I'm trying to figure out how you could actually get busted for "illegally" flying a drone unless you did it repeatedly and blatantly, like at an airport or something. Are people out there actually calling in reports, "oh no I saw a drone!"? And even if they did, how do they trace it to you...

Relax, friend, the only solace of the new regime is that we no longer have to be upset about who's casting their "vote", or who they are "voting" for!

Its not just that. Its not just that its entertainment and gratification. Its not like Im 100% work all the time, I have hobbies and waste time on entertainment like anyone. I meant it more as a comment on the very narrow specificity of what's happened, and how different that is from the...

How completely unsurprising that you're one of those people that doesn't understand what the phrase "begs the question" means. That's even more embarrassing than this silly troll where you pretend to not understand the difference between refraction and reflection.

Respectfully, meant without any criticism at all, my experience couldnt have been more different. Reading accounts like this is sort of a twilight zone experience. The great lesson of the pandemic shutdown for me has been - how interesting, it turns out a large fraction of what society spends...

Not to kink shame, Lumi, but this is a weird troll. Even for you.

Thats what you were going with? How boring. Is this tied to flat earth mythology in some way? Claiming that refraction and reflection are the same thing? "prisms are mirrors" lol edit: "bare with him" might have been funnier. I'm not sure.

I'm trying to figure out the end game from this little troll of "lets pretend Lumi doesnt know what a prism is".

lol yup thats pretty bad. I cant think of anything good about that version of the flash. His suit looks like a goddam robot. And his legs move like they arent attached like normal human legs. dunno why effects studios always think superspeed needs sparklies. I don't recall a lot of sparklies...

Have you never watched a woman try to back up? Its funny shit, if you ever get the opportunity to watch when they don't know youre watching. The look of pure confusion.

fell asleep part way through, may finish it someday. The lasso shit is so fucking dumb. I cant think of an appropriate analogy, any other superhero where their signature thing was done so badly. Its like if they did a spider man movie but made the web shooters somehow so gay that every time...

Saw this article that I thought did a good job of expressing the most likely (in my view) answer https://www.universetoday.com/148088/beyond-fermis-paradox-xv-what-is-the-percolation-theory-hypothesis/

I enjoyed this story, and wanted to make sure I understand this correctly. After a night of alcoholic ranting, when she started down a similar path on the second night, you hid her mixer? Not drugs or alcohol, but Coca-Cola? I don't know whether to shake my head or salute.

Like a business instead of a service, what exactly are FedEx and ups, then?

My jimmy rustle is that there are still retailers shipping time-sensitive deliveries with USPS. USPS literally stopped functioning in May-June of this year. I was shipping many packages a week so it was obvious. Like anyone rational I switched to UPS. But somehow a bunch of retailers decided...

It worked in spiderverse specifically because of the multiverse storyline. Race and gender swapping established heroes is fine in multiverse / what-if storylines. Whats fucking retarded is when they try to pretend Batman was always black, Wonder Woman was always a latinx transwoman, or The...

Some of the elements in the beginning of son's books are interesting. The early cyborg stuff. I *hate* how he shoehorned his pulp d-list sci fi garbage into being the main unknown antagonist. I hate how he took every interesting technology or concept in the Dune universe and overexplained it in...

This. NEVER read the shit by Herbert's son. It will taint all your memories of the series and make you hate sci fi itself for a time. They are the worst things I've ever read.

I can't like this comment enough. God Emperor Leto is the reason I re-read these books every few years. He's a concept I've never seen explored in any other book, let alone explored so well.

Movie theater sound systems are one of the best reasons to watch movies at home. The big screen is awesome and has no downsides assuming you get a good seat. In theaters, the sound that is always turned up roughly 5 to 10 times louder than it should be, with the bass cranked to 11, and a weird...

Because of the best selling sci fi books of all time, yes. I read that on a book jacket once. Not gonna look it up and confirm cause it damn well should be true

Oh, it's fried chicken, not wings.

WTF, I knew Chicago fucked up pizza, they can't do wings either? What is that crusty shit all over the outside where the beautiful crispy skin should be? Come the boogaloo, we've got to make sure no one makes it out of that city alive. For the sake of our shared culinary future.

Just admit you hate America, Delicious melty cheese, and Freedom, and be done with it.

I was with you right up to here. Yeah, fancy schmancy cheeses are nice on grilled cheese. But an American cheese grilled cheese sandwich is still delicious.

This is correct

I've never understood this. I'm like, you know you don't actually have to answer every time this thing rings, right? I don't answer the phone if it's in another room. Fuck that, I'll check who it was next time I'm in that room. I'm not on call.

The fact that no one has come back to stop season 8 from being made is a compelling case that time travel will never be invented.

This is a machine's view of humanity, not a human's. Regardless of the precise shape of the population size vs innovation curve, the additional humans contribute in so many other ways that this relationship hardly matters. Each individual can look at their own network of loved ones and...

See, thats where all this post modernism and relativism bullshit gets us. A honking horn doesnt mean different things depending on what the honker feels at the time. A honking horn means one thing. It means "FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKER". If someone is confused about the meaning of the...

Yeah, fuck the USPS. One of our local drivers refuses to get out of her truck to deliver packages, and always has. So she's always just thrown them on the ground in our driveway. Usually close to the house, sometimes not. I have a long ass driveway. Anyway, lately she's taken to pulling into...

SJWs never critically evaluate whether their own actions were successful; its part of the mindset. Everything they do is brave and amazing and on the right side of history.

Ill say it again, wtf Those lacy things are called women's underwear. They're meant for women to wear.

wtf, what mens underwear doesnt have a fly in the front?

Actually I think this would be the funniest way to go. Have someone confront them at the end about it, "what the fuck was up with the Fresca"? "Nothing, its just delicious" About Black Noir. I havent gone back and looked, but when Maeve pulled up his mask for the silly candy bar scene, was his...

I havent gone back and watched the first head popping episode yet, but I'm struggling to find a single (known, revealed to the viewer) common thread between them. Was there a single person present at both events? I can't think of one. The second event was televised so you could argue targeting...

Gotta confess, this is one of the giants of sci fi but I could never get into it. I tried reading the first one several times, just never got into it. Its one of those things where reading the Wiki about it, it sounds it they would be really interesting books, while the actual experience is...

I knew someone would object to that but I stand by it. I've worked with quite a few Germans and really find the language pleasant to listen to. Its obviously very different than flowery languages like Spanish or Italian, but at the end of the day, a sentence spoken in German is a series of...

This. Its a funny thing, the perception of languages that one doesnt understand. German, French, Spanish, Portugese... these are charming to listen to. Almost musical. I dunno WTF theyre saying but it sounds pleasant. There is an aesthetically pleasing quality to the sounds, completely aside...
