I've been wondering how much deeper we could make it with the advances in materials tech.

The biggest issues are heat around the head, since it's getting super hot down that far, as well as twisting the bit without warping the shaft. By the time the energy is transferred across that much piping, things tend to get very twisty.

I bet by now we could easily drill into the hollow earth!

Is..... Is he straight up just planning to do Holocaust Part 2?

Because it really feels like he's not even trying to hide his desire to recreate world war 2.

Twitter is the only thing I will ever intentionally deadname.

Companies aren't people, neither are billionaires.

some googling later

Well, shit. Glad I buy secondhand books at every opportunity, otherwise I would have given money to a human sized pile of shit.

Is it bad that the only reason I thought the story was fake was "there's no way that sized person cut off someone's head completely, maybe after a dozen chops and some pulling but that article is definitely exaggerating"

You know, rather than "Holy shit that's insane nobody would do that"

I sent the first news story about the signal chats to my parents ands in-laws in a big group that said "I had better never fucking hear another one of you dumbasses say a word about 'HeR eEeEeEmAiLs' ever again"

Not a single one replied, both parents have (according to my wife) started taking Facebook posts they've made in the past down, and my in-laws have not said a political word in over a week. It's been refreshing.

They clearly aren't ready to accept they may have been totally wrong all along, but it's nice to see they might be self-aware enough to recognize when they might be potentially maybe SOMETIMES be less than correct about specific things.

You need a microscope to see it, but i consider it a step up.

"Felon vows to kill people"

I'm shocked. This is my shocked face.

Apologies to any furries, or other kin who might be reading and feel hurt, but I genuinely don't get how you feel the way you do. BUT

I also don't HAVE to "get it" to know it's who you are, it's part of your identity, and even if I wanted to change it I couldn't.

Be as "weird" or "normal" or "kinky" or "reserved" as you want to be. It's none of my business. It's none of anyone's business except yours.

All the bullshit fear mongering hatred is so fucking stupid. "oh look they are wearing something that helps them feel closer to who they are, that makes me angry!" like Bruh.... There are much more important things to worry about. Like how the country is going to implode in the next 4 years because half the US is bigoted pieces of shit who want a bigoted piece of shit in charge, and they LITERALLY want to wipe out people like this.....

Fuck outta here with bullshit divisive hatred over something as trivial as "they're a furry/something not cishetero/whatever"

Be a furry. Be ungovernable. Be whatever you are. To hell with republican hangups.

I remember reading all about how Springfield was covered in illegal immigrants burning businesses and homes, robbing trash cans, rating babies and kidnapping cats.

Some of that might be mixed up, but the again so was I considering I thought it looked rather pleasant with tons of people having fun outside as I rode my bike around for hours literally the same day I read the posts

Clearly the shady criminal underbelly is just cleverly concealed and the residents all work together to cover up the crimes that happen to them.

Then the friends I was biking with started getting flyers from various hate groups shoved into their mail telling them "immigrants and negroids aren't welcome"

MAGAts sure do make the country a place I want to live in filled with hate, misery, and death...

My in-laws are bitching about "how bad" the weather will be after it makes it's way to Ohio.

I understand losing power for a few hours is irritating, but have some fucking perspective. You can go see actual devastation with a single tank of gas.

Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.

It's been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we're moving on.
