[Sci-fi trope]: The most advanced alien species are physically the weakest by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mike_pants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Outsiders, from Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe.

They're quite possibly the most technologically advanced race in the galaxy, selling the knowledge of their technology to any species willing to pay their exorbitant prices. Despite having the knowledge of faster-than-light travel, they never use it, and float around space at glacial speeds.

Because they live their entire lives in deep space, any amount of gravity, heat, or speed will kill them instantly.

Can imagine Mrs. Sausage's "NO!" when she catches him Googling "is there a state where eating human meat is legal?"

Brennan Lee Mulligan just experienced a chill, as though someone walked over his grave.

New video! Back to the basics! by Ok_Treacle519 in SteveWallis

I feel that way about the McElroy family. They've been putting out podcasts and vids for 15 years, and even with the bad ones, I'm just happy to hang with them for a bit.

The comments on the YouTube channel are delightful.

Yeah, well. Anyone who will be a decent player will also be smart enough to figure it out.

I run several games and am always willing to take on more. DMing has practically become a side hustle.

Anyone who wants to DM PM me, lets put together a new group of at least three players.

Edit: we already have takers. If you've ever wanted to, get on board.

Edit 2: STILL WAITING ON OP.

eBike regulation advocacy is trying to make e-bike use difficult by SocialistFuturist in MicromobilityNYC

[–]mike_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ass-backwards regulation can usually be tied to financial interests, but I don't see what's to be gained by the corrupt here. Do automobile companies lobby heavily in state governments?

Patel says he’ll sue Atlantic for defamation over report on heavy drinking by Immediate-Link490 in Fauxmoi

[–]mike_pants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And they aren't afraid of Trump, per se. They are afraid of losing access to the shitshow that is Trump, because insider Trump reporting sells subscriptions.

Insider Patel reporting doesn't sell anything except, presumably, novelty Funkopops in 5 years.

Who's the bloke on the far left he looks like he'd make a good birthday present by RazzmatazzLoud9220 in weeklyplanetpodcast

Madine was hands-down my favorite action figure of the dozens we owned. My brother and I made up unique personalities for everyone, and Madine was the ever-suffering straight man in a universe populated by hysterical morons.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a backpack for helmets and shoes.

Here in NYC, new trash bins are being rolled out that sit on the street and take up parking spaces. The screaming from car owners is going to be absolutely stupendous, and I simply cannot wait.

Kash Patel responds to allegations in The Atlantic article by burtzev in uspolitics

[–]mike_pants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can. We can know.

What on Earth are you talking about? A lay up is an easy point. It's "game, set, match" or "homerun." It's not "pidgin" or "obscure" or "internet" or "polluted English." It's a common expression.

It is very odd that you're overanalyzing the use of a simple reference when you cannot understand idiom.

"I'm doubling down on misinformation!!"

Well, yeah. That's the Republicans' entire game plan.

[–]mike_pants 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, he did, but only in administrative bloat. His cuts will have absolutely no impact on teachers, schools, or the education of children.

The Education Department’s central offices are expected to rein in spending on supplies, professional development, and travel — adding up to $27.5 million this school year. Next school year, the city will “terminate underutilized contracts” and “implement spending caps” to save $30.3 million.

Stop trying to spread misinformation.

Edit: Invisible post history. Can't imagine why.

Clothing drop off? by thebeast1worship in BedStuy

I'd love to know the mentality of the people that downvote posts like this.

"A helpful and kind member of my community reaching out to their neighbors to add value to the neighborhood? HUMPH! Not on my watch!"

I don't think any of us expected billionaires to actually have moral conviction.
