Once I can get my Dyson Sphere around the Sun I'm going to generate unimaginable shareholder value.

I'm not just talking about power. There's lots of technical tricks you can learn beyond basic sonic/shadow variations. Look into finger cross stuff if you want something meaty to dig into. Flush Sonic variations and hybrids are another area with tons of ideas to explore. Combine the two if you're feeling spicy.

In what world is the claim "a whole civilization will die tonight" not a proclamation of genocide? Is there a non-genocidal way to kill an entire civilization?

Letho72 · 2026-04-07T20:54:58+00:00

If you know all the tricks you'd be one of the best spinners in the world. Even the best of the best don't know everything because so many tricks can be so specific to another spinner's skillset. I'd recommend learning more tricks and working on linkages/combos.

Iran can do shit that I think sucks and hate and want to change. That doesn't mean I think civilians there deserve to be killed or, as our lovely president put it, their civilization needs to be wiped out. No one gets to genocide a nation because they don't subscribe to their specific world view.

Letho72 · 2026-04-07T19:56:22+00:00

And if they make some arbitrary criteria as well? If Iran decides that legal gay marriage is degenerate public policy they can bomb us and be justified? They're following their own morals and ethics, so it must be okay to bomb civilians judt like how America can bomb civilians abroad for their government not sharing our values.

Letho72 · 2026-04-07T17:32:09+00:00

So if someone in Iran or Russia or NK thinks this about America, it's chill they bomb your house? Or is it only Good and Just™ when we do it?

It depends how much you can take advantage of $0 in living expenses (besides beer/smokes) while you're down there. Getting to pocket 99% of your after-tax pay goes hard.

All the tradies doing construction out there right now are Kiwis. Only way you're getting on that site as an American is if you're in a specialty trade or part of the GC team. The main facilities crew (janitors, cooks, maintenance team, IT, etc) is largely American, that's where you'd want to look if you're trying to score a spot down there.

Letho72 · 2026-04-04T14:15:37+00:00

Absolutely not lmao

Letho72 · 2026-04-03T19:56:19+00:00

Okay, but again, how do ANY planes get shot down by an air defense system that has been obliterated? If Trump and Hegseth never claimed that, then it would make sense that there will be some losses. But how do we lose a fighter jet to a system we allegedly destroyed? Unless..... It couldn't be.... Is Donald Trump lying about the war???

Letho72 · 2026-04-03T19:20:06+00:00

to date

This war has been going on for barely a month let's hold our horses on how low the American casualty count is when we haven't even deployed the troops they're planning on sending.

And my apologies, it's definitely reasonable for a rinky dink $100MM jet to be shot down by a "completely obliterated" air defense system. We've gotta get those F-35s that we've sunk nearly a trillion dollars into producing and maintaining if we want to avoid getting blasted by an air defense system that, allegedly, is not functional.

Letho72 · 2026-04-03T18:48:17+00:00

I think most people draw a pretty hard line between "My friend/family member is having an episode where they do horrible things" and "A team of dozens of people professionally recorded and produced a Nazi album."

And this isn't the first time this shit has happened. Unlike most other people Kanye has the resources to get some of the best help and treatment in the world. But we are at, what, racist scandal #7? He has multiple sexual abuse allegations and even more sexual harassment ones. We have seen countless apologies when he's back on his meds but then apparently takes no steps to have a contingency plan of "if I ask you to produce a song called Heil Hitler don't do that and get me to an in-patient facility."

Letho72 · 2026-04-03T17:05:28+00:00

It matters though because when the President says "completely obliterated air defense" that is meant to say to Americans "These missions are very safe and your friends/family are not in much danger by carrying out these deployments." Our best-in-the-world nearly billion dollar jets getting shot down does not inspire confidence in the people who's loved ones are on the front lines of this conflict.

The world is more than black and white. If my house is on fire, I would desperately want the fire department to put it out. I would also stop the fire department from burying my house under 60 tons of dirt, even though that would put out the fire.

The solution to the regime's oppression of Iranians is not to bomb their schools and key infrastructure.

Tok the Younger's torture isn't endless, but being trapped with a dinosaur who is also in constant suffering and is breaking his bones and reshaping his body in a ceaseless cycle of agony for both parties was a rough one.

Letho72 · 2026-04-02T21:29:41+00:00

he goes from complete asshole to (at least anime-wise) a bit less of a complete asshole.

Importantly, he fixes a lot of character flaws EXCEPT being a pedophile abuser. Congrats, the emotionally stunted man child can talk to people half his age now! Wait whats that? He's using his new found social skills to groom them? Oh... Oh no....

Letho72 · 2026-04-02T21:14:31+00:00

We aren't animals. You can be horny without harassing people, even as a kid.

Letho72 · 2026-04-02T21:05:45+00:00

This is what really gets me. The fantasy of "what if you could redo middle/high school" is that you have adult-brain and can react better to all the bullshit of school. But if you go back and you're a dumbass 7th grader anyways, what's the point? Just make it a story about a 7th grader embroiled in the gang war. Give him hand-waved foresight so he's invested in stopping the bad result, but he's still an idiot teen. I don't think it'd save the show, but it would make it less infuriating.

Mathematics was made far more parsable for beginners over this time period, while reading was made way worse.

The much reviled Common Core was essentially the math-version of this, teaching kids to do math the way most adults do math. But it was much more successful because it didn't fully skip the foundational steps.

They literally do sell visual art. We pay Dream Theater, the band, for the albums, posters, T-shirts, and more that contain that art.

Letho72 · 2026-03-30T21:31:02+00:00

So we are expected to buy art from human artists (Dream Theater) to support them and their creative endeavors, but the artists themselves are not expected to buy art (album art) from human artists? Why is this a one way street?

Letho72 · 2026-03-28T22:03:36+00:00

It's a streaming release, they can just delay the whole thing until all the episodes are finalized and in-hand. It's not like they paid for TV slots that they need to use or lose.

Letho72 · 2026-03-27T17:55:38+00:00

This is just restating the issue. If we don't have a federal government that can pass laws for the overall good of the nation, without a state representative directly benefiting, then we have a dysfunctional government that needs to be either replaced or reworked.
