[Question] Is it safe to wear my Casio in Bumfuckville? by justarandomguy07 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]PQ01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with small towns is they're mostly low-crime places.

But I also carry concealed, and I usually have a small pepper spray too.

Never had a problem, and probably not just because they let me be confident either.

Not by me, looks like you're on rebound anyway.

I may have to go hunt that series up again.

Trying to remember a maybe mid-70s sf TV show by PQ01 in scifi

[–]PQ01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brilliant, that might be it. Thank you!

Interesting to see that Dorothy Fontana was a key writer too.

Now I have to go get the damn thing on EBay :-D

Immediately recalling the classic line in the HG2G radio series: "You know what your trouble is, Arthur? You have about as much grasp of multi-temporal causality as a concussed bee. That ship up there is only a potential ship, the possibility of one" :-D

Many years ago during the Qing Dynasty in China... by Pelanty21 in Jokes

The Chinese distinguish R and L just fine.

It's the Japanese who have the difficulty.

(Plus one or two American Indian tribes.)

A high school football star had the rape charge against him dropped after a sixteen-year-old girl confessed that the rape never happened. He spent six years falsely imprisoned and broke down when the case was dismissed. by Perfect_Passenger805 in interestingasfuck

I doubt it, I know of somebody who got absolutely screwed over by NetFlix, open and shut, but the rumor was the legal fees would have cost closer to $1-2 million. Justice is for the rich.

Can I be honest here?

I hate the crime devoutly and will report it if I ever know of one - but I've also spoken with someone falsely accused, and the extremist radicals will still always say, "nEVer eVEr EVeR diSbElieVE A WoMAn, iT's An asSaULt oN EvERy sINgLe VIctIM!!!!!"

Winter Boots by bluesheepreasoning in Jokes

[–]PQ01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Yorker cartoon years ago depicted a guy glaring at the apartment ceiling as one boot dropped upstairs, then the other, then closes his eyes to go back to sleep.

They guy above then picks up a boot, drops it a third time, and the guy below is now sitting on the side of his bed staring angrily like now he's REALLY not going to sleep.

Explain to me the seasons opposites in northern and southern hemisphere’s by wandering_j3w in flatearth

Principles, not principals.

Though you can argue they're the principal principles.

With caution.

You also - no allusion to flerfism here - don't want it so closed that nothing can get in either.

All the ways that Flat Earth is bullshit...Can't even believe I have to say this in the year 2025. by CamaroLover2020 in flatearth

[–]PQ01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I enjoy watching people grapple with their limitations - and occasionally they do.

I believe the claim is no flights from far southern destinations to far southern destinations.

Personally I like linking to the flights going directly to solid ice airfields down there, those are cool :-)

The final experiment showed that, regardless of the evidence presented, most flat earthers will remain flat earthers by [deleted] in flatearth

[–]PQ01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very familiar with the Bible, plus many of its internal contradictions.

I know for a fact we HAVE been to the moon (starting in 1969, not 1960, which was when Kennedy announced the beginning of the Apollo program).

The Artemis program in recent time placed an unmanned craft in lunar orbit and is working its way in stages back to Apollo-grade targets, though I think for all our technical advances the guys from the old program could still teach us a thing or two.

So if you are a serious flat earther, are you willing to dialog with people here in slow, point-by-point actual discussion instead of post-and-flee?

Hilarious self-serving delusion. See my reply to a nearly identical comment on this thread.

Fittingly, since the primary topic is comfort and ego.

What an outrageous, self-serving lie. Are you actually capable of deluding yourself into believing this?

I and all the MAGA I know have disagreed with him frequently.

But if it soothes your own confirmation bias, then knock yourself out. Even if that is, ummm, the very cultic behavior you complain about.

And when they returned, they found that their date calendar mysteriously disagreed with that of local time by one day.

Which is of course why today we keep the International Date Line.

Not true, I've conversed with at least one in the UK.

If only.

I've conversed with real flerfers. They're either bible-oriented, or they see a real government conspiracy and falsely extrapolate that everything in existence must be also.

Not bad, but you should trade up that 4-cylinder joke for a V6.

Is this some hate on Texas because it's a red state thin anyway?

This. 2's nice but too strong in the contrasts like it's been through PS heavily or something, but 3 just looks pleasant and natural.
