Yeah at some point in future space tech it becomes a trolley problem where not curing genetic disabilities is as much of a non choice as pulling the lever.

The thing is, Star Trek was a show set in the far future trying to teach us morals about the present. And unfortunately for us, we don’t have space communism so if the choice is between accommodating for birth defects and an ineffective, corruption-prone, dubiously safe eugenics program the choice is a lot easier. They have to communicate the morals of that on the show and it creates a hole in logic.

There’s also a head cannon that the “eugenics wars” that they reference in the show has actually warped the morals of the society they’re in for the worse as any discussion of pre-natal intervention is illogically taboo.

I’d also like to see that list. I’d also like to see how hobby preference lines up with what hobbies the person with that preference has themselves.

I wish that xkcd script could be true.

I just started a job getting paid monthly. The thing is, my first check at the beginning of this month was only for about a week and a half so I got no 🦍🛋️ this time around.

How is Trump being trolled by this?

Why do I want to catch it? It’s going to Greg on the other side of the house.

The classic “I just want a normal body” and the normal body they’re talking about is one on TV that takes a full time job to maintain.

Gun! Where we shoot the people who break the beige box where the magic happens.

I kind of thought this was the joke. Many many dystopian plots are about governments ran by corporations and filled with foreign spies.

It’s always funny when these dense contrarians completely bowl over the point of the person they replied to and respond to a non-sequitur showing that they’re uninterested in anything resembling a conversation.

The onion was overshadowed because it stuck to an old media style and had a clunky adaptation to the internet. They’ve got good content now with things like Click Hole and some YouTube content but it was many many years of trying to be an online newspaper and nothing else. The saving grace of The Onion and why it’s able to come back as strong as it has been is that it’s the holy grail for comedy writers so it still gets the best writers in the business.

This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

Well for one thing, it would go to a 7.5% decrease not sure where you split the hairs on that and as I mentioned that would be in the best case scenario where every last one of those 5 million votes went to Harris, which they wouldn’t. Comparing any of those to a .75% change makes it nuts.

DnD somehow tries to sell itself as a combat simulator. And yeah, it’s combat system is more fleshed out than many other roleplaying systems, but at the end of the day a lot of the combat interactions are down to the DM to decide so it ends up being a normal roleplaying game with the occasional stumble into a waste-deep muck or rule interactions for what ended up being almost no reason.

“everyone talks about how “hard” they’re working and grinding.”

Oh yeah? Who? Im willing to bet that everyone in the toxic “self help” podcasts he listens to talks about how hard he should be grinding while the people at his office live normal lives.

I get what your saying and I agree, but it’s funny/sad that you could add all 5 million of those votes to the Dems and the graphic would still be making the same point.

Theres more than one clip (I think by Some More News) of him stopping mid-sentence while reading as he realizes the article completely debunks the point he’s trying to make and passing it off like it still made his point.

Yeah I just stick to hot railing fentanyl if I have a headache or something. Much less addictive.

It’s that good good

My cat would sweetly give me a nice hug with his claws and mouth.
