Too true. That makes me worry about tobacco prohibition as well. And just when the world is starting to move on from cannabis prohibition, it seems like we really need to keep making this mistake eh

Sea shanties 😅

My last girlfriend, I waited until she got herself good and stoned to bust out the playlist

Same with the confederacy, tbh. Biggest mistake was to treat them with kid gloves afterward.

Your contribution appears to be solely whinging. If you want a certain type of content how about you post some and see if it catches on?

(Raises an eyebrow) Who has a problem with Brandon’s writing style?

Edit: FYI this comment was meant to rag on him for his writer’s tic of having his characters raise a single eyebrow on every other page. Personally while I like many of his stories, his prose has been distractingly awkward at times.

In Japan, people point to their face to indicate themselves

Two Kims have already died and nothing changed. The current one is Swiss educated, likes NBA, and speaks at least a little English. If there was a hope that a change of dictator was going to do anything, he was it.

Reading in translation has always just fallen flat for me. There’s something about the medium being the message that can’t be replaced. I’m even credited with translating a handful of short stories from another language and I avoid it :/

I have a fine arts degree and I’m a lead dev 🤷‍♂️

Did ungoogled-chromium get Manifest v3? Breaking ad blocking is a dealbreaker for me, so I’m sticking with Firefox so far.

If intelligent life is found in the universe will it change religion(s)?

…with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven...
