“I don’t understand, if you don’t want crushed orphans, just don’t toss them in the orphan crushing machine”

Well maybe they shouldn’t have an orphan crushing machine in the first place.

“we’re not doing illegal, and no you can’t check.”

-People doing illegal things

Imagine trying to justify thousands of murdered children because some people decided to attack a festival.

An attack, I might add, the government had been informed of and bafflingly did the opposite of adding protection to heavy traffic areas…

Hey they can have my old GPU if they give me a new blank laptop.

I’ve always wanted to try linux

Use whatever wood bits that are left to fashion a few stakes and do what stakes do to the people who cut them down.

Here’s the thing…

Same! I had a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago, but I’m back on my period again with my nonexistent uterus. Phew.

How do they handle the science behind everything? Do they try to use modern concepts and technologies and misunderstandings of how those work, or do they hand-wave it as “this is their technology and they will not elaborate because it’s basically going to be magic to you” kind of science?

I’m not an educated science-ologist (not to be confused with scienTologist) but I do dabble in quite a lot of the astrophysics, geology, etc, as a 20+year hobby, so space-based science fiction tends to rub me the wrong way when they try explain things using modern concepts, but they have misinterpreted or misrepresented things to “make it work”

Treknobabble is 100% okay for me, it’s a technology I don’t understand because it’s too advanced for me and uses concepts only theorized for now.

Or is it less sciencey focused and more “these are the stories of these peoples” anthology type? Both sound good.

Honestly it sounds fascinating, and from the buried synopsis of a few, I think I’m gonna like it. It’s been awhile since I read science fiction, I’ve been focusing on fantasy lately, specifically Dungeons & Dragons-universe books.

How nice of them to cook it for you!

I distinctly remember a few Russian commanding officers this past year and a half that tried to push a group of armed men into doing something they didn’t want.

it did not go well for them.

Well, since nobody is hiding in bunkers waiting for the fallout to dissipate and radiation levels to drop far enough that quick surface travel is survivable, I’m gonna call bullshit.

They may have done a thought exercise like how sometimes you might get super bored and go “what if that old man goes crazy and pulls out a sword” and plan out a fight scene.

There is no “we did a test of our nuclear strike response” because no matter what that plan is, it will not work. No battle plan survives contact with the enemy, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Your nuclear response plans mean fuckall when 80% of the people involved in your test will be dead in under 30 minutes. What is the estimate now? Like 12-20 minutes of warning?

If you stare down literally everyone while walking toward them, and don’t make any move to avoid them, you don’t get to blame them for you running into them.

Similarly, if you smell dog shit everywhere you go today, don’t blame everyone else while your shoe is literally caked in it.

“what non piracy reasons are there”

“If you have nothing to hide then what’s the problem with putting a camera in the bathroom. What non crime reasons could there be?”

Really though, if you’re technically proficient enough for torrenting and vpns, you’re proficient enough to convert to newer formats, too.

So even then, it’s really just not that big a deal. Other than being a once-used format for the platform. And honestly how many devices are still functioning that can only use mobi? Heck I have a 10 year old Kindle somewhere that probably has 4 or 5 different formats from about 10 different sources.
