I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.

Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.

Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.

Only in the sense that taking an ocean cruise makes you a sailor. She’s not an astronaut, she’s a tourist.

1. grow a beard
2. fix the cowlick in the front
3. show the sides, you coward, it might be a competent fade cut you’re just not showing it from the right angle

Turns out giving him free reign with something that actually has a bigger impact than his own companies had consequences he doesn’t like.

Her.

edit: Ah, I see you’ve already been called out for this. Admittedly that’s why I tend to default to ‘they’ on the interwebs.

I mean… it wasn’t.

Communism means all things held in common. Theft wouldn’t be a thing because everyone owns all property together. Ownership is meaningless.

Every one of those societies only paid lip service to communism - partly because it only works when everyone in the commune knows everyone else and holds each other responsible. It doesn’t work at scale. What those societies really were was “The state owns everything and if you complain about it you get disappeared.”

Nah, dissidents are just going to get disappeared to El Salvador. That way they can still be used for slave labor!

I like how they respond to the first part of the sentence (they’ve read texts) and act like that is the entirety of the critique, despite including the second part in their quote.

Honestly, it’s old tech. There were guide-by-wire missiles for a long time before this.

Violence is only justifiable when it’s used against people I don’t like, not people YOU don’t like.

75 years later, lesbians still dress this way…

Well, as it turns out, America’s status as an economic juggernaut has always been dependent on keeping our occupied territory as shitholes that are terrible for the people who live there, so we can exploit their labor and resources. We learned well from the British Empire. The shitholeness is just being turned against a larger swath of our population now.

Oh no!

Anyways…

Well you see, there’s a simple explanation for this. When we do it, it’s good, and when you do it, it’s bad.

Everyone except for the people who get sent to El Salvador…

It’s possible to have a poor opinion of the Chinese government without having a bigoted opinion about the Chinese people.

Yup! Totally plausible - just more expensive and less repeatable. And harder to use against moving targets.

Although you are correct, this destroys the engine.

A good, efficient fusion engine just needs to point the exhaust end towards the enemy and the hyper-accelerated particles will punch a hole through the target for you. And then you point at the next target, etc. etc.

Also, it’s a butchered quote from Larry Niven’s Known Space books, referred to as the “Kzinti Lesson” - because the Kzinti thought humanity was unarmed and helpless until they discovered that humans are really good at improvising weapons.

Even if they do know, they almost certainly are buying into the ‘he’s a criminal and deserves to be deported’ bit.
