Comedy?

There’s also no risk of getting stuck on an escalator in the case of a power outage or other malfunction:

“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order’ sign, just ‘Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.’” - Mitch Hedberg, RIP

Bet you that adds to the arrival time though.

I’m pretty sure it’s from Our Man Bashir.

“Everyone knows Romulan children’s bodies look best in a bath of blood, and before you say that sounds weird I mean alive or dead!”

All too true. It hurts to see. It’s also worth mentioning the sabotage/blockade of aid by Israeli protesters and that the UN says it’s out of stockpiled supplies.

There’s also the LoTR version.

As much as the “hurt with one hand, help with the other” approach bothers me, I really hope this enables sufficient aid to safely reach the civilians who so desperately need it.

I like that a lot - it makes the crits feel more epic and unique.

Perhaps you’ll enjoy this gem from way back - The Count Censored.

Done, I subbed, and if I come up with more I’ll try to contribute :)

I’d say it’s sometimes ok, sometimes necessary for brevity, and sometimes accurate. Accurate = “All people need oxygen, water, and calories to survive.” Brevity = “Generally speaking, people enjoy good food and good company so those situations work well for forming relationships.”

Consequences of generalizations have a lot to do with how tolerable they are. If I say, “most people like pizza” there’s not much harm if several million people don’t. If I say, “all or most people of this gender/ethnicity/religion/whatever have X problem” that’s a lot more problematic because it can easily lead to a consequence of harmful prejudice. When it comes to matters of ethics, beliefs, accusations etc. it becomes very important to handle cases individually as much as humanly possible.

I hope reality turns out to be an incredibly immersive sequel to Idiocracy or something similar that I can wake up from and criticize for being dumb, if occasionally amusing. It’s the only way I can make peace with things like this story.

your weird ass bug and vampire kink bait

What? No. Usually I don’t answer or downvote criticism because not everyone has to like my/anyone’s content and criticism can absolutely be valid. If you’re serious though then I’d say sexualizing this image to that degree is quite a leap. I mean, the vampire is Sesame Street’s The Count for starters. There’s nothing sexually explicit or even implied in either the image or the text.

In case anyone wants to know specifically why this is crazy: here’s a NASA article about magnetic pole shifts/reversals. The short version is:

• Magnetic North Pole was identified about 200 years ago and since then it’s constantly been drifting so “Pole Shifts” are a constant reality.
• Complete reversals (where N and S swap) happen every 300,000 years or so on average (varying a lot). The last reversal was actually 780,000 years ago, so I’m not sure what societal collapse this guy knows about from WAY into pre-history.
• The Earth’s magnetic field has declined in strength in the last 200 years by about 9%, but it’s still twice as intense as it’s million-year average and not going anywhere anytime soon.

This showed up in my Lemmy feed just above a story from the BBC about how Biden is planning to send 1 billion in arms to Israel. I felt these two stories next to each other was a fitting symbol of how wrong things are going.

That damage amount is freaky. Player sold their soul to roll the most damage anyone will ever see lol.

That looks hilarious. It’s like the TTRPG of ridiculous anime.

I’ve never played a TTRPG where I got to play around with 9th level spells or the equivalent and now I’m jealous. That’s insane!
