You do realize rock is a mixture of jazz, blues, country, and r&b, swing, etc., right? Without any of those, rock probably wouldn't exist. That's why country artists can cross over to rock without much effort; and why some blues can be seen in the genre of rock.

Gay sex is okay as long as it's Jesus doing the penetrating.
Christians are God's flock. Guess God must be
Scottish Welsh.
If we're all God's children, doesn't this statement make Jesus a sex offender?

99 bottles of love on the wallI loved many girls each night
they were like
individually wrapped
acid trips
sweat and cum made
the sheets warm and cozy
the lights were pretty
like disco balls in studio 69
and when I grew tired
I'd lay there and dream
of heaven while being raped
by the love of a woman
while I slept
I'd see jesus in front of me
and he'd tell me to get
undressed and I would call him
a fag and say I didn't swing
that way
but
it was jesus
if I didn't swing perhaps
I'd go to hell
so I undressed and
woke up to a guy
sucking my cock
it felt strangely fine
and I let it happen
jesus wanted it to happen
the nights were abstract
the stars seemed to move
like spaceships
we wanted to go home
and we cried out loud
for them to rescue us
from a world at war with itself
vietnam was waking us up to love
yet our government was killing
us
I burnt a flag on capitol hill
and got beaten with a club
by some pansy cop who looked
like he was the re-incarnated
jesus who went down on me
that other night
I've been photographed in incense
and burned as a god
yet the god I am is the god they are
and there's nothing more
I can do but hope that life's
more than a re-occurring trip
and not held in the palm of a white man
who calls himself a leader
true leaders don't send young men and women
to die in a battle
that they obviously will not come back from
and if they do
they won't be whole
they won't
be innocent anymore
they'll be fucked and raped
like a little girl
finding out her daddy hates her
I've seen more on tv
than what they show
or perhaps
it's all just a show
and we are the puppets
waiting for our strings
to be cut
or for us to cut
them
ourselves
give me a gun
I'll assassinate Kennedy
just so I can dream of
not being drafted
dream of being fucked
by many women
know that jesus loves me
dance in a crowd
and see better stars
at night

The y-donor told me to mow the yard with one of those. I went out to the garage, took a quick look and came back in the house.
"I won't do that!"
He got mad and said he'd tie me to the damn thing until the yard was done. I said "Let's go, then." When we got the garage he noticed a rattler entwined in the blades. And one on the handle.
We let the yard go that day.

Spinosaurus (http://img.timeinc.net/time/today_in_pictures/0907/tip_ny_0713_01.jpg) isn't especially duck-like. Anatosuchus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatosuchus) is a better contender for a real-life crocoduck.
Though, I really don't want to be seen as endorsing Kirk Cameron's stupidity. He argued that evolution posits intermediate forms between extant taxa, which is just fundamentally wrong. These populations diverged millions of years ago, they're not going to have modern transitionals, let alone transitionals between taxa that didn't even exist back then.

Well yeah, it is a deception. Look at how his legs are braced. There is no weight being put on the right foot. The left leg is what's bracing him.

It's a fake.. I've seen a lot of similar pictures, but look at the tree just to his left growing up and the background trees growing sideways? It don't work that way fellas..
The tree is fallen and upturned a lot of ground with its roots. Like this (http://www.photo-dictionary.com/photofiles/list/10193/13778fallen_tree.jpg), just almost perfectly perpendicular with the ground. A wider shot would've revealed the illusion. Also, note the leaves.
oh c'mon, its obvious this was an uprooted tree, all the leaves at the base in only one spot? His right hand is helping to hold the jacket from sagging but you can see the gravity pulling the jacket, and the grass in the background you can see its growing towards the sun so the tree is laying down.

I think it was because he was smarter than the teacher when he got the answer two different ways. I had teachers like that even in high school. They think you are being a smart ass and disrespectful. Which was true in my case. :eek:

Because the teacher actually flunked, not the student.
I think she wanted the rows of columns to be the first set and the count to be the second. IF this was mentioned then it would be part of the critical thinking part, although I think it's pretty candy ass.

The student was supposed to put the numbers in the right way. If you look at the teacher's notes you'll see what he did "wrong". I suspect he flunked for not following instructions. (No approval of that kind of teaching implied.)

She has a point with Raiders (though the Ark wouldn't have been placed in US custody), but he does free the child-slaves in Temple of Doom and if Indy had never been in Last Crusade, then either Donovan would have either never gotten the Grail or would have died promply thereafter. And if Indy hadn't have been in Crystal Skull, it still wouldn't have made any sense.
So, there you have it. Indy is 2 out of 4 at best in saving the day.

I've given this much thought since I saw that episode.
Indy stalled the Nazis over and over. He never actually stopped them, but he impeded their efforts until they were desperate enough to open it prematurely.
Also by stalling them over and over, he managed to place himself where he would be able to collect the ark at the end.

Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?
My degree is in Math. I know the subject very well. The other day for fun I worked on plotting a four dimensional parabola simply using complex numbers for y=x^2.
When my son is doing his common core homework, my wife usually is able to help but occasionally has to turn to me when I come home from work. I study the problem, and while at first I say "what the heck are they doing?" I then figure it out and then say "why the heck are they doing it this way?"
Last year when doing fractional inequalities, I saw their method (drawing a number line - yeah, counting on the drawing skills of 3rd graders) and said "oh hell no." I then taught him how to find a common denominator. The teacher saw my son doing that and then had to teach it to all the rest of the class to keep them up with him. She both complimented and complained that I did that. Apparently she didn't like what she was required to teach them.
The same can be said of his 4th grade homework. Doing it the right way is stressed even more than the previous method by which math is taught.

One polar bear, two male lions, elephants only slightly larger than gazelles, door too small for giraffes or elephants, the left most lion's left front foot is pointed backwards.
Perhaps I'm taking this too seriously.
What is really hilarious is it shows two male lions. Are they gay? Did the artist ever see a female lion? Solitary

Long names are fine if they can be easily shortened. Xax would work fine. I prefer 2-3 syllable names no longer than 8 characters, but finding a suitable fantasy-sounding name like that which isn't already taken is practically impossible.

But you can call me "I".
I like a good long name, but I also find it annoying if its overly long, a nickname can make it fine though
For instance, in the story I'm developing, one of the char's names is Sammak-Kannorak-Del-Sonoa, but everyone calls him Sam, it works you know?

A friend picked me up from the ER in San Diego one time about 3 AM. He was starving and we went looking for a taco stand. After a futile hunt he growled "Why the hell are they all closed?" "Dude, it's a Jewish holiday, they won't be open until tomorrow." "Oh, okay."

Because g can have either a hard or soft pronunciation and because the pronunciation of acronyms isn't necessarily related to the pronunciation of their base components.

I wish that were my bed. Mine always has a headache.
A guy walks into the bedroom and says "Here, take these."
Wife responds, "What's that?"
"Aspirin for your headache."
"I don't have a headache!"
"Gotcha."

There is only one scale on Civilization 5. One hex is always one hex... though, we could pretend the world size (and hex size) increases as eras progress. That would make the picture make more sense.

Thanks. Scale is everything. The "3 mile limit" was established because that's a far as a country's cannons could shoot, and therefore the area they could control. It's "12 mile limit" now, primarily because they gave up at that distance. (The Paris Gun could shoot 75 miles.)

It's just that blinking turn signal at the end. It's like it wants to help but it doesn't know how.
Would have been more appropriate with smoke instead of "mist" (or, as we say in the US, "fog") but I guess you go with what you got. (The Silent Hill pix.)

It all makes sense now. The reason the same species can be found on different continents isn't because they were joined in the distant past, it's because the animals hitched rides on logs and I guess waited for months for the logs to travel thousands of miles. Seems legit.

Boooo, I liked the volcano thing better.
But is going to be interesting to see how the rafts got the predators and prey animals back to their proper locations so that it seems like there was never an interruption in their habitation of, say, Australia.

They forgot to mention that the flood also caused massive amount of canned foods from humans planning for nuclear winter to become stuck on the rafts for the animals to eat. They then used the empty cans to gather rain water.

Go 45° either way and it looks like a pagan symbol. Where's your god now?
So the T-shaped pole is basically god saying fuck you, I just ripped up your town?
Yes.
There are also the tic-tac-toe poles in the background. That is god saying he likes tic-tac-toe. Are you X or O? (Os go to hell and god is always X)

Thank god he didn't make the tornado so large that it reached the sun and pulled forth enough plasma to destroy the planet. Then Jesus wouldn't have anyone to kill when he returns.

Got this in an email today..
QuoteThere was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
One day a letter came addressed, in a shaky handwriting, to God - with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
The letter read:
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment.
Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.
Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars.
By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went.
A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?
Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.
By the way, there was $4 missing.
I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.
Sincerely, Edna

aitm--you forgot the "H". Your little statement was a small blast from the past--kinda like the 'better dead than red' I kept hearing a few decades ago. Besides I'm too fucking old to move now anyway. I really did look into Canada a few years ago, but they told us (my wife and I) that we were too old and too poor to move there. Sweden would be nice, but I'm too old to leave my American ways behind. :) Yeah, I guess I have to agree with you in that the old US of A is still one of the better places to be--well, not Alabama.

