The USSR had 100s of nuclear reactors, yet the only meltdown was in the only nuclear plant that raccoons had access to.
Wait they introduced the most mischievous animal in existence to the place where they’re trying to contain the worst nuclear accident in history?
What was the results of the experiment?
They’re not non-native, but I’d love to introduce more mountain lions if they could be adapted to this sprawl. There’s way too many deer and feral cats around here.
That’s what it’s from I thought it was the Event Horizon
Those other entries are all insane.
Like OK I can understand stealing a loose hair, kinda creepy but w/e, but her shoe? Is this some kind of gaslight where she thinks nobody would steal only one shoe, so it must be around somewhere, then a week later you can be like “Hey, I found this shoe, it looks alot like your old shoes? btw, why do you keep rubarb in your shoes?” and “What/who are you getting 9 units of fresh blood from?”
That’s a cop-out. Why else would the companies agree to a fine for every bulb that exceeded a certain lifespan?
1923, virtually every capitalist country in the world had just invaded the USSR 5 years ago, Japan only pulled out in 1922.
The USSR being gone only becomes shocking post WWII when they went from an agrarian nation wracked by civil war and famine, with zero tractor factories to sending 100,000 tanks into Germany 20 years later to putting a man in space 20 years after that.
They’ve got blast chillers, that are like air fryers/convection ovens, but cold.

skeuomorphism
The only time the chunkiness of grafting visual clutter and UI elements from a machine that was designed with mechanical constraints and older use cases/capabilities makes sense is if users will not have time to learn the UI and already learned another UI.
Using knobs you have to turn with the mouse with a wooden background instead of volume slider+number field because that’s what was on some piece of audio equipment from the 1900s just makes the software awful to use. It has no place in specialist audio software the user is expected to spend hours using.
The US created south korea out of thin air at the end of WWII, literally just drawing a line on a map.
Then they both held elections. The south’s election was rigged by the US, who used their sway at the UN (the USSR was boycotting at the time and PRC still hadn’t been accepted) to get South Korea’s puppet state recognized as the gov’t of all Korea, including the parts that didn’t even have the US’s sham elections. As preparation to invade the north, the US purged any non-compliant elements from the gov’t (going so far as to put compradors who’d worked for Japan during occupation in high ranking positions) and carried out massacres of elements likely to side with communists (such as rural villages that lead communal lifestyles).
The north saw America was coming for them and the longer they waited, the worse position they’d be in.
I always liked the Nostromo’s design.
That was over half a century ago. The state and media apparatus are different now. A local jail isn’t going to run out of capacity, now they just call in buses from nearby prisons. The msm ignores, distorts, or outright lies about you when they don’t like your objective.
The civil disobedience was a tiny part of the whole action. Same with Rosa Parks, the organizers looked into these people’s backgrounds so the media would have difficulty portraying it negatively and communicated with aligned newspapers beforehand to ensure enough favorable coverage so they’d have the first word.
These actions weren’t done in isolation. The point of peaceful protest is to create a credible threat and offer a more peaceful alternative. The civil rights act wasn’t passed because the oppressor just had a change of heart, it was passed after every city burned for a week after MLK’s assassination when politicians saw people who looked just like them getting beaten to death in the streets.
Civil disobedience is rarely a productive tool. Unless you already know how the media will cover you (if they will at all), you’re just getting yourself and potential comrades fucked over by the legal system.
Don’t do the pigs job for them.
Well yeah, of course I’d trust the experts in genocide over countries that have no experience.
Looks fine to me.
