Having been raised in a religious household and having escaped it later in life to become an engineer/science nerd, while being ostracized by my, incredibly, incredibly disappointing parents because they refuse to learn new things or acknowledge scientific studies that conflict with their religious views:

This answer is unequivocally, absolutely, a 100% correct take on humanity and their need for the “simplistic” and incorrect answers religion gives about the world around them.

Well. Now I’ve got another fear to add to the list.

The double decker is still around, they call it something else, but you can still order it.

Epic also does this

Gotta let the shareholders know value is only paused. More value will be created once we finish abolishing the remaining rights of EU Citizen’s privacy.

Shareholders are always worried about their value. Gotta pause growth. Can’t stop growth. Growth is infinite. The universe is infinite, and so is the capitalism machine.

Looking at the trailer and reading the article, it’s clear they’re going back to the doom 1 roots with the way the projectiles feel like it’s a 2D top down shooter.

That’s the way it’s supposed to feel imo, and I dig the direction they’re heading and the combat definitely felt like oldschool 2D top down shooters were supposed to feel: Dodge everything, never stop firing.

Honestly, just looks like he was captured or saved, and stored in the bathroom until they could figure out what to do with him. He probably got nervous and tried to climb out. They’re insanely strong in certain directions, like, insanely. Wouldn’t take much to pop the toilet off its bolts.

That is a fair point for sure. No disagreement from me.

I 'm with you, truely.

But what you’re describing is just how science works in a world where we’re trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.

As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we’ll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.

1994 Ford Taurus.

I went over a speed hump at 5mph and the whole engine fell out of the front.

Apparently it’s not supposed to do that.

Next we introduce them to the Virtual Boy and make their eyes bleed like ours.

They’re just a corporation.

Which is to say they’re all rotten to the core when it comes to profits.

Dial up internet.

Pagers.

Not being in contact with people 24/7.

Polar Ice Caps.

The difference is that we’re at a point in time with humanity where just one or two rogue humans could end it all.

When dealing with the police, be very, very careful what you say to them directly. Be polite, be patient, but be pithy.

Silicon techno wizard.

I make rocks solve repetitive problems faster than humans, and they can talk to each other anywhere in the world and group up to solve even more complex problems.

I get paid in pictures of cats.

Especially the poop knife.

I like this take the best

Yes. People got to eat.

They’re legit companies, but they do not operate with the goal of profit. Profit is something they may make, and in many cases it’s good so they can survive losses of funding or the like.

It also means they get certain tax advantages because they are not solely focused on profit

How to build your infrastructure with so many redundancies that not even Elon could bring your site down when he randomly started unplugging shit at one of their data centers, perhaps?
