I don’t know if this theory has a proper name but I have seen it multiple times.
If a species has the ability to push their technology to the point they could become a space faring species, that technology will destroy the civilization before it can get there
Some disclaimers
I am a 50+ year old American
Up until 10ish years ago I had at least a better than average understanding/knowledge of WWII
My ex’s grandmother’s family was from Hiroshima and they had family members killed in the bombing.
All that said as tragic as they were I still think those bombs were the correct military decision at that time. I would be willing to have a rational conversation about it though.
The situation in Gaza is completely different and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the GOP are fucking ghouls.
In a normal world it makes some sense.
If you own a catering business and are running for congress there’s nothing wrong with you hiring your own firm, AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, for an event rather than hiring a competitor.
The problem is is that Trump has broken everything, and now takes what should be reasonable rules/laws and turns them into more grift.
Modern American capitalism doesn’t care about long term brands. Shareholders demand quarter on quarter growth.
In what world is that a question for a reasonable person?
A media company remade and re-released a piece of media and acknowledged that there may be problematic content, but that we should consider the time the media was made.
You don’t need to know what the problematic content is, just accept their statement on it.
What do you think Trump/the GOP’s ratio would be?
I’ve been playing a lot of Against the Storm. A rougelite city builder.
It’s in EA but 1.0 releases in like a week.
It’s like an algebra equation. Genocide is on both sides of the equation, so we can cancel it out. Then we are left with Biden being a ridiculously old Boomer and Trump wanting to finish destroying our democracy.
Don’t be polite, be predictable.
Lemmy (shorthand for the fediverse at large) was never going to supplant reddit in the short term, but the API boondoggle helped lemmy to grow at a huge rate since mid-June.
Does anyone think Reddit is done doing dumb shit? I don’t, and thr next time they do a dumb Lemmy will be much closer to a true alternative to reddit than it was a month ago.
It will probably take multiple missteps by Reddit (or one huge one), but each one will chip away and then eventually I think lemmy will be in the spot reddit was in when digg did their final dumb.
Yeah I guess I didn’t read very carefully
