Already under way at the Kennedy Center.

Yet people keep falling for it as history repeats itself. Humans will never learn & they will inevitably destroy themselves.

That can only lead to dangerous places. Like The Three Stooges…

EDIT: sigh Guess I’m the only one who caught the Short Circuit reference… r/fuckimold

No, they only stipulated that human life hadn’t been eradicated (yet) - the question itself didn’t mention humans.

Sorry, no - you are likely confusing me with a Romulan due to the fact my time of Pon Farr is approaching.

Hope so you know they’re not Romulans?

OP didn’t specify “human” life…

Speaking from personal experience, having such a “fully formed frontal cortex” doesn’t guarantee enough maturity to prevent problems more commonly associated with childhood. There’s roughly 25 years of life determining your thought processes before you reach that point of brain development, and it can easily take just as long (or even longer) to realize the problems with (and correct, if they’re strong & brave enough to do so) poorly developed thought processes from those early years. That’s why there are so many divorces even well into people’s later years.

Unfortunately, many never manage to undo the damage wrought by their childhood. The asshole moving (back, unbelievably) into the White House & his supporters are living proof.

I get that & can appreciate that to a point. However, I can’t help but think it would be better not to have the two intertwined in your head - each of them are distinct individuals, and IMHO it’s not a good idea to deliberately set one up in the mold of the other. To me, at least, it’s simply a matter of respect for her as a her own person.

I’m guessing your comment is directed at mine, and I can only come up with two possible reasons for not responding directly to me - either you:

• didn’t want to engage a potential troll, which would be understandable if my phrasing hadn’t been reasonably respectful (at least that’s what I tried to be - feel free to let me know how I missed the mark if not), or…
• looking for even the most vague hint of a reason to assume the worst about people, and then passive-aggressively trolling them for it. Frankly, this is what your (avoidance of) approach came off as to me, and it’s an especially cheap shot for the unwarranted lack of respect by not talking about me to my (virtual) face.

I’ll freely admit I’ve never been part of this community. I’m just a somewhat older introverted cis guy whose life wound up being a pointless waste of an existence in no small part due to bullying (only outdone by extremely poor & dishonest parenting, along with a strong predisposition to depression/anxiety). It’s that bullying I experienced that led me to make the comment I did. I’m quite sure I needn’t explain to anybody who’s part of this community how damaging bullying can be to your psyche.

Yeah, as adults such bullying isn’t usually as simple and blatant as it is for kids, but that’s not always the case - just look at the asshole who’s about to move back into the White House for a prime example. You’ll pardon me if the utterly - unbelievably - absurd amount of support that supreme leader of all bullies gets has made me fear the worst.

I hope for both of your sakes that nothing is ever read into the fact that name contains the word “man.” It’s just the kind of thing so many childish assholes would make a big deal of.

Congrats, & TYVM!

Yet still cheaper to remove - no matter how many Decks you have to do it to.

Same boat here. My spouse has numerous health issues that are mostly manageable, but the physical limitations make employment difficult and the Medicaid health plans are such as PITA to deal with that they may as well not be there. My spouse has extremely low self-esteem breast into them since childhood by an asshole stepfather (that over two decades I’ve only minimally been able to improve), and thus no drive to fight for the help that is needed. Me going would likely mean the end for both of us.

At this point I’ve already long since been dead inside, so it’s well past time that my body finally joined my spirit. At least I’d go out happier knowing that I wouldn’t actually have to live through the second coming of Repugnican-induced hell - a.k.a. “this time we’re gonna hit the ground running and do our damnedest to thoroughly destroy what’s left of the country in under four years.”

Not to be left behind, the west invests in an even faster next-gen train codenamed “snowpiercer.”

Yes (with some help from hardware expansions).

Sure out to getcha!

I bet there’s still some FORTRAN in use at NASA/JPL.

Alternatively, I’m pretty sure key parts of Excel were written in x86 assembly. Dunno if that’s still true.

Methinks you have too much faith in those wielding the power to demand this. Examples abound of assholes - anyone from forum mods to police officers - abusing their power against those they look down upon. Yeah, it often comes back on them eventually, but not always, and in the meantime the lives of those they target can be made a living hell if they so choose.
