@dotkrueger “Aliens can’t come here because we are 6000 years away” bold of you to assume aliens are as lazy as you are

We're not going to travel beyond the solar system, according to Leonard Susskind. And neither are aliens, coming to visit us. We may not be alone, but we are stuck here for, essentially forever. 1. The nearest star is 4.24 light years away. The fastest spacecraft ever built would require 6,600 years to get there. 2. Surely we can just build faster spacecraft. The problem is to get to anywhere close to the speed of light, we need exponentially more energy. 3. Chemical rockets will just not work. Even fusion rockets won't work. Even 10% of the speed of light is not achievable. The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation prevents it. 4. Interstellar dust becomes hand grenades when traveling anywhere close to the speed of light. Ships break. 5. Space radiation will kill us over the time need to travel interstellar distances. Impossible to protect without massive shields, which require massive energy to accelerate and de-accelerate.

@2024AppsThatPAY @Variety lol how so

@Variety What a piece of shit for not coming back.

#BryanCranston says he and original Dewey actor Erik Per Sullivan had a “great conversation” about him opting out of the “Malcolm in the Middle” reboot: “It wasn’t like, ‘I can’t.’ It was like, ‘I’m different. I’m not the child actor that I was. I’m an adult. I’m into academia and I’m studying and I love that world. And it’s like, ‘Yeah, good.’”

@elwheeler2 @Alonso_GD When did the people of earth hold a democratic vote to care about what the UN says? It’s like you didn’t even read my post

@Ryanbottomson @Alonso_GD

A reminder: if you are a US pilot and you are ordered to nuke a civilian target or bomb a nuclear power plant with the goal of producing a nuclear disaster affecting civilians, you have a legal duty to refuse to comply with such an order

@elwheeler2 @Alonso_GD Not technically a war

@Ryanbottomson @Alonso_GD Oh my bad I forgot Congress declared this war as articulated in article one of the constitution.

@elwheeler2 @Alonso_GD When did 51% of the population of earth vote to agree that the UN law is legally binding

@Alonso_GD In fact, all military personnel have a legal duty to refuse to comply with any order related to attacks on Iran in any capacity, as this entire aggression by the United States is wholly illegal under Article 2 of the UN Charter.

@OldManKill @PokeDuelsTikTok Is drawing the game winning card the same thing as playing the game winning card? If so, then the match wasn't over. Putting your cards on the table then getting up off your seat before the game over is a concession. He wasn't DQ for that reason, but he should have been.

@PokeDuelsTikTok No, we don’t. We have a problem with girls crying like babies to get free wins and then blaming misogyny like little brat children when they get called out for being crybaby girls 😂

this community highkey has a misogyny problem and it's getting unbearably disgusting

@FishNugget4 Friendly reminder that drawing the game winning card is not the same as playing the game winning card. Also you putting your cards on the table like that before the game is technically fully over, is accepted shorthand of a player concession. Hope this helps!

there’s been much crazier pop offs that have gone unpunished which is why I found the ruling pretty odd and confusing. Will keep in mind for next time I guess lol

Talked to two different head judges and they both said the issue wasn’t the board, the boardstate was easily repaired. They said the game loss was because what I did was “dangerous” and could’ve hurt someone or something. Not sure why this l

@MisterKron @CerysJonesTCG @FishNugget4 Drawing a card is not the same thing as playing a card

@CerysJonesTCG @FishNugget4 you knew you were beat, just sign the slip and move on

You didn’t talk to a head judge but you did quite literally say “I want to appeal to a head judge for unsportsmanlike conduct” good luck in top 8

@professsorpoke How could they play it out if he already conceded by throwing his cards on the table and getting up off his seat?

Technically yes makani was wrong to do that and it could have been a warning if anything but it is cringe of cerys to shark it to a game loss when the headphones could still have been put back on and the motions gone through

@AgeeGoThrewYah @TheZachkAttack Drawing the game winning card is not the same thing as playing the game winning card you disingenuous scrub

@TheZachkAttack the game was over you disingenuous pussy

PTCG players we gotta stop throwing the headphones to celebrate a game that isn't over.

@Szerr0 He did not play the winning card he only drew it

Once again at pokemon tcg regionals they issue a loss to someone who won the game Apparently he "destroyed the board state" Come on bro a couple of dice moved This doesn't need a ban I am beyond confident the people who win pokemon TCG events do so by being friends w judges

@TinFoilPill @AdamSmithEcho @SwipeWright Thiests believe there certainly is a god Athiests believe there certainly is not a god Agnostics believe there could be or could not be a god but if there is a god no religion prolly got it correct Hope this helps

@AdamSmithEcho @SwipeWright There is a hair's width difference between agnostic and atheist. Most agnostics are also atheist. By definition, atheism is very simply a non-belief in any or all theism.

As an atheist who used to believe something like this, the rise of gender ideology forced me to take the L. I'm still an atheist, though unfortunately I think the saying “When men stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing —they believe in anything," has some merit.

@Rhino199800 Knock over counters without a camera on then good luck proving to the judge the game state

@Ryanbottomson Than you’d be wrong because “according to the rules” I never conceded. You can’t just assume the rules say you win. I never left the table I’m still standing there finishing the combo before beating your scrub ass.

Dude your what aboutism is pointless. If cameras weren’t there then she would be lying and cheating which does happen in a lot of off screen games. So what’s your fucking point?

@Rhino199800 Slam your cards on the table, take off your headset and leave your seat in front of me without doing the actions you need to do to win the game, and I’ll just assume you conceded

@Ryanbottomson Now again you’re switching topics you are the king of shifting the goal posts. He did not walk away from the table if you bothered to watch the 3 seconds after the cut him putting down the headphones you’d know that.

@LostBoxLover The rules that enforce competitive games are the same rules that stop people from killing you for being an anti social anarchist. It’s not good for you if people can selective choose what rules to follow.

every time one of you says “well the RULES say” I immediately picture you working at your local police department

@LostBoxLover @prcngnpkmn @theethanhuffman Drawing the game winning card is not the same as playing the game winning card. You have to play the game.

@prcngnpkmn @theethanhuffman literally everyone who was there knew exactly what Makani needed to find the win. The commentators even said he needed to find ultra ball plus energy prior to that sequence. He revealed that he found the cards needed to win before he took the headset off. This is disingenuous.

Cerys did nothing wrong imo. Poor sportsmanship to gloat a victory before you even show how you have game. There's nothing wrong with celebrating a win, but to do so by throwing your headset down before your opponent even confirms a concession or you prove the win is immature and at a win-and-in for a regional, players should be held to a higher standard of clean play and sportsmanship.

@Rhino199800 He got up from his seat. How is that not walking away from the table

@cs_arctic @prcngnpkmn @Rhino199800 This isn’t whataboutism. It’s about establishing standards regardless of it it has cameras or not. Cameras being on is not a reason to break the rules

@Ryanbottomson @prcngnpkmn @Rhino199800 Whataboutism is a rhetorical tactic, or form of deflection, where an accusation is countered with a different, often unrelated, accusation to avoid addressing the original issue. It acts as a "rhetorical shell game" that muddies the waters, typically beginning with What about…?

@cs_arctic @prcngnpkmn @Rhino199800 How would you feel if you didn’t have breakfast this morning?
