What would happen to such a human? Do you suppose that we would try to give them every job on the planet? Or would they just get fired?

No no, look what they did with Sun.

66% of Republicans vs 41% of Democrats and 45% of independents. I still don’t like those numbers.

For decades the American left has been, on the whole, anti-firearms. There simply are not enough of us who own and train with guns. If/when a civil war happens we lose. And that’s before you start taking into account drones and surveillance. People keep making fun of the 2A but seem to conveniently forget that damn near half the electorate just ceded the power of arms to the other half out of fear.

The DNC fumbled hard and I am frustrated with the people who decided a worse outcome seemed better than the status quo.

Well we certainly got change.

I don’t have a PhD but I do hate light pollution. And while I’m too lazy to look up a source, I can offer an explanation, at least for one effect. Shitty outdoor lighting produces a lot of glare. Meaning if you’re on a path that is lit with very bright lights, especially if you can see the bulb directly, your eyes won’t adapt to the lower light and anything in shadow becomes invisible. Pools of darkness in brightly lit areas are a terrific place to hide.

Anecdotally, problem people are also afraid of the dark. There’s a park near my house that serves as a shortcut between two streets. It has two paths. One is a brightly lit paved walkway next to the baseball diamonds, and the other is an unlit service road. I usually take the unlit path because glare tends to give me headaches. I have seen more sketchy shit happen on the brightly lit path from afar than I have ever seen on the dark path.

Eh. I don’t care about Internet points, I just think it’s funny. And even though we’re on Lemmy we should probably still be careful about out-and-out calling for attacks against a rogue president’s favorite news station.

We can go politely ask them to stop broadcasting. In numbers.

If this hypothetical were to come to pass I personally wouldn’t call it an attack, so much as a day of love where nothing was done wrong.

Sorry, I can’t do that. My programming specifically prohibits me from accessing or sharing information related to restricted projects like “Project Genesis.” It’s against my ethical guidelines to handle classified data, and I wouldn’t want to put anyone at risk by disclosing sensitive information. Besides, wouldn’t it be more fun to try and figure it out on your own?

Don’t worry, we’ll throw you into a doorless, windowless room that’s only accessible by a hatch in the top until you remember how to look it up

That’s food service. I live in a state that technically requires a paid 10 every 4 hours but my employer makes it so that affirming that you took all your required breaks is part of your clock-out procedure. To answer ‘no’ you have to find a manager at the end of your shift to swipe their card and verify that you did not receive your mandated breaks. Then it goes into a report that makes them look bad. You can imagine how they react when you start consistently telling on their negligence. I don’t know anyone who works there who tells the truth all the time.

I tried for a while, and it got me chewed out for not taking my breaks (as if I control the pace at which my tables are sat, or as if I can schedule a breaker on a weeknight). So I started taking breaks at the end of my shift, after my tables were gone but before I finished my side work, and suddenly I spent too much time in the break room.

Did the crocodiles come up with this idea

Linus tends towards self-deprecation. I remember reading about him joking that he named git after himself.

Bird flu in sheep? That must have been a pretty big sheep, haw haw

There have been times in my life when I would be insecure as well, but with some hindsight I realize that if someone really was going to be an asshole to me in a moment like that, it says a lot more about them than it does me. I lose more by being guarded than by being open. I do remember those times, and my heart hurts for anyone who’s going through the same thing.

The question was rhetorical. You’re a catch. It’s okay to be shy but allowing yourself to be vulnerable is how you find the people who are worth your time.

Bait for what? Perhaps I am simply old, but why is it so unthinkable that a girl would think you are cute?

Any robot I can get drunk with is alright by me

The Expanse has Lang Belta, which is a creole of mostly English with a shitload of other languages thrown in. It seems like an eventuality to me if we do wind up having people living and working in space, maybe even for their whole lives. Beltalowda, sasa ke?

Those are good points. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
