The system leaves us with a binary choice. Even the third "option" of inaction is essentially leaving it up to fate at best, and at worst is just handing the controls over.

The room you're in is sealed, filling with water, and you can access a snorkel or a fire hydrant.

In this instance, the moderators specifically refused to be fact checkers and declared that fact checking would be left to the candidates. It was a bit of a missed opportunity that Biden didn't refute more of Trump's falsehoods.

I'm afraid all we can say for sure is that it's not a caterpillar.

I don't think so. It requires at least some inherent knowledge of tape decks, that they have "head" readers and that those need cleaning.

This has actually been a top result when searching clippy on Google since before the AI debacle

Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?

Fundamentally I agree that work shouldn't need to be a priority in this situation if the individual doesn't want it to be, but this is like basically the optimal scenario. I wish more companies respected their employees' time and strictly valued results over the appearance of business.

50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away

👍

I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It's a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That's impressive.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales x BNA. Of all the superheroes this is probably one of the best crossovers, being a city-bound teenager with animal-themed powers grappling with the establishment.

Haha, because it's in c/autism

I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

I heard something similar; the studio didn't think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to "battery". Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.

Cynicism is a symptom of a broken system that either breaks promises or fails to meet needs.

You're talking about nihilism, not atheism. Atheism does not preclude humanism.

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

Haha, the whole image is what was generated, including the monitor and surroundings.

My boss's favorite saying is to just make logical decisions.

I can't take him/her seriously because he/she is a Mormon and that's the least logical decision you can make.

The ramblings of an absolute madman. This is what they've been demanding your respect for.

Unfortunately it's burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.

One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances... Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).

A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.
