Many oceanic organisms, notably sponges, diatoms, and many ocean microbes, use silicon for their skeletal structures. They absorb dissolved silicon from their environment in a process called biosilicification. Presumably they could use the silicon in chips / circuit boards if you could dissolve it in the water.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is my dog. That dumbass will eat anything.

Specifically to annoy you, unfederated party pooper.

Did you catch the guy who put the sandpaper on your toilet seat this morning?

And then agree that our only recourse is to mournfully sing The Doom Song and then explode.

I mean…I will. That’s part of the fun of having the goth gf. Invader Zim is awesome.

Lebensraum became an ideological principle of Nazism and provided justification for the German territorial expansion into Central and Eastern Europe. The Nazi policy Generalplan Ost (lit. ‘Master Plan for the East’) was based on its tenets. It stipulated that Germany required a Lebensraum necessary for its survival and that most of the populations of Central and Eastern Europe would have to be removed permanently (either through mass deportation to Siberia, extermination, or enslavement), including Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Czech, and other Slavic nations considered non-Aryan. The Nazi government aimed at repopulating these lands with Germanic colonists in the name of Lebensraum during and following World War II.

Money.

The answer to any “Why is company X fucking everyone?” is always because it makes some asshole somewhere an obscene amount of profit.

They’re projecting their voice upward so it will carry farther. Wolves howl just as much when there’s no moon as they do when the moon is full.

Those are rookie numbers. We need to pump those numbers up.

I knew exactly what it would be. Watched the whole thing anyway.

I call Dr. Zaius.

In the form of some sort of record of user inputs, like a chat log between two humans, sure. Other than that, I sincerely hope not. Remember, LLMS and everything else we term “AI” is just predicting the statistically most probable answer to a question based on its training data. It has no concept of truth nor any way to evaluate it.

Nah, I’m good. I’ll stick to fighting evolutionarily perfect bugs for guaranteed voting rights.

Come serve your country! Not only do you get the opportunity to die horribly thousands of miles from home to protect pedophiles and steal oil, but now, as an added bonus, we’ll kidnap your family for supporting you.

Depends. Only 7 US states still recognize common law, and some have hefty length of cohabitation requirements.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

PLANET 10!

WHEN?!

REAL SOON!

The corporation continues as a separate legal entity. The business assets and liabilities belong to the corporation itself, not its owner. His shares would be passed to his next of kin or, if he didn’t have one, would become property of the state and most likely auctioned off.

Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory

Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory that misrepresents Western Marxism (especially the Frankfurt School) as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness.

Assumedly, since it was a red shirt that proclaimed the wearer was a Cultural Marxist, that it was poking fun. Proclaiming “I am responsible for progressivism!” in effect.

“Economies go up and down, it doesn’t matter.”

Is probably the least politically and economically conscious thing you could have said.

Are you paying attention AT ALL to what’s currently going on in the world? Or do you just not give a shit?

Leaving out the fact that America’s economy is in freefall and it’s currently experiencing a fascist collapse is…a choice.

I use a Pentel Graphgear 1000. Aluminum construction, feels great in my hand, costs less than 10 bucks.
