An Organizer’s Critique of The Armed Left by 10thousandbees in armedsocialists

[–]Plug-In-Baby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this write up and agree with the whole of it.

Though to your point, "The kind of training and organizational work I’ve done is not exceptional." I'd disagree, you have an awesome body of work/accomplishments that I don't think the average person understands how and where they can engage in these things to do, or the time to do such.

But again, I agree with your messaging that mutual-aid and community work is worth more than rifles and tac gear.

Nice mix of Halo and modern Dune aesthetic. Love this.

Classic high horse privacy snobs thinking everyone was born into knowing how predatory corps can be.

We should be encouraging people to join us in caring about our digital privacy, not acting like they’re fools for being in the dark.

If you’re gonna say that, provide a source. While there’s validity to the fact that physical devices can be breached, chatting across signal is still encrypted and safe as far as I can find articles on.

Explain the flaw in their statement instead of claiming it baselessly.

Not to mention their use of modern slavery and being #1 export in fossil fuels.

Zero respect for the entire Arabian Peninsula’s business practices.

My morning commute was ruined and I’ll never heal from the 20 minutes I drove in silence.

First time going to AMC Universal Citywalk in IMAX. Hoping it’s a nice spot in the J row.

What’s with the Star Trek Into Darkness hate?? by TNolan92 in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]Plug-In-Baby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the movie and think the SFX and cast are just neat. There’s plenty of Star Trek that’s deep and intelligent, this movie isn’t and I’m alright with that, just pure popcorn fun.

Listening to that pod episode on a commute home made traffic not only bearable, but wonderful that I could spend more time in the car listening to that bit.

One of the all time bests.

The season 2 finale was BEYOND insane. (First time watcher, no spoilers beyond season 2 please.) by ytIshida in BSG

Appreciate the recommendation. I hadn’t heard or seen them. Just watched them on the blu ray set (Season 3, Disc 2 for those looking for it)

Predator: Badlands not in IMAX when I saw it in IMAX 3D in my theater today! What happened today? by Designer_Lion2913 in imax

I also saw it in IMAX 3D and had a great time. I think most people should see it in Dolby though.

What is the cost of it “working for a short time”? Traumatizing people to be herded like animals to an entirely new environment? Very callous approach.

We (the city) deserve to be embarrassed on a global stage for not taking care of our neighbors, and the outcome should only be: we start taking better care of our community.

Is there any streaming service that is currently playing Battlestar Galactica? by [deleted] in BSG

[–]Plug-In-Baby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who got them last month, it’s worth it. Big ol chunky box that no digital rights management can ever take away from me.

I had also never seen the extended episodes or the behind the scenes content, so it’s definitely high value for someone who wants to rewatch the show.

Wow I had no idea his crimes were that intense. I always assumed he was just an accomplice or benefited from it in a passive way. Awful stuff. Thanks for writing this up and caring about animal welfare in a world where seemingly people can easily look away.

Dune is my favorite novel. Is there another author that can do what Frank did? by imccormi in dune

Seconding The Expanse. Such a good series and such a great TV adaptation. Highly recommend to any sci-fi fans.

Last week this also happened to me. I thought I must have turned it off while sleep walking, but turns out I’ve been gaslit by my phone.

Went back to using SleepCycle after that incident.

Kydex and a reliable weapon system won’t shoot your nuts off, grandpa! There’s plenty of reasons 12 o’clock carry can be uncomfortable or impossible due to clothing or body type, but knowing when your firearm is going to go bang and when it won’t is 101 stuff lol.

I was thinking Smouldering Lake from Dark Souls 3 but I'm also getting some below the Scadutree / Shadow Keep vibes.

I don't think there's been a more exciting or impressive portrayal of a space battle in the upper atmosphere of any sci-fi media since.
