I can't believe that we have reached the point as a civilization where I'm legitimately not sure whether or not this was intended as satire.

But like... couldn't she just be paying for Nitro on her own?

With a title like this, it's kind of disappointing that the answer is just "good infrastructure planning" and not something like "the land is cursed such that all who walk upon it shall rise again forever more."

I still don't understand where they think that infernal powerlift tube labyrinth/endless nightmare dimension is supposed to fit inside the ship.

TL;DR: we saw a burst of energy (scientific name: luminous fast blue optical transient) that we previously thought only came from a star going supernova, but this burst came from the middle of nowhere in the sky and therefore was not caused by a star exploding. So now we know that these explosions (LFBOTs) aren't just made by stars.

Until a better theory comes along, I will assume we just witnessed our first warpcore breach. A moment of silence for the ship, and may her crew have gotten to the escape pods.

This is why I stick to hentai. No traficking or coercion or questionable consent there, just a bunch of nerds doing what they love.

you have to specify what genders of nonbinary are/aren’t welcome

Harley and Ivey don't deserve this!

Yeah, but with the caveat that this will only make the world a better place if society chose to implicitly allow this, and actively chose not to disparage, mock, and exclude those people who want to go this path. Which, based on everything we've ever seen about society, is not going to happen.

It's just very hard to find a compromise or "agree to disagree" when the topic of debate is something like should LGBT people be allowed to exist. The days are long past where the right/left divide was all about economic policy -- the divide lies along basic human values at this point. You're going to be hard pressed to find people who can engage with you calmly when you're defending a party whose primary concerns right now are stripping away civil rights from their least favorite human beings before all else.

Yeah, but that might just be that no one cares enough about the FIFA games to waste energy cracking them, not because of Denuvo specifically.

If you want to skip Business Insider here, the "think tank" they're referring to is the Institute of War. All BI is doing is summarizing the July 7th ISW conflict analysis, which you can read directly from the "think tank" here: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-7-2023