Aw. *Hugs. I'm not taking it as an insult. I know it is hard for you to believe, but here is not as bad as you think. Really. At least in the area I live. Is there a potential for it to be very bad? Yes, of course. Am I afraid? Yes. It's the freaking Middle East.
Congrats. 25 bucks looks even better in my money. :lol:

Not at all. Tim Tebow was making headlines a few years ago with his "in your face Christianity" and success in college football. Many people were implying that he'd become the best quarterback of all time because of his faith. But, he never really was able to make the college-NFL transition. So, all the Christian football hype fell well short of its mark. He's still in the NFL, but I'd be surprised if he ever became a starting quarterback again.
"Tebowing" became a short-lived internet meme where people would post pictures of themselves praying like Tebow in a variety of locations. South Park had an episode on memes that featured Tebowing and planking.
"Tebowing is defined as "to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different."

*She was in tears, trembling. She didn't know she would find her god someday, suddenly and the taste and the love, in this cruel, bloody world. How could she? When she saw him, all her godless ways and the shameful life she led as a heretic came to an end. She was filled with light and a crispy smell. She swallowed. It was the dawn of happines. She knew she would never be the same.

Remove/prevent computer viruses with malachite!
(http://i.imgur.com/nzEkUsY.jpg)
For those of you who don't already know, malachite is a greenish mineral with miraculous properties:
* It has spider sense.
* It soaks up electromagnetic "pollution". You know, super bad stuff like light and radio waves.
* It can protect your computer from viruses attacking your computer via the internet and email. That last part is super important because email is distinct from and not at all ultimately reliant on the internet. As we all know, the internet is a series of tubes, while email is a series of particles that fly around in the air.
* Malachite soaks up negativity and sends out positive energetic rays (these energetic rays are presumably not within the EM spectrum)
* In addition to EM pollution, malachite also absorbs regular, non-EM pollution. But from time to time, the mineral has to cleaned with running water to get all that radiation and viruses off of them. Viruses and radiation are a lot like ketchup, I suppose.

That was in the Namek universe where Dr. Mario sold pills to Ganon. You can tell because Sonic had the evil goatee when he ate the mushroom. The real universe had Sonic go fusion with Donkey Kong in order to throw barrels at Mouser.

So, those viri (is that the plural of 'virus'?) and the other pollutant's end up in the oceans, just like everything else we spew. But maybe it will continue to soak up the negativity in the sea.
The plural of virus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us#Virus) is viruses, not viri. Also, plurals do not need apostrophes.

Reality TV show. Famous because her dad was rich and famous (lawyer for OJ Simpson), and has her own little media and product empire budding as well. Also, a sex tape.
Sorta the new Paris Hilton, but (hate her all you like) a good bit smarter in how to diversify her earnings and stay relevant. I'm not a fan of hers, but I do respect her for the mini-empire she has built around herself and I do think she is, in some regards, a rather smart lady. She is also a spoiled brat though.
The irony is that she gets so much press because people are always bitching about her left and right. People complain that she is still relevant and known and how terrible it is that young people today even know who she is, and then refuse to shut up about how much they hate her and just otherwise continue to talk about her.
I have less respect for the people who constantly bitch about her than I do her. They are just getting trolled hard.

In the old days the English and Scottish armies used to fight by gathering their armies on top of the hills and at day break they would run down the hillside into the deep gorge below to fight. One morning at dawn there was a fog (as thick as pea soup) and the two generals decided to refrain from fighting that day. Whilst the two armies were resting a voice, with a Scottish accent came from within the dense fog.
"Any one Scotsman can beat any 10 Englishmen".
With this, the English general sent down 10 of his soldiers. There was a hell of a fight and NO ONE returned. An hour later, the same voice was heard.
"Any one Scotsman can beat any 50 Englishman".
With this the English general sent down 50 of his soldiers. The same thing, a terrible fight ensured and again NO ONE returned. An hour later the same voice.
"Any one Scotsman can beat any 100 Englishman".
So, down went 100 of the best. NO ONE returned. An hour later.
"Any one Scotsman can beat any 1,000 Englishman".
By this time, the English general had enough and was about to send down his elite soldiers, when he saw a lone Englishman crawling up the hill. He was battered to a pulp. As he reached the top he shouted "Don't send anymore troops down, its a trap, there's two of them." :pidu: :axe: :dance: :shifty: :whistle:

I think I'll avoid the Dark Half of people. Although, I have heard that a Dreamcatcher can help with Insomnia. Can be good for Nightmares and Dreamscapes as well. However, if you live in Salem's Lot, then you might as well be walking The Green Mile because you're well beyond Desperation.

Tho a couple of those guys do look like the local rednecks--they drive around with pickups with the US flag all over them--and every now and again one with the confederate battle flag flapping.

Well the differences are subtle, but there are definitely differences.
Clue #1: No t-shirts with writing on them. Hipsters will wear screen printed t-shirts, but only if they're vintage with some 1970's company logo. A recent screen printed t-shirt that says fuck obama or has an american flag? That's a redneck.
Clue #2: The hats aren't baseball hats. Same as with the t-shirts. They'd wear one, but only if it said Piedmont Airlines or something similar.
Clue #3: No holes in any articles of clothing.
Clue #4: No dirt on their work boots or their clothes. Hipsters wear everything ironically. So they wear work boots, but they would never be caught dead engaging in any activity which actually required work boots.

well by and of itself, there is no difference between getting drunk and over eating as far as damaging to oneself. Neither has to damage anyone without further actions. Both can be equally harming I would imagine.

