Nukes are mined from Washington’s grave, and the only reason Russia and other nations also have them is because he once wandered a bit too far into Siberia and froze his toes off on a trip that was just meant to explore the northwestern reaches of the new continent. He leaped to the Diomede islands and his toes dipped into the water, he walked into Russia with wet shoes.

clarifications.

hah, good one

under their generation child sexual abuse cases have dropped significantly

If this is true, that’s really impressive. I’ve heard how insanely widespread all kinds of abuse used to be through history, often even openly. But if the culture shift was really as sharp as this seems to suggest, I’d be worried it could go almost just as fast back in the other direction.

Would you say home photography was widespread in the 40s? 50s? 60s? 70s?

I don’t believe you don’t believe him.

I think home photography was still pretty new 30-40 years ago, might be why some families were weirdly oversharing with baby photos? Idk.

It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.

Oh, I get it. Didn’t know Scrabble actually had a blank piece to be used like that. It’s been a very long time for me, and very few games overall.

The shorthand to avoid writing sexual assault isn’t an actual word.

Only one can likely be credited as directly causal to a human extinction, but I’d think several factors can end up contributing to keeping us grounded even if we stick around for several additional millennia. And we could to some extent experience several of them simultaneously. For example if it is necessary to successfully create one or more technically possible (unbeknownst to us) technologies, but they remain unproven for the entirety of our species span of life on Earth. And while this is attempted, we end up with shortages that make soace exploration and colonization politically impossible, as the resources are never allocated for the purpose.

In this case we’d have both problems, but solving either one of them would still not get us out there.

In another example, perhaps even the technology is proven eventually, but due to scarcity rhe window of opportunity temporarily closes, and then wars, plagues, and a few other factors set humanity back to the stone age with a small population. Perhaps some predatory animals end up very successful at hunting us to extinction. Or perhaps we’re gradually finished off by several famines.

One could maybe point one cause out as more consequential than the others, but if the problems end up being such a quagmire I’d say they all played a part in filtering out humanity from interstellar colonization.

As is.

Unless you can’t play words bottom-up.

“_M” is the only one that’s bad as far as I can tell.

“AS” bottom-up is probably fine? I don’t know the rules. The words it could turn into by adding “racist” or “rapist” would be valid words, “sac” and “sap”.

This idiocy will end this mistake of a planet. Might be for the best, if life were to spread through the galaxy from here, we’d be contaminating it with so much war, slavery and other miseries. Good luck to whatever spawns here next.
