SpaceNoodle,

There’s a lot of people who don’t want democracy …

Sticky trick: new glue spray kills plant pests without chemicals (www.theguardian.com)

The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...

SpaceNoodle,

Not thermal?

SpaceNoodle,

Do you have examples?

SpaceNoodle,

Zero chance he doesn’t.

SpaceNoodle,

“you are presence?”

SpaceNoodle,

How else will hot naga chicks make snilk?

SpaceNoodle,

You want a sawzall, not a chainsaw. The former is a precision cutting tool, the latter is for arboreal maintenance.

SpaceNoodle,

The blood splatter is the decoration.

SpaceNoodle,

No, the C in C-sections stands for sCissors.

SpaceNoodle,

I dunno. If you manufacture tools designed specifically for killing, for example, you’ve definitely played a part in somebody’s use of your tools for killing.

SpaceNoodle,

You’ve never heard of guns?

SpaceNoodle,

Ah yes, I forgot that all pistols have a “wound only” setting.

SpaceNoodle,

No, guns are tools designed specifically for killing. They have no use as defense if they can’t kill. They’re not shields. You also can’t hammer a nail with a gun, or cut a steak with a gun.

SpaceNoodle,

How does hunting not involve killing?

How does such military defense not involve the act or threat of killing?

SpaceNoodle,

The fuck? Vets do much, much more than just euthanize animals. What do guns do other than shoot projectiles intended to kill?

How do guns defend without using the threat of violence? How do they act as a physical shield?

Yes, it’s possible to practice using tools designed specifically for killing. Cars are tools designed specifically for transport, and people have contests for driving those, too.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that guns are tools designed specifically for killing? That’s literally just what they are.

SpaceNoodle, (edited )

Where did I suggest magical bans? You’re projecting a ton of your own insecurities onto me.

None of your rant contradicts the fact that guns are tools designed specifically for killing.

SpaceNoodle,

It was a single example as a thought exercise.

All the rest are words you’re putting on other people’s mouths.

SpaceNoodle,

There you go again, putting words in even more people’s mouths.

Anyway, what would that have to do with the fact that guns are tools.designed specifically for killing?

SpaceNoodle,

No, guns are just tools designed specifically for killing.

SpaceNoodle,

No, you haven’t. You’ve given some examples of how they are useful due to being tools designed specifically for killing, though.

SpaceNoodle,

Yes, it’s possible to practice using tools designed specifically for killing. Cars are tools designed specifically for transport, and people have contests for driving those, too.

SpaceNoodle,

But then I’d have to buy one big drive instead of just reusing one from the box of 1-4 GB jobbos

SpaceNoodle,

Why is this surprising? Qualcomm releases Linux BSPs for all their mobile SoCs.

SpaceNoodle,

They regularly uplevel the kernel, and not all Android Linux code is inherently incompatible with mainline.

SpaceNoodle,

Standing ovation.

SpaceNoodle,

… an Associated Press story detailed the reluctance of local prosecutors to pursue campus sex crimes.

Probably because chances are they were perpetrated by those in positions of authority.

SpaceNoodle,

Remember to rape responsibly, kids.

SpaceNoodle,

Don’t worry, one day you’ll find a friend.

SpaceNoodle,

I hate it when wildlife becomes inedible

SpaceNoodle,

Why not both?

SpaceNoodle,

Mortgage payments are cheaper than rent

SpaceNoodle, (edited )

if it’s so terrible, why even do it?

Edit: no answer, just downvotes.

SpaceNoodle,

I’ve got a mortgage, so I know the ins and outs.

Yes, the deck is stacked against us. My point is that it’s overall a better deal financially to own than to rent.

SpaceNoodle,

That’s not even counting that a significant fraction of each mortgage payment is going towards the principal, increasing your equity, so you’re basically paying yourself back each month.

SpaceNoodle,

Wouldn’t a three-year lease lock in the rent for those three years?

SpaceNoodle,

You’re not even really borrowing their debt, you’re paying it off in exchange for the basic human need of shelter.

SpaceNoodle,

That was completely fabricated, just like all of their other fears.

Black man who borrowed father's BMW questioned, forcibly arrested outside home (www.cbc.ca)

tl;dr - Black man driving his dad’s BMW is detained for being suspicious because he doesn’t look like the sort of person who drives that car. He is subject to a rough arrest as his mother watches. Gatineau police insist there was no racial profiling.

SpaceNoodle,

It’s OK, everyone. The police investigated themselves, and found no wrongdoing. Case closed!

SpaceNoodle,

By that point, it’s already been tainted and it’s too hard to tell reality from satire from ignorance.

Nazis just love appropriating and poisoning symbols, and it all started with the swastika: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

SpaceNoodle,

First day on the Internet?

SpaceNoodle,

There was already a large, active movement that had adopted the symbol. None such movement existed for the “OK” hand gesture.

SpaceNoodle,

The swastika was not widely used in the western world.

SpaceNoodle,

Fucking Express Scripts

So much of my life wasted fighting those absolute fucks

SpaceNoodle,

All my prescriptions have to go through them as part of some sort of “fuck you, whatcha gonna do about it, drop dead?” process, though I technically still do get to use my choice of pharmacy in the end.

How Zionism became a synonym for violence and oppression (www.theguardian.com)

For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving...

SpaceNoodle,

*tenet

SpaceNoodle,

Humble and smart.

SpaceNoodle,

They don’t let you do things that actually help the community. You just smack weeds with a dull McLeod somewhere the public won’t spot you.

SpaceNoodle,

Oof, thank you
