Factory farms often employ a process called debeaking to reduce deaths of chickens. You see, when chickens are kept in cramped enough conditions, they start pecking each other to death from the stress. Debeaking prevents stress-motivated murder. The stress is still there, the chickens still hurt so bad they want to kill each other, they just can’t because they don’t have a beak anymore.

Travel between the east and west of Australia is made difficult by a lifeless expanse called the Nullarbor Plain. In America, long haul travel is supported by the truck stops, which I understand to be huge complexes involving McDonald’s and sometimes even entire malls. In Australia, it’s a little different. Truckers and travellers are supported by the noble establishments known as chip shops. They sell chips. Sometimes with gravy. And there is always a shaker of chicken salt on a little table next to the door. And if you want some protein in your diet, then you can instead order one of Mrs Mac’s Famous Beef Pies. Make sure to get a little squirty pack of tomato sauce. Many people have claimed certain things as universal Australian experiences and been wrong. Chip shops are the UNIVERSAL Australian icon.

There are chip shops on the Nullarbor Plain, but they’re not connected to an electrical grid. Which means that until recently, you couldn’t drive an electric car from Adelaide to Perth. But you can now. They installed electric car changers. And what powers the chargers? Why, a biodiesel generator that runs on waste oil from the chips.

Everything old is new again.

Why would there be burglars in a post scarcity communist society, genius?

You’d like Doctor Stone.

Senku is an incredibly smart high schooler who wants to be an astronaut like his dad. Instead, every human being on earth is turned to stone in a flash of mysterious green light. Six thousand years later, Senku’s body breaks out of the stone. He’s all alone in a world with no people, no technology, and no society. Fortunately, Senku has the power of science on his side. He vows to sprint up the technology tree and accomplish in his own lifetime what took humanity 10,000 years the first time around. He still wants to go to space.

Episode 1 has a rape scene.

What makes you think humanity has a natural state?

If you run always-on cameras in thousands of teenage bedrooms, you will get child porn.

wiretapping which I think is the highest possible charge

Wouldn’t the highest charge be all that child pornography they intentionally created?

Because technology 🅱️roke

You’re really good at writing compelling fiction.

One time I posted a meme on Blahaj in which someone named [email protected] was attacking a trans person. Ada sent me a message about it saying I was attacking a real trans person. There is no real trans person named Obvious_Troll. I made up that username for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll, because they were from Hexbear.

Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans

Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart always gets a laugh from me

Your empathy for women is impaired by a false assumption. You imagine that you can simply put yourself in the same position with the appropriate change in roles and understand how a woman should feel in that situation. But you’re wrong. You’re ignoring how a lifetime of oppression creates a context that changes a person’s interpretation of a situation. You can’t just imagine the situation being reversed, you have to imagine an entire life being reversed.

Only a filthy Star Wars nerd would want to use hyperdrive!

/uj Star Wars has some good and interesting themes, and none of it has to do with FTL technology. If you want a superior version of the same technology with more depth and dramatic implications, look at Halo. If you want what George Lucas was trying and failing to plagiarise, look at Dune. If you want to arbitrarily move around at whatever speed the plot demands or instantly, look at Stargate. And if you want a military fantasy, look at Star Trek. Hyperdrive is an inferior compromise between all four of these better written FTL techs that fails to execute any one idea well. Which is perfectly fine, because Star Wars isn’t about hyperdrive. It’s about taoist/buddhist philosophy, political commentary on fascism, and the power of individuals in the face of overwhelming systems and impossible odds. None of that has anything to do with how fast a ship moves, the hyperdrive is just a plot device that lets us skip the boring stuff and have more of the stuff Star Wars is actually good at.

The little one is impulse power, the big one is warp speed. Press both for Stargate.
