No wé!

I get it. My dentist just isn’t into me either. Thanks for bringing it up.

No one grills like Hank Hill Nor has skills like Hank Hill To sell propane and propane accessories like Hank Hill

“Its easier to explain on the phone. Can you call me?”

Reminds me of the TTRPG Shadowrun. Sometimes its hard to sell the corporate dystopia when you’re describing eating & drinking soy products because meat is prohibitively expensive and they can sell the effect of dubious cash crops like coffee and chocolate with a soy based alternative.

Ngl, digital tantric neural sex link seems pretty fuckin’ rad.

I guess they left out the part where it implants Taco Bell ads, mines your subconscious for thought crimes, and sells the data so people can have virtual sex with your likeness. Less rad.

When I first watched it for the ridiculous Sean Connery outfit I became quickly outraged that it’s not spoken of more highly in sci-fi film media. It’s got some really solid bones.

Where do they get new humans? Why do they keep the whole body?

Have you ever had a wet dream?

If you cum in the Matrix you cum in real life.

Warm vat of liquid goo doesn’t sound so nice when it’s recirculation community jizz (I mean, not to mention. I ain’t judging.)

You’re conflating the severity of the consequences to the likelihood of it happening.

The likelihood of getting in a crash is not higher if your feet are on the dash. The likelihood of your injuries being worse, way worse, is. That’s the point of plenty of plenty of precautions.

Do you think seatbelts aren’t necessary because they don’t make you less likely to crash?

I still don’t understand.

It sounds like you’re saying we should not be concerned with putting our feet up on the dash because we could fall off a ladder.

Don’t put your feet up on the dashboard because an unlikely crash could shatter your hips.

Don’t step on the top of a step ladder because a less unlikely fall could break your spine.

Why are we comparing them like it’s incompatible to practice basic safety for both? Absolutely, there are many other more common dangers in the world you should guard yourself against. But not putting yourself in a position to severely worsen your injuries in the event of a car collision is one of them!

What are you talking about?

“I’ve never got into a crash, so go ahead and put your feet up on the dash if you like because people get injured from ladder falls and sports.”

First of all, and this is an issue I’m trying to impress on my 7 year old too, no one intends to have an accident, that’s why it’s called and accident. Just because you’ve never been in a car collision doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Then, in the event that a collision does happen, you really don’t want your feet up because it will be worse. What may have been some heavy bruising to your face and chest turned into one shattered femur and one ripped right out of your hip.

That’s the lesson, and it’s not “over cautious”. It’s absolutely an appropriate level of caution.

While I appreciate calling out predatory and unethical business practices, can someone explain why “Darrow bought the idea for a low price and no royalty rights” is different than “Magie sold for a low price and no royalty rights”?

By all means, if there’s a story about unethical coercion or misleading (that’s the foundation of capitalism after all), I’d like to hear more about it. But if Magie didn’t care enough about the idea and sold it for a quick buck to a capitalist to do with it what they would, I gotta say, I can’t really blame Darrow for buying something they thought had value that Magie didn’t think had value.

Reading Magie’s wikipedia page suggests Darrow ripped it off, despite several patents, and her game, The Landlords Game, being published by another game company, and he sold it to Parker Brothers (who had already published her games before).

Sounds more like Darrow stole the idea and Parker Brothers negligently (or willfully) disregarded patents because they were big enough to get away with it.

It’s this. Stay the fuck down until your row is clearing.

You must know the sting of the blade to prepare thyself for the sting of the bee.

Oh fuck, that makes so much more sense!

I was like “What? What do they do with their noise tongue? What are they and what are they doing with them? I need answers!”
