Probably a damage control locker.

I always enjoyed the taste of impossible burgers. But i kinda get your meaning. The problem being that there was only one place i know of i could get good vegan food. There was this restaurant in California near base. It was only vegan options and by my recollection, was very popular, you would just go there because it was good, not because we were looking for vegan food specifically.

Such a place dose not exist around me as far as i know, which is a shame because there is no normalization going on.

I don’t know. My scanner keeps bouncing between a Marauder and a Catapult.

Cool

Don’t take this as an actual character of O’Brian. He just had the unenviable position of minor character who commonly did the job most readily taken by ai. The other characters in these don’t escape flanderization for the sake of the joke. In this case Jordi also gets double dunked on for not only making out with holodeck maidens, but with O’Brians wife.

I mean thats soul of the joke.

I disagree

Um don’t feel like the first is particularly rare…

I’m not sure why we need share holders at all. Not sure what function they serve. A business can remain active without the stock market if they produce value. They could innovate and not necessarily be wholly motivated by profit above all else.

I didn’t attempt to. Just saying. You said it wasn’t impossible for government owed news media to dutifully report against the government. Maybe not, but our country’s kinda stacked the deck against that

Ok…. And you assume this will be true… if an American government… who established a Russian asset as president, is attempting to defund private schools so that they can give money to certain religious orgs and push a Christian message, who is trying to privatize the post office, and who refuse to answer to war crimes is a good environment to take control of the news media?

Journalists and editors need to eat. And the problem is if the government gets involved and funds it, well let’s just say that ends badly. Not even the post office is allowed to run without being fucked with by republicans, and then they are somehow forced to turn a profit, when they are also forced to run in a way that is antithetical to making profit based decisions. And now you have the government deciding for the news, what is biased. And no more reporting on government officials that aren’t just puff pieces.

Bummer.

I don’t know, don’t have an instance. If it’s not just an option to still be federated but to opt out of having community posts being featured in all then maybe they should defederate with all of the other ones so they can post terrible things about the people they hate behind everyone else’s backs. Or they can just accept that when someone (even a mod) posts something antagonistic, it’s going to get down votes.

I seriously doubt that vegan posts showing off durian jerky, or even posts about how long cows could live if the meat industry didn’t slaughter them at peak profit efficiency, would be downvoted that much.

Then shouldn’t their space be private, so they don’t show up on all? They are begging for downvotes with how nasty their memes are. I understand their point, but i am sure that my understanding is much better reserved for non jerks.

Fair enough. I’m just going to find something else to think about. Been worked up after unfavorable canidate talk

Uhg and groan. Listen 9/11 wasnt about solidarity between political parties. I mean the event did allow the parties to craft the Patriot act, and sell away alot of our freedoms for the lie of security… but i consider that a bad thing. It’s this attempt to find common ground with the republicans that has got me so upset at this political climate to begin with. 9/11 is in remembrance to those that died, don’t use it for anything political

Almost, but would be funny is if instead of Bane, a female supervillain wearing the pocketed vest. When Batman asks, an annoyed supervillain points out that all the pockets are fake.

How about the companies that cause these don’t get to say whether the poisonous cloud will harm people? Some other body with relevant expertise and no financial ties with the offending company get to make that call. And treat any company who does make claims an immediate pathway to piercing the corporate veil.
