No one going to bring up the fact that adobe is an anagram of abode?

They got their abode with adobe! This is no coincidence! I’m inclined to say this goes all the way to the top!

SnipingNinja,

I recently read about an Adobe alternative called abode

Custoslibera,

Ok I woke up the gimp, now what?

qjkxbmwvz,

I “forged” documents with gimp once — needed to print out and sign something for a wire transfer when I was abroad. I pasted in my signature and sent it back, but they said it needed to be print out, scanned, and sent back. So I opened it in gimp, added noise and rotated it by a degree or so to look like it was scanned — and they accepted it, no questions asked. So…I forged my own documents.

Banking in the US is sometimes a bit humorous. (Meanwhile, in the country I was staying, at the end of the night someone picked up the tab, wrote down their bank account number, and said “transfer me $XYZ thanks” — was pretty great.)

Good idea, thank you

To be fair Janeway wasn’t around at the time, so they didn’t have any examples of genocide to go off of.

Texas_Hangover,

Didn’t Sisko wipe out a whole planet because fuck you Eddington?

mosiacmango,

He just made it uninhabitable by humans. Not exactly the same as wiping it out, but since it forced displacement of a whole planet, it was genocide.

possiblylinux127,

I think genocide requires death

Cypher,

It doesn’t, according to the actual definition.

possiblylinux127,

Good to know

I would love to see the source for that. e.g. Oxford Languages says

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

frezik, (edited )

The dictionary isn’t a legal framework or international organization. The UN has a convention on genocide:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Item (c) comes the closest to what Sisko did, but he did it in a way that gave them a chance to get out, so it’s not a perfect match. Forcing conditions for removing a group probably wouldn’t qualify under any of these. That said, it can be a factor in Ethnic Cleansing, but the Maquis aren’t really an ethnic group.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Why not Phlox?

TheGrandNagus,

Phlox, Janeway, Sisko

Damn. Lots of genocide from the good guys.

There’s supposed to be one in your account settings

logicbomb,

I forget where I heard it from, but somebody said that it’s strange how we believe that if we go back in time and make a small change, it will have a huge effect on the future, but we also believe that making small changes today won’t make any difference in the future.

I just want you to know this is one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read, and it came from a random comment section from an ok comic strip. So much so that I upvoted it once I saw it and came back hours later just to save it.

It’s land ownership laws that’re fucked. Here’s the original game of Monopoly before it was stolen by a capitalist- The Landlord Game, a teaching aid for workers to understand why land owners are the problem. It’s a pretty old problem.

Cowbee, to memes in Which pill do you choose?

Blue. No mistake reversion or bitcoin investing would outweigh possibly never meeting my partner again. With Blue, I have everything I could ever want from this life, with red, I may lose everything important to me now.

LaLuzDelSol,

Reminds me of the plot to Shrek 4, where he has to find Fiona and get her to fall in love all over again.

cactusupyourbutt,

what if you didnt restart life in the current time but went back in time when you were 6?

Cowbee,

Still a massive chance I would never meet my partner.

fatboy93,

For $10M, I might just retire, buy a house and raise my kid.

Sure beats having to struggle at work.

Cowbee,

Absolutely. Anyone who would go back in time purely to make more money is a fool if they think having more than 10 million dollars would make a tangible difference on their quality of life. Who cares if you make a billion off of bitcoin? For 10 mil you can be extremely comfortable and don’t have to relive some of the most awkward years of your life. Only way it would be different is if your choices got someone killed or something.

psud, (edited )

More than 10M gives you the ability to change popular opinions, spur good industries, kill bad business

Enough more lets you hire people who can help spend the money effectively

ChewTiger,

That’s a brilliant way to answer.

Sekrayray,

That was my thought too. Too risky.

JackbyDev,

So true. My wife and I are high school sweet hearts but also both very different people now. The boy she fell in love with initially I couldn’t properly emulate. We were deep into Christianity and even met at church. We’ve since both lost our faith. I wouldn’t be able to pretend without her seeing through my bullshit.
