Give me autonomous swarms of T-Drones, or GTFO

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your trigger was s*y milk, do you need a safe space to calm down before facing the big scary coffee shop again?"

A proper response to someone giving you shit about soy milk or almond milk or any other type.

Or anyone who parrots Republicans and their AnTi-wOkEnEsS lines.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There's more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon...

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I'll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It's the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" meme, come to life. And I'd rather let people have their fun. Doesn't cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I'm wrong.

And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

Super Weird.

All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I've seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won't get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn't know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

In no particular order, I have French, German, Dutch, Scottish, Irish, and a teensy tiny bit of "my great great great great grandmother was native American and we actually have the proof but nobody could ever tell without a DNA test so it only gets brought up when talking about obscure family genetic lineage"

Maybe it's because my family is super midwest-usa-bible-belt, and I never even found out about most of it until a genetics test when I got married to my now wife (we wanted to know if kids would even be a medical possibility with our various issues), but I don't identify with any of the places my ancestors lived in, so there isn't a particular culture I'd like to be part of. And to be perfectly frank I'm not sure I want to be part of any culture, I just want to tend to my forest with fair ~~Goldberry~~ my wife.

You do make a good point though, if you're looking to be part of something or feel particularly drawn to a culture after being immersed in what you think it's really like, I could absolutely see this happening with 100% sincerity.

"or should I say us 🇮🇹"

"Sopranos was my favorite show"

Oof. Imagine saying "roots was my favorite show so it makes sense my great great great grandparent was black"

I'd bet it's not immune to small pellets of lead or steel flying towards it at around 1000fps.

Or a rock.

I'm less accurate with the rock though...

This is one of those articles that would have made me go "WOAH, that's so cool, the future will be awesome!" like 15 years ago...

Now it just makes me wonder "how long before someone uses it to hunt down their favorite target demographic for arrest/deportation/extermination" for a split second before I remember "if this is what we are seeing as the public, then someone is definitely already doing that"

Can't wait to see the wapo articles praising the musk drone defense network for flushing out the undesirables from [area] and only having a 20% false positive rate of elimination.

Treated lumber is a thing, and in my experience it's harder to light than carbon fiber and resin.

My garage almost burned down once because I didn't notice sparks from my angle grinder were pooling on a CF/R panel, and it set off a couple other things (paper towel bar, shop towel, solvent residue close to the towel) while I ran to the extinguisher.

This "article" is just an ad, and shouldn't exist without actual journalism going on, but let's not pretend wood can't be fire resistant.

I love the repeated panels, almost like the path is checking to see if anyone looking before it shifts.

Well, I ate the title. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.