"The only reason I wear this is so that the other women of my school have a chance to have a boyfriend, because I am so sexy I would be the only woman the guys would see, completely ignoring all you other ugly people."

Some women have been programmed to believe that covering up in compliance with rules written by men long dead gives them more freedom. And perhaps it does, from the men who believe in the same long dead men.

If it weren't for a religious rule, I probably wouldn't bat an eye at the cover up... but, since it has something to do with some stupid religion, I'm against it... truthfully be said that is... or my beer goggles are misleading me into thinking that. Quick, someone correct that!

I know several women who wear the hijab strictly on their own concordance, and their reasoning is a bit more than just... "eh, ancient rules give me freedom". And I would say that it works for what they want as well.
Happy Independence Day!

And would they remove it and never don it again if that so suited them? While remaining Muslim, of course. Just wondering.

Yeah. And that's the majority of them. I have known many women wearing turban -we don't have burqa or whatever the other is called- they are educated and perfectly happy with it. There is a black and white look at muslim women about this -that they are all forced to do this- they find it very offensive; like hurtful. I have seen so many different scenarios about this, I think I get that. If there is no oppression, they should be left alone.

I had a class mate. AyÅŸe. (You write that Aysha?) She thought she looked very bad with it. (She was right) At least that was what she said when she stopped wearing it. And she was a pretty woman.

Cultist-chan is an old character dating back at least 2009. Mr-Culexus on Deviantart did a comic series featuring her and an extremely jaded chaos marine who got stuck with her. An odd couple sort of thing.
The "WE CAPTOORED IT FOR CHOAS!" thing is from Dawn of War. The cultists there were fawning and enthusiastic to the extreme.

But, on the other hand, the military would have phenomenal k/d ratios. Biters would basically be the easiest enemy they've ever faced and they're both well equipped and well trained to take care of the problem.

My sister has a 7week old (her first) so she's been getting this type of advice. "If you leave him too flat (horizontal) while feeding him the milk will run into his ears and cause an infection."
Maybe she prefers paranoid advice to the way she was treated as an inanimate incubator while pregnant--every time she talked to her mother-in-law every question that should have been directed to my sister was asked of the (unborn) baby: "Is the baby feeling nauseous this morning?" As a fetus in the first trimester the baby does not feel anything. I, however, am nauseated by the question.

Whatever a puppy of that age does is cute beyond words. Well, except chew up any piece of paper that they can find or pee and crap everywhere! I feel that up close and personal right now, for we are in the middle of raising a 6 mo. puppy mix, rescued of course. And she loves paper--or anything she can get her teeth on--and the potty training is going slowly. But she is cute as hell!! And just as lovable. I had forgotten the lack of sleep one gets when puppy joins you in bed (almost the same as raising a baby)--one constant pee patrol. :)

tl;dr- went to Mexico with an acquaintance from Colombia- he was a contractor who was taking an illegal back to Mexico. Spent 4 days around Hermocillo. Also drove all the way out to the Baja to go swimming.
Memo: do not dine with a Hispanic in a Mexican restaurant. Also don't make the mistake of saying "I'll have what you have". The waiter gave us a "salsa" that had no odor and was almost white in color. That shit was so hot it boiled the inside of my mouth all the way to my intestines.
He also told me how to pick a safe restaurant in border towns. Check out back and look for cats. If you see them, they are not on the menu.

Of course--he is a fake person, so any beard would be fake as well. :)

I never said it would sound good, just that it would be logical. I like the name Atlanta. "Georgia City" just sounds like a town full of rednecks.
Mississippi City. Um.... yeah..... :s_laugh:

Just FYI, there is a "Texas City". It's a small to medium sized city. Its kinda known for oil plants blowing up. A couple of major plant explosions were in Texas City. Its between Houston and Galveston.

*Facepalm"
Vegetarians eat plants, which are in the plant kingdom. They refuse animals, which are in the animal kingdom. That means they eat life just like all other animals do.
Bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are not in the animal kingdom, so vegetarians are not forbidden to eat them.
That's the joke. Maybe I could see a super hardcore Jain worry about something like that, but a vegetarian? Nope. And to be perfectly honest, anyone seriously concerned about ingesting bacteria has got to be insane. Bacteria live and die in huge numbers in the body just as a matter of course. This is water "purity" marketing run amok.

Yeah, those are good too. Was that the one from the Sniper's Nest in the locked locker? That one would work I'm sure. And I've often had the gauss rifle that the mercenaries were carrying. But the explosive charge antimaterial rifle is the most consistent--for me.
That was the one, I just forget the name of it. Gimme a second... Gobi Campaign sniper rifle, according to the interwebs.

