She’s more of a Devils advocate. Just stating the wrong opinion for others to explain what’s right. There’s never any clever comeback, so I kind of think that’s the reason for her to shitpost so heavily.
I’ve blocked plenty of trolls here, but not her, yet.
Ok, so I’m not the only one who noticed that their spam has a weird taste to it. It’s got that vibe of some agreeable left-wing content but then feels likes it only there to mask authoritarian narrative building.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. That account is truly bizarre (from the point of view of how they write and express themselves). I’ve engaged with them a few times and it’s like a weird loop. I know it’s a real person, but it feels like talking to a script or dialog tree because it always goes down the same 1-2 dialog paths
I went to a crypt in Britain as a kid, can’t remember where tf it was, but I still remember it because it was super interesting.
It’s where I learned about Trepanning and how they did it back in olden times to “let the bad spirits out” and it actually worked because it reduced swelling around the brain by giving the blood a way out.
Yeah that’s what the dude said when he was showing us around, blew my preteen brain.
I recently watched an episode of Hamiltons Pharmacopoeia where this lady was talking about her experience living with the guy that made all the LSD for the south of Britain back in the day. She fell in love with a pigeon.
Anyway this dude was well into trepanning, thought it was a way to increase the brain capacity and expand the mind.
She ended up trepanning herself on film and releasing the footage, yeah they watched it on the episode.
This is correct. There’s actually a little plaque that has this explanation on it before you go into the crypt.
It’s this funny little Latin lesson before you descend into a skeleton catacomb and are confronted with the living memory that you, too, are temporary.
I don’t see the connection… the 24 hr Le Mans race is completed by multiple drivers switching out every few hours so no one is driving 24 hours straight. That’s not how endurance racing works
It's like watching a kid doing a thing that he, and only he, thinks would make you very angry. They're so deep in their propaganda cult hole that they have their own subterranean culture. You know, like molochs.
Whistle blowers getting killed, an authoritarian running for office, new laws targeting lgbtq+ people. The USA is starting to feel a lot like Russia these days.
A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work
I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.
I’ve used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don’t like having any icons, though.
On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It’s also very nice.
Yeah, English was always a fucking pain. As an adult though I wish I remembered the parts of speech and how to structure English documents well. A huge part of my job in tech is explaining things in English text.
In high school an English teacher helped start me on the path to wind up here by making us learn about McCarthyism and making me do a report on the Vietnam war (everyone had a 20th century event to report on). The whole incident left me more open minded towards left wing anti authoritarianism
My 6th grade English teacher was the hottest teacher in the school. She’d sit in a boys lap and then ask them to come to the board to answer a problem.
Later it came out publicly that much of the school administration and teachers, city council, and some of the religious leaders were involved in a large and well-known (among the adults, I guess?) swingers club. Small towns get down.
It did largely change the dynamic of the town after they all moved and got fired from what I hear. The abusive kids elementary gym teacher and later high school boy’s weight lifting coach became the principal, one or two principals after one fled the country because of rumors of inappropriate relations with a minor.
Edit: I’m curious if this is going to be one of those comments that get 10 replies from 10 different people from small towns of “Was this in Y city/state?”
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
People have certainly done it. You can ship a vehicle around the Darien gap. Or potentially sell one car and buy another one (probably pay some customs duties).
No they don’t. It’s super far. If one did it would be to move but without paying for a moving service or for some very long road trip like an entire summer
Someone show this pale blue dot to Isreal, Palestine, Russia, and Ukraine, stat! /s
All I’m saying is, if we’re comparing data we gotta at least keep the confounding variables consistent. Not that it matters, it’s literally a bean meme lol.
It would have been a continent and a whatever Central America was when I was in school but the younguns nowadays tell me that Central America is included in North America now. And most of South America seems to think that North and South America are all one continent. If we went with that we could make a really long transcontinental path.
Continents are inherently arbitrary and have always been so. We divide north and south America by an impenetrable jungle that even drug smugglers cross by boat. Similarly, for the last few hundred years Europe doesn’t think that they can get past the Turks.
The EU is not at all equivalent to the USA. The US federal government has a looot more power than the EU and the states a lot less autonomy than EU countries. Also, culture is more homogeneous across the US than across the EU.
But the main reason the US can’t handle the same stuff at a federal level that the EU can is population density. The US government can’t afford to nationalize rural healthcare given how rural the US can be–especially with their debt/GDP at the moment. Give it another few hundred years and the US might catch up to Europe in that respect.
That’s fascinating, and I agree with you. Why the US hates the idea of high-speed rail is beyond me, especially because they prided themselves so much on the rail system they put together earlier in their development. In any case, the US can’t do much of anything with its debt-to-GDP as high as it is right now. They can hardly keep from shutting the government down entirely because they won’t even agree to a government budget.
Counterpoint: all countries in the European case are in the Schengen area, and you can make the entire journey without ever having to take your passport out of your pocket. The same cannot be said in the American case.
If we’re staying on land within the Schengen Area, from the sea in southwest Portugal, all the way to just before the Estonian-Russian border at Narva is 2 days. And it’s Schengen the whole way there, so no border checks anywhere on the way.
