Kbin_space_program, to asklemmy in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

There's also the problem that an advanced civilization will seemingly always ruin a less advanced one with contact.

They might be staying away simply because they're isn't a solution to that issue.

Kbin_space_program, to piracy in Sony Steals Customers' Purchased Content - Piracy is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED!

I had a Sony Bluetooth MP3 player that accidentally got through a full washer and drier sequence.

And worked out of the wash for another 3 years.

Their software was garbage, but christ some of hardware was Nokia levels of tough.

The Sony minidisc players were decent hardware, but the app that loaded music onto the discs was completely garbage.

It would set the bit rate down to sub 40kbps(so it looked like you had mp3 Cd levels of storage, and would move the original music files it "loaded" deep into %appdata% to try and hide the originals from you.

Maybe you shouldn't use the "leave Britney alone" dude for that given that what she went through was because we didn't listen to her or leave her alone.

And then Frasier is just that captain's personal holodeck program?

Kbin_space_program, to memes in Is the industry really this creatively bankrupt?

In a word, Yes.

The music industry, like the movie industry and video game industry, wants guaranteed hits. What better way to guarantee a hit than to rehash some old thing that is now more than 7 years old. (And falling!)

Kbin_space_program, to risa in Can we have Darmok?

It could have been cheesily amusing if Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra was made into a run-in the Enterprise show had with the same species.

Kbin_space_program, to asklemmy in Is society becoming more fake ?

Older than that. I, as a layman, suspect it might be one of the points that indicate the development of conscious thought.

Because Chimps, Cuttlefish and Crows can and do lie to each other in the wild.
Chimps will cheat on each other(i.e. a non-dominant male in a group will pair off with a female chimp, but the female chimp remains paired to the more dominant male of the group. Even going so far that the "other guy" will shield his erection from the first guy to avoid a beating.
Large Cuttlefish males will create and defend "harems" of female cuttlefish during their breeding periods. Smaller male cuttlefish are known to pretend to be female to sneak into a harem and mate with them.
Crows will make false caches of food if they suspect they are being watched by another crow.

No French press?

You can follow a specific fediverse user by using Kbin, too.

Kbin_space_program, to memes in The slow decline isn't slow anymore

This. Civil War's final fight scene is hugely overrated. Iron man by that point had tangled with multiple fighter aircraft, dozens of missile armed drones, Thor and more. Goes down to two strong guys punching him.

Even before Endgame, there were some stinkers.

It's one of the reasons why Guardians of the Galaxy was so popular, it changed the formula.

Kbin_space_program, to risa in IT WAS ONE TIME

Boy, she's really haunted by that.

Kbin_space_program, to mildlyinteresting in Oil prices crashed 19% from their peaks—here's why

The problem is that the rich are hiding that they're shit with money and can't pay interest on their loans by jacking up the prices of everything

Kbin_space_program, to memes in What did Canada do?

Canada's Hundred Days. Aka the last 100 days of WW1.

Functionally, Canada won WW1 for the allies.

Being under 10% of the WW1 force, in that period they tackled defences everyone else thought impregnable and shattered them, like the Hindenburg Line, and in the process paved the way for the allied advance. They also took out a quarter of the German forces in that time.

While they did arguably use proto-blitzkrieg tactics of using lots of machine guns, and then also using vehicles to move troops even quicker while using said machine guns, one of the biggest factors was a prodigious use of chemical weapons.

To the point that in the interwar period, Canada had the largest capacity and stores of chemical weapons. During WW2, said stockpile is one of the reasons Hitler refused to use chemical weapons on the allies.

Edit: And a lot of the rules on fair treatment of POWs and rules on capturing surrendered soldiers also stems of Canadian soldiers behaviours during WW1.

Still a whole number, I'm good.