I am equally agreed that one doesn't buy into the hollywood idea that whacking someone with sticks while at the same time risking your own life, is better than sitting 1000 yds out with a 50…..fuck them, the reason we kill them is because they need to be killed…not because we need to risk our life in order to kill the pieces of shit. If you are risking your life, you are giving them a chance you can't afford.

You do realize rock is a mixture of jazz, blues, country, and r&b, swing, etc., right? Without any of those, rock probably wouldn't exist. That's why country artists can cross over to rock without much effort; and why some blues can be seen in the genre of rock.

Beer. Fries. Chocolats. Or even "Unnecessary amounts/layers of governments" (seriously it's ridiculous over here). Hell, I'll take "Chauvinism" or "dullness". We are quite dull and chauvinistic. But is that even a stereotype? People here tend to consume loads of antidepressants, are constantly bitching about everything (look at me, I'm bitching about something as trivial as this! :p) and we have a relatively high suicide rate. We'd sooner be called worried little rat-faced cowards before we could be called 'relaxed'.
Srsly though, pic made me lol
It works. Amsterdam is pretty chill. :P

In certain cases I have. Not in those exact words mind you. But I made the same point i.e. that what they're essentially saying is that they're living in a dysfunctional marriage and it sucks being them.

Really?? You do make some assumptions, don't you. What it means to me is a reminder that a marriage is not a one-way street. My wife's happiness is as important to me as mine is. I am not suggesting that she be the dictator in any aspect of our relationship. If that were to be the case, she would be one unhappy woman; just as I would be if I were the dictator of our relationship. If my wife is happy, then most likely so am I. And visa-versa. Marriage--give and take; giving room for the other to be themselves and happy (or at least content). Being aware of both parts of the relationship. So, that's what I mean when I say a happy wife is a happy life.
You assumptions shows me where you head is. Hope you aren't married.

You mean like it's a composite or something? Nah, that's not it.
First give away is that all of them are walking as each of them are alone on the road. Probbaly they are and put together. With one exception in the far left. Only he is looking his left behind. And that's why he is put there imo.
Secondly, the lion that goes to the far right disappearing from the camera angle seems like doesn't have a shadow.
Good job though.

This reminds me the people claiming "They imitated LotR!" after watching every epic battle scene on big screen -after LotR era- because of the standard towers that were made to breach a wall.
I remember a huge online 'discussion' after Kingdom of Heaven, yeeeears ago, all around. I couldn't decide if those people percieved LotR as some part of real world history -literally; Middle Earth = Middle Ages understanding- or the other way around. It was painful to watch.
But I think it just shows how powerful is the unconscious visual memory 'coding'. And that tells a lot about the collective memory too. :lol:

Coulda sworn he'd field Salamanders. Also, Trump would go with the Imperial Fists.
Seriously though, if you attempt to read that as a work from many different points -which I believe collapse to one- it's really pretty disturbing -I don't mean it is disturbing as a gutted cute toy- and you cannot get to there by just thinking 'let's design a violently gutted unicorn for kicks and giggles'.
Oh boy. Good job.
I love art so much. When it is done good, it is like the 'Devil' character religious people love to advertise. Almost nobody recognises what is it up to or it already accomplished. :lol:

I have been using an old fashioned kindle for the last 6 years, but never stopped buying books. Not doable. No electronic device can have the charisma of a good book.

When we moved to this house the first thing I did was buy five more bookcases. We didn't have the room in the previous house to put everything on the shelves. Now we have one room that is nothing but bookcases and comfy chairs.

Canova Beach is the only place that allows dogs but they still have to be leashed. Canova is at the end of Eau Gaullie Blvd in Indian Harbor Beach. Other than that you can drive about 12 miles south along the ocean and pick a spot along the empty beach areas. The beach is well hidden behind the sea grapes etc and you can play out there with little harrassment.

What is this from? I have a shortage of fucked-up movies at the moment.
Steam is a digital store for video games. During sales, games are often so cheap that gamers buy more than they can actually play, leading to bought but unplayed games. And yes, Lord Gaben the Fat is its ruler. His banners have a stylized 3 with a red x crossing it out.

"God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn."
Deuteronomy 33:17
"His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."

QuoteIn the Old Testament, the Hebrew word sa’ir is found about fifty-two times. It is related to the term se’ar (“hairâ€), which means a “hairy one.†Mostly the word is used of the male goat that was employed as a sin-offering â€" especially that solemn sin-offering of the day of atonement (Lev. 16).
In two cases, sa’ir is translated “satyr†in the King James Version (Isa. 13:21; 34:14). In those passages it clearly alludes to wild goats of the sort that lived among the ruins of Babylon and Edom.

