I bring my water bottle to theaters and nobody gives a flying fuck. 98% of the time it is water but every now and then I do bring an alcoholic beverage and nobody ever bothers checking to make sure it’s only water

No, it’s basically the same thing as Carl Sagan’s cosmic calendar

What a terrible website. I couldn’t even read it without it loading ads and moving my screen everywhere

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It’d be something I could turn on/off and choose what’s stats I want to see at any given time

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

You may be interested in The Man in the High Castle it’s both a novel by Phillip K. Dick and TV show on Amazon Prime that explores exactly that premise

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

Ok, that was actually pretty funny. Calling it ugly bastard time stop and labeling it nsfw is effectively misleading

Some more physics things, every planet has a limit on how high the tallest possible mountain is based off their surface gravity, the type of rocks present in the crust, and thickness of the crust. On Earth it turns out that limit is pretty close to Mt Everest’s height. Space is still about 50 miles above Everest so I don’t think humans could build this ramp with our current understanding of physics

If you want to go to space slowly then you can just do what Felix Baumgartner did and take a special type of balloon to get into space. Unfortunately, if you’re not traveling 25,000 mph relative to the surface of the planet, you’re going to fall back to the planet. Just like Felix did

So for physics reasons it doesn’t really matter what technique you’re using to leave Earth. If you’re going to try to go to space successfully, you’re going to have to go a minimum speed of 25,000 miles per hour. That’s called the escape velocity and it’s a different value for every body of mass in space

Is it the primary reason? No, I agree.

However it’s childish and naive to think both racism and sexism were not significant reasons that America, a deeply racist and sexist country, did not choose a black woman to lead it

Look man, as someone who thought Switch 2 mouse controls were a gimmick and has sunk 17 hours into Civ VII, I don’t feel confident enough to tell all these people that they are wrong. If I had been in college and was told people could get scholarships for NASCAR Soccer I would have laughed in your face. Being that cocky is asking to be wrong

You’re correct, those things are avoidable and can be designed around. However hiring the people who know how to do that also costs money and it’s cheaper to hire shitty engineers who do things safely instead of well. We’re not stupid, we’re exploitative

First and foremost it’s bold to put this out before Drag x Drive releases which is just weird enough to become its own thing. Second, even the owner Epic doesn’t even seem to know what to do with Rocket League because they seem to be trying to make it part of Fortnite. Thirdly, esports are everywhere, sorry not all of them look like legacy sports but that’s not a problem for people playing the games

I don’t know about you but the vast majority of bathroom stalls I see do not use wood. They are almost all metal, and keeping metal from rubbing on metal in a high humidity environment seems like a cost saving measure to me

Occasionally I hear people argue it’s so you can catch IV drug users without bursting in. Personally I think it’s that capitalism cares not for your happiness and it’s fractionally cheaper to have shitty doors, and so that’s what people do

Technically? You could install a Switch emulator and run a cracked version. But that’s hardly ideal. I haven’t played it but I’ve heard Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is similar and well received

Animal Crossing (New Horizons specifically) is very similar to The Sims and is all about daily life, decorating, and maintaining a household. So I would imagine that could help with daily vocabulary. It might also give you a weird depth on dinosaurs and fish, but that’s an ok problem to have. Likewise Stardew Valley should be similar

As someone who still browses Reddit there isn’t an AI problem on Lemmy. AI is not so insideous yet that you can’t identify its patterns. AI is still labeled well on here you can choose to ignore it. Just block the communities and move on

I tend to use kanpai as my toast and cheers in place of thanks as an American
