Zorque,

Talk to the bartender. If they're fine with it, she has no leg to stand on. If they take issue... well, you have your answer.

Zorque,

But what kind of content? It seems like the kind of content that a facebook backed community would bring is the same kind of content that gets mocked endlessly by those on the fediverse.

Why would we celebrate more of it?

Zorque,

Whats your metric for quality? Hard to agree or disagree with such a poorly defined opinion.

Zorque,

Hard to argue with fanatics, I agree.

Zorque,

We got a Clerks 3 and Jay and Silent Bob 2, so why not?

Hopefully it doesn't tear Scott Mosier's soul apart like the first one, though.

Zorque,

In some books, I'm thinking of Dresden Files, I think it has less to do with the faith of the vampire and more to do with the faith of the person using the symbol. With Dresden, he uses a silver pentacle that his mother gave him and it has the same effect.

Zorque,

Algebra existed long before Isaac Newton.

Zorque,

NO CHICKS OR DICKS, ONLY TRIX

Zorque,

Whenever it rains they start speaking in Latin.

Zorque,

Then it's not a comic, it's just the word "minimum" written in calligraphy.

Zorque,

That's true of most comics, really. Most of them could have been books. Or lines in a joke book. Transitioning to a visual medium is simply one method of telling jokes. You don't have to do anything any specific way at all.

Zorque,

(Remember, when magic is well explained and documented, and people get used to it, they tend to call it technology.)

Depends on the kind of magic. Magic machines that do wondrous things? Sure, technology. Magic where you manipulate energies with the power of thought and will alone? I'ma stick with magic, thank you.

Zorque,

🎶Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun, come right now, don't walk, run!🎶

Zorque,

I mean, for all we know there's ads all over the place in different languages than english and different designs than we're used to.

We know there's other ads cause of Sluggo Cola: The slimiest cola in the galaxy.

Zorque,

Fix your own side of the bed first, then you can start complaining.

Thats the problem with both sides, though, isn't it? Its always the other sides fault. And "our" side shouldn't need to fix anything until "your" side fixes their problem.

Its an easy way to sit on your ass and do nothing, because clearly the "other side" is worse.

Zorque,

"Faux pa" literally talking to his own daughter.

Zorque,

Bruce Maddox, is that you?

Zorque,

But he's still a real life form, even if he wasn't created in the traditional human way.

Zorque,

Oh man, you're totally missing out, they're awesome!

Zorque,

The Afghanistan pullout was planned during the Trump admin, mind you, Biden basically just didn't back out of it. Not saying it wasn't a good thing, but using it as a comparison against the administration that planned it is a bit disingenuous.

And the comparison of drone strikes under Obama is as much a Trumpism as "Genocide Joe", so using it as a defense against using Trumpisms is also disingenuous.

Not saying Biden isn't a far sight better than Trump or anything else coming from the conservative camps, but he's no less of a warhawk at this point.

Zorque,

It's not that he's much less of a warhawk, he's no less of a warhawk.

Yes, the nickname is dumb, but that's mostly because it's a Trumpism, not that it doesn't have a tinge of accuracy to it.

Zorque,

There is still an issue of human bias, though. A thought is not accepted unless it's widely accepted. Even much of our established science was once a pipe dream, even with reproducible proof, until it was accepted on a wider scale.

It's not as simple as just providing proof and letting people accept it, you have to appeal to them. Which is exactly what politicians do.

Zorque,

It's more like telling someone "Why don't you just build your own house?"

Zorque,

Scarcity isn't a supply issue, it's a utilization issue. They way most economies work, resources are not created if they can't provide maximum financial return.

The first step to a post-scarcity world is changing that mindset.

Zorque,

The things most worth doing are rarely the easiest.

If you actually want to accomplish something sometimes you have to tackle difficult problems.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Zorque,

He doesn't live in the federation until the last episode, though. He lives on a Bajoran space station administrated by Starfleet.

Zorque,

Pretty sure they meant the other description you gave.

Zorque,

It won't be the birth of a third party, it'll be the year the House decides who gets to be president. That's what happens when no one gets enough electoral votes.

Zorque,

"Both sides" as a definition, before you ever make comparisons, is already a diminutive of reality. The idea that there are only ever two viewpoints, despite the reality of the current American political situation, is naive at best. Even within the two major US parties there are fractious and conflicting personalities.

The "both sides" argument isn't asinine because it equates the two major players, its asinine because it accepts their premise that they're the only ones that matter.

Zorque,

Did you see Baldur's Gate and just decide to be angry? It mentions that RPGS in general are topping the most played list.

Zorque,

"I posted a dumb meme and people made fun of me for it, wah wah wah"

Zorque,

Why quote yourself as a response?

You seem to be taking this all very seriously for someone bitching about people taking things too seriously.

Zorque,

He's got a giant mug for beetle snuff.

Zorque,

🎶A great big beautiful tomorrow...🎶

Zorque,

... what do you think imagination is? A gift from God? The probabilities are probably more chaotic, and the data set more biased... but they're the basic foundation of human imagination.

Machine based "creativity" is nascent, and far less unique... but that doesn't mean it isn't a form of creativity.

Zorque,

The same could be said of a lot of creatives. You speak of greater creativity, that which evokes depth and gravity. There is still more shallow creativity. Learning creativity. That which you do before you learn to do better. Kind of what these are doing.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, though the people who hold the reigns definitely don't have the best intentions for their use, but underestimating it is the first step to allowing them to run rampant.

"Never attribute to malice that which you can attribute to stupidity" is the slogan of those who do nothing but look down on others... who underestimate the horrible things the "stupid" can do. Don't assume stupidity just because you don't like something. It makes it that much easier for it to bite you on the ass in the future.

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

Zorque,

A button down shirt and jeans, according to Justin Long.

Zorque,

I'd say make it Worf and a Mek'leth, maybe throw mirror Bareil in the background

Zorque,

Let's be fair, some of them just like fascism.

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

Zorque,

Your two links seem to be sending mixed messages.

Zorque,

Thing is, it's usually earlier, around 7:30am when I was in school, earlier if you wanted the breakfast they had.

Zorque,

You should try filling it to the rim with Brim instead.

Zorque,

Ah yes, the origin of slash fiction...

Poilievre opens up 15 point lead over Trudeau on preferred Prime Minister tracking (Nanos) (nanos.co)

Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.
