And if anyone is wondering why there’s no “end sarcasm” indicator, it’s because the sarcasm should be so fucking obvious that no one currently alive on this planet with access to the internet should be able to misunderstand it.

Is it an assumption when you reach a conclusion based on history and evidence?

TheLowestStone , 2 months ago

You’re funny. There’s nothing even remotely pro-Russia in my post history nor have I made any effort to convince anyone not to vote.

I just think our country is fucked because of… well, pretty much everything that’s happened over the course of my life.

Modest? That sounds like an excellent proposal!

TheLowestStone , 2 months ago

I think that was meant to be tongue in cheek. The article also says:

There are, however, no plans to introduce studies of the dark arts or satanic rituals to any classroom. The Satanic Temple champions Satan not as a literal, omnipresent demon, but as a symbol of rebellion and resistance to authoritarianism. It says its strategy here is to highlight flagrant violations of the constitutionally protected separation of church and state.

Yes, that is the joke.

Pretty sure they just said it outright.

I think spiritual vs religious can be an important difference. Generally speaking it’s organized religions that are causing major harm not the individuals who believe their is something beyond our physical reality.

TheLowestStone , 2 months ago

Isn’t manipulating and preying on the gullible the main way that religion causes harm?

Gulliblity isn’t binary. I’d argue that those buying into organized religion are more gullible than people who identify as “spiritual.” If I asked you to rank people from least to most gullible based only on their religion, would you not rank a person that considers themselves spiritual but not drawn to a particular church higher than a member of a pentecostal church that regularly attends faith healing events?

Finally, this part is anecdotal but, the majority of people I know that consider themselves spiritual but not religious are people that attended one or more churches for a while but questioned or took issues with parts of those churches teachings. They may believe that there is some form sky daddy watching over us but, by they have displayed a degree of critical thinking. I can’t present concrete proof that sky daddy isn’t real so, as long as they aren’t using that belief to cause harm, I see no reason to immediately distrust someone simply for considering themselves spiritual.

They review hundred of hours of hidden toilet cam footage. How else would you investigate?

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

I think a better way to phrase that might be: I’m not going to trust a cocaine addict who tells me that cocaine is a safe and healthy alternative to my morning cup of coffee. I would like to see those findings peer reviewed and replicated by people that don’t have a vested interest in making access to cocaine easier.

For the last 10 years when I’ve been asked about my career goals during job interviews I always respond, “I would like to retire.” I then clarify that I don’t mean tomorrow, next year, or even 5 years down the road. I just don’t want to die a wage slave.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

I don’t say the wage slave part outright like that. I say the part about retiring with a smile like I’m joking but then use the opportunity to point out that I think about and plan for the future and that I’m financially responsible. Then I ask about the company’s benefits package.

Covid made thing weird for a while but my career has had a generally upward trend. My current job is a pretty serious step up for me in both salary and benefits and has a pretty clear path for future progression. I lost out on some of the creativity that I enjoyed in prior positions but I gained more free time to engage with my hobbies.

I’d say it’s been working for me but your mileage may vary based on your delivery and what kind of job you’re interviewing for.

Yet another fake currency for drug dealers.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

“Fake money for drug dealers” is just a general crypto joke from a meme I saw here on lemmy. It just so happens that the flavor of fake money that you fell in love with actually is for drug dealers.

You’ve got me curious now though. It’s apparently important to you to keep the details of your grocery purchase completely private and that’s totally fine if it makes you happy. I don’t need to understand it to accept it. What I want to know is how far do you go to protect that privacy? Do you give Instacart your neighbor’s address? Do you use a fake name?

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

Lol, yes I do know that. I’ve spent quite a few US dollars on drugs myself.

I really was just joking. I’m not judgemental about privacy, drugs, or most things really. I also realize that ALL money is fake money that only has value because we have agreed that it does. If the topic had been short term rentals instead of crypto, I’d have made an “illegal hotel chain” joke instead.

Also, If I offended you I’m sorry. I hope you have a good night (or day if you live far away from me).

But, in exchange they pay to maintain it and the DoD can take it back any time they want.

It’s so heavy that it destroys most rural roads, can’t be driven across most bridges, and it’s too big to maneuver safely in most urban areas. The department, aka the taxpayers, still have to foot the bill for gas, repairs, and maintenance as well as refitting it for police use. They can cost up to $70000 to refit which is already pretty damn close to the price of a fully loaded Tahoe. The department is also responsible for the cost of shipping the MRAP which can cost up to $150000 to airlift depending on the model.

There is literally no benefit to the police having these unless they regularly deal with land mines in their jurisdiction.

A semi weights 10000-25000lbs. A Maxpro weighs 28000-32000lbs.

All of this information is publicly available and easily accessible. Maybe try doing 30 seconds of research.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

Which is higher 20000 or 28000? The trailer isn’t really relevant since spreading the weight over additional axels makes it significantly less likely to damage roads.

Speaking of which, Texas roads have a single axel weight limit of 20000 lbs and a tandem axel limit of 32000 lbs. Under normal operation, a semi should be fine. A Maxpro can potentially reach the the tandem axel limit on its own and could put it’s full weight on a single axle if it his a speed bump going too fast.

Also, many rural roads and smaller bridges won’t accommodate a full size semi with or without a trailer. They certainly couldn’t handle the even heavier Maxpro.

Unfortunately most American voters lack a conscience, so it’s not going to happen.

If you actually want to attract people to your cause, you may want to consider changing your tone. It could also be beneficial to mention some positive things about the candidate that you recommend instead of just bashing the current regime.

Oh no, you’re making a difference for sure. You’re absolutely pushing people AWAY from the green party.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

You’re correct. I’ve never heard this anywhere else and I literally took video game history classes at a college that is partnered with Nintendo of America.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

Your link agrees with me. It started as a "Mario-style tech demo not a Mario franchise game.

TheLowestStone , 3 months ago

Except it wasn’t a Mario franchise game. It was a tech demo of a “Mario-style” game featuring vertical scrolling.

And my video game history teacher also worked for Nintendo in the 80s. I also had a teacher who worked on the original Tetris. I believe them over a random stranger on the internet.

Wouldn’t the friction from half of the moon entering the atmosphere generate enough heat to set most of the east coast on fire? I remember one of my teachers telling me it would but it definitely wouldn’t be the first time one of my teachers was wrong.
