I mean, the US doesn't really get rid of nukes. We just have so many that we can't and don't maintain them properly so they're not viable for any use and then we improperly store some of them because plans for actual decommissions and safe storage of nuclear materials has been at a standstill for decades.

You could probably say that the US has only ever gotten rid of 2 nukes.

The US and USSR let off so many nukes in tests that the world in general became sufficiently radioactive that people stole bits of pre-war shipwreck to make geiger counters out of it because producing steel that wasn't slightly radioactive was quite difficult.

they know where all six are, recovery is just absurdly difficult. aside from that, there's been a number of treaties where both sides dismantled a whole lot of nuclear weapons, with each side allowed to inspect/monitor the others progress.

I loved this movie as a kid, the underground nuke scene was pretty well-made but I doubt the rest of it holds up today, even if this scene is objectively the most hilarious way to kill off a villain.

Also the star's name is spelled Betelgeuse, but it is thanks to the movie that I know how it's pronounced in English (in Dutch you pronounce it as ['betɘlɣø:zɘ] for those who can read IPA).

Late to the party and I can only drink IPAs, but phonetically isn't it pronounced like 'kettle weiss' or am I way off?

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

When my cousin was little, he liked the Harry Potter books/movies. He was telling me the plot of Chamber of Secrets in the way you'd expect any kid to tell you any story, and you gotta pretend to care.

Then he straight-up tells me "Hermione dies" and I thought I was having a stroke.


Edit: I remember it was Chamber of Secrets because Hermione gets turned to stone, so he thought she "died."

I've played New Vegas twice and loved it, but I don't recall any trans stories or characters. How is it that New Vegas ended up being embraced by the trans community? I see it all over Twitter as well. Is it just because lots of trans people play video games and New Vegas is an amazing game? Is it like how the Babadook accidentally became a gay icon?

A handful of terminally online trans people-- pretty sure I know at least one-- are absolutely obsessed with New Vegas and posting about it.

Because LGBTQ+ iconography boils down to "we really like this so it's ours now" and you'd have to be a real sourpuss to go against that, yeah New Vegas is a trans thing now. Sure.

Probably a combination of several factors.The best explanation I've found is this Know Your Meme article that claims it stems from a now-defunct LGTBQ blog making a post criticizing the portrayal of a Super Mutant that identified as female. This sparked discussion in queer spaces that brought the game to the attention of more queer people.

New Vegas also had a pretty good portrayal of gay characters, in that it didn't make a big deal about them being gay. It also let you pick perks to be gay/bi (and I suppose by not picking any of them you could roleplay as being ace) which SA has its own homegrown meme about. Its a small thing, but its something that helps a openly queer person or someone who is struggling with their identity to feel more comfortable.

And finally, New Vegas is just really popular with terminally online people and a lot of trans people are terminally online.

I remember seeing a hilarious rant from someone who didn't know that "confirmed bachelor" was old timey slang for being gay, picked the perk because they wanted to be more of an alpha male, then got confused when a bunch of male npcs started hitting on them.

I'm sorry that trans people like the same stuff you do, I'll be sure to bring up your concerns at the next trans meeting. Maybe we will hold a vote and release New Vegas to the cis so that it can once again be enjoyed by you.

If Rowling hadn’t gone full terf (or at least, hadn’t been so loud and public about it), didn’t she basically have the chance to be one of the least objectionable billionaires around? I don’t think billionaires should exist at all, but amassing that sort of wealth through writing novels or making music or drawing pictures is 1000x better than exploiting labour.
