@Buki_YGV Of course they're all "Khamas", unlike "Iswha-ielis", who famously never butcher the letters "h", "r", or the suffix "-el" which are not part of their nation's chosen name or anything
i can't tell if i should love or be terrified of this startup lol
> their end goal is the complete eradication of mosquitoes
> they're building a $50/month pet drone that guards your home 24/7 so you never deal with a mosquito again
> it listens for mosquito wingbeats, locks on, then shreds them mid-air with its propellers
> every insect's wingbeat sounds slightly different, so it can tell a mosquito apart from a fly or a wasp
> by their math, 10 drones keep a full square kilometer mosquito-free
> the video below is their first ever air-to-air kill
@galaxygash You are an idiot. Moore is obviously sympathetic to Rorschach, views him with sadness and dignity. Oh, he's an asshole but also the only member of the group with actual ideals and a spine? He's abrasive and hateful but believes in being Good? Wow wonder who wrote all that for him
@ShitpostRock I don't believe in God and think all living creatures have inherent dignity because obviously I don't want a world where that's not the case. Seriously a million philosophers even before Kant cracked this. Read a book sometime
@Romy_Holland fwiw my first was just unbelievably demanding as a baby, demanded entertainment pretty much 24/7. She learned to speak ceazy early though and was basically fluent by age 2 and now is just a ceaseless chatterbox. Turns out she just wanted to communicate
@Rianstone Tattoo discourse is one of the strongest indicators Twitter is a microcosm of creepy weirdos totally apart from normal society. In the real world you see girls with tattoos all the time and everyone interacts normally, none of this awful Sephiroth monologuing about degeneracy
@APLeDeluge@Tetradugenikid "Profitable Amusements for Children" (1802) features a story about a picky eater whose unbalanced eating habits are "injurious to his health", making him "sickly and weak"
@estherzelda0514 Fundamentally the core problem is the left is honest about its issues with Israel (it is a fascist state; its ideology is expansionist and genocidal; our support for it corrodes our morals and our politics) but this clashes with your priors so there must be other, "real" reasons
@mcmansionhell this poem always had the opposite effect on me to the intended one. Knife Guy seems really cool, like his impulse is to be part of nature and interact with it in a living way, to be painfully and proudly alive. Narrator's impulse seems to be to jerk off about how Good narrator is
@JayT0147 not sure abt kids but I work with autistic adults and also experience this. I think it's to do with processing categories. A woman I work with will NOT accept half a large quiche but is fine with one little quiche. I think it needs to be "one item". Try smaller individual pizzas?
@gaeon_0620 In MechWarrior 5 you get to witness the rediscovery of old technology and new technology being created as the world recovers from the Succession Wars, with brand new 'Mechs even being designed in the 3030s/3040s. Then the Clan Invasion comes!
@uncledoomer these have been around since boomer times and they're literally just a niche hobby. I think it's great OP has pals with whom he can share a fairly esoteric interest while hanging out
@misterbogs@Chris_C_Lowrey I always just assumed those were the Cobras' colours, not Davion ones. I certainly don't repaint my 'Mechs even though we're formally attached to the Crucis Lancers
@Fat_Electrician If it's all vibes, why use numbers at all? "72" doesn't tell me anything more or less than "71" or "73" when all I'm looking for is a vague sense of the weather. Just use "cold af - cold - hot - hot af" and then use Celsius for actual precise measurements, like water temp
@genge_ngenge I think this is a matter of playstyle. I don't like playing Light 'Mechs because I like to line up my shots carefully and rely on cover and pre-positioning to avoid damage, not going fast. But if you're used to dodging incoming fire piloting an Assault can be a a big change
