So you admit you did no actual research and just grabbed the first thing you found, and expect us to applaud you for it? GTFO

Also I have eaten the fucking egg MRE, McDonald’s is certainly closer to food than that abomination.
Fucking this. I once went on a week long “survivalist” camping trip. Your options for dinner were catching something yourself, or an MRE. Between the 5 of us that went, we caught exactly one rabbit the whole week.
We got a mountain of McDoubles(this was back when they were $1) on the way home and it was heavenly in comparison to that shite.
Sure, that’s an option. It doesn’t really change my overall point though that anything beyond galactic colonization is unrealistic on any time scale. Our next nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, is over 2.5 MILLION light years away, over 10 times farther than my “crossing the milky way” example, with nothing in-between to make a pit stop if needed, you have to cross the true void of space to get there.
And that’s just to get the next nearest galaxy. Current estimates suggest the observable universe contains 2 TRILLION galaxies.
There doesn’t need to be more to it than that. The observable universe is over 93 billion light years in diameter. That means even at the speed of light, it would take over 6.5x longer than the universe has even existed for anything to cross that distance… except the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, so actually you need to go significantly faster than light to make it across. FTL is, sadly, still firmly in the realm of science fiction, so to the best of our current knowledge most of the universe is permanently inaccessible.
Not really, no. Generational ships might make colonizing the nearest star systems possible, but even colonizing our own galaxy would require some kind of suspended animation. The milky way is between 100,000-200,000 light years in diameter so even at the speed of light, you’re looking at a travel time that is ~33-66% of the time that humanity has even existed(homo sapiens are currently estimated to have become a distinct species 200,000-300,000 years ago)… just to go to ONE star system out of the hundreds of BILLIONS that exist in our galaxy. You’re gonna need generational ships so self-sustaining and capable that the generation that actually arrives at the destination will have long forgotten the point of the trip and might not want to leave the comfort of the ship.
Still, colonizing our own galaxy is at least theoretically possible, given enough time. The real filter is just how unimaginably large the universe is. The vast, VAST majority of the observable universe is FOREVER out of our reach, as it is expanding away from us faster than the speed of light. Then there’s the unobservable universe, which could literally be infinitely bigger than the observable universe for all we actually know.
You said they admitted to NEVER using anything but GIMP. Your gotcha screenshot screenshot you’re spamming literally proves otherwise. It was the user at the top of this comment chain that never used anything but GIMP, not the one you’ve been replying to.
The neat thing about black holes is the process would be both instantaneous and take literally eternity, depending on one’s perspective.
Are you dudes installing things to AppData, lmao?
Most of my things aren’t even installed on the same drive as AppData.
It’s going to prompt for admin rights every time a windows user runs it
I can personally confirm: No, it does not.
Idk, that sounds better than the actual sequel to Shark boy and Lava girl was.
On one hand you’re not wrong. I’ve been driving with expired plates all year because I can’t afford the work needed to pass emissions, and I already used my hardship extension last year. The alternative is losing my job, my ability to get a job, my ability to get to a grocery store in under an hour, etc…
On the other hand, though… I’m not sure what this guy was expecting. Like, the vast majority of the cops in my area do not give a flying fuck about expired plates, but I’m still gonna make a turn I didn’t need to if it means avoiding passing a cop. This guy literally livestreamed himself committing the crime he was accused of directly to the judge.
Yep r/worldnews went from condemning Russia for their war crimes on Ukraine to damn near universally praising and supporting Israel’s war crimes on Palestine.
Sadly, I don’t think it’s all bots and propagandists. A lot of them are real people that really do have that level of cognitive dissonance.
Hey now, things aren’t that bad. No way Trump lives long enough for that.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, as long as they don’t fuck with established events I’m not mad about this movie existing. It just doesn’t appeal to me at all. The only lotr movies I really want are ones based on the Silmarillion stories, and sadly I suspect we’ll have to wait another 20 years(or more, if the copyright considers Tolkiens son the author) for it to enter public domain before that happens.
Who would want to buy them? The only value a studio has without it’s IP is the devs, and you don’t need to buy the studio to acquire them.
The original trilogy is so beloved because it’s an excellent adaptation of one of the greatest book series ever. This is not that. Good or bad, this will be outright fanfiction. No thanks.
Glad I’m not the only one
They might require it for crossplay or give some goodies for linking, but there’s no fucking way they try to make it retroactively mandatory just to play at all again. After this statement, there would be ACTUAL grounds for a class action lawsuit if they did.
Yep. A third party candidate hasn’t gotten a single electoral college vote since George Wallace, and the only time a third party has done better than either a Democrat or a Republican was with Theodore Roosevelt and his Bull Moose party, which crushed Taft but got absolutely obliterated in turn by Wilson due to the spoiler effect.
