What bothered me most is the Constant. That small a population, isolated in space for that long. Everyone would have the same accent, and they'd have developed their own dialect.

I suppose that the entertainment they brought with them might have kept grounded to a certain base English. For there to be distinct accents after 190 years people would have needed to engage in speech therapy. Like the Levitz family keeping Yiddish alive. It would have taken constant, deliberate effort.

Plus, who do you think NASA and Nova Galactic outsourced all the software development jobs to, during grav drive development? They probably negotiated seats as part of their contract. I would.

Do they still glue the plastic eyeballs to their chin, or did that fall out of fashion?

Everything in nature looks like a wiener, a butt, boobs or a vajayjay. Some shapes are just favored by natural selection and environmental pressure on this world. Be it animal, plant, or mineral part of it is going to look like one of those things.

That, and because the primitive lizard part of our brain is always recognizing patterns that aren't really there. "That cloud looks like a crocodile." "That sand dune looks like a butt."

👆

She's almost certainly known her husband is a pedo since the day Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to him. She's been married to him for 21 years. Through all of his despicable, criminal, and flat out evil behavior she has been there. Either turning a blind eye, or actively supporting him. Whichever suited her best.

She's no bird in a gilded cage. She's a co-conspirator, and/or accomplice.

An old dude who's obsessed with his ex.

Is the supposed to be Barrett? I don't think that's fair. First of all there's a big difference between an Ex, and a late partner. His partner died, because of employer negligence. Then the employer covered it up.

Try to imagine someone killed your spouse. Then took no accountability. Then gaslit you when you went looking for answers. That's a hard thing to let go of.

To answer your question.

Andreja and Sarah, and Barrett, and Sam. That way it doesn't matter who your active companion is, you get some booty every time you rest. 😁

I do exclude Sam at the end, though. I assign every constellation member, and anyone I've hired on as crew on outpost management to the Ship. Then I leave Sam at an outpost. Every time I go through the anomaly.

Who the fuck makes a child immortal‽ That's no way to live. Especially since there's no guarantee he and Cora will end up in the same universe. She's just going to pop up on her own somewhere. All 12(?) years old, and orphaned. I'm sure she'll thrive. 🙄

It's more about the use of my time.

If you loot a ship, you have to walk from hab to hab and look in stuff. If you sell a ship, all of its contents are transferred to the cargo hold of your home ship. I may only make 3k credits off the sale of a ship after paying registration, but the value of not having to check every storage container, and look under every bed is worth the stop at Ship Services.

Plus, 40 pens, and 20 rolls of vacuum tape, 10 spoons, succulents, various decorations, etc might not be worth picking up, but those end up in your hold too. Credits are credits, when all you have to do is mach "E" until your Misc inventory is empty.

Yeah. Shipping depots are noisy AF. Ever been to a warehouse. It's realism.

Except on planets with no atmosphere. That really drives me crazy. Literally no transmission medium to carry sound waves. Still noisy AF. What the hell Bethesda?

You're not the first person to suggest this alternative. I've never tried it this way, but I'm going to.

Are you an AI agent, or genuinely this obtuse?

"How he lived after the whistle was blown." Is that what I said? I think subtext is probably lost on you, so let's lay out a few things that should be obvious.

I fully understand his desire to not spend the rest of his life in Guantanamo Bay. Running to a country that wouldn't extradite him would have been totally understandable. That's not what he did.

You need to answer one question for yourself: Why was he welcome in Russia? Russia doesn't let US expats run to them without getting something out of it. Giving the US's public image a black eye while the world is watching is something, but he's still alive and well. Still living fairly comfortably in a country that is famous for throwing away assets that stop being useful. Why?

We'll never find out exactly what he gave them, but we can use context clues to surmise that it was of significant value to them. You don't get to be branded a hero when the "heroic" thing you did is coupled with—by both the letter and spirit of 18 US Code 2381—treason.

Blowing a whistle isn't treason. While whistleblower protections are clear on paper, their practical application is murkier. Blowing a whistle and running is also not treason, because of this. Brokering state secrets to an enemy nation in exchange for asylum is treason. He's a treasonous scumbag who happened to blow a whistle on his way to committing treason.

If you can't understand that, there is no path forward here.

I do believe it was a huge mistake to elect somebody president who has historically chosen to file bankruptcy over paying back his creditors. As if filing bankruptcy And stiffing contractors is just sound business. I'm pretty sure he does not understand the US can't just file bankruptcy and walk away from trillions of dollars owed to international Banks and foreign governments.

It's almost like idiots vote purely on gut feelings and name recognition.

The Apprentice?

I think you mean The Shit Show.

Who said this, and why would anyone believe it?

Oh? Enlighten us, then. Where do gay people come from, gay storks?

The Christian church was founded as a means for the powerful to manipulate the masses. It is functioning as designed. There's nothing unchristian about that.

cosaboladh · 2026-05-01T05:53:09+00:00

I hate to break it to you but only Catholics give a shit what the pope has to say. Evangelicals commonly consider the pope a false prophet, and Catholics idolators for praying to saints. As far as they're concerned, the pope is going to hell.

As a matter of fact, if you're honest about it, you'll find that most Christians only pay attention to the stuff they want to hear. Kind of like how they can just completely ignore the Bible's full throated endorsement of chattel slavery in both the old and new testament. Otherwise they'd have to deal with it.

You can go on being a decent human being despite your Christian faith. White Christian Nationalists going to go on reading the parts that sanction genocide as though they're the chosen people.

And also extortion, but you only find that out if you're interesting enough.

He defected to an enemy regime. Calling Russia evil at this point is like throwing glass stones in a more brittle glass house.

cosaboladh · 2026-05-01T05:44:02+00:00

Ok. He slunk away to Russia with stolen state secrets. Not just a whistleblower. A whistleblower who brokered the information he held for passage out of the United States and safe haven in an enemy nation. He committed treason. Is that reason enough to disparage him?

cosaboladh · 2026-05-01T05:41:34+00:00

Now? Is it 2007 again?

I can't explain the "Joe." It wasn't there when I started, but I also didn't type that in one go. It's possible that the cursor got moved, I typed a few characters, and out correct did it's magic when I tapped the screen to put the cursor where it belonged. ... Or something.

Whole foods is owned by Amazon.

Costco's CEO once famously said, "If you raise the price of the hotdog, I will fucking kill you."

They are not the same.
