I see my friends just looking at their RC boats and quads and thinking; “Holy shit.”
Thou shalt not create a machine to counterfeit a human mind.

You know, something occurred to me.
Maybe they’re trying to turn the world into a desert to get the planet to produce Melange instead of oil.
I was referring to everyone compatible with me mating with each other not me …
BUT coincidentally I do.
I thought this was me_irl for a moment

TIL about the Kinsey scale. It would appear that yeah, I’m definitely a 0 by the description.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. I’ve heard people say they “always knew they were gay” and “they were born in the wrong body.” And it was things that were just natural.
That’s the only way I can describe it. I’m attracted to women. I’ve always known that, and no matter how hard I try, it’s impossible to imagine non-women to be sexually (and romantically) attractive.
Like there’s just something there that stops it going any further. Like, hell, a woman that visually has a body that can indisputably only be a woman but then talks with a baritone voice it’s instant off (there’s several comedies where this sort of character is used).
What’s cool though is that if I’m that sure about myself, there is no doubt in my mind that other people know what their attractions are, and there is no reason for anyone to doubt a person’s (honest) attractions.

The story of being hit on by a celebrity would be plenty enough for me.

So interesting thing here: both groups were aroused at heterosexual and lesbian stimuli.
The homophobic ones responded to the homosexual stimuli.
The guys were bi. Sort of explains why they argue “everyone chooses to be gay or straight.” Because they have decided they have to.
This also explains the more-frequent-than-i-enjoy conversation about how “no, there really isn’t a celebrity I’d go gay for.”
The meme is “science guy doing science”
The joke is that the DC in “Washington DC” also stands for “Direct Current.” Direct Current is usually stable in a circuit.
What our Punny scientist did is make Washington “Alternating Current.” By creating an oscillating image of the Washington DC buildings.
It’s a very funny shitpost for electronic nerds.

I think you might have missed the point of my story.
Farmers were the engineers designing these things. Because that’s all the kind of farmers there was.
Now we have Factory Factory farms, but there are still some small farmers doing this stuff. We don’t have many true farmer/engineers left. And it’s bad for all of us.

There’s a theory in my family.
You have true farmers, then you have factory farms. Factory Farms are not just for animals. They exclusively produce cash crop, they exclusively optimize profit, they also do hardly any of the work themselves. They’ll be in a combine, sure. But combines are quite literally automatic nowadays, so it becomes a second office where they’re negotiated deals and labor and contracts and taxes.
The true farmers on the other hand? Way back when, before Monsanto and Tyson, farm communities took care of specific jobs for specific farms because one of those farmers found a really good way to do it, or is just much more efficient.
That left a little more time for each of the farmers to work on something they were skilled with, or do a hobby even.
Guess what was a popular hobby amongst farmers? Electric Scale Trains. These farmers also invented and designed and engineered a lot of these tools and equipment, because they had to repair their machines quicker than a service tech could come out.
So you get robust engineering out of a Farmer. Then the Factory Farmer comes in and says “Hey, I got a friend named John Deer who could mass produce these, and the non-presceint Farmer said cool.”
BAM innovations stifled.

21m excess deaths directly attributable to Hitler’s policies.
The Heritage Foundation wants to make that look like a joke. 258,000,000 deaths. Trump got 1m from COVID-19 alone.

But it’s also not in organized open combat. That’s what they want. That’s what they’re desperate for.
But the pigs have to eat something. And they don’t suspect anything wrong with what they eat or drink.

Lizard or something else entirely. I’m not convinced they are human. Like has anyone actually checked their MRIs/X-rays? Do they have human organs? Do they have human DNA? They’re way too anti-human to believe they’re human themselves.
They’re more like parasitic worms

That leaves 193,000,000 bodies they desire to take care of.
Black people are about 48,000,000.
That’s 145,000,000 white people being reduced too. I hope Magats walk with their heads held high to the chopping block.

FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.
And they definitely use it themselves.

I’m not going to condemn or argue about what bugs exist or what is genuinely unfair and what not.
But the desert takes the weak.
I still think they should have put lasgun and shield interactions in.
