The Drake Equation is a probabilistic formula meant to derive the number of civilizations which humans could potentially communicate with.
The fermi paradox does challenge the formula though, as it implies fi and/or fc are very small or zero.
Probably a background character since everyone took the good characters already 😔
Mostly OC, with the occasional shitpost

My stepdad used to tell me about “spider karma” when I was little. Basically, all spiders are a part of a gang, and if you squash one they’ll just think he must’ve stepped out of line or something. However if you squash 3 or more, the spiders will all start talking to each other and plan out attacks on you when you’re most vulnerable. Sleep attacks are the most common, but occasionally they’ll get so pissed they choose to hide in a jacket or shoe and sacrifice everything just to inflict a little pain and terror for killing their mums or siblings.
I used to actually believe this btw.
Edit: why the downvotes to OP? home maintenance is always the best method for keeping pests out. No need for spiders indoors if ya dont have bugs indoors!
I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think it’s all-or-nothing thinking to question the effectiveness of just doing the opposite of what conservatives propose. If we don’t base these decisions on real data or thorough analysis, we might end up with a policy that feels good politically but doesn’t actually deliver the best results for people. I’m not suggesting endless studies or using that as an excuse to delay action, but rather that we should be intentional and evidence based in making these decisions. Especially given our elected officials have cabinets full of paid staff who can already read the studies that have been published. No new studies and waiting is necessary.
Can you prove that’s the antithesis, and not -18%?
Would 82% be the best for regular people? If not, who would it be best for?
That delta (+3%) would still concede ground to conservatives when pre-Trump corporate taxes were at 30%. Even Biden told Congress it should be at 28%.
It’s just too reactive to want the opposite of what the new conservative playbook is. The best corporate tax rate for the average person has nothing to do with what Trump or P2025 think, so formulating our economic systems around the opposite of them won’t work either. We need a materialist analysis of our economy by experts and academics to determine what any particular tax should be in able to develop economic situations that best benefit regular people the most.
Rhetorically: What’s the antithesis of an 18% (base) corporate tax rate?
Project 2025 is fucking awful, but just doing the opposite of them doesn’t make sense when the working conditions of regular people can only be improved through a materialist view of the world, as the opposite of their goals isn’t what our goals are.
Nguyen Hoa Binh translates roughly to “Nguyen Flower Troops”, lol. It should be Nguyễn Hòa Bình. It’s kinda like mixing up “Steve” and “steed” in English.
I answered the question pretty straightforward since I thought it was a genuine question. Once I realized he’s a troll I gave up on responding to him.
Likely because it wouldn’t be reported to the government as thoroughly as hunting tags are. Politicians tend to be against policies that don’t directly give them clout when policies exist that could.
Tbh, I don’t expect any culture that considers tattoos to be taboo to be cool with weed.

I’m pretty sure this is how
While I think it’s important to have some sort of media bias understanding, I dislike the bot being the first (and sometimes only) comment on a post. Maybe it should be reserved only for posts that are garnering attention, and has a definitive media bias answer for (the no results comments are just damn annoying to see).
It also has the knock-on effect of boosting the post higher in whichever sorting algorithm users are using. So it often feels artificially controlled whenever something has 100+ upvotes and less than 10 comments, knowing the first comment is always a bot. Like, would it be fair for me to have 10 bots that comment factual information of posts I personally like, just to boost their visibility?
There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don’t even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.
And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn’t “a full scale war”. Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.
The situation is rather complicated and it’s probably best to read for yourself, as I didn’t even know they had announced the band getting back together, possibly.
Jack Black Says Tenacious D Will ‘Be Back’
All this is coming from the guy who just that night sang:
People inside me are asking me to blow up City Hall
He killed Tenacious D mid-tour in an act of dick-riding for Donald Trump, while campaigning for Biden.
Also Borderlands is shit, and his role as the voice of Claptrap took the spot of two talented voice actors who have already played the character across multiple games.
Huh. Must be one of your mom’s belts
Listen, all I’m saying is that I’m not 100% sure I’d exist if I didn’t believe in spider karma. Better safe than sorry, especially when it costs you nothing.
