Welp I guess I've played a bit of #EliteDangerous? Yet somehow I still learn new things all the time and haven't done even close to everything id like to do... Time for 10,000 more hours, o7

[Operation Ida @OperationIda]

Op-Ida has just completed our 100th colonization build request. To date Ida haulers have delivered a staggering 6.3 million tons of cargo to colonization ships and loaded over 220 carriers. The hauling continues, join us and help out! https://t.co/9WpWkLG9lY #EliteDangerous

Titan Cocijo may have fallen but Operation Ida's work is just beginning. 16 stations need repair in Sol and 1,462,729 tons of materials are required. Operation Ida is putting out a call to all CMDRs to assist in the efforts. Check our Discord for info. #elitedangerous

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.

As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.

It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.

I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.

I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.

I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.

We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.

There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.

I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.

I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

This is @PeteButtigieg with the only acceptable answer.

[Light027 @Light027]

@M_V_Coehoorn @Malic_VR @EliteDangerous Completely agree. Replacing the permanent repair state, like the original attacked stations had, with the "Thargoid Recovery" state, which is automated and thus meaningless, was a major mistake. It completely negated a significant portion of the risk involved in the war.

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

One more morsel. Everything Hitler did was legal. The repression, the concentration camps, shutting down the press, gas chambers, all of it. Because he had the laws changed to make it legal.

We have one advantage over 1930s Germany.

We have the example of 1930s Germany.

3/3

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

Oh, there were parliamentary elections in Germany in the 1930s. They were shams, and there was no chance Hitler would be removed as chancellor.

And remember, Hitler became Chancellor only after leading an insurrection and being convicted of felonies.

Sound familiar?

2/3

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

I'm sure you know this by now. Others have mentioned it.

Germans voted in 1933. They did not keep Hitler out of power. They did not have the chance to vote again until 1949, after Hitler and 20 million other people had died.

Defeat Trump.

@crispytaytortot This is my first time with shrimp, have been cool so far, only been about 6 months or so.

The plants are actually all plastic except for a java moss ball in the middle that has grown 7000x in size and taken over the tank but the shrimp love hiding in it

New setup including IKEA countertop desks, HOTAS mounts, 49" LG OLED, and finally a chair that won't break instantly, a #SecretLab

Son had an assignment to create a new Constitutional amendment. The teachers were expecting a lot of silly responses. Instead, almost universally, kids submitted gun control

Think the realization is setting in on what will happen when the school shooting generation takes power