I got pretty drunk one night and a gay friend convinced me that gays give the best head….he was certainly right about that. But I have never felt the urge to experience it again. I could not imagine using whatever power I had to initiate any type of sex let alone gay sex. Hey make no mistake, I am a male pig, I have thought about telling the gal she could get the job by dropping to her knees…..alas…never actually made it out of the mind. All those good times I could have had if I had been religious, republican or gotdamn commie……hehehehe

Probbaly as old as the times people started to use horses to travel around. Very old? :lol:
There is a world where there are no horses. It's a rather medieval world, chivalry, armor, all that, and the knights ride giant dogs.
One time a knight was dispatched on an urgent mission to get help from a nearby kingdom. He rode out into a fierce storm, making his way in the dark night. Disaster struck when a bridge collapsed and his dog was swept down stream and away from him. He made it to the dark and saw a light in the distance, a farmer's house.
He knocked on the door and the farmer let him in. When he explained his situation the farmer said he'd be right back. He returned with the mangiest, skinniest, ugliest dog the knight had ever seen. But he was desperate and was about to take it when the farmer's wife spoke up.
"Damn it! You can't send a knight out on a dog like this!"

Apparently, humans started to domesticate horses around 3000 BCE, while with dogs this goes to a time range like 30000-15000 BCE.
Still, Gawdzilla's story sounds far more likley to be 'real' than Noah's Arch. :)

QuoteRetired Person's Perspective
1. I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
2. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.
3. You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably very unhappy.
4. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone you've just met? That's common sense leaving your body.
5. I don't like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.
6. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes 1,500 days in a row.
7. I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
8. Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers: If you find one, what's your plan?
9. Everyone has a right to be stupid. Politicians just abuse the privilege.
Old age is not as bad as I thought. It's a good feeling when you just don't give a hoot anymore and you feel happy just to wake up in the morning.

Also, we need to have a serious talk with creationists and clear up the misconception that carnivores = violent monsters. Cats and foxes are carnivores. Yeah, they're murder machines, but they're also super cute.

The backhoe had an OSHA required backup bell but they were working in a high noise areas and the dude had OSHA approved earmuffs. And ne'er the twain shall meet.......... :biggrin:

Like the part where they should have had a walker in that environment to warn them when to not run over co-workers? OSHA didn't fail there.
OSHA doesn't have shit on the Corps of Engineers. A few weeks ago I spent several hours writing a 30 page safety plan so a couple of very experienced $60K a year techs could wall mount some flat screen TV's for them.

I think you are right. Well, except for those that have no brain to use (and will therefore vote Trump) and don't need to 'act' dumb--to get on TV or go to McDonalds or anywhere else. I remember seeing the geography test the plebs took in West Point. 5% could mislabeled the USSR! Think about that--the future super star officers in the Army and 1 in 20 did not know where Russia is??????? Then think of the average Joe--the plumber, ya know--and think what they just don't understand. It is mind boggling. The Leno interviewee is not in the minority.

They were both in "Battleground" but I believe that is about the Battle of the Bulge. Not interested enough to research past that.

The whole issue of the full coverage/little coverage is what gives me some major frustration.
As a guy, I can easily wear shorts, tanktop, no top, etc and not get ridiculed for it, unless there is some feminutjob that sees me... i.e. Anita Sorekosuen.
Women seem to be the most critcal of what other people wear though, where unless it's an extremely religious islamic/jewish/christian guy, they're not going to say anything and are pretty removed from the subject. I wouldn't say supportive.... although while a lot of guys, myself included think and support a woman's right to wear whatever how much/how little they want, bottom line for most people is that it's not our job to say and we keep out of it/are only on the sidelines observing.
It seems the people that give women the most trouble for wearing "too much/too little" are.... women... Some women wear a lot and cover up saying that wearing a little is because of a male-dominated culture and some wear very little and say they do it because of a male dominated culture. It's funny because they're rebelling against a different take of their own movement.

I have it on good authority that it was intended as satire, poking fun at people who seriously argue that sort of thing (assuming that the originals aren't also satirical).

Book master race will never be replaced by pleb electronics.
I don't get that. On a purely rational basis, the electronic version is better.
More words/pound, much more portable, less costly in the long run, less ravaged by wear and tear (though books are more durable in some ways - if you drop one off a window ledge, it's less of disaster), and some e-readers can last weeks without needing to be recharged. All things considered, an e-reader is much better way to go.
But of course, people aren't purely rational. I wonder how much of that is just familiarity, especially during the more formative years growing up. If I took someone who currently favors books, time-traveled to his or her infancy, and dropped that person off in a not too distant future where electronic devices are the norm and books are as archaic as scrolls, would that person's preference as an adult be any different?
I spend all day looking at screens, the last thing I want is a book i am reading to also be sending harmful radiation into my eyes.
I've spent the last 25 years turning paper copies into electronic versions. I still buy books. Sometimes one system is superior, other times the alternative is the best choice. Boss Lady has nearly two thousand books in paper, that many more in the electronic format.
Whatever works for you.

