Go punt kick the first fish back into the ocean as it tries to waddle it’s fat ass out of the water.

I know that’s not how evolution works but I can dream… Life would likely be vastly different given such a long period of time with something like that changing either way.

He knew that could be a sound of the future. But he didn’t realize how much the impact would be.

I came here to laugh, not get personally attacked.

Last week I was totally ready to do [thing] and last week me was definitely not thinking about how the future works.

Looks like jeanposting is back on the menu, boys!

Reality is hostile to conservative opinions.

I love when conservatives pull the “you’re not being very tolerant” to me. BITCH I NEVER SAID I TOLERATED STUPID also tolerance of nazis is how you get more nazis.

I knew of two other people on lemmy who lived in my state, and then following the tradition of so many astronauts before us, one of them left due to governmental persecution and fled to another country.

Shout out to all the people stuck in these states without enough funds to leave for a better life.

I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn’t a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.

I want to know how much they’re being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.

They had an app store?

Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot speech hits different depending on what you’ve been consuming lately.

It can be quite inspiring, or quite depressing

Every single thing experienced by all 100ish billion humans who ever lived, all their highs and lows, all the people they knew, all their hopes and dreams… Could all be destroyed at the speed of light, and we would never have any way to see it coming, or stop it even if we did.

An asteroid could make the planet inhospitable to all but tiny organisms. A Gamma ray burst could pop off dozens of lightyears away. Coronal mass ejection burns the atmosphere. Rogue planet/black hole. False Vacuum decay could destroy baryonic matter.

Your entire life will be experienced, you live and die, and the universe at large will never even notice.

Some people find that depressing. I find it a little comforting. If nothing we do matters, we have to figure out how to make things matter to us. I uh… I’m still working on that last bit… But it’s a nice thought to me.

I thought showing off my own kobo and library of books that I can let anyone I want read would convince them.

Nope.

Oh well

Indeed.

I even sent them the related news articles about content I’ve had removed from my own devices, and still they don’t seem to care in the least.

So I sent this to my parents, as they’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands on their Kindle books.

They don’t really care. Zero interest in DRM-free backups that I can make them. They don’t think it’s an issue. They trust Amazon to not mess with their books, and that they’ll always have access to wifi and kindles.

As an American midwesterner, I support the effort to buy California, and will be making my way to the state border to finally move to a better country.

If you’re giving your printers arms and fingers, that’s on you.

Do you keep a gun next to your printer in case it makes a noise you don’t recognize?

That’s the mark of a true cs student/programmer/software engineer

The hardware guys have it easy.

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se

Here we are safe

Here we are free

Yeah, my dogs will be gone by then so I would absolutely set up a tent close enough to catch it. I’d even bring a baseball glove for shits and giggles.

Project Sundial can still make a comeback.

by the time it gets here

Can we move the timetable up?

Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as “paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash”

I didn’t know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it’s under the veneer of knawlege.
