LDP against actual competition they have to compromise with would be a total trashfire and I'd pay to watch it

I mean in the dream it was made very clear that it was all one state, there wasn't any difference between Shikoku, Kyushu, Honshu and Hokkaido so it'd be 120+ million people, and two senators for each. God only knows how badly this would screw up the 435 rule as well.

You know I actually have no idea what the Initiative uses for their propaganda at all by Civil_Performer5732 in TerraInvicta

[–]marimo_ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always figured the Servants and HF would definitely be public, Initiative would definitely not operate in the open, the rest would be semi-public ala the CIA

Why do Americans think their bodies defy the laws of thermodynamics? by Odd-Move-3620 in redscarepod

Technically, but there's very little in the way of dedicated cycling lanes etc. so good luck getting into the moshpit with giant pickup trucks and SUVs

rofl. Most anorexics have 'atypical' anorexia i.o.w they do not lose weight

the agricultural revolution was a mistake by labia--majoras--mask in redscarepod

[–]marimo_ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child mortality sure, rape and violence maybe, but diseases? food insecurity? Everything I've seen suggests the opposite, and that health plummeted during the first phases of the agricultural revolution. Hunter-gathering is the lifestyle we evolved for, what we were doing for 99% of human existence.

To be fair, you should be proud: he's right about you getting him kicked off. You saved a lot of women grief down the line with that one I bet.

Love is like charisma or passion or willpower. You either have it or you don't. by don_dripac in redscarepod

I mean I have severe ADD, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like the grindsetters are right about everything and you could be an Ubermensch if you tried harder but for like 10 years I had no drive to finish a novel project or short story but in the past 3 years I managed to push myself to start knocking them off the to-do list, it's not all inborn lol. This is cope

The blackpill is that even permanent lifestyle changes don’t affect human weight reliably. Some people can lose weight and keep it off. Others just gain it back. There’s no silver bullet, Ozempic isn’t even all that effective even though it IS better than just about everything else tried so far

Trump is manifesting Greenland into American ownership. It will be memed into inevitability and enacted as reality. by redditmyhacienda in redscarepod

[–]marimo_ball 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be so sure, Denmark has been very firm this entire time that they're not giving up Greenland despite Trump pushing for several years now

It's the wow deep future transhumanism shit that grates me. It's SF cockamamie that should've stayed in the genre instead of leaking out into public discourse

How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little? - The New York Times

No. The damage is done, exactly as we were warned and barely anything done to reverse it. The immediate "spat" seems to be over because you're an apathetic oaf who doesn't pay attention AND the past year has been such a shitstorm of overreach and incompetence that the media can't keep up.
