dudinax,

And if the two highest paid public servants in your state are the University football coach and the State football coach, what sort of government is it?

dudinax,

Imagine how much cooler you’d be if the game were newer.

dudinax,

My kid could beat everyone at smash bros in high school. My friend’s kid was number two in the state. My kid couldn’t touch him.

My friend’s kid could not touch the number one kid in the state and that kid wasn’t good enough to go pro.

dudinax,

No, the “Single Time Line” bit is a basic feature of T1, part of what makes it great, that T2 simply throws away.

If Democrats knew anything about politics they’d be dominating the Federal Government every year, just like they did for 40 years last century.

dudinax,

What is nuclear brinksmanship?

dudinax,

I miss saying pop

dudinax,

They didn’t do shit except get conned.

dudinax,

Then there’s science and the law. Both are partially resistant to these problems

dudinax,

Here’s to feeling good all the time.

Who's winning the war in Ukraine?

The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large...

dudinax,

The West would like Ukraine to win, but it’s more important to the West that the war drag on and be a drain on Russia’s resources.

dudinax,

They have quite a lot to gain by it. Getting the other side stuck in a quagmire has been the preferred strategy for both sides in US vs. Russia for decades.

dudinax,

What the West gains is a diminished Russia less inclined to adventure. That’s a big gain.

The most important goal in this situation for the West is to avoid war with Russia. Since Russia has the resources to wage the war for a long time as long as the West doesn’t join it, then whether Ukraine wins is purely a Russian decision.

dudinax,

That’s why the bad men win.

dudinax,

I bet if you genetically engineered a croc, some other croc genes would fix the change.

Sorry, but gen Xers weren’t allowed to express genuine feelings for siblings.

There’s a really long tail on the distribution of intelligence. The smartest people in the world are to intellect what pro athletes are to physical ability.

You think Lionel Messi wasn’t already super good at futbol at a young age?

dudinax,

He’s the guy who said he wasn’t sure whether he was a man dreaming he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was a man.

It’s said that when his wife died his friend found him drumming and singing. When asked why he was behaving inappropriately, he said. “if I weren’t singing I would cry, and then I would have forgotten that all things are constantly transitioning into something else.”

There’s also a certain amount of philosophical one-up-manship.

dudinax,

I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.

One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.

dudinax,

I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.

I might have felt the punchline of this comic more than any other, and I've been reading Dinosaur Comics for MANY years now (lemmy.world)

Alt text (which is actually, and always has been, the title text but we all just call it the alt text: “wipe questions about old star trek episodes from MY mind and there simply wouldn’t be anything left, and i would be as blank as Uhura was when her memory was wiped by Nomad, the space probe created by the collision of an...

You don’t need to upload anything. An exact copy would already be conscious.

dudinax,

Does meditation help at all?

For non-OCD folk, it really helps keep the brain from running around in circles. It can de-rail the temporary insanity train.

dudinax,

It’s awww

dudinax,

This is the shittiest click bait headline of the day.

dudinax,

Downvoted for not knowing what double blind means.

Researchers wouldn’t find out until after they question the subjects.

I was downgrading from Debian Sid to Bookworm. Boot failed. Ran the live cd in rescue mode. I’d uninstalled the kernel. Took only a couple of minutes to fix.

dudinax,

How many close calls with a shark have you had? Like one, maybe? You should be thanking this mama.

Mom: I told you 20 minutes a go to get down here. You: It’s the same match. Mom: The matches have a time limit of 5 minutes.

The "Bad Way" Wrath Of Khan Changed Star Trek Movies, Says First Contact Writer (screenrant.com)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, Star Trek movie of all, but Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact co-writer Ronald D. Moore also points out the "bad way" Star Trek II impacted the movie franchise. Ricardo Montalbán played the titular, genetically engineered villain,...

dudinax,

That’s Paramount’s fault, not Star Trek II’s fault.

Also, IV defies the premise of the article and was a hit.

In a better world, content would cost the same to all streaming services, all content would be available everywhere, and competition between services would be based on price and quality of service. You’d subscribe to one and get everything.

dudinax,

Or in the worst case, all life on Earth won’t be ok.

dudinax,

If we manage to keep the warming to levels seen in previous warming periods, humanity might come out better on average in the long run, but the planet is heating faster than it did in those other periods and we haven’t demonstrated any ability to control ourselves. We’d have to stop generating CO2 pretty soon to avoid surpassing the last great warming period.

dudinax,

Or, if instead of reducing emissions, we try to geo-engineer our way out of global warming, screw it up, and create a real snowball Earth.

dudinax,

You’re making an assumption that the feedback loops are all well understood. They might be, or maybe there will be some runaway effect, some source of carbon or other greenhouse gas that’s completely unknown, gets released, and boils the oceans.

dudinax,

Warming is bad, so cooling has to be good. Is that your logic?

dudinax,

Dude needed an algebra lesson or something. He’ll write three pages trying to explain an idea that could be expressed in two simple equations.

dudinax,

And was meant to be taken literally.

Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs

I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects...

dudinax,

It used to be we let animals roam around and killed the ones that behaved horribly. It’s not a bad system.

dudinax,

A dog living 10 years ruining around outside has a much better life than a dog living 20 years trapped inside.

Michiganders are like, “they sorta heard of me!” 😍

Squeezing doesn’t surpass the quantum limit, it just shoves the quantum noise into a form LIGO doesn’t care about.

Right now my kids go to school in the pitch dark almost the whole school year.
