[Silly Thought Exercise] What over-the-top absurd person would you choose to replace Biden who you think could actually body Trump, and why?
  • I think Weird Al Yankovic would be the perfect opponent. The absurdity of a political debate where Trump spouts absolute nonsense in a perfectly serious manor while Al lays serious facts in the most nonsensical form would be the show of the century and weird Al has better qualifications for the job by trumps standards having maintained cultural relevancy and financial stability for 4 decades. Plus he's jest super likeable.

  • Which of the four Avatar nations would you rather live in?
  • That depends on whether or not I can be a Bender. Culturally I think I'd be better suited as an air nomad, it fits my wanderlust and passive lifestyle. Otherwise the earth Kingdom, especially if I could be an earth bender.

  • What's the story you would write if you were an author?
  • There's a similar episode in the twilight zone that could be interpreted as this too, but I'd like to play with it a bit. As an otherworldly entity it doesn't play by human rules, imagine a gang thinking their just bumping off some cleaned up junky that's gone straight and all of a sudden they're being stalked through a mirror realm by a nightmare abomination who periodically dips out to take it's estranged kids to therapy and volunteer at the community garden.

  • What's the story you would write if you were an author?
  • A doppelganger of sorts replaces a character, but it's entirely for the better. Despite being an unearthly monstrosity, it's well meaning, good intentioned and has everyone's best in mind. Unfortunately this isn't seen as a good thing by the crowd the original ran with, and those who find out are at a crux between liking the person and fearing the monster.

  • Don't give them ideas
  • It took 6 years to get fed up enough to make something better happen. That's how tolerant we are. Right now we're not going to tolerate this, but a thousand cuts from now, we might and Sony is already prepared.

  • Who is a fictional character that is loved you find either overrated or you don't get the appeal ?
  • Superman is such a single note character that the good things that came out of his existence can all be counted on one hand. I get that he was foundational to the concept of superheros, but it shows in this day and age.

    I will say the monologue in justice league while he's slapping around Darkside is immaculate though.

  • Don't give them ideas
  • The microtransaction concept was made decades before Bethesda's horse armor which had gamers everywhere in a rage. Now look at us, I'm on Lemmy because reddit has Microtransactions.

  • Wouldn't it be funny if there ended up being a plastic-based life form and they wondered how they came to be...
  • There are sea snails living near volcanic vents that metabolize the extra iron into shells and plating. I expect we'll see a similar adaptation at some point. Simple organisms issuing plastic in some sort of process that toughens their shells. If left unchecked we may see an evolutionary leap as more things adapt, and a die off as plastic becomes a finite resource. Future generations may argue the merits of artificially supporting the microplastic ecosystem in the same vein that we argue about reducing it.

  • what's some stuff that costs around 1$ that you would recommend?
  • It's a buck 25 now, but you can get two Inc brand R2 pens at dollar tree. They're the only thing I've written with for nearly a decade now. They're a smooth ballpoint with a slight bleed in 0.7 making your penmanship look bold, smooth, and steady. Everything my handwriting lacks. They now make a 0.5 and is equally as clean but far better for smallest script. One pen lasts me about 6 months of regular writing.

  • America’s assassination attempt on Huawei is backfiring
  • OK, but in this metaphor I'm not a boxer, in a guy who watched part of rocky 2 and if you mugged me you'd find 3 pennies and a d20. I'm not even the ant unfortunately crushed in the machinations of these entities, I'm the dust in the grease among the cogs.

    In a practical sense it is a waste of time and resources for either of them to record my life, but if the China phone has a prettier ui and a cheaper pricetag it would be a huge improvement for me personally. Could one Midwest honky with a foreign phone and no free time genuinely cause any damage?

  • This might be a weird ask, but does anyone have a tabletop game that can fit in this cool case?

    So we have a few of these things and I honestly fell like they're critically under utilized for what they are. You can see the mini figure display space, the stand and folding wings come out leaving a sizable storage area, and the lid also opens to enough storage for all the parts in each set. The top of the lid is an ordinary 8x8 flat round corner.

    Obviously, these would be great travel cases for Lego D&D Minifigs, with your fig, main equipment, and what not with the back space used for other equipment or cosmetics. That said, I really want to find a game that uses the building aspect of Lego and can be stored in these containers.

    The best I've come up with would be some variation of Goh that uses smooth tiles? Maybe some sort of chess game? Any ideas would be appreciated, I've been wracking my brain on this for weeks.

    Game based on the Lego vidiyo cases?

    How do you get rid of bad neighbors?

    So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by traffic in the busy street we live on, the current two have bit people. I'm not one to care how someone lives, but these folks make the rest of our slum neighborhood look downright utopian.

    I've tried taking to them, they're stupidly hostile. I've put in complaints with the city, noise complaints with the police, they don't do anything about it. Does anyone have advice on dealing with this? I'm tired, at my wits end, and my small town tactics aren't as easy to pull off in a proper city.
