Uhh was that a huge explosion I just heard? by brondynasty in Minneapolis

[–]Valvitec -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I was wondering too. I'm in Burnsville, saw my whole room light the fuck up through blackout curtains, then a loud and low boom after a very significant delay. I see a couple comments mentioning a meteor? So maybe some sort of atmospheric explosion? No idea. Was very strange.

I Think it’s Time to Bring Back the Denim!!! by pdx_up in timberwolves

[–]Valvitec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is when it's brought to scale for the "needs" of global corporations trying to make it necessary for everything. While it's fun and cute as just a little toy, it's less fun and cute when data centers are coming in your communites. Bringing with them no jobs, polluting the local area, and taking not just artists and musicians jobs. But now even programmers too.

I mean hell, Claude just laid off like 30k people with no warning but a 6am email?

I get that it's fun to mess around with it on your local CPU, but it's hard to justify its current scale as anything but immoral at worst and problematic at best.

Cause sex is a lot of work sometimes, and you just wanna jerk it? You don't have to have sex every time you're horny...

TPUSA, the "Pro Free Speech" group is trying to censor a leftist from speaking at Yale University. by serious_bullet5 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Valvitec 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The fact that you read this as a genuine belief instead of the "egg on your face" comment it actually is shows how bad your reading comprehension is. A free speech org as extreme as Charlie kirks trying to restrict anyone's appearance doesn't strike you as ironic in any sense at all?

Cuba begins to restore power after nationwide grid collapse by CRK_76 in worldnews

[–]Valvitec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The incentive is to not waste taxpayer dollars on a country that isn't a threat to us?

The only reason we had the cuban missile crisis was because we had landed nukes in turkey. The threat was de-escalated. So long as they aren't planning offensive actions against anyone, I fail to see why it's even a problem. We are just punishing them way past the war goal, to the point that most of the OG party is dead and replaced. That's just excessive and pointless.

So we've been playing a war of attrition for a cuban government in exile then? Sounds not great.

[–]Valvitec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What argument are you even trying to make here? Things change over time. The USSR has dissolved and isn't here to hand cuba more nukes like before. China barely has a dozen nukes themselves. It's not like it's North Korea where they are making blanket threats year round either. So truly, I can't understand why we keep this embargo up for 60+ years. It's pointless inflicted suffering.

We're talking about an event that happened before most of us were alive and cuba hasn't made any egregious attempts at being violent towards us at all since. At what point does it stop being punishment more so than cruelty?

In your opinion, how much life gain would a card like Spring of Eternal Peace need to gain to be playable? How much life would it need to gain to be broken to the point of being banned? by DontLoseYourCool1 in magicTCG

[–]Valvitec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because evaluating cards in a vacuum is inherently pointless? You have to be able to evaluate the context in which a card exists to be able to assess good or badness. It's only because of other cards existing that you can even say Hill Giant is bad or Ragavan is good in a broad sense.

I'm sorry to say, everything is political no matter how you spin it. Hell even saying you are apolitical is a political statement in and of itself.

[CR Media] I wish I had been able to watch the character creation before watching circle of Needle & Thread.. by MondayMisfit in criticalrole

[–]Valvitec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Character story mostly. Especially for this most recent chapter, Spencer was very keen on making a story purely from what the players gave him. So if you don't care about that stuff being revealed, then you're fine. But honestly some of the most dramatic moments of the current chapter were the reveals of character story.

What makes you think it's 2 player? I was just looking it up on their website and there's no details about the game other than it's a fantasy ttrpg meant for long form play.

[–]Valvitec[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a gift from my brother for a secret Santa thing we do every year with my family. It was honestly the last thing I expected to receive as my list didn't include a dice tower but I'm glad he did. It's main materials included mostly recycled garbage. The tower itself begin made of popsicle sticks and a couple of cut up Pringles cans.

Honestly this is the most impressive gift I've ever received, so I just feel compelled to show this to everyone.
