You’re crowing at clouds. If you think some shitty reddit webcomic is a cultural zeitgeist you’re delusional.

Gotta always have a lot more volume in photosynthesizer corpses than higher trophic levels no matter what. Us high trophic creatures can contribute with our corpses but not by much.

Well yeah, compare this to ebola response if you want to see how clear the institutional rot is. That was also a pretty low risk threat in the US but hospitals were clearly indicated the plan for outbreaks and given training metrics and were designated as local response sites. CDC was on the ground and public health gears moved.

When gravity fails and the rest of the budayeen cycle is one of my favorites.

Cyberpunk as a genre is generally self aware that it’s a ridiculous noir pastiche and leans into it for camp value even early on.

How’s your anus doing @[email protected]?

Yeah that’s totally grounded in reality(both the lows and the highs):

It’s got negative growth potential for the most part after it got retail chunks taken out of it by those with actual warehouses and logistics chains. It’s fundamentals are solid for a person to person sales platform and for used things and collectibles. But the big revenue was always as an online retailer and it sucks for that. Wall Street hates public companies with okay fundamentals that need to reposition themselves to a smaller market. And this meme suit says he’s gonna turn it into an Amazon killer by merging it with his company that similarly has negative growth potential in its previous core market but has found some success in collectibles.

“The truth is, we are not necessarily putting two strong companies together,” Kodali added.

That’s putting it mildly.

he only talks about Nvidia’s direct sales to Chinese customers

Right. There’s totally no major evasion of these export restrictions going on. 😉

All of the clay gets compressed which means the water can’t drain into the ground anymore and the underground drainage canals get damaged. And then the city turns back into a fucking lake after it goes between drought and flooding because the only way to create a surface water reservoir is to turn the now sunken city back into a goddamn toxic and polluted lake/marsh. That or attempt to geoengineer it into a desert which also defeats the purpose of human habitation. Eventually “fixing” the problems will become more expensive than what they’re worth for more development but nobody really knows where that inflection point lies for the valley of Mexico.

Flour and water, meemaw. Flour and water.

What’s the fish doin’.

I’ve had it with these motherfucking Quetzalcoatls on this motherfucking airship.

What I like about bleach is it isn’t a poison. It’s reactive oh yeah, so concentrations directly into your esophagus and stomach is a big deal. But while your cupcakes may not taste good, phone might not be killing you with them. You could potentially eat a lot of bleach cupcakes with no ill effect if they’ve already oxidized all the other ingredients within them and created some chloramines that will be undelicious. Just depends on how strong your 1/3 a cup of bleach is.

At least the AP offers the perspective that this is likely just state terrorism even if it’s understated.

It never pretended to be. It’s a platform for broadcasting actions based on usernames not secure communications. Kinda cross purposes to think you can effectively do both. Why I liked that kbin was very upfront and let users see all engagement right from the post. It can provide a level of anonymity if you want (though community moderation resists this because strong anonymous protections just leads to abuse), but privacy for that persona isn’t part of the plank.

There’s one scene they didn’t dub and you can tell:
