Actual, real deal space colonization would 100% require communism to have already won down here on earth, then probably several hundred years of rapid technological advancement before it becomes any sort of practical. We will never colonize space while a profit motive exists, it's too outrageously expensive compared to the reward for any government or private entity to currently justify.

My pet theory is that capitalism is the great filter and it's why no alien civilization has any sort of visible presence that we can detect. They take themselves out due to their own greed before they can travel past their planets.

I have several red-bellied woodpeckers in my neighborhood, last year one pair had a couple of chicks and I got to watch them grow into adults. They love peanuts and will fight other birds for them at the feeder.

If this forecast holds, the infrastructure damage from this storm is going to be catastrophic, potentially worse than a category 5 hurricane. People will be without power for weeks or potentially months and the roads will be completely impassable with downed trees and power lines.

Any comrades in these areas, please do your best to stay safe and warm. Stock up on some non-perishable food if you still have time.

Holy shit. FYI to everyone, this is REALLY violent and maybe reconsider clicking. He is absolutely fucking dead though, god damn.

You know it's the most logical and efficient system of economics when the speculative value of major corporations swings by 5-10% every time a 78-year-old makes a social media post.

Absolutely hilarious play by TikTok and probably the most easily avoidable PR disaster for the Democrats in decades. I laughed so fucking hard when I saw this, I can only imagine the panicked phone calls that are happening right now.

Funny coincidence, 100% of me supports putting 47% of Americans into reeducation camps.

We are going to be witnessing new levels of rage-posting as transphobes confront the undeniable scientific fact that biological sex is also a spectrum.

Get ready for conservatives to start demanding genetic sequencing for girls' high school sports, they now will be claiming that genital inspections don't go far enough.

I know it's just cop-speak but framing the perps as "attackers" when they were barricaded in the house is pretty ridiculous.

The link is not 100% but two hunters eating from the same deer population and falling ill at around the same time is extremely unlikely to be a coincidence.

We are essentially one mutation away from this spreading between humans and that would be very, very bad.

Forty-eight years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, claiming the lives of all 29 crew members. This is the first anniversary of the wreck to occur after Gordon Lightfoot's passing (May 1, 2023).

The NHL further cementing its reputation as the least LGBTQ friendly major professional sports league after a whopping seven players didn't want to wear optional pride jerseys during warmups last season. Literally rolling over to keep a handful of bigots happy. Disgusting.

I'm kind of bummed about this, the game already has a ton of content but BoTW had some great challenging DLC and ToTK would have definitely benefitted from something similar.

Not nearly long enough, but it's beautiful to see another one of these dipshits find out.

Encourage your crabs to do some light stretching because I have a feeling they will be dancing soon

Incredible that he just kind of tried to re-integrate like nothing ever happened after the mutiny incident, but I guess once you do something like that and you're an international political figure it's impossible to make yourself disappear and you're probably going to get got regardless of what you do. RIP to a true madlad.
