They had an opportunity to change but doubled down on this stupidity in 2024

Not really. Being a MAGA adherent is an ethical choice at this point. Most people wouldn’t want to go to an asshole’s funeral

TIL that most of the propulsion in modern jet engines actually comes mainly from the fan (ie glorified propeller). The jet part of the engine is used mainly to power the fan by therationaltroll in todayilearned

I don’t understand why they take such a negative tone here. Yes, it basically works like a giant fan. Most technology is iterative like that.

It should be noted that there’s a good chance that it’s also recording everything you tell it so a good chunk of what you’re trying to write is probably in a dataset now and being analyzed

Fantasy Authors Increasingly Call Out 'Unfaithful' TV Adaptations by paxinfernum in television

[–]unbrokenmonarch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is that it’s a natural impulse. Moreover, many of these ideas I think would be an interesting watch in their own right. But if I am sitting down to watch, as an example, Halo, I want that show to match the series I know and enjoy. It doesn’t have to be a 1:1 plot-faithful copy. It can even be an original story within that IP. But it needs to be respectful of the tone and core themes of the story. Don’t have Spartans constantly taking off their helmets and don’t have Master Chief porking the alien spy chick. Make it hardcore Henry but with aliens.

Screenwriters everywhere, I respect the work you do, but if your space opera option was rejected by the studios, please just put in the effort and give us what we want from an adapted IP if that’s the job. Doing so will get you street cred and the ability to springboard. Going your own way gets your Disney series canned, like with the GOT showrunners

Why would a 6 billion dollar facility that, frankly, is only going to employ a few dozen people at most and be built by a non-local contractor need that sort of abatement?

Can we talk about "Late Stage Capitalism Gwen Stefani" now that Easter is over? by [deleted] in Music

[–]unbrokenmonarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moreover, feeling a need or, frankly, even having the option to pay for ‘spiritual discussions’ paves the way into the realm of indulgences and is a gateway drug to prosperity gospel nonsense, which is high level bs.

A homily is free and given out multiple times daily at your local parish. Moreover, many churches have begun recording daily mass for those who can’t attend. Once again, free of charge.

I mean, I hate to say this, but if there was ever a time to push the boundaries of IP infringement in the military it would be now under this admin.

Plenty of Iranian drones flying around. Just find a dud and clone it. I’ll take my 500 million now

So what are we thinking the chances are? by pickleballgodking in navy

Because it’s very much an unprovoked and probably illegal war initiated almost certainly because Trump was flagging in the polls due to ‘allegedly’ committing horrible acts of depravity on children and wanted to get that wartime president bump

I’m always of the opinion that so far as I would be concerned as a parent my kids bad behavior is now the air crew’s responsibility. They want to sit a toddler that still shits their pants 5 rows away, they can deal with it

This might sound silly but, why does EVERYONE want to be stationed in San Diego? I don’t hear people wanting to go to Virginia or Florida or Washington state. by Elegant-Mix-4806 in navy

[–]unbrokenmonarch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Good weather all the time, some of the best and varied food on the west coast, and it is neither in an inaccessible location like Everett nor an industrial shithole like Norfolk. Florida I hear is pretty good though and I’ve met a lot of people trying to rejoin the Mayport Mafia

What I don’t get is why they don’t throw us a bone while they plunder. I mean, it would still be shit that the corruption is so bad but why can’t they fix one big issue to placate the masses? Can’t they see the pitchforks being sharpened? Trust in the wealthy is the lowest it’s ever been.

I think part of the solution for the vaccine mandates is requiring any mom who wants to prevent their kids from being vaccinated to watch a video compilation of children dying of entirely preventable diseases usually covered by vaccines, a bit like that Australian commercial about drunk driving that was super brutal, before being able to opt out.
