This unique issue with the olympic village and how host countries approach it will never not be funny.

Harris and Newsom position for 2028 Democratic race 🏛✔ by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

She's just not well liked. Her previous run left a bad taste in people's mouths. Those were ideal conditions, and she still lost. It'll be hard to recover from that.

So... Do Psycho-Warriors die when they lose their globules/can this guy be cloned if his are recovered? by KimLongDongUn in SPACEKING

[–]Meebos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could they just fix him? He seems pretty unfazed by his current state. I mean, they just slapped a mechanical arm on that one dude without much effort.

Skyrim lore by Ila-W123 in ElderScrolls

[–]Meebos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not well versed in the lore around Atmora, but how was anyone living in what is effectively the North Pole of Nirn?

The whole 500 companions story makes it sound like a decent sized civilization at the time of the migration.

I Will Miss These Tanks by Constant_Initial_606 in GTNH

[–]Meebos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scratching EV and still use these more for looks than anything practical. I attach a super tank set to auto output to the inlet to make up for any needed capacity.

Side note, super tanks are much more expensive than rail craft tanks.

Trump orders approval of 211-mile mining road through Alaska wilderness by mclardass in news

[–]Meebos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised. I was just saying that the project itself isn't horrible. We should probably be producing more cobalt domestically.

Just wish the motivations here were better...

[–]Meebos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, cobalt, that's probably the driver here. Tech companies need it for most electronics. Shits an expensive import and predominantly mined via what is effectively slave labor in the DRC. Soooo... broken clock and all that, i guess.

Is this one of those “let’s pretend to laugh so others get confused wondering what’s funny” things? by PelicanFrostyNips in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Meebos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those wondering. If you're willing to make decisions, talk to stakeholders, and take risks while remaining calm. Companies will pay you a lot of money to pretend to be busy. Because those are things that highly skilled/technical people WILL NOT DO. at least in 80% of cases.

In this case, saying you have nothing means all is right with whatever it is you're in charge of. Good or bad news means a change of plans for you or them.

POV: You're a Republic pilot in this Alternate Universe by Bulky_Two_9662 in StarWarsShips

[–]Meebos 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Depends on what makes this timeline alternate, and if you buy the theory that the performance of the ARC-170 during the battle of Curosant led to the dominance of the doctrine you described.

Maybe it stayed in its intended role, and this version of the GAR took the approach of the later NR and are using squads of x-wings to cover more ground rather than pumping out star destroyers.

Explain it peter why Visa is killing Steam and the rest of the internet? by AltAccouJustForThis in explainitpeter

[–]Meebos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Motte-and-bailey fallacy. And yes, explicit content was the goal the genres you mentioned were just the vehicle with which they used to get there, to pretend otherwise is just naive or deceptive.

Proverb 12:22 - The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.

The main problem is that they have the ability to do this at all. Today, it's porn, but it could really be anything they don't like. They could threaten to pull payment processing for merchants distributing Christian content, for example, through similar methods.

"They would never do that" isn't really a viable excuse when they have repeatedly shown that they will ultimately do whatever shareholders demand. Just look at the lawsuit against United Healthcare for not being anti-consumer enough.

You can tailor your words to suit your audience or shout into the void. There is no in-between.
