The Lego company, since around 1980. It’s been the official name since their creation.

There’s nothing to remember here, the dude just didn’t know what they were called as a kid. They’ve been minifigs since their creation in the late 70s.

Yeah, this one definitely deserves to be unpopular. They’ve always been minifigs, they’ll always be minifigs, you don’t mess with perfection.

Don’t worry, you still haven’t. It’s still a blatantly nonsensical premise. Humans aren’t just spontaneous power generators, we turn food into energy. If the machines can grow food to feed humans, they could just burn the plant material directly, increasing efficiency tenfold and eliminating all need for a wasteful energy sink like running a massive virtual reality.

So y’know, I’m more worried about a Terminator future.

She’s doing exactly the same thing the dude you just accused of oppression is doing.

The main difference is that she has billions of dollars to promote her perspective, and millions of followers that listen to what she has to say. The dude “oppressing” her in this situation is just some random nobody on a site that might as well not even exist for all the cultural power it wields.

You had a pretty reasonable argument on the first post, but this took a hard turn into bullshit real quick.

The majority of the current ‘democrat’ party in the US are Neoliberals. Yeah it’s a right wing ideology, that’s the whole point of recognizing that even the ‘left wing’ here are still primarily conservatives.

If there’s a decent dribble there I’ll grab a paper towel or napkin and clean it off first, but I usually don’t worry about it. Wiping it off with a finger is disgusting though IMO. Her finger has about a thousand times more nasty stuff than anything in the sauce bottle, that’s a great way to contaminate an entire container.

Are you seriously complaining about requiring a signature? Why should weed paraphernalia be treated any differently to tobacco?

I think if someone looks good in photos but not on video, they probably just have a skilled photographer.

So who are you voting for then? You continue to avoid the real question.

‘Not supporting a genocide’ is not a candidate running for election.

Nobody here wants to support genocide. It’s not brave statement, it’s fucking common sense. But the options are ‘a guy who’s weakly attempting to deescalate things’ and ‘hurry up and finish your genocide already’. If you truly don’t want to support genocide, there’s a clear pick.

How do you have so much time to spend on this website trying to convince people not to vote? How does someone so passionately stand for absolutely nothing? I’ve seen these same posts from you over and over and over again, yet you never actually have anything to say besides ‘both sides bad, don’t vote.’

If you have a better option, I’d love to hear it. But if not, maybe shut the fuck up and quit turfing for Trump.

They completely cut off their society from the rest of the world, it’s not like any African gets a pass in, they don’t allow anyone that isn’t Wakandan. It was like, a pretty significant plot point.

“Attachment” is not the same as connection. The concept the Jedi are talking about is the Buddhist idea of attachment. It’s possessiveness, codependency, fear of loss. One cannot be fully connected to anything they’re attached to.

You’ve been misled by the Sith propaganda my friend.

I get ‘useful’ stuff from AI all the time. Nothing major, but little timesavers, unique character art for a DnD game, language and grammar suggestions when I’m writing short stories with my wife. That kinda thing.

Crypto offers me nothing. I have absolutely no use case for an average person’s life. I’m sure there are businesses that can utilize crypto to some benefit, but frankly I couldn’t care less about their ability to hide money and evade taxes.

Except you’re both fundamentally wrong about how data center cooling works. It’s not closed loop water cooling, they use evaporative cooling by misting the cooling air. There’s no ‘great distraction’ here, just some attention to one of very many problems with how we run large data centers.

That’s literally the entire point of making the distinction between throwing away bottles with the cap and without. What did you think this was about?

Feel free to try it out yourself, but people bring this up for a reason. You are wildly underestimating the strength of thin plastics.

Technically true, but kinda pointless to bring up here. It’s a thin layer that’s vaporized during recycling. Not exactly comparable to a plastic bottle containing tens of thousands of times more plastic that’s probably gonna sit in a landfill shedding plastic bits for the next 100,000 years.

A bottle full of air rolls when stepped on, with no cap they just squish flat.
