That was the best youtube video I think I’ve ever seen. Fantastic.

AI conversation from Metal Gear Solid 2

I must have missed this. Could you link me

Yeah I saw a post the other day about Chinese scientists developing biodegradable bamboo-based plastic alternative. Widespread adaption of it of course will be challenging because of entrenched power of fossil fuel companies, but also small business tyrants whining about cost-per-unit. But if they’re able to make it more affordable than petroleum based plastics then that would be a huge win.

My money was on Calgary or Edmonton or something, but gosh dang I guess the frothing-at-the-mouth NIMBYs know no borders.

I hate those people so, so deeply.

Oh man, LTE 1 & 2 are some of my favourite albums of all time.

I didn’t learn until years later, but apparently a lot of the albums were basically improvised. I think 3 Minute Warning was entirely made up on the spot. They rented out a cabin in the woods for a couple of weeks/months and just pumped out some of the best, incredible prog rock ever written like it was nothing lol.

Mother of god I just learned they release LTE 3 in 2021 oh my god oh my god oh my god

The way that it is done now, yes it’s basically a giant scam. However, I saw a documentary recently at the IMAX called Fungi where they demonstrated that certain types of mycelium have been found to grow on / break down plastic, and could (in theory at least) be used to effectively deal with our plastic waste issue. Pretty fascinating actually.

By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to see that film, do it, and get absolutely blazed as shit beforehand you will have a great, great experience.

Most free country in the world, folks

Correct me if I’m wrong but these appear to be quite old Nazca drawings

especially one with so much baggage

it cutoff the best part, after he says “in the himilayas with ji xin ping”

Comrade, IMO now would be a good time to start organising your bookmarks tab into sub-directories.

Trotskyism is a fundamentally anti communist ideology, change my mind.

Well shit in that case I will also take a massive indica bong rip for you too 🫡

How about “negligent driver causes train derailment”

Sucks, but in the final analysis sounds like you dodged a bullet. I’ll have a drink for you tonight 🍻

who drained just enough support from Al Gore in Florida to tip the election to George W. Bush.

Motherfucker, that election was rat fucked by the Supreme Court who prematurely stopped the recount. In a state who was governed by the brother of the winning presidential candidate, no less.

presence on the ballot in a few swing states was just enough to keep Hillary Clinton from beating Donald Trump

Hillary Clinton who won the popular vote? That Clinton? And who lost because of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE? The most undemocratic institution in the western world?

This shit is so disingenuous. Just tut-tutting people who want a mediocre alternative to the dictatorship of the one-party-with-two-right-wings.

why would I buy purpose-made plastic containers when I could just get take out and reuse their shit instead

Watching this bloke analyse and describe of The Combine I couldn’t stop making comparisons to the z!0n!st entity’s military occupation.

I thought it was “elastic pork” lmao
