  • Good, Disney shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anything Pratchett wrote.

    They probably couldn't fuck up the Long Earth though, the first half of the series was pretty cool, and I love the concept, but the last 2-3 books were kind of a slog.
    But I think Stephen Baxter had more influence on those as he co-wrote the series with Pratchett, and they came out when Pratchett was at the end of his life and really struggling with his Alzheimer's

  • Between encouraging the consumption of raw milk, the anti-vaccine policies, defunding of FEMA, leaving the WHO, and censorship of public health information he's going to wipe out a significant portion of the population.

  • Nostalgia is a nuanced word that takes some thought to explain, and we can't really communicate with them to ask the kinds of questions we need to in order to get that answer.
    But it's well documented that dogs remember humans and other dogs for their entire lives, and that in my opinion does indicate some kind of retrospection.
    Whether they feel it the same way we feel it is something we can't know. But they probably think about it from time to time if it's not overwritten by new memories.

  • Losing a week of profit, two max, isn't going to bankrupt a company, especially if they're not paying out anything for labor during that time. If it does, maybe they should cut back on the avocado toast.
    The place I work for had to shut down for 11 days after an ice storm a few years ago and they paid us our full wages the entire time, didn't go under.

  • No real issues with speed, it seems fine.
    I do have a bit of downtime but nothing unreasonable, maybe 2-3 times a week I won't be able to access it at all for maybe 10 min max but it's not often enough to be a real problem and it could be something on my end.

    Being unable to post from behind a VPN is annoying though, I don't necessarily want my employer to know what I'm doing with my phone on the company Wi-Fi in my downtime.

  • Who's going to run out of food first?
    The people with more money than God?
    Or the people living paycheck to paycheck?

    They would just wait it out until we had no choice but to go back to work, and we'd have to agree to far worse terms than we have now.

    We'd be better off just dragging the rich out of their homes to preheated barbecue grills.

  • Trump won with 31% of eligible voters and 49.8% of actual votes cast, 35% of eligible voters stayed home.
    If even 2% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be living in a very different world right now.
    1 in 3 people sat on their hands and let this happen.

  • Trump is ruling by executive order and no one is stopping him from doing any of it, constitutional or not.
    He'll just issue an executive order to lower the threshold and at best that order gets challenged and goes to the SCOTUS, and we all know what will happen there.

  • 3 days in and out, just like Ukraine.

    It's going to be a shit show when the next president takes over and has to get us out of conflicts with all of our neighbors. I suspect in the end we'll end up losing territory rather than gaining any, and we'll be sanctioned to hell by the rest of the world and paying reparations out the ass for generations.

  • People figured Harris would be the same because that's how the media played it.
    They really pushed the "both sides" bullshit to keep the race close and ratings up. Now they're about to lose their editorial freedom for it. There's gonna be some fat leopards soon.
