Because you can see it for the distraction that it is. In a vacuum it is a wonderful or at least interesting and significant thing but it is also clear that it’s just a PR stunt by the US government.
That’s not to belittle the training, dedication, preparation, and everything else that was done by all of the people around adjacent to or even inside the rocket. The indictment is not on them.
Man I’m still playing MUDs.
That “caught eating last ice cream domestic betrayal” at the top really ties the whole thing together. Very necessary.
Fewer people marveling about Lemmy itself, which is fine.
There are a couple of people who are now a constant presence. For better or worse. Some of y’all need help that Lemmy can’t provide. I won’t name a name but if you have to ask…
Those who get their kicks by pretending to be idiots, etc.
Perhaps trainers who were fond of a particular type would all rally around one remarkably skilled figurehead. A leader, if you will.
They might, one supposes, form organizations in which they all trained together in specialized facilities for the promotion of their interests. What would they call such a training area? Well, to pull a word out at random, why not a gymnasium? Considering that facilities of that name are already used for training human bodies.
To continue down this road of totally arbitrary supposition, I’d imagine any particular region could support 8 of them. Not sure where I got that number, just pulling it out of nowhere.
Very old indeed but I’ve been on Carrion Fields a lot lately, revisiting old haubts, and it’s still as fun as I recall. Uniquely for a MUD they even released on Steam with a client package and everything.
In the past I took characters very seriously and any time I died (let alone faced down the inevitable permadeath), it was emotionally crippling. This time around I’m mature enough to see the silly and just have fun with it.
Some MUDs still really hate it when you post quest details online. Watch out, lads, the crusty dungeon crawling neckbeards are gonna getcha!
Reject modernity.
I grew up in the Midwest and have hated it since I was a kid.
Oh the ostracization!
It is. Been a devout fan since about 2009!
“For reasons unknown”
Lmao it’s not hard to figure it out.
Most all of the site was racist as fuck with a hearty scoop of unironic MERICA FUCK YEAH
Related to the “meme” subject, it irks when a post is just “picture of a sign, possibly being held by someone” or “something written on a piece of paper then photographed”. Just post the fucking text.
I skimmed this and read baboons as balloons by mistake but honestly I like both.
That title alone is just so cool. It sounds like the name of a sci-fi novel or something and then you realize it’s real life.
This is what I came to recommend too.
Well in that case, it’s hardly worth it for such a pittance. Chump change at that point.
