Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.

Poll question: do you believe in a deity

Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no

Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.

Should hold the same penalties as a poor person’s fraud.

It’s insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think “I’m good to go on an all day woodland adventure!” with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.

I’ve actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they’re complaining about being cold when we’re in the valleys…

“no you don’t understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!”

“Oklahoma AG Condones Elder Abuse, Police Brutality”

Fixed the headline

Oooh, nice interrobang.

Yes, but now they can’t say they didn’t know it was in there.

And they can’t say “I voted for it because the rest of the bill does good for _____”

So it would help prevent them from keeping their mask on

And as we all know, if the military goes without approved funding limits, it completely breaks down and becomes useless overnight.

Sure would be nice if every single citizen of the united states gets to personally bitch slap every member of congress, presidential cabinet, vp, pres, etc… When a completely unrelated thing gets shoved into a bill.

There is 0 reason an (hypothetical) infrastructure bill for new sprinklers in hospitals needs to include a provision that Wisconsin dairy farms get a new milking machine. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. So why are they in the same bill.

If you want it to be a bill, put it in its own separate proposal.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it’s like “Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we’re just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way.”

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn’t.

I don’t remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box

“while not criminal”

Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

In my neck of the woods, we call that “domestic terrorism”, but they freely admit that to the world:

Lol the people arguing about “evidence” and “investigations” are completely missing the real point, IMO.

If you or I were up on these charges, investigation, trial, and sentencing would be carried out in less than a month without hesitation or issue as far as the government is concerned.

The ONLY reason it’s taking longer than that is because of who it is.

Full stop.

“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

I’ve checked for the Azure Gate Bridge and whether green lights mean go, and so far I don’t think we Slid anywhere but keep your eyes peeled.

From a certain point of view, you are 100% correct.

From a different point of view, he’s a person with meat and blood held together with a fleshy bag thing, and propped up by calcium sticks. Or “inefficient bag of mostly water” if you wish.

Not everybody is useful. Every body can be good fertilizer.

Fertilizer for a field.

but provides no evidence of wrongdoing

So surely it will be rejected and nobody being sued will even need to show up since nobody even has any evidence?

Surely…

Don’t care how they got it.

Unethically, probably illegally.

Five) is a good one. Like “oh shit… I fucked this one up too much, I guess I’ll see how it turns out but I’m gonna start over with a new batch”

I’d love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they’re spending time with their new family creation.

六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.