That's already a semi daily chore with a cell phone. Adding an ereader to the recharge queue every couple weeks isn't much of a hassle.
I, too, prefer the dead-tree version of a book when it is available.
I like hardcopies, but when I'm away from home they're awkward. I have a cell phone, 8" tablet, and a "reader only" laptop for when I'm on the Away Team. (I don't know why they keep demanding I wear that red jersey.)

Ah, that explains alot.
Castro was a huge improvement for Cuba, and frankly a huge part of Cuba's problems were American, not Castro, made. Fulgencio Batista was far more ruthless than Castro ever was and was American backed, yet we thought he was just the bee's knees because he protected our interests.
When Castro overthrew Batista, he came to America asking for our support, and we slammed the door in his face for overthrowing our man and daring to lean towards Communism. The resulting embargo fucked over the Cuban economy for the last 40, 50 years and destroyed any chance of a peaceful regime. I'm sorry, but as an American I have no right to judge Castro for a situation we heavily created. And at the end of the day he did more good than what would have happened to Cuba under the American-backed dictatorship.
If it wasn't for Castro, Cuba would likely still be either under a brutal dictatorship or just recovering from political upheaval. The only difference is the media would be telling you how wonderful our puppet is and how nothing ever goes wrong on the Island while the people suffer in silence. Cuba was fucked either way, but at least under Castro we acknowledged that.
Btw, Batista took about 70% of the arable land from the people and granted it to U.S.-leaning landowners and corporations. But that seems oddly inconvenient to bring up when Castro taking property back is brought up. It almost makes Castro's actions sound justifiable, and that just won't do for Americans. Nor the fact that people who complained about Batista's corruption with the American market were systematically imprisoned and tortured, with up to 15,000 protesters abducted.
Cubans who support American intervention in Cuba are delusional. It's just a shame Russia was no better. Hopefully now that Castro is dead and we are in a "new" era, Cuba can start to establish a truly independent state.
To quote a late U.S. president...
QuoteAt the beginning of 1959 United States companies owned about 40 percent of the Cuban sugar landsâ€"almost all the cattle ranchesâ€"90 percent of the mines and mineral concessionsâ€"80 percent of the utilitiesâ€"practically all the oil industryâ€"and supplied two-thirds of Cuba's imports. â€" John F. Kennedy

This should read "When they don't like modern art". That's not 'contemporary', it is 'modern'. (Making fun of Mondrian I guess) It is practically 'ancient' compared 'contemporary'.

Or. Maybe. Just maybe. The hate crime in the US was based on a hate towards religion. And the hate crime in the middle east is because of a law that came out of that same religion. It's asinine to assert that the reason the woman in the US was attacked, was because she was a woman, when everyone is pretty clear on that it's because the person attacking her was blind with hate towards Islam.
Not saying either is OK, but maybe... Just maybe we shouldn't change the cause to force-fit a feminist agenda. Although, that's what sjws tend to do. Force-fit events to suit their agendas.
You tend to lose sight at the real causes and the rest of the causes, when you do that. Nothing will ever get better if that keeps happening.

A perfect stranger -someone you saw for the first time in your life- sitting in an empty car triggered you, because she is a woman who put her bag beside her on the empty seat AND you took her picture to make a 'funny' meme to give a 'message' against SJWs to trigger other people?
You really don't have any idea how fucked up and toxic this is, do you?

I find it interesting that you think that you can tell me not to tell you what to say, when I never did and just point out when you're off topic and fallacious, but at the same time think it's ok for you to tell me what to post. Then, tell me that I'm triggered and emotional, when you're the one that was so triggered enough to unfriend me on facebook. You're transparent, shoe. I see right through your bullshit.

And of course this woman is possibly not some sjw idiot that complains about manspreading. The funny part that was lost on your emotional train wreck of a psyche is that while women that complain about men unconsciously spreading their legs because it's extremely uncomfortable for them to sit with their legs crushing their testicles, women take up way more room with their purses. It's not making fun of the woman in the picture, it's making fun of women that cry "manspreading". Sorry for mansplaining though. I'm just a cis het white scum, I guess

