@wadethewiseman@swampist These people don’t realize most younger people, both left and right, see her actions and comments das disingenuous and suspicious. Especially when you consider all the weird circumstances surrounding their relationship leading up to his murder. That’s why druski’s skit blew up.
I don’t like everything single thing about it, frankly some of their interpretations surprise me. The acting and writing is hit and miss, and it looks way too polished. That said I can see heart was put into it, the crew feels like the crew, and it’s a fun way to re-experience the beginning
The framing of “we’ve only explored 5% of the ocean and it’s terrifying” has it backwards. We know exactly why a massive tuna is cruising an oil platform.
Offshore oil platforms are the most productive marine fish habitats ever measured. A 2014 PNAS study found that California’s oil platforms produce more fish biomass per unit area of seafloor than any other marine ecosystem on record. Fish densities around platforms run 20 to 50 times higher than open water. Each platform supports over 10,000 fish. A 2024 North Sea study found elevated fish densities extending kilometers from platform structures.
The mechanism is straightforward. Steel legs and crossbeams create vertical reef structure in areas that are otherwise flat, featureless ocean floor. Barnacles, mussels, and sponges colonize within months. Small fish follow. Predators follow the small fish. The 500-meter vessel exclusion zones around active platforms mean zero commercial fishing pressure for decades. These rigs become accidental marine protected areas.
Congress recognized this in 1984 with the National Fishing Enhancement Act. Over 420 decommissioned Gulf of Mexico platforms have been converted to permanent artificial reefs through Rigs-to-Reefs programs. Louisiana fishermen visit rig sites on 75% of their recreational trips.
And that tuna is almost certainly not 18 feet long. ROV cameras without stereo-calibrated lenses are notorious for size estimation errors. Parallax distortion and wide-angle curvature make eyeball measurements from single-camera ROV footage wildly unreliable, which is why serious marine biology studies now require dual-camera systems with in-situ calibration boards.
The ocean isn’t hiding monsters from us. We accidentally built them a sanctuary and then sent a robot camera to check the plumbing.
@skyberpunk @justarandomtax@SNS_Anon We invented smartphones, own the companies sourcing that material, and own the companies transporting that material. Go cry about it.
In 2014, 23-year-old Ashley Gabrielle Huff was arrested after an officer allegedly mistook dried SpaghettiO’s residue on a spoon in her car for methamphetamine. She ended up spending a month in jail.
During that time, Huff missed her child’s birthday and lost her job at Waffle House. She was later released when a crime lab test confirmed the spoon contained only sauce residue, not drugs.

@TheTopGEight Tbh the aggression matchmaking ruins it. I can’t choose between the solo experience I want. Sometimes I’d like to be chill and just loot or fight arc, sometimes I’d love to do pvp. Problem is if I do pvp in one game I’m gonna be forced to watch my back for the next 10 games
@AriZonanHODL Neanderthals had more brain volume than humans. Not saying potheads are Neanderthals but point is the study doesn’t say what you think it does.
