‘You only use 10% of your brain’ is only referring to the physical areas of your brain. Which is not true, because we have scans that can show that we use all areas of the brain.
I always thought that saying was referring to how we only use 10% of our brains potential.
Disregard to human life and health isn’t limited to a fascist government though. As for the propaganda, I always took that at making fun of the military and their over the top commercials and other media.
I never compared it to the actual government.
Let’s just say that the government does just rain bombs from orbit. They are humans, there are gonna be dudes that want to get their feet on the ground to start shooting things. Regardless of the type of government, humans are creatures of destruction. People are gonna want to shoot an alien bug for a multitude of reasons. Glory, honor, to prove themselves, fascist government or not, people will be lining up around the block to sign up for an interstellar opportunity to be a ‘badass’.
The bugs colonized entire planets and has an empire that rivals the humans. That is far from being a mindless, non-sentient creature. If anything that screams they are more intelligent than humans because the bugs just shoot massive spores into space to accomplish all that.
You won’t find me hanging out with them, I’m afraid.
Okay, sure. But how is the bugs attacking first unlikely, when they are able to calculate that kind of interstellar trajectory to colonize all the other planets in their empire? They shoot spores into space and hit other planets to colonize.
Why could the bugs not have shot a colonizing spore at earth, or another human controlled planet, and that was perceived as an attack? The bugs empire rivaled the human empire after all.
Or am I missing something obvious here?
So, I have read and been told this many times before. Some times I will rewatch the movie to try and see that narrative. And I’ll admit, I’m and idiot. But I can’t get past the idea of: Bugs are just icky, no matter the size. Remove at all costs.
I have a rule that if I see a commercial or an unskipable ad (even if it’s unskipable for the first five seconds) on YouTube or wherever. That I never buy that product.
Hank likes hominy.
It’s a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.
It’s not even just the poorly educated out here. A lot of intelligent conservatives that are blinded by religion. You can be smart and a moron at the same time.
“Users ask EA to shut down new EA app, and just use Steam.”
Biscuits and gravy. It’s the most American thing I do is pig out on some good biscuits and gravy.
Or you can call the phone number on that same page.
Says you. The microplastic in my veins has been enhancing my body since before I was conceived.
I don’t think that’s a good comparison. If a person doesn’t follow a diet plan, then they are not on a diet. The diet plans effectiveness isn’t brought into question in that case.
If a “Christian” goes to church, is told they are saved and are absolved of all their sins. And then spreads their toxicity and hatred around the world. That absolutely allows the rest of us to judge their belief system.
What is the alternative for Android Auto then?
Whenever I don’t bring my lunch to work my only options are gas station food or McDonald’s. Every time I go to McDonalds I get a cold meat patty on a hard bun, with the cheese somewhere on the side. The limp undercooked fries and bland nuggets that have the consistency of playdough.
I go to the gas station without hesitation.
There was a Kickstarter a few years ago for the sec dec. Supporters likely got early iterations by now. The full release of the sec-dec isn’t out yet.
Sec-dec seems to be a similar device to Corsair’s xenon edge. But I’m not sure how similar.
There is too many different versions of starship troopers to have a meaningful conversation about the logistics of how they travel. But there are transport bugs capable of interstellar travel. The first one was located on Pluto, so they were already in our system. Depending on which version of Starship Troopers you bring up Buenos Aires was either attacked directly by the bugs or had a meteor destroy it.
And the bugs have to have some sort of FTL travel since the humans followed the first transport bug back to the Arachnid homeworld. If that would take billions of years then the humans wouldn’t have been able to follow them back after they left Sol.
Starship Troopers is full of plot holes and inconsistencies that would, again, likely prevent us from having a meaningful conversation about the logistics of the Arachnids.
