“We noticed a bug in the latest patch where the blade may sometimes fall off. This is unintended and we will fix it in the next quarterly update”

How’d that make it past QA you might ask? Beta testers for things are the QA now. And they often pay for the experience too!

Just a dumpster for me, thanks

See this is what I mean. I shared a random meme and here you are taking it like some kind of personal shot against you. “maybe if you’d paid attention in class” type toxic shit.

Bitter? I wouldn’t say anyone I know is bitter. It’s just one of those tropes we all lived through, it’s not somehow a commentary about you or me. I just post this stuff from storage based on what I haven’t posted yet. But you seem to be picking some oddly specific ages and typing up an oddly specific rant so it feels strangely hella personal here.

Chlorine gas is one thing but you have to mix it with something else to get it to bouyant enough to be dispersable over large areas

Best and worst could go to Fritz Haber. You may not have heard of him unless you’re into agriculture, but he is a Prussian Chemist, born in 1868. He worked with Carl Bosch and created the Haber-Bosch process. This process allows you to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. Large amounts of fertilizer can be made from this quickly. He received the Nobel Prize for this in 1918. It is what allows us, even today, to mass grow crops. His work, without hyperbole, feeds billions today.

However, his background in chemistry meant that in 1914, he was asked by his country to contribute to the war effort. After all, that’s what one does in war right? He devised heavier-than-air chlorine gas that would go on to be used to kill millions. He resigned from his field in 1939, but the nazis took his research and used it to form Zyklon B - the chemical used in gas chambers on Jews.

He is one of the people whom we ask “does their good outweigh the bad?”

I’m not sure I understand your comment

“why aren’t you out lighting fireworks and celebrating the holiday?”

Just not real happy with our choices since last fourth, I guess.

Nah can’t mean me, I hit the gym.

But seriously, I know, I’m just choosing not to feed an attack over a meme with…what… proof I touch grass? Lmao none of us owe that to anyone in a shitposting sublemmy
