Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.
Before covid everyone was shaking each others hands. I can guarantee you that not all the handshakes I’ve had were clean, because I sometimes didn’t wash my hands after having a wank.
My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I’m impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition....
I haven’t finished the series yet, but I heard >!it was Vault Tech who dropped the nukes!<
If that’s the bastardisation you’re referring to, it’s actually not surprising if you’ve been paying attention. >!Vault Tech are fucking demons. Half of their vaults are sadistic torture chambers disguised as “experiments”, it makes total sense they would have instigated everything!<
I’m old enough to experience slang which isn’t native to my generation. But let me just say, this current generations slang is the shittest in a long time.
Previous gen slang (fam, lit, yeet) was a 6/10
Current gen slang (frfr, no cap, rizz) is 2/10
Next gen has such a low bar to beat, it’ll be hard for them to fuck this up.
Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.
I’m pretty much on board, though how much anyone can agree is a matter of relativity.
We know about the closest stars and the planets within them, and based off spectrometry, we’re confident the planets “close” to us haven’t had life, though they might be capable.
The chances of there being no mass extinction events in the millions of years following abiogenesis is arguably smaller than surviving the five or so we’ve had. Given everything we know about astrophysics, we owe the asteroids a few clean hits, we have been astronomically lucky, and that’s not even taking into consideration every other cause of mass extinction.
15 billion years is still considered early in the grand scheme of things, it’s likely that we are the early ones. A billion years head start is plausible, sure, but it’s certainly less plausible than our existence.
All of this is to say that life is rare enough without them being a stones throw away.
And this is all disregarding any possible intent behind a visit. Any being capable of space travel does not need our resources.
Unless they’re sex tourists, which would explain all the anal probing.
I see your olfactory pallette is not very refined, novice stench hunter. Teenage boys who don’t shower often, and rich slaveowning cops have very different scents.
About three years ago I came across a rich slaveowning teenage boy who didn’t shower often.
The overlap created this dangerous aroma which waft over me like an Appalachia Egg Fart. I wish I could have bottled it for my kids.
On the “Mario Kart Tour” sub, I made a meme during the games “Election” event. I made vague but obvious comparisons to Trump/Mario Vs Biden/Luigi.
Everyone in the comments were having fun, there was no complaining, and the post even reached the homepage.
Then the fucking mods deleted my shit and pissed the community off. I got universal support and the sub was filled with posts requesting the mods to undelete my meme.
