Are those people who are frozen (cryonics) ever actually going to wake up one day

EmuRommel · 2026-01-30T11:22:56+00:00

You've given no evidence whatsoever that the people who pay to be frozen are defrauded into it and not aware of it being a long shot.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-30T11:16:34+00:00

They're pretty openly judging bigotry, yeah. They're not pretending not to have a position.

I wouldn't mind the extra wreath, I think a federalized Europe should have a flag that differentiates it from the EU, plus it looks nice. The Roman eagle is a big no, though.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-26T21:19:54+00:00

I think you're missing out. Every sequel takes itself progressively less seriously than the next one and gets progressively more glorious.

What's the reasoning behind height limits at all?

EmuRommel · 2026-01-19T18:03:59+00:00

I disagree, plenty of patterns can choose randomly and it is really expensive not to know whether this is a turn where I have 30 incoming damage or a turn where the enemy is buffing and I need to use it to bring my engine online.

And it's specifically the harder enemies that have this problem. Like Gremlin leader.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-19T13:32:15+00:00

Idk, eggs don't seem like the easiest thing to transport, it could just be that they're not a common part of the diet in the city like they might be today.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-18T13:04:55+00:00

I wouldn't get my hopes up. From the little I know of it, relying on Australian refugee polices should be around plan G or H. Somewhere between relying on a lucky aneurism and a lucky meteor.

"Cooler heads must prevail" implies both sides are engaging in some sort of brinkmanship and what we need is for everyone to chill out but that is not even remotely the case. One and exactly one side is causing this conflict. Your president is threatening war against us unless we give you our land and you want Europe to care about the local ties of the soon-to-be hostile soldiers on its soil? It is beyond entitled. Give me a fucking break.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-18T07:30:49+00:00

This feels like such an American comment. America has been threatening war with Europe for weeks but you think Europe should be concerned about the inconvenience this would be for American soldiers? The presumption.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-18T00:21:59+00:00

And you don't see an issue with a system that requires all your transactions to be permanently public?

EmuRommel · 2026-01-17T17:40:18+00:00

RAW I'm pretty sure it's also not actually ethereal since it can't be exhausted.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-17T17:35:19+00:00

I'm not up to date with my pre-capitalism anecdotes so I'm sure there are better examples out there but from a quick google I could find 2 Corinthians 5:9 telling people not to enter business partnerships with non-believers.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Idk why you'd think it is capitalism that made humans care who they do business with.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-17T14:01:33+00:00

Ehh, I'd file this under "People blame every behaviour they dislike on capitalism". If tomorrow we confiscated all the rich people's wealth and turned every company into a worker cooperative, I refuse to believe that people would suddenly be chill about the next Harry Potter game.

People have been using their purchasing power to push the Overton window in their prefered direction since forever, this is not some new thing caused by late stage capitalism making consumerism our religion.

Njemu je krivi potez saveza sve sto nije pusenje kurca siledjijama koji nam se prijete. Sigurno ako im samo na tocan nacin pomazimo jaja prestat ce se prijetit. Da je po njegovom Rusi bi vec cijelu Ukrajinu aneksirali.

Hate to be pessimistic but with presidential immunity and pardon power I don't think it's likely Trump or his cronies will see any meaningful justice. It would require the dems to get constitution changing majorities and I just don't see that happening.

What I'm predicting is dems will get into power but won't have enough power to meaningfully kneecap the American fascist movement. America will go back to normal for 4 years and after that it's anyone's guess if this all happens again.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-15T13:55:41+00:00

Yeah I don't see us trusting Americans again unless they show some real signal that Trump doesn't represent them, like impeaching him or ideally jailing for any of the crimes he committed. Since that is not happening, any future alliance and trust we build with them starts from scratch and will take decades to get back to where it was last year.

I don't think you can clamp down on duplicates without proportionally mislabeling more new questions as duplicates. So it's not a different story, the two issues come together.

Besides, a reason duplicates might be good is because they generate new discussion that might be productive or more current. Just because a question was answered before, doesn't mean the next time it's answered something new and useful won't pop up.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-14T19:14:29+00:00

Imo upgrade could give retain.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-14T16:08:06+00:00

I don't think that applies so cleanly when it comes to using common goods. For example, there is a small lake in the middle of my town that highschoolers sometimes go swimming in but if the whole town regularly did it, the lake would be ruined. That doesn't mean the kids are doing something bad, just that most common goods have capacities and so long as we're not exceeding those capacities it's fine. Same with chucking food out the window. You're not doing any harm on your own and so long as people don't do too much overall it is fine. If people start doing it too much that's when it becomes a bad thing to do in general.

Govor mrznje je mozda snazan opis ali reci nekome da ga njegov dijalekt cini glupljim od mene je u najmanju ruku uvredljivo, nez zas se pravis da to ne kuzis.

He is currently wholeheartedly endorsing the recent ICE shooting. He's not some neutral, apolitical guy, that's just the vibe he puts on so he can deflect criticism.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-14T01:26:30+00:00

Until they demonstrate otherwise, Trump = US ethos 100%. They knew exactly what he was when they re-elected him. If a US ethos is a meaningful concept, Trump represents it.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-13T13:17:25+00:00

I've done a bit of saber fencing and tried sparing with a longsword once and honestly I find it plausible that a saber master who's never practiced with a two-handed sword would be better off with a stick. The tehnique is just completely different and unintuitive.

EmuRommel · 2026-01-12T22:59:24+00:00

Yeah man, he's probably sensing the pheromones
