It's genuinely fascinating to know that if we survive World War 3, we'll do it all again in a century

I am a gamer who loves really difficult games like Souls games, but will never *intentionally* put the difficulty on hard if there were options available.

I love hard mode, but you have to MAKE me play it 😄

I know the internet has its problems, as in all the problems, but a couple things I love it for:

- finding cool people worldwide
- finding cool music and other forms of entertainment worldwide

When I was growing up (80s) you only knew the people around you, and you were basically force-fed the entertainment you were gonna watch or, especially, listen to. I doubt I'd have even liked half the bands I did if I'd had all the choice in the WORLD.

I just remind people that shit like cordless drills came about first as NASA research to supply astronauts with tools to use.

Research and science pays off for everyone indirectly and directly as long as it's above board and also not just some new extra deadly bomb or something. NASA's budget is a fraction of what we piss away on military.

@ChrisJagged @mayintoronto I voted for lightsabers being more uncivilized because once we look at the larger arc of Star Wars, IMHO it's clear that Obi-Wan's "civilized" is a code phrase for "used by elites when we had it good". Blasters are a democratizing weapon; you don't have to be a special blood, special trained, special elite to use one well.

I hate it when people are like "we shouldn't be doing space exploration, we should be feeding/helping our people".

We could absolutely be doing BOTH. There's no reason we couldn't help everyone AND do cool scientific exploration.

First, of course, we'd have to stop warring with each other and giving all our money to a tiny handful of psychopaths.

In the Star Wars movies, Obi-Wan Kenobi opines that blasters are "so uncivilized"...

...unlike the lightsaber, apparently, with which he cuts people in half, or cuts their hands and legs off.

So how about it: which are more uncivilized, lightsabers or blasters?

#StarWars #poll

	Lightsabers are more uncivilized
	Blasters are more uncivilized
	They're equally uncivilized
	Both are the height of civility

Poll ends at Mar 31 at 3:10am.
