I can't wait until eye augmentations become a thing so 2/3rds of the things we see are augmented reality banner ads for dick pills, alternately you could have a billboard that shows dick pills if you're over 18 but spongebob if you're a minor

The best military propaganda was how expertly the writers on Stargate: SG-1 were blowing the Air Force. Despite being space shenanigans through a teleporting toilet they had an official Air Force adviser on staff who would occasionally rein in the Carter/Jack romance if it got out of line with what would be professionally acceptable. The show might as well be one long recruitment video, they even supplied all the P90s and blanks for the cool shooty pew-pew scenes

Things got a bit weirder in seasons 9 and 10 but that's because it was going to be a spinoff show until they managed to wrangle back Daniel "Tree Trunk Arms" Jackson who took over playing the role of "r/atheism moderator"

Ok but Neil Patrick Harris survives by being a very smart boy and therefore not having to be in any sort of danger at all ever so clearly they live in a meritocracy and the grunts who died should have done better in school and learned how to be psychic better :colbert:

I haven't read the book and I haven't watched the movie in like 80 years but was his character actually psychic or was the entire psychic division of the space army just a grift because I feel like you don't need a mind reader to tell you that the giant nearly-immobile all-brain bug surrounded by gun dudes and the corpses of his buddies is scared

the important takeaway from that picture is that there's like 3 of those little clippy thingers on the side of the analog tablet, by far the best temporary bag sealing devices on the market and since he has 3 of them he can close 1 bag of chips and then lose the other 2

Don't need to be pulled out of your car if you were immediately launched through the windshield on impact.

this reminds me of an argument I had with a friend back in highschool, he was saying that a motorcycle crash is safer than a car crash because you get ejected to safety if a semi smashes into you but in a car you're contained within the danger zone due to the presence of a seatbelt and windshield

I've forgotten a lot of things in my life, my birthday, my address, the launch codes, but I will never forget that argument

I would like to combine two topics, making GBS threads and relationship breakdown, into one horrorshow story

I worked with a guy for about 3 months who claimed he was trying to save money so he changed his family over from using toilet paper to using reusable rags that went into a bin next to the toilet and got washed and reused

when I asked him "doesn't washing the shitrags suck a lot?" he said "not really, my wife does it"

if i put a dollar value on my Everquest addiction I had from high school thru college, you figure it was $30 a month (2 accounts for 5 years) and then thousands and thousands of hours. I could have learned like 4 other languages, gotten a part time job, a phD, possibly even gotten laid

yea maybe its not $80,000 in cold hard cash but gaming addiction is lovely and ive been there

the trick was to powerlevel and sell popular classes, back in pop/god era you could crank out a level 65 with all their important aa done in like a couple of days, then you just throw a set of ornate armor on them and you're set because either they were novices trying to pay-to-win in which case the no-drop armor looked good enough, or they were a raid guild trying to fill in a warrior/cleric spot on their roster in which case they didn't give a poo poo about the gear

nowadays all that poo poo is automated though, eq bots have become good enough where most of the people being reported for botting are actually just intensely antisocial weirdos with a lot of muscle memory

its also worth it to put your wipers up if you're running late and you're just blasting the windshield with wiper fluid until there's enough of a visible window to drive with, put them up once you get to work so that the wiper fluid drips down and safely freezes the wipers in place
