"this is the future the left wants under COMMIESOCIALMARXISM!"

dystopian picture of current day late-stage-capitalism in the US

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 16 points 1 day ago

But you see, it's different because the US is only supplying the orphan crushing machine, keeping it running, and making more. It's okay as long as we aren't actually throwing the orphans in ourselves!

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can't be a bad thing?

Maybe for you, I routinely leave mine at home.

You poll them on policies, and suddenly everyone is a “far left extremist” for wanting safety nets and basic standards for human existence.

Former coworker kept saying he was republican, but he disagreed with them on a fundamental level about nearly every social issue, including guns.

He was all for anything and everything about collective bargaining, the workers uniting against management, but god forbid you use the "U" word.

Agreed every day about this social safety net needs expanded, that program needs better funding, more programs like this or that should exist for people in need, but once the dreaded "S" word comes out, suddenly everyone is a commie. Cause you know how socialism is actually communism and all that.

It's okay to admit when you're wrong, you know?

That was at a specific rate though, and assumed you were needing to be present on the digging device.

I've been wondering how much deeper we could make it with the advances in materials tech.

The biggest issues are heat around the head, since it's getting super hot down that far, as well as twisting the bit without warping the shaft. By the time the energy is transferred across that much piping, things tend to get very twisty.

I bet by now we could easily drill into the hollow earth!

"oh a new form of power generation? Sweet! looks inside it's making steam to spin a turbine...."

As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves "holy shit, I'm gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?"

At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.

That's why they scream until they die. They held it in all that time.

Those aren't the eggs I'm looking for.

However, could you assist me in locating a ham?

 

Yes, I'm aware there are "no stupid questions..." but... A quick search didn't bring much clarity.

For context: my wife and I are in our 30s, and as weather got colder in October, we started attending a "coffee and chat" meeting for people learning sign language. My wife is slowly going deaf, and we both would like to communicate normally when she loses hearing completely.

The asl chats were started by some people in an LGBT Pride group, and as such most of the people there are LGBT, and between 18-24. Since the weather is getting warmer, we have been inviting them to go places with us, mostly like IHOP or a local cafe. It is a little tricky to coordinate, since several lack vehicles and transit is basically nonexistent here, and some have mobility issues, but we make sure everyone who wants to come has a way to get here even if it requires several trips in our car.

Last week since it was especially nice out, we decided to have a cookout. We brought vegetarian options since a couple are vegetarian (while I'm sure I am quite competent at making vegetarian meals, I always get super dumb when trying to think of vegetarian dishes I know) and all in all it was pretty chill, with about 8 of them showing up. some had to leave soon after eating, but most stayed to hang out in the park and hammock with our extra ones we have collected over the years.

As we are making sure everyone is situated, has drinks and snacks, and making conversation with different people, a few are having their own conversation and then one looks in our direction, and goes "you two are giving off big crunchy aunt and uncle vibes, very granola" and I just looked a little confused and said "thanks? I think?"

Their tone was friendly, I'd say. Two people said things in agreement, one laughed, nobody seemed upset about anything.

We started setting up around noon, people showed up around 1, and we ended up staying until sunset after 8. Everyone said they had fun and it was super relaxing.

So to the question: in this context, I feel it's meant positively but I am not sure what "crunchy aunt and uncle vibes, very granola" means...

Apologies if this is considered something I should just look up since it really is a "simple question" but it feels like one of those things that has different meanings in different contexts.

 

Unsure if it actually has a title, I just found this on the wall of a library.

 

Which iconic sound is your favorite?

Personally I like the ambient sound of the daedalus in hyperspace.

The sound of a Zat is a close second.

 

No wrong answers. (there IS a right answer though)

 
 

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
