One of the most believable things about Starship Troopers and The Expanse was that the Mormons were colonizing other worlds, ostensibly for religious liberty.
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.

Zaphod had way more rizz
Since I’ve been able to vote, I’ve heard this. But the people in charge of the Democratic Party never seem to want to get people to fall in line. They’re content to be the default alternative to a party that demands rigid adherence.
How are they expected to prosecute the “Biden Crime Family” if they can’t prosecute the Kingpin?
Jon Stewart tearing into the Senate on a daily basis for four years would heal my soul
I like Jon too much to make him president. Trying to get health care for 9/11 first responders aged him a lot.
I miss the goofy man with big ears and graphs
closes blinds
I mean, if there’s not anything I can do beyond dumping a thimble of water on the fire six months from now I’d rather just die happy.
I like this idea. Republicans are desperate to prosecute the “Biden crime family” but can’t go after him because of this ruling. So Biden just has to do a bunch of illegal but non-violent stuff - like openly soliciting bribes - and Republicans would be forced to pass a law.
For that law to be valid, it can’t be targeted at one person - called “bill of attainder” - it would apply to all presidents going forward regardless of who’s elected.
Hoist them by their own petard.
Does it make a Star Trek communicator sound when it opens? Because doing it myself is inconvenient.
The Mongolian metal band The Hu fuse tradition instruments with metal styling and a badass attitude that Genghis would approve of
Also their name is great.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.
Groups with just things we agree with wouldn’t explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.
As evidence, just look how much news about Trump gets posted to liberal places. If you don’t want to hear about him that’s the last place you should go.
I’ve voted in every primary and local election since the year 2000 and had a Kucinich for President bumper sticker and I still complain about the choices because my preferred candidate has never won. Ever.
For nostalgia’s sake I watched a YouTube video of [adult swim] complete with original commercials and bumpers. Even though I specifically requested commercials they were pretty terrible and I ended up skipping them anyway.
To paraphrase Scott Manley; they got the rocket science down but need to work on their bolt science
(Fly safe)
They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
The tale of the B Ark is a warning. The civilization that sent it died due to a disease spread on telephones. All that was left was the worst of them, which became us.
