@Mask3dPhantom @DonieDarko3 Have you considered that if you pull the trigger it will all go away, and that you won’t be missed?

Ratio the ratio

@GildedGroyper @MyLordBebo being worried that your country is being run by a possibly syphilitic pedophile is pretty reasonable actually

@MyLordBebo We are at war with Iran on bahalf of Israel and this is what you are worried about??

Any dermatologists here who can tell us something?

@Clonehub7567 I’m genuinely shocked that TBB didn’t show some kind of mass Clone ‘retirement’ at blaster point. It’s not like Palps is shy about that kind of thing. There’s no world where he risks a clone rebellion.

The problem w a mass freeing of the clones is that even though they are a slave army, they don't view themselves as such. The star wars universe makes it clear that there's really 1 definition of slavery, and the clones don't fit that.

@DocLibertarian @Theoladeledada Because we apparently elect those instead

@Theoladeledada Why can’t we use this for pedophiles, Murderers and rapists? So unnecessarily expensive to carry out capital punishment.

This is how they do electric stunning for animals in slaughterhouses, and they die instantly.. There are so many details of human civilization that if we really looked closely at them, we’d be shocked.

@seventhwhiskey @SandyofCthulhu Blasters don’t fire lasers

@SandyofCthulhu Armor for defeating lasers is easier: maximize reflectivity while minimizing damage from intense heat. That storm trooper armor was seemingly so ineffective unveils imperial priorities: good armor must have been more expensive than new clones.

I have actually pondered this, and here is my reply: 1) helmets, as used in WW1 on up, do not stop a rifle bullet. Their purpose is not to stop direct hits, but to limit the effects of explosions, shrapnel hits, and glancing shots. I'm not sure if a blaster can do a "glancing shot" but presumably having the armor does protect from explosions and detritus, thus limiting the amount of injuries storm troopers take. 2) the storm trooper armor seems lightweight and portable, not like the heavy stuff we use with our lower technology, so it doesn't slow them down much. 3) if you look at the trooper armor image below, you can see that there are shapes embossed in the armor that clearly hold some tech. We all know about the helmet radios, but at the waist, hips, knees, and chest there are cut-outs which indicate something is there. I would expect that the tech installed there needs a little bit of rigidity to protect it. 4) we know that the armor lets you operate in a vacuum. That's not trivial, because they're not always in an oxy-nitro environment. Probably has heaters & air conditioners too. These reasons seem plenty to want to put armor on your troopers. Even if it won't stop a direct hit from a blaster bolt.

@SCShipyards The Pathway Drive is possibly based on Borg warp corridors, and the Borg don’t even need Nacelles.

@SCShipyards It’s entirely possible that warp cores have been sufficiently miniaturized that each nacelle has its own, and uses that for standard warp speeds, with each nacelle providing an individual bubble that works in harmony with the other to create a variable geometry warp system.

The trick here is that yes, even we used to spend hours going through the details penned out by people who have now, strangely, blocked me. But since there will never be technical drawings of NuTrek monstrosities, we have all that time to call them out as what they are: trash.

@daramgaria Both have their uses, but Lao Gan Ma is far more versatile

Which way, Western man? And why will it always be Lao Gan Ma?

@oldmedia Blows Stargaze and Stampede out of the water

Trigun (1998)

@retneysholocron To be fair, R2 did 90% of the work

Imagine training as a Mandalorian warrior your entire life just for a 14 year old Padawan to take you out like this

@mindofprospect Mayo is so incredibly easy to make and tastes better when you make it yourself, but people will still buy it purely for convenience

I bet they will stop doing this soon. They’ve literally just given you a precise recipe. Any sensible person will look at this and decide to just make it themselves whenever they need it

@GlaserGilbert @lostinganglia @FELibrary_ I think your schizophrenia pills might’ve gotten lodged under your caps lock

@lostinganglia @FELibrary_ TRYING THEIR HITLER 2.0 AGENDA. THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER, THEIR GREAT DEMOCRATIC RESET.

😆😆😆

@GlaserGilbert @Ancap_NI @FELibrary_

@Ancap_NI @FELibrary_ 1959 WHEN THEY SHOT MANY NUCLEAR ROCKETS THE GOVERNMENT HAD THEM DO. THAT WAY THE GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING WENT WRONG. GOVERNMENT WAS EVEN SNEAKY BACK THEN... I'M HANDICAPPED IN VISION, I NEED THE CAPS... THANKS FOR BEING SHALLOW , I SAW THAT.

@RoguetheShadow1 @Dragnmastralex @GidiGambino Thermal scans through wooden boxes then

@serpentOracle @Dragnmastralex @GidiGambino Doorway was wide open, if that's what you're suggesting💁

🎬 One of the most heartbreaking scenes in TV history. As a soldier, how do you recover from this?

@Wasteland_Memes Moles within his company stealing tech and manufacturing

OK explain to me how Mr House didn’t know about the Enclave despite the fact they have their own Pip Boy models running his Operating Software and compliant with RobCo’s Copyright? And no I don’t buy the “they self-engineered it” excuse. It’s running RobCo OS. He’d have known.

@Dragnmastralex @GidiGambino Thermal scans…. Through the brick wall

@GidiGambino no soldier clears like this. always fiction that is made to make people hate military. In reality they would do thermal scans even before setting foot inside. they always identify targets and threats first. even then they use non lethal stuff like flash bangs.

@ThePholosopherX I want my taxes to make life better for people actually

Free college is not "free." It has a cost. And that cost is passed onto you in taxes. Worse, when everyone has a degree, no one is special for it. It's just another generic resume item.

@wispsofgold He summoned his companion with the pip boy before he dropped it.

wait how the fuck did he get dogmeat wasn’t dogmeat with thaddeus

@AccountSec94103 @Jackson61689330 Thrawn's not smart, he's just surrounded by idiots and nepo babies that make him seem like a genius in comparison.

@Jackson61689330 @serpentOracle "Thrawn wasn't so smart after all" mf how could he ever expect for sentient space whales to be militarized against him
