Echoes of when the Long Island Iced Tea company rebranded to “Long Island Blockchain” back during that particular craze.

Why does this meme seem to indicate that humanity has already had a nuclear war in the past?

It looks like a Facebook game, ngl.

The pinching of the cytoplasm when it starts to split in mitosis is known as cleavage.

I feel like that’s pretty meaningfully different from the original claim that the US government allows cigarettes to be advertised to children.

Didn’t they close up the loopholes in advertising regulations that Juul exploited?

What? Tobacco is like, the one thing that actually has extremely stringent advertising regulations in the US. When vaping products like Juul came around, they were able to exploit loopholes in those laws, but I think those have pretty much been patched up by now.

In the context of the 1st Amendment it’s not illegal censorship, as private entities aren’t bound by the 1st Amendment in their own private spaces in the same way the government is. But in a more general sense you are correct, I think my brain just strongly associates accusations of censorship (in a US context at least) with accusations of 1st Amendment violations. I’ll adjust the phrasing.

The moderators of online communities have every right to manage the content of those communities as they see fit, as long as they’re within legal bounds.

That said, individuals also have the right to call said moderators a bunch of clueless asshats when they make dumbass decisions, as long as they’re abiding by the policies of the space where they’re saying it.

Microsoft banning the word “Microslop” from their Discord isn’t censorship is well within their legal rights, but they are a bunch of clueless asshats for thinking that it was a good idea.

Yeah, “micromanagement” wasn’t really the right choice of word, and I never beat a lot of the more difficult SP scenarios anyway, so I can’t really say that I’m GOOD good at it. I just appreciate that it doesn’t make you deal with managing the positioning of individual units, which is something that usually overwhelms me pretty quickly in traditional RTSes when things start to scale up.

You know, I don’t really think that raising a concern about the possibility of kids getting hit by cars that I hadn’t heard discussed much before really falls into the same category as religious wingnuts scaremongering about “subversive” books or drag queens or whatever.

I didn’t even present it as some sort of urgent, insurmountable problem, I just didn’t have any rebuttal for it in the moment when I heard it. The other replies have brought up good points that could help make it work. Was that really warranted?

Love Majesty. It’s such a different and unique take on an RTS. The hands-off approach to unit management has a nice side effect in that it doesn’t require a heavy focus on APM and micromanagement to be good at it.

So a lizard must be an excess of Liz?

Oh, that makes more sense. It’s a joke about the fog, then. If rain is God crying, then fog is God hitting the vape.

Edit: Looks like you got it at about the same time I did lol

What does “take a blinker” mean here? Guessing it’s a regional thing, I’ve not heard that one before.

I actually heard an argument against permanent DST that I still haven’t really been able to refute. The reasoning was that darker conditions in the mornings during winter could make things more hazardous for kids walking to school. In places with properly pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, it probably wouldn’t be an issue, but at least in more suburban areas, I can’t say I disagree. Changing back and forth twice a year is still silly, but I feel like I might prefer permanent standard time over permanent DST in a lot of places.

Well I guess this is why we aren’t NFL GMs 🤣

Ah, right, THAT Hydra. I felt like I’d seen that logo somewhere before, but I’m only passingly familiar with comics and such.

But who is Mr. Schmidt?
