That someone better is you. Research is always like that. If you started your project with all the knowledge you gained from doing it, it would only take you two weeks, sure, but the whole point of research is gaining that knowledge and teaching it to other people.

CF being short for what, in this case?

How about we just don't execute people, even if we know they did it. Life in prison sucks harder.

No it is not.

I'm so sorry you were forced to read an extremely mediocre book. They truly do not care about the welfare of our Marines.

Yeah, it's basically a fascist society if everyone was down with that, which kinda makes the fascism invisible? Like, it would be very difficult to say that the book was about how great fascism is, because it offers no reason for the reader to consider that a different, but worse, society could exist in this universe.

It would be like saying most books are about about capitalism just because they happen to be set in a capitalist society.

I haven't watched that movie, though I'll get to it someday. I'm talking about the book, which is what I thought the OP post was about.

Oh yeah that's right! There's that random rant by Rico's teacher that's just so obviously the author preaching. I forgot about that. It's so out of place my brain forgot it was a part of that book!

Starship troopers was a fascist society where most everybody in the society was cool with it. Like, the basic structure of society is never really questioned much, and for that I find it hard to really call starship troopers particularly fascist in its messaging. The main character isn't fulfilled by becoming a jump marine or an officer, he does both of those things with essentially zero self-reflection. The book makes it a point to show that he makes these big decisions on a whim and doesn't consider them to be particularly consequential. It's essentially a book about a guy that's a part of the machine and isn't particularly bothered by it one way or the other.

Riiiiight at the end we get a tiny bit of "oorah" when his dad shows up, and even then it's mostly just like "nice, welcome to the club, Dad."

Remember, everyone told him signing up for service was a dumb idea, and everyone in the service told him trying to become infantry was a dumb idea. His experiences don't exactly prove them wrong.

It's 35% of men, but close enough.

Open source researchers on social media suggested a Krasukha electronic warfare radar jammer had been positioned on the complex.

That's why. The jammer is messing with Ukrainian operations and Russia put it there so they could scream "nuclear site!" if Ukraine ever went after it.

Open Roller Coaster Tycoon 2! You need to own an official version of the game in order to get the models and textures and whatnot, which are still under copyright. After that, you can play with ORCT2 and enjoy the expanded capabilities,

If they're OG traditionalists Jesus isn't god and also he turned out to be a liar when the world didn't end.

Obviously not an eligible account, but still wanted to say congratulations guys!

I don't know what that is.

Unless we start turning things around from the bottom up, America is going to leave its own people out to dry.

Engineered what?

Oh sorry I meant any collection of nerves. While I do consider sentience to be possible with any arbitrary substrate, I was referring to the fact that loads of other animals are clearly aware and can suffer. That was poor communication on my part.

The fact that these are human nerve cells really feels unimportant, pretty much any collection has the potential for consciousness.

They're only struggling because we're completely destroying their habitat. They'd be fine if they actually had a place to live.
