I’d almost prefer if the SEC just kept letting rich idiots dump their money into obvious scams. Good way to redistribute some wealth.

Its not the rich losing their money, its the idiot's in that middle class bracket losing it to the rich.

Room-temperature superconductors and a cure for cancer in the same year? Probably just twitter BS, but keep tabs on that.

I said it elsewhere the other day: a corollary to the Anthroponuclear Multiple Worlds Theory is that as the world gets weirder we'll discover more and more unlikely science. Cancer super drugs, room temp super conductors, FTL. All this stuff that was just in front of our faces the whole time being found out in incredibly unlikely coincidence

There’s probably a 19-page thread in TCC from 2010 with an average 4.14 rating where some poster talks about their experiences with a compound called 5-NMP3s-Dioxide-Ferro-Bismuth-69-DPT-dimethylbenzanote-81, which sets in motion a chain of events where goons discover that heating it to a certain temperature and inhaling it via a balloon gives the user wild hallucinations of the future or times long past. Gradually, this becomes known as “doing the Kessel Run” with posters lambasting others for not doing a high enough dose as “dumping their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.” The thread eventually dwindles off as the most prolific posters abruptly stop posting, leading many to speculate that they’ve OD’d. In actuality, they’ve discovered the first steps toward traveling through time and space, a fact that won’t be realized until archaeologists unearth a new part of the Parisian catacombs and find a slightly newer skeleton wearing a Casio wristwatch next to a much older skeleton with “MY NIGGA HAVE YOU TRIED LSD?!” scrawled on a nearby wall with the ashes of a dead torch.

The bombings were justified and effective. They were only necessary if you believe that minimizing overall suffering was necessary. (So IMO they were necessary)

Ok you had me up until there. Long term nuclear fallout is bad, but rarely lethal. Would have been a lot more 1970's cancer deaths though.

I'm surprised I haven't heard of any protests/demonstrations following the indictment announcement. Weren't they setting up barricades and what not in anticipation of that?

The sort of people who would protest this are the exact sort of cowards that will only do so until they meet even the most breezy of opposition.

I have no desire to ever watch DBZ after trying to watch DBZ. For it being "The Greatest Fighting Manga of All Time!" they sure don't loving fight very much.

4 loving episodes of that rear end in a top hat standing with his hands over his head, while his opponent just did nothing?

Stupid loving show.

DBZ Abridged also makes it quite a bit more sensible and comedic, and takes all of maybe 15 minutes to hit its stride, I think the whole thing clocks in at maybe 10 hours? With most of that being the last bit.

What if you make a "sports and news twitter" where the only "blue checks" were staff verified actual media people. Like Jon Bois.

Some sort of RSS feed, that you could post a nested comment tree on. Tree reply threads are awful and I hate them but people are reddit poisoned and yes I know you can't maintain linear comment BBS style beyond like 25 people per thread.

What I'm saying is balkanize the internet again. Its incredibly cheap to setup the platform, and expensive to get the initial seed of content that people want to see.

The point to having a pass is that you can pop in for 30 minutes at weird times like near closing when there are no lines.

Naturally Disney had to get rid of that type of thing so passes don’t work like that anymore

They came up with Fast Pass as a way to get people on rides while still maximizing the amount of time to get their eyeballs and feet in front of stalls. Then they charged extra for it because the sort of people who can afford to buy realistic lightsabers can afford the $50 pass too.

I was at Disney World in the January just before Covid. Someone else paid for the trip, since it was technically a hosted corporate event. But it was worth every one of their pennies. I did the math out since I'm a nerd and the price of the lodging on the campus was more than made up for by the value of not having to rent a car or pay for gas or wasting time getting too and from the parks and parking. Turns out having functional mass transit in their little city is a huge time and cost saver for the everyday person, what a commie idea!
