Something tells me that unlike every other role where he makes people jump through hoops every game regardless of how many decades they’ve voiced the same character, he did not make Hideo Kojima audition for the voice.

I’m not bitter or anything, why do you ask?

Luckily, a legal “official act of the president” can work on more than one person.

I’m not saying it’s a great choice, but it is there.

Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.

The keys to GAINING power are not the same keys needed to KEEP power.

They gained the power (or will in a few months)

Now they need to keep it.

If one of the keys needed to get it could potentially turn on you, it’s better for your regime to eliminate them as soon as possible after taking power.

For a better explanation, CGP GREY has a video about rules for rulers, which clears things up quite well: https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs

Nobody sued them over gay leaders.

They got sued by parents over not doing anything about pedos, AND got sued by prospective leaders because they were being prevented from joining over their sexual orientation.

Bill wanted to be a scoutmaster since he grew up with scouts, but since he was gay, he was not allowed. He then sued the organization over it. (idk names, that’s just for clarity)

In theory, I agree. Nuclear weaponry should never exist. The power to erase millions of people with a single push of a button is absolute insanity.

In practice, the world isn’t going to suddenly decide to de-arm itself and dismantle every nuke. So if they aren’t giving up theirs, refusing to make my own over that just leaves me another corpse on the moral high road.

Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a better place had the Manhattan project been sabotaged by the scientists and nuclear weapons were deemed unfeasible. I’d like to think so.

People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.

When I’m depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It’s probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

I think if enough executive orders were signed, Project Sundial could be finished in two months.

Anybody have JBs number? I have a proposal.

I more meant it as “a general strike wouldn’t work”

It’s just a joke about how people “don’t have any guns” because they lost them. Not stolen because they would have to report that. They’re somewhere unreachable that you technically COULD verify, but likely wouldn’t unless there’s a very specific (usually requiring a warrant to get people to move) reason.

So “boating accident” is to goto joke accident. Nobody would actually believe you if you said that to a cop, judge, or courtroom.

Meanwhile, on a ship slightly further away

“HEY, get a load of this! They managed to get something floating, but they forgot to put a sail on one of the masts!, it’s just got a spike on the end! Haha hahaha!”

ship get closer… And closer… And closer…

“Wait… Why aren’t they holding anything to throw or shoot at us?.. They’re getting into a formation near the ma… Wait that’s not a mast. It has rails… Oh… Oh no…”

Hopefully they wore their brown tunic today…

general strike.

Oh you sweet, summer child…

They used to own tons, but sadly since the boating mishap, they’re all at scattered at the bottom of a really deep lake.

Who would have thought that bringing every single one of your legally purchased firearms onto a small boat to show them the world would be a bad idea?

Oh well, no need to look for them.

The Maquis have a lot of good points.

As usual, the mere threat of potential domestic terrorism wins.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists, we hand them the country. And sit quietly when they start destroying things. Like good sheep.

When I get home from work, I plan on smoking every last plant in my house.

If I don’t die from smoke inhalation, at least I won’t care about anything for the rest of the week except snacks.

Historically, it works.

If every country on earth had nukes and delivery methods on par with each other, we would never have to worry about nations being at war again.

Nothing would be left alive on the planet, but we would be at peace.

As long as I have my transporter buffer work, I’m never alone.

It’s not a phaser, but… I’ve thought about it today.

Yes, that’s why I have no arguments against the “no jobs” part.
