We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the world’s been turning.

While there’s some outliers especially thanks to power hammers, a dedicated blacksmith looks a lot closer to a strongman competitor than mr universe.

The average living room is pretty different than a tropical reef.

While these fish would be easy to catch at that time, they will taste like shit. Once they’ve spent some time eating something other than pellet food they taste a lot better.

Leaving leaves also kills the grass under them.

We don’t add that level of scrutiny to coal ash which there is much more of and equally dangerous forever. Nuclear is the the only power source expected to address 100% of problems at any point in the future before it can even start construction.

A nuclear accident with 1 attributed death and studies showing no discernable increase in cancer rates for residents in the surrounding regions that happened alongside a tidal wave with thousands of deaths is clearly evidence nuclear is bad.

What takes decades is the bureaucracy, it can take as little as 3-5 years without the constant attempts to slow it down. We know the plant can then run for the next 50+ years. It needs to be part of the solution because power demand is constantly growing and we need to phase out other sources. Solar and wind aren’t enough and can’t get built fast enough alone.

The alternative option is to just force China, India, and every African nation to stop developing. That would reduce power needs enough that solar and wind would be sufficient.

Fairies. Generally absurdly powerful magic beings. Commonly assholes or outright sociopaths to those that attract their attention.

You forgot the most probable option the documentation they want is dog shit. Internal documents are almost universally garbage that is out of date and doesn’t cover the important decisions, it just reiterates what is obvious from reading the code.

People generally don’t realize how many ads are actually on pages. It’s way more than just some search results. Carousels are entirely ads. Home page is almost 100% ads. The men’s pants page, mostly ads. Product comparison or review sites are almost all ad based. Affiliate links are just a way to make ads not look like ads.

You saw a steam deck ad, you just didn’t classify it as an ad. People who think ads don’t affect them are lieing to themselves. Not all ads are about immediate action. You stop at Taco Bell over McDonald’s on a road trip because their ad gets associated with happiness subconsciously. Not being able to think of the ads is the point, most ads aren’t trying to directly stick in your brain, it’s about associating keywords and emotion.

It’s not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they’re an asshole, or a pervert, or snob, or they’re lazy, or arrogant or an idiot or know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don’t hate a person because someone told you to. You have to learn to despise people on a personal level. Not because they’re red, or because they’re blue, but because ya know them, and you see them every single day. And you can’t stand them, because they’re a complete and total fucking douchebag.

Wouldn’t this violate the prime directive? Or if the captain fucks an elf is it ok then?

No. Military service in place of prison isn’t elective, you still need the state to allow it. Even then you would be completely free, you likely wouldn’t get leave for a while, and a discharge could put you into prison.

No one cares about genocide. At least not in significant numbers.

Confusion plus a pokemon that flipped coins was awful. Nothing like dieing while dealing no damage.

Lease has a specific term, generally long. Rent implies short term or indefinite length.

That advice seems like a red flag. There are way more options to diversify investments in an IRA than a 401k, you can also invest in the same funds through an IRA that are available to your 401k. Either way you end up paying fees to someone as well.

Yep. I just always put money in my 401k, I don’t know what a paycheck without 15% going to retirement looks like. I’ve still got at least 30 years to go.
