just like capitalism slapped mercantilism onto it later on.

Weird. I promptly tried Fedora and switched to Tumbleweed after Fedora kept crashing soon after startup. Hardware configuration probably affects the outcome a lot.

No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.

5. Don’t give access to a firearm to the ones who don’t know or respect the above.

Oh look, the well-known con artist that you voted for in hopes that he would not con you has conned you! What a surprise!

Now we’re all stuck with this scumbag. I hope you’re all happy.

The very existence of these trucks is a failure in regulation

I bet the CEO played Monopoly too. Ironic, isn’t it?

I want an accessory that clamps a hand grenade on the fiber optic cable that the drone is trailing and slides down the cable to explode next to the operator.

This kind of reaction friends entirely on how respectful our disrespectful the other person was in correcting you. For me, anyway.

Trying to hype up investors, yes! It’s exactly why we keep seeing features that nobody wants in goods and services nowadays.

Capitalism is supposed to maximize efficiency and do everything it can to make the consumers happy. But we have reached a point where the “meta” isn’t that anymore. It really never was, really. But with corporations becoming so big they dominate world markets, it has become complety shameless about it.

That explains why Doom 3’s shading looked so bad

“The people in our industry are mission-driven professionals working to make coverage and care as affordable as possible"

That $358 Billion profit they’ve registered in 2023 says a lot about how much all those “efficiency” savings are being passed to their customers.

Because of its geographical location, the city of Toronto normally enjoys a particularly mild climate.

In 1999, it declared a state of emergency and called the military to help clearing the snow after a pityful 40 cm snowfall.

The city was widely mocked by the rest of the country for such an overreaction over what everyone else saw as just an average snow day.

This reminds me of that quote from Mass Effect:

“This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class Dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means: Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space! (…) I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty! Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going 'till it hits something! That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone’s day, somewhere and sometime!”

In Stargate SG1 they do that to destroy and invading alien ship approaching Earth.

That’s something I don’t get. The amount of work and change required to make Mars livable for humans is insane and we still don’t even know if it is possible. The amount of change required to fix our planet’s climate is minuscule in comparison. They want to terraform a planet that is completely hostile to human life and yet we can’t even get our own planet’s average temperature down by 1 degree.

If only he remembered that he used to care about climate change. Or at least pretended to.

They wanted cluster bombs banned because they sometimes had the same effect unintentionally. Now they’re doing it on purpose.
