Them being in space really is the only comparison. I wouldn't expect to see something like Let That Be Your Last Battlefield to feel like a good Star Wars story in the same way that I wouldn't expect Riker and Picard to fight each other with laser swords atop planetary Mt Doom while screaming their feelings at each other after 2 movies of building up their relationship.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Trump has already done that at the end of his previous term.

Yeah, I suppose when I try to address all of OP's bot bait lines like I did, it sounds like a disjointed AI generation. I suppose we're in a day and age where AI generation really is that nearly indistinguishable from real people to the average person. I'm sure there's plenty of times I've been duped by AI generated text.

Still if it was a bot, it probably would have been an immediate response instead of something that showed up an hour after OP posted. And this comment wouldn't have been posted almost 30 min after your response to me.

Apologies that leftists aren't too much of cowards to hide behind talking heads promoting stochastic terrorism. I mean it's not like leftists lying about what operations are being performed at hospitals led to bomb threats being called in or riling people up calling for trial by combat and needing to fight like he'll moments before people violently entered the capitol building. Or constantly threaten to run over protesters, and many times actually do.

I could spend more time looking up and pointing out all the right wing violence, but asymmetric bullshit principle and all that. Fuck off, progressive and left leaning people are tired of the double standard when it comes to political violence.

Every social media is a vehicle for propaganda.

As much as I want to agree, not really, straight up racism and sexism drove racist and sexisf rural white voters to the polls and a failure to adequately address the genocide in Gaza dissuaded more progressive voters from turning out.

Authoritarian governments are never good

Again authoritarian governments are never good.

Once again, authoritarian governments are never good.

They're not particularly complicated. you basically need a sturdy bowl and a stick to crush and grind stuff in said bowl.

Breast milk and mortar and pestles have existed for a long time too to make food into a mush.

So a lightyear is an acceptable non-cancelation of units [(m/s)*year] but kilowatt hours [(j/s)*s] isnt. Got it.

So now we can settle what the oldest trick in the book is.

It definitely does provide information as my 50 watt lightbulb will run for an absurd number of years when hooked up to a nuclear generator and will be completely vaporized by the nuclear bomb.

Also keep in mind your average person likely doesn't remember their physics classes and how joules, time, and watts all relate to each other and that introducing new names to something just creates more confusion and headache and dumbasses phoning into their electric companies about how "my lightbulbs don't take joules they take watts and why am I paying for joules when I want watts."

kWh conveys the relevant information without introducing other names that can create confusion among the stupidest and most karen-like people you know.

The important thing is that leaving units uncanceled is a valid way to communicate the relevant factors of what a number represents.

Yes technically kWh cancels down to joules, but that doesn't communicate the relevant info of how a device uses that energy during a period of time. In other words Work (Watts) multiplied by Time (hours).

Uranium has 2x10¹³ joules of energy stored. You can use all that energy at once in a bomb and explode a city in a second, a lot of Work done very quickly, ooooor you could put it into a reactor and power a city and do a lot of Work during a much longer time period.
