That sounds great until you start having food shortages.

It's not bowing, it's that Huffman is a Musk fanboy who fantasizes about being Lord Humungus in the post apocalyptic wasteland the billionaires will create.

You'd think of all things Trump would be concerned with STI's.

prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance or an apparatus into the atmosphere in Florida to affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight.

Huh, this makes the internal combustion engine illegal.

Water is a chemical. Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces water, water when dispersed into the atmosphere creates clouds. Clouds affect the temperature, weather, climate and intensity of sunlight. QED any burning of hydrocarbons is illegal.

Unfortunately, unless the price drops, I'm probably not getting one. I can't justify spending $530 dollars (console plus a game) on a console. While Mario Kart World looks fun, it's probably not half a grands worth of fun.

I mean it's not like I'm hurting for entertainment, thanks to various online giveaways I have a huge backlog of games that I've never played, as well as a homebrewed 3DS and Wii.

I'd be surprised if it was only ketamine.

At least in the US (thanks Reagan) college sports scholarships are the only way some families can afford to send their kids to college.

That was what was behind that caveat in the second half of my post.

Sure being a big strong guy (or gal) who can do sports things with a ball, stick or whatever is a insanely profitable career, but what does it actually do? Nothing. If every professional sports person suddenly dropped dead tomorrow the world would still be the same as it was today. Sports do nothing.

I mean I don't object to contests of skill and physical prowess, but I just find it insane that it's somehow metastasized into this giant billion dollar industry that produces nothing and consumes everything. Like, imagine if people were getting upset about Trans people competing in... I dunno pogs or something because pog games were a billion dollar industry.

Hey now, MAGA's would never wear a mask.

Ah, peak Trumpism. "If we ignore it, it goes away!"

I've always found the moral panic over Trans people in sports weird. Sports don't actually do anything. If some guy throws a ball better than someone else or a woman can poke someone more with a stick it literally has no effect on the world other than what significance we give it.

Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the British government said the United States remains the U.K.’s “closest ally.”

I'm sorry TERF island, that's not gonna keep Trump from stabbing you in the back too.

and the price of bitcoin dropped 4.4%.

I cannot express how much I hate that this appears in a serious economic article.

 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.
