The whole show is just plausible deniability.

And the "Wormhole Xtreme" episodes are just their attempt to head off anyone SAYING it's for plausible deniability. "Oh, you mean like the episode in the show? Oh you silly crazy people!"

It's all one big conspiracy to keep us in the dark.

Shell defeats landmark climate ruling ordering cut in carbon emissions by SARGE in c/world@lemmy.world

If the options are "I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death"

Vs

"these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives"

I know which I'd pick.

And if it's legal to use lethal force when defending one's life and one's family, then it's legal to use lethal force to defend one's life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

I once got in trouble because I asked my mom how she knows Christianity is the correct religion, as I had been getting fascinated by dead religions.

The conversation was roughly

MoM: because the Bible is inspired by god, and it's infallible.

Says who?

M: the people who wrote it.

The dozens of middle eastern men over hundreds of years? Most of whom never had contact with each other, and then many hundreds of years later a bunch of old white European dudes decided to put them in a specific order, and throw out a bunch of things they decided weren't needed?

M: they were all guided by God.

So the entire belief in this is backed up by the fact that it says it's telling the truth and we're just supposed to take it at its word? What if another book was written that said IT'S the only real one and that you have to murder 5 people every day or you go to hell? How do you know which one is actually true and which one you just happened to grow up with?

At this point I was grounded. And told I should read the Bible while grounded. Of course by then I had already read it cover to cover, and wondered why the church I went to was giving these things to children given some passages are pretty graphic or explicit.

The military in Zombie movies Starterpack by SARGE in c/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

On the one hand, it would be the national guard shooting at the zombies, and not regular military.

On the other hand, I'm from Ohio, and know what the national guard can and will do...

I guess my point is they'd still shoot, they'd just miss a lot?

For the 32nd consecutive year, the world votes to end the US embargo on Cuba in UN resolution by SARGE in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Honestly there isn't a legitimate reason.

Tldr "tradition" and insecurity, probably.

There was once a issue with Cuba a long time ago, but that got resolved and the US just decided to keep punishing Cuba as, in my opinion, a warning to other neighbors who would dare oppose it. "help out our opponents and get smothered"

The only reason it's continuing is because of weak administrations thinking that admitting people who ran the country in the past were wrong somehow makes them or the country look weak.

Honestly the only thing that seems weak to me is continuing to kick someone who's been down for decades but still manages to find areas to flourish and be better than the "superpower" that's kicking it.
