Yea, it's abstracted but based on aperture blades of the shutter.

It won't help us outside of maybe the first week of implementation, and that's being generous. By this time next week people will have gamed out a scheme to legally eat that money and expect all down payments to be n+25k.

People like to imagine others beneath them. It takes no effort at all on their part

This is also how reality TV works and why everyone involved is so amazingly awful.

Was thinking the triple redundancy must be for security purposes, but I don't own stripey knee socks so obviously know nothing of IT.

I think I'd prefer leaving Titan's hydrocarbons on Titan, considering Earth's relationship with them so far.

"hooray convenience, fuck your livelihood."

I agree, of all the modern terms, solarpunk is the only one to actually fit punk, even if it is a bit more abstract. At it's core, the idea is still rooted in rejecting societal norms and is inherently political, so it works.

-core predates steampunk as a term by decades. -Core was generally only used when describing musical genre mixing in an attempt to clarify the roots of a particular group's sound.

The only -punk terms in use prior to the 2000's were cyberpunk, crust punk, and punk all of which were used to indicate a level of rebellion. Punk is being used in a similar way -core was until steampunk rose in popularity followed immediately by dieselpunk and atompunk cementing the concept of [powersource]-aesthetic as the primary defining trait of a fantasy genre which easily found it's way into use as a descriptor for an aesthetic that would be expected within that fantasy setting. Things get confused again with the more recent solarpunk (follows the format) and cottagecore (does not follow the format because it is not a musically defined aesthetic)

It's a pretty classic case of a newer generation believing they've invented something without realizing they've actually misunderstood prior usage due to limiting their sphere of influences to their peergroup. These are the same types of people who would call people posers for not conforming to the punk aesthetic because they never understood what punk actually was beyond a vector to fit into a group (and all the irony that entails in the context of punk)

They're a meme beyond discord as well, but not hugely mainstream, existing in a similar space to mentions of Ohio in a positive light. Just more Gen-Z ironic humor.

It's a take on "doth protest too much." Because Poland is super conservative, therefore secretly specialized in femboys.

When the upper threshold for greatness available to you is a 3/10, a 2.5 looks pretty good.

Fuck these clowns

Specifically don't, actually. But the sentiment stands.

I will take Mexican, Korean, Japanese, Mediterranean, Creole, Italian and even British cuisine any day of the week over the bland salted dairy bombs of the Midwest.
