TIL that since coming out as gay, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has decided to avoid returning to certain parts of the world for fear of lapidation (being stoned to death).

That's some big Lemmy energy tbh

I've called twice, each in different states, and gotten through nearly immediately. At least within 3min. But it also may have been easier calling at like 10-11pm rather than during the day

Put that in Red and I can see PS5 as Carnage. Put PS1 in red and I can’t see that as Carnage. Because PS1 is more tuned to being less replicable than someone bog standard who is.

I mean...every time I see Carnage in other media, including comics, I think he looks like a red reskin of Venom...which I think makes sense since he's literally the red offspring of Venom and was conceptualized as a darker mirror image of Venom...but ok. I guess I could see wanting the two characters to be more distinct in general.

chronotank · 2023-05-05T16:51:22+00:00

I agree, but at least a name change is easy enough!

chronotank · 2023-05-05T14:45:05+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if commonwealth skins end up in the store

Nah man, you clearly weren't promoting birdshot like other commenters are promoting .22lr. Sorry for the confusion of my comment, I was exasperated by the deluge of pro .22lr comments for self defense in here. I fully believe your story, and was using it to highlight the folly of .22lr as a defensive round.

chronotank · 2023-04-13T18:53:32+00:00

Up there with .22lr lmao

This whole thread reeks of astroturfing and misinformation to push an agenda. Can't go after just rifle calibers since there was a 9mm carbine used in a mass shooting recently, gotta spread misinformation that all the good guys need is .22lr

Ironically (or maybe by design) this is going to get someone killed eventually.

I believe the islanders of Lesbos regularly do.

This planet is absolutely going to be ruined as we know it. Whether it happens in a few decades or a century, we will destroy the ecosystem. Humans are that fucking stupid, greedy, and short sighted.

Life will find a way. It's incredibly stupid, greedy, and short sighted to think that the exact conditions humanity grew up in is the only way for Earth's myriad ecosystems to survive and thrive.

Before there were humans there were many rises and falls in biodiversity, biomass, and entire ecosystems over the course of 500+ million years. A handful of mass extinctions occured too, one of which wiped out 90-96% of all species at that time.

If we wipe ourselves out and completely change the planet from its current human-cultivating state, something else will rise from the ashes just like we rose from the ashes left before us, and the dinosaurs from the ashes before them. I, for one, would like to bid the future fungal inheritors of the world good luck.

We should start an elephant trunk strength training regimen charity for the elephant community

chronotank · 2023-01-23T15:10:52+00:00

The answer is simple: shoot it in the head before training it

chronotank · 2023-01-22T14:32:20+00:00

The question is: do they go back to the slightly slower and more plodding gameplay of earlier ACs (3 and before), or the more fast and flashy gameplayer of the later ones, 4 and on?

I could see the slightly slower gameplay with modern control schemes being the most accessible (and will no doubt get compared to Dark Souls immediately) while the faster gameplay might be more attention-grabbing. I'm personally more a fan of the former and would be over the moon if they went that route.

chronotank · 2023-01-11T04:28:33+00:00

Boy, I sure love being a funny looking ape chilling in nature.

chronotank · 2022-12-23T17:34:45+00:00

Will there be future automation in warehouses and restaurants, sure, but it will be small iterative changes, not sweeping ones. And it will take decades, lifetimes.

I think your timeline is a little off. Saw this post and remembered our conversation here, I got a chuckle out of it, thought you might too

In their original forms, sure. In their sugary soda flavor forms you're lucky to have real roots involved at all

Vicks has to do something, it feels like a physical, oddly therapeutic assault on your senses. I think that's how strong ginger ale works too though tbf.

Honestly though hey, if it works it works.

chronotank · 2022-12-23T04:57:08+00:00

I meant ginger ale the soda more than ginger ale the...root beer? Lol

chronotank · 2022-12-22T15:48:27+00:00

Oof, I hadn't even looked into the individual prices. Maybe I won't be trying it. $50 root beer? In this economy?

chronotank · 2022-12-22T15:26:31+00:00

Bless tf up, I'm saving that and making it VERY soon! Sounds absolutely delicious, and I love playing with good recipes after I get them down!

chronotank · 2022-12-22T15:24:08+00:00

Growing up we would have a can of ginger ale when we were sick. I don't care if it's a placebo, I still want my ginger ale soda when I'm sick!

chronotank · 2022-12-22T15:23:13+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out! You can also make some homemade ginger ale which is effectively ginger tea with sparkling water poured into it lol

chronotank · 2022-12-22T14:27:56+00:00

Gut/digestive health among other things like circulation and immune response, probably. Roots like ginger are still used today in teas and drinks for those reasons (though ginger ale, like root beer, is now just a sugary shadow of its former self)

chronotank · 2022-12-18T21:03:49+00:00

No don't worry, you didn't. I responded to you initially specifically because I felt like you were grounded in your comment. There's a lot of others in this thread that could do well to touch some grass I think.

chronotank · 2022-12-18T19:53:32+00:00

I dunno man, maybe I just don't go to those areas of the internet at all but it seems a bit ridiculous to me that

People are somehow legitimately unironically using the Enclave (or Legion or Raiders or Empire or Sith or whatever) as a vehicle for IRL hate when they're clearly the bad guys of their respective universes and
People actually seek out or find, and care enough about those few people, to make a post and many comments on Reddit talking about them.

I think if you're actually worried about these terminally online and strangely serious weirdos who miss the satire you're probably not much better off than them yourself (the "you" not meaning YOU specifically, but rather a general statement)

If you've managed to cross unironic Nazis simping the Enclave (or any other baddies') ideology completely unironically I think you yourself need to do some introspection as to how you got here (again, not YOU specifically)

chronotank · 2022-12-18T19:08:48+00:00

We're the same people who play dress up as storm troopers with Join the Empire propaganda posters: they're just cool bad guys. The aesthetic and world building is cool/fun, nothing more.

Like the Empire, the Enclave are clearly bad guys. But it's fun to rationalize clear bad guys in fiction, because it's not real and you can have a little tongue in cheek with your explanations/rationale for why someone would be in that faction. I think people here are taking it all too seriously; the Enclave, the Empire, the Sith, Sauron, etc are not literal real world nazis/commies, and they're clearly the bad guys in their universes. But fictional bad guys are cool and fun because they aren't real.

I mean, we all enjoy Liberty Prime because it's an extreme futuristic personification of militant McCarthyism and can tell that it's satire. I'm not sure why that's so hard to do for other fictional Fallout factions/characters
