Remember Trump every time he’s weighed in on something, like suggesting injecting people with bleach, or putting powerful UV lights inside people, or fighting Covid with a “solid flu vaccine” or preventing wildfires by sweeping the forests, or suggesting using nuclear weapons to disrupt hurricane formation, or asking about sharks and electric boat batteries? Remember these? These are the types of people who are in charge of businesses, they only care about money, they are not particularly smart, they have massive gaps in knowledge and experience but believe that they are profoundly brilliant and insightful because they’ve gotten lucky and either are good at a few things or just had an insane amount of help from generational wealth. They have never had anyone, or very few people genuinely able to tell them no and if people don’t take what they say seriously they get fired and replaced with people who will.

Also market share != number of users. The number of internet users worldwide in 2009 was about 1.7 billion, this year it is passing 5.5 billion, many of them with multiple devices.

Need For Speed Underground 2 I would list as a solid GOAT for the genre of open world arcade racing.

I mean, yes but have you had good overnight oats? So good!

F16 delivered?

Do optical disks degrade if protected from the elements? A stack of Blu-ray disks could store quite a bit.

To be clear, both will drag you into a back alley and pull a shiv on you though.

Nah, I’m sure it’ll be sorted by class of vehicle and will therefore just push trucks to be bigger to count as a larger class of vehicle.

For the record, the law of declining virulence, while still referenced a lot, has been disproven and was never a real scientific theory, just one scientists educated guess that took off.

Ah yes, renowned torture activist

Science is cool, it is only pretty recently becoming possible to do in a reasonable manner thanks to the huge advances in understandings of nutrients and plant based foods.

I think discussing the emerging field of plant based and synthetic replication of a carnivores diet using real research is pretty clear cut not animal abuse just because it can be animal abuse if not done carefully and because you say so. (Also, I’m not a vegan and I have never fed my cat vegan food, you guys are just obnoxious though)

Ok, I’m a literal butcher but citation needed. You’re just being obnoxious (and this isn’t even the topic of this thread)

Online PUA culture really.

I don’t love the difficulty of extremely fast individual identification but there is something to be said for the ease of extremely fast collective identification, it makes it very easy to see which group of apps each app belongs to, which is also valuable.

I was hoping I’d see nighthawkinlight in the wild here.

That is literally what they’ve done for many, many decades, let the settlers expand and antagonize, then send in the military to protect the innocent civilians living on Palestinian land.

Dude, settlers =/= all Israelis, they just have way too much political influence and are tolerated way too much. Think the proud boys/3%ers/border patrol vigilantes if Trump had won another term. Way too powerful, way too much influence, and way too encouraged, still not reflective of every American or even a majority.

I don’t even follow the sub lol, it just hits my front page anyways, y’all are great though.

I know this is NCD but ability to make a dirty bomb or deploy WMDs on the battlefield or in strategic theater use is not at all the same thing as MAD. Iraq had no space program, no long range strategic bombers, no nothing of the sort. (They also didn’t have WMDs at that point in time though so…). The concern was that Iraq could use WMDs to harm its neighbors, its own populace, or to enable terrorist groups to use smuggled WMDs. Even the WMD tipped SCUDS Iraq used to have were no real threat to the US troops.
