I read Dresden Files for the first time within the last 18 months and I’ve been relentlessly shilling it to everyone ever since. I’ve been a bookworm my entire life and it’s probably my favorite series I’ve ever read, ever. It fucking slaps, it’s SO good.

I don’t feel valued because I bring no value to anyone in my life. Internet strangers asking questions do not count into that lol

Well, sure it does. That’s the reason we’re all here, isn’t it? Maybe not for you in particular, but for the Lemmy community. Internet strangers asking questions that you then answer and spark discussion is kind of THE value that any of us bring to this place. People asking questions and having discussions and sharing their own perspectives and life experiences is like, 80% of the whole internet. It’s what brought us into the global awareness that we have today.

I ran Lich path on my first run of WOTR and it might be my favorite CRPG experience I’ve ever played. You’re evil, but you’re lawful evil, and the game gives you the opportunity to lean more lawful which I did. Excellent example of being smart evil instead of stupid evil which is exactly how I think a proper lich should be portrayed.

Sure. This comment thread is about class mobility in the West though.

But, fact is, it seems it’s the same everywhere.

Throughout pretty much all of human history it’s been apparent that the “nobles” class has been, at best, more trouble than they’re worth; and at worst, the instigating spark that creates a nation-destroying blaze.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who has read a history book that the American nobleman is equally as useless and destructive as his counterpart anywhere else.

Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

They aren’t defending shit

Chad mod action nuking whatever this exchange was but leaving the bit at the end where the guy was humble and respectable

Yep.

My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

Second for sh.itjust.works

I picked this server cause the name was funny and it was large enough that I expected not to run into small-server problems.

I stayed because I have not run into any small-server problems and our admin is a very cool guy.

I got mine at 24.

My parents flat refused to allow me to get a driver’s license, I assume because it would have given me the freedom to leave their house under my own power. I didn’t end up getting one until after I went to and came back from college.

I learned from a driving school, since my parents seemed uninterested in teaching me.

The experience of trying to hold a job or get to and from class between the ages of 18-24 is one of the primary experiences driving me to the idea that American public transportation sucks absolute asshole and desperately needs improvement. It used to take me two and a half hours to get to work. My work was a 15 minute drive from my house, but since my wonderful father refused to drive me to and from work, I would have to take a bus all the way across town to the central station and then hop another bus to take me all the way back across town to damn near the same place I got picked up at.

Reminds me of a joke I heard a few years ago.

The “Tech Enthusiast” : My whole home is rigged up with smart systems! I can control my AC and my lights from my phone from 1,000 miles away!

The Tech Engineer : the most recent piece of equipment I own in my home is a printer from 2003 and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

Right, what are they gonna do, kill me? Bring it, aura boy
