I wonder about this though because cars are “fragile” due to being designed to protect the humans inside. I would think that the sentient cars would have evolved differently to be more protective of themselves.

I dunno, I feel like people have been saying this kind of thing since Age of Ultron.

Kidrato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell3·5 months agoFor real. The concept of becoming a master over a wand is world breaking in retrospect. Ron talks about using a hand-me-down wand in the first book, which basically means he was hampered from the beginning by not having a wand that recognized him as its master. And all the wand disarming Harry did means he should have approximately 37 wands that prefer him over their owners.
Kidrato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Blocking users, while good for your own mental health, is the surest way to enable their echo chambers.1·6 months agoThis is honestly the biggest reason. I’ve gotten in so many debates and arguments online and it only ends with me having wasted my time and being less happy. This is even the case when the person has seemed reasonable at first but it always devolves from there.
Kidrato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if someone made an open source decentralized hybrid of Yelp and Glassdoor?91·7 months agoOne of the greatest problems, IMO, is that there’s little incentive for people to leave good reviews of their company. I’m relatively happy at my job, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to go info a website to say why I like working for them. Sure, some people will, but you go onto these types of websites either cuz you wanna complain or because HR is going around with donuts offering one to everyone who leaves a review.
DM: sorry that your character died, do you have a backup in mind?
Me: should I do my “three halflings in a trench coat”? Or maybe the battle master artificer that dual wields lances? We could always use another spellcaster, so I could do the dragon born wizard that’s pretending he’s a draconic sorcerer. But I really like doing melee in combat, maybe the build I based off the song “16 tons”…
Kidrato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking1·8 months agoI once had a roommate from Chile and he asked what the difference in pronunciation was for “juice” versus “Jews”. I’m still not sure I properly got the difference across…
Also the difference between “to rob” and “to steal” was an interesting thing to think through and then explain.
100% agree. You mean I’m gonna have to listen to Brother Lampard ramble on about his experience living in Guatemala for the rest of eternity? I’ll be searching out the fire and brimstone out before the end of the first week.

I’m not even into magic and I’m offended

Kidrato Comic Books@lemmy.world•Where to find older Marvel/Timely/Atlas issues of Captain America?English3·1 year agoSince they don’t appear to be on Hoopla your best bet might be trying an Inter-library loan for the “Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Captain America” books. This page should have all the information you would need for the request, though check with your library for the specific method https://www.marvel.com/comics/collection/39345/marvel_masterworks_golden_age_captain_america_vol_1_trade_paperback
As a heads up, Marvel has only reprinted issues 1-20 and 76-78 of the original “Captain America Comics” series. You specifically mentioned Jack Kirby in your post, so if you’re only interested in stuff he worked on you’re fine, as he only did issues 1-10 and then left Timely until he returned in the late 50s or early 60s. But if you’re interested in the entirety of the Golden Age stories then the only way currently to read pages 21-75 are to purchase physical versions (which is impossible for most people) or pirate them.

That’s fair. I haven’t watched the show so I wasn’t sure what it entailed.
I’ll check those out. Thanks!
When I was looking at a questionnaire about ADHD I showed out to my wife saying something like “man, they’re really gearing these questions to diagnose everyone with ADHD, aren’t they?” She read through the list and then, with the saddest expression I’ve ever seen on her face, looked at me and asked “you mean you’ve been struggling with all of this?”
Getting diagnosed was a formality after that.
