I believe he said that.
HoveringOrb··on Dream Vendor "Canna_Bars" Sentenced to Prison
If he was funding cartel activity by purchasing meth from Mexico, you can be sure that harm resulted (even before you get to the destruction that meth addiction causes).
HoveringOrb··on Dream Vendor "Canna_Bars" Sentenced to Prison
I want to agree with this, but I've seen firsthand how meth heads bring down everyone around them.
HoveringOrb··on Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you (2000)
>There are different viewpoints and pilosophies on what would work out best.

In this case, it mostly seems to be a difference between what Joe Blow says and what actual epidemiologists say. One of these is decidedly more valid than the other. I'm sure the experts disagree on some points, but these are details compared to the difference between the overall message they offer and what some self-centered goob or conspiracy theorist wants.

HoveringOrb··on When Hubble stared at nothing for 100 hours (2015)
>Since stars are burning out and the universe is expanding, are we also about the last generation of life?

Red dwarfs will still be burning a trillion years from now. The flare stars among them will only become more stable with time. I'm not sure what the prospects for interstellar travel will be by then, though.

HoveringOrb··on Boston Dynamics shop: Spot Explorer
OP's humor might actually be too subtle for Reddit these days. They're busy recycling the same Black Mirror references.
HoveringOrb··on The silence of the owls
It was probably a harpy. Those things have no chill.
HoveringOrb··on Buttplug: An open-source software suite for teledildonics
It makes sense if you follow the modding scene surrounding those games.
HoveringOrb··on What Happened to Lee
Not necessarily. He/she/it/they could be limited in their capabilities or working under unguessable design constraints.
HoveringOrb··on Woman took 550x the usual dose of LSD, with surprisingly positive consequences
>The woman blacked out and vomited frequently for the next 12 hours

Hey, I love LSD as much as the next guy, but that sounds like a dangerous combination of status effects.

HoveringOrb··on The Feds Get Permission to Seize Edward Snowden's Book Profits
Now I don't have to sorry I pirated it.
HoveringOrb··on AI Dungeon 2 costing over $10k/day to run on GCS/Colab
Still a better love story than Twilight.
HoveringOrb··on Elon Musk 'pedo guy' defamation trial to begin
Really? That's the defense he's going with? Just admit your mistakes, apologize, settle out of court and move on. Don't double down on the stupid.
HoveringOrb··on Hey Millennials, saying ‘OK Boomer’ at work could get you fired
In the state I live in, anything can get you fired. Being up for a raise can get you fired. So where's the news here?
HoveringOrb··on Our Dazzling Night Sky When the Milky Way Collides with Andromeda in 4B Years
The first couple of images show the milky way pretty much as it actually appears from a suitably dark location. Maybe just a bit brighter and more contrasty than I recall, but I'm sure there are many here who see it almost nightly and can speak to that better. Just saying, it doesn't look grossly exaggerated to me.
HoveringOrb··on Adblock Radio: An adblocker for live radio streams and podcasts
Why would you feel the need to defend it? It's your bandwidth. Your paying for it. Filter the content you access however you like with a clear conscience.
HoveringOrb··on Vandalize Your Car
Well, it's no uglier than my stock gray Focus.
HoveringOrb··on Why didn't the Romans contribute much to mathematics?
But mostly, it's a graveyard of unanswered questions.

>maybe it's not explicitly in support of racist ideals

Let me stop you right there...

Depends. How cool is your supervillain lair?
HoveringOrb··on Elon Musk’s Boring Company lands $48.7M contract for underground “people mover”
Also, the whirling blades that move randomly up and down the length of the tunnel seem downright unnecessary.
