No worries :)

Man, that's me with elertroweak unification. I didn't really understand the weak force to begin with, so it being unified with another is so far beyond my capacity I just have to call it magic

Aren't the Brits more viral historically? Go, inject themselves into another organism and force it to produce more brits.

That's just what a lamp would ask!

Seriously though, it's a meme thing. It goes in cycles. Sometimes it's beans. Sometimes it's Gowron (glory to the empire!). Sometimes it's people posting about how southsamurai has the most epic beard on the planet. Sometimes it's moths.

He needs commitment lol.

Dude used to go around in character fucking with people. Great guy, just a wee bit bonkers

Ahhhh, I'm old, so don't hold me to the exact year or anything, but fifteen years? Ish?

We knew each other before we were friends, so the exact year is kinda nebulous in my head

Phat-ass hydrogen

Beans! Beans! For every meal!

I don't disagree tbh.

However, in terms of ui/ux it is still the closest comparison that's not wholly dominated by capital drives. Things like WhatsApp have better ui, but I don't think anyone remotely interested in things like signal would use those at all if not forced to it.

Right now, matrix, arcane chat, xmpp, and similar options are better than signal under the hood (supposedly, I don't have the knowledge base to verify for myself), but the ui is anywhere from outdated to outright horrible.

Holy shit!

Forgive me for going off topic, but I gotta ping my buddy, @Jerusalemspiderman@lemdro.id

He's a fellow transmetropolitan fan.

My Spider has the tattoo on his head for real. Used to sometimes do a cosplay of the character.

Yeah, it really sucks that the closest feature parity and ui/ux parity in messengers is proprietary services.

Even signal isn't there. Mind you, they can't offer all the same options by virtue of prioritizing encryption as the default, not afaik, with things like the easier syncing of messages.

I like matrix and it's various apps fine overall, but they are definitely behind in polish and usability features. They just aren't great as a primary messaging option. That's ignoring the difficulty of onboarding people, which is tangential to this, but still relevant since it doesn't matter how great a messenger is if you can't use it with anyone. Since the lack of features and ui/ux issues prevent onboarding, it's a real problem.

My dude. That kind of thinking is exactly why women need their own spaces.

You may not realize it, or have ever examined yourself, but you just expressed misogyny in a mild form here, where you have had every chance to pick and choose how you say things to support your opinion that the reason given for the bans was unjustified.

It's okay for a given group to have their own spaces without intrusion. A gay men's space should absolutely be able to exclude women and straight men. A straight men's space should be able to exclude gay men and women.

The only time having dedicated spaces is a problem is when every space is dominated by a single group. And that's just not the case with a women only space. To the contrary, women struggle to have their voices heard in open spaces where everyone is allowed specifically because men dominate those spaces.

If you, as a man, went and ignored a clearly visible community rule, you absolutely deserve a ban from that community. As well, the fact that you'd blatantly ignore a clearly visible rule in community is a damn good indicator that you think you're above rules, which means that a mod preemptively banning you from other communities ceases to be an over reaction.

So, I'm going to be harsh as hell in this. You stated that you knew the rule and ignored it. That means you're either an arrogant asshole, or a petulant child. Neither of which is a good look when trying to claim a mod behaved badly.

Hmmm, maybe not a rug, but new towels and such? Yeah, I'm that old :)

This might be the exception though.

So far, none of the previous movies were smart enough to go right into a proper FF story without having to dick around with an origin section.

Since part of this movie is also bringing the FF into the MCU as much as it is telling an FF story, if they do it right, it could be exactly the right way to do both.

Leading off with Galactus, you get to see the FF at their best, while also showing their limits. If it was only going to be a series of FF movies, that would suck. But as they weave in and out of future MCU arcs, the chances of seeing this kind of story would go down. So having it be the first FF MCU movie may be awesome.

I genuinely appreciate that offer. I would accept it, but I'm notoriously unreliable in a lot of ways. Not the kind of guy that does stuff intentionally, but I screw up plenty.

When you stare into a piss, it stares back into you

Clip ons, I don't always remember they're on if it's bright out, but I usually take them off

Not because it's douchey, but because it's harder to see.

I think it's just sjw. I tried uploading stuff on other instances and it worked fine, just not to sjw communities, or from this sjw account

Really weird though, I've never had it happen before

Edit: damn! It was temporary it seems

Rudeness is in the presentation, not the fact.

If you say "fuck off", that's rude.

If you say "I don't do favors for people I don't know" or "I don't take requests from strangers" those are neutral and acceptable facts.

If you say "you can ask, but it doesn't mean I'll do it" that's another neutral and acceptable way to address it if you're willing to see what the favor might be, since some favors might me acceptable.

I tend to be willing to hear the request, but only with the caveat that I will most likely not comply. Last time a stranger asked if I could "help them", my response was "I doubt I can, and I might not, but ask away". They asked, and all they wanted was a light. I no longer smoke, but I carry a lighter. So I checked the surroundings and lit his cig

Years ago, I had a patient that lived in a really shifty area, and folks would approach me on my way up to their apartment. I'd see them coming and before they could reach me, I'd tell them that if they were wanting something to not waste their time, but if they were looking for trouble, they found it.

Which was rude in other circumstances, but necessary in that place at that time.

Your response was acceptable in that time at that place. Not necessarily the friendliest way of phrasing it, but sometimes being friendly doesn't go well.

Most people don't have the brain power to actually know what's in their best interest.

At most, they can handle very simple situations.

To really make choices in own best interest, your have to think long term, at a broad scale. Unfortunately, we can't see with certainty beyond maybe a few steps from our present time and place. So we would also have to think out layers of possibility with each decision.

If you can't do that quickly, you're fucked because you'll always be reacting instead of planning. Since even the smartest people on the planet can still only handle as much planning as a chess game takes, we're all fucked.

And yes, I'm including myself as not having the brain power to properly act in my own best interest long term. Being able to see the problem doesn't mean you're immune to it.
