I fucking love how nerdy this place is
Somewhere between “I want to play sci-fi video games all day,” “I want to invent everything ever,” and “I want to go on a 6-month backpacking trip in the wilderness.”
I fucking love how nerdy this place is
Watch him as he codes
Not to be “that guy” on top of you being “that guy,” but it’s not unheard of to completely redirect a dammed river with a chute spillway. I’m gonna pretend the spillway exits that mountain to the right of what we can see lol
Me if I were in my 20s in 1994 Hey wait is that that spastic drummer from Nirvana? What, thinks he can pull off being a front man? Psh…
Thanks Dave Grohl for being like, the chillest rock star ever.
For sure, there’s no community as large and passionate as religion. BUT there are other communities that are centered around goodwill to others, living a better life…some of them even have chanting, if you feel like you’d be missing that part lol.
Those communities usually involve doing work though (volunteering, performing, teaching, etc.) while you can just show up to church and kinda pay attention, and you’re in.
I feel like, at their core, most religions boil down to two things, for most people:
Personally, I prefer to define my own purpose, live a more “dynamic” lifestyle than is traditional, think critically, and question authority. Doesn’t make me “better” than religious folks, in fact they’re probably overall happier than I am. But I can’t imagine living that way, regardless of whether or not I believe in a magical sky Santa who can’t decide whether he loves us unconditionally or whether or not he’s actually omnipotent.
IIRC, the “Hot” thing is a known bug in Lemmy that can be temporarily fixed by restarting the instance. Also IIRC, the admin restarted sh.itjust.works like a week ago, and “Hot” was working immediately after that, for at least a few days.
I’m still using mostly “Top 6 Hours” until the sorting algo for “Hot” and “Active” is improved.
In the Star Trek universe, if you’re intent on “glassing” a planet, it’s in one of two scenarios:
In the latter case, you could put the effort into adding a cloaking device to the weapon to get around that. But in that case, why not just use a regular cloaked ship to delivery some other payload? There are tons of examples in TNG of narrowly-averted planet-killing disasters only prevented by careful engineering. Probably way easier to actually cause the disaster. Examples include igniting the atmosphere, causing geographic instability/earthquakes/volcanic reactions, exploding the system’s star, crashing a natural moon into the planet, unleashing a biological weapon…
God, there’s a joke in there about 404 (famous drum sequencer, often referenced for its kick sample), but I just can’t find it

Funny that so many of us resonate with “nerdy emotionally-distant lawyer dad” lol
Late to the party, but Mass Effect, Dead Space, and the Arkham trilogy are all extremely solid choices haha.
