We can't even leave the planet without MS enshittifying our equipment. God, I really want out of this timeline

Just imagine the aliens capture a probe and try to use Windows. What will they think of us?!

Don't worry, it will stop them at installation and demand internet access and creation of a Microsoft cloud account.

First they laugh.

Then they wanna just cry when it brings down their whole starfleet with a virus that they have no immunity to ;)


Clippy "It looks like you're trying to go to the Moon. Want any help with that?"

Good on you. I saw your comment in the Microsoft thread earlier and wondered what this was. I now want to actively seek out examples of this played as it seems like it would be a hoot.

Friendly spelling correction. Diaries, not dairies. Dairies are where one produces dairy products.

And I'm sorry your mom experienced that weight towards the end of her life. That sounds like a significant thing to grapple with, especially considering some of the not so pleasant content mentioned.


Annihilation of Italian food is nothing to laugh at, and is in fact a tragedy

I thought the entire point of being given a plate of Italian food was to annihilate it, followed by some tiramisu.

It's frankly hard to tell much difference when put into the same color scheme. Granted, those minute changes represent MASSIVE shifts in the arrangement of matter throughout the nebula, it just doesn't look that way from this far away.

The nebula was created by a supernova that exploded about 1000 years ago, and the images were taken 25 years apart, so it's about 2.5% bigger in the newer photo.

Besides the overall expansion, some of the wispy cloudy features seem to have changed more qualitatively, some of the curves have shifted shapes and positions in ways more complex than simple expansion, due to magnetic effects.


> agreed to by any of the bodies that are supposed to decide whether the US military activates

This isn't true. Congress entered into de facto agreement the second that it struck down war powers measures against the Trump administration's power to wage war against Iran.


And Benito Musollini, and the Blue Meanie. And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie

And Robocop, Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth Vader. Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger.

And Bill S. Preston, Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan.

That's not what the quote is referring to directly (the title is a bit misleading):

"In fact, when it is eventually declassified, the American people will be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this authority with insufficient information"

You are correct that the American populace has normalized this already. The fact that this is done without congressional oversight is indeed stunning. Or at least it would have been a decade or two ago.


It was a pun...NO WAIT! Whats that thing where it spells the same backwards and forwards?