There is a difference between telling someone "that isn't your job", like I should only be restricted to moderating and admining and telling someone that they're off topic, or even criticizing what they're saying.
Edit: not really a difference, but more of that I noticed her getting upset crying "criticism" when she was doing the same to me, like she does to everyone else that disagrees with her. It's apparently ok for her to criticize other people, but when other people do it to her, we're "telling her not to say something" or "How to say something"
Gotta love hypocritical special snowflakes.
I didn't tell you what to say. I didn't tell you what to do. I am criticising something you did. And it explains your frame of mind on this topic perfectly. Something, clearly you can't see as what it is.
And as always you are talking about me. Throwing your usual set of words around. I wish you could see how embarassing this is for you. What you are doing and also your reaction, the way you give that reaction when I point it out. But I think you are too far gone to see that.
'Women take up more space than men with their purse.' This is what you think looking at a woman sitting on an empty seat in an empty car. Why? Because SJWs! That's why.
Anyway, it also means, I can stop taking your opinions on this specific issue seriously. You are acting exactly like those tumblr kids. You are selling the same shit from a different stall.
I also have a friendly advice for you. If you happen to need to sit down on a seat where somebody put his bag on, ask them remove it.
You know, shoe... You have a lot of good points, it's just a shame that they're lost on tangented rants that have nothing to do with the current subject and addressing jokes like they're supposed to be taken seriously.
I know this is going to go over your head and you'll continue to throw the same bullshit to me. But'll try.
I am not your enemy, Pickel. You should take a step back and look where you are standing. You are giving ridiculous reactions to this sjw issue. It's called displaced anger. Things are going bad where you live in, you are deeply worried and as you are ineffective on events -like all of us- you are aiming your frustration and anger to this, because messing up with anything in the real world that is actually going wrong is dangerous.
And this is very similar to what people who wants to be referred as 'pixicans' or extremist sjws do. They do not have any control or effect on real issues and while they don't like what they live in -for any reason- they cope with it by creating fantasy existences and find ridiculous excuses for it. Because American cultural ground is very fertile for this bullshit and it works. And it reached a tipping point when it went through social media 7-8 years ago and then downhill from there. But people who rejects this are trying to treat this extreme sjw problem as a political and an ideological thing. It's not. It's about people and the society they live in. (This is what I said in the other thread and it went over your head then too.)
It's a coping mechanism, trying to make yourself real by channeling whatever negative things you feel into another thing that in return wouldn't be some sort of a threat to you. It's not healthy. It's toxic. It changes how people think, how they see the world in a bad way; it narrows their vision, poisons it and shrinks their own identity. It's destructive and ignorant.

Uh...I had to stare at this for a long time to finally get what the thrust of it was. This is silly. Whats the message? "LOL those silly wiminz, they complain about manspreading and then dare to carry large purses!"
Even though the cry against manspreading has been met with deep ridicule and scorn, and women having large bags is the biggest "who fucking cares" issue of the 21st century. Sorry but this picture is just stupid, and obviously this was made by someone so radicalized by their thinking that they actually believed this was a poignant commentary on gender issues. Think about what it means that you can look at this picture, and instead of rolling your eyes you think "yeah. that's accurate and worth showing to others".
This is dumb as hell and I know deep inside you know it.

I considered that for a second - that this whole racist grandpa routine was a just a character and that the real Trump was halfway decent - but the appointments shot that down. It's pretty much impossible to be a secret liberal and recommend Jeff Sessions for Attorney General.

Yep. That was the top comment on Imgur when that was posted.
Also, just because the Republicans dropped the ball on one horrible piece of legislation, doesn't mean they haven't been frighteningly effective at passing other horrible legislation. Nobody should write these guys off as ineffectual and become complacent.

My rule of thumb is that an item shouldn't have more different kinds of cheese than you have fingers on one hand. So, 6 max.

Math is hard.
Uh, 18 is 50% more than 12.
12 * 150% = 12 * 1.5 = 18.
That's the point, the original questioner didn't know math.

You palpate breasts to check for lumps. If you find lumps in breasts you put them back in the blender and run it for another 15-30 seconds on "pulperize."

We are told time and time again that we don't spend like they use to, that by our age they had 2 cars, 3 kids and a house while paying their way through college on a part time job (slight exaggeration, but not too far), that it's bad for the economy that so many young people don't have money to spend... without taking into account that wages have stayed consistent while prices have skyrocketed and that the job market, like the economy, sucks. Ironically it's the very people who tell us we are failing who broke the system in the first place.

That's absurd.
According to a very rabid anti-cop person on another forum the cops kill 3.1 people per day in the US. That means you have a 1/110,000,000 chance of being killed by cops on any given day. He also refused to break it down into "justified"/"unjustified"/"accidental"/"undetermined", which means the "unjustified" category is smaller than he likes.
But let's look at the Washington Post's numbers: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/19/guns-in-america-for-every-criminal-killed-in-self-defense-34-innocent-people-die/

Super-rich athletes using a sports event on a captive audience is bad. But routine police murder is far worse. Let the police-murder of minorities stop and the protests will go away.
And I want to add that I tried to make an equivalency between the 2 events several times drafting this post and realized there was no equivalency at all. Murder is so far worse than kneeling in protest of the murders...
Sometimes you have to try to put things in words to realize how ludicrous the comparisons are.
CB you do realize that you have a 1/110,000,000 chance of being shot by a police officer in the US on any given day?

Well, first, *I* have little likelihood of being shot by a police officer for just standing around. I'm an 60ish white guy in a suburban neighborhood, I seldom leave my yard, and I drive a police-officer-approved black SUV with clear windows. I don't trigger police fears.
Second, "On any given day" is a false measurement. I will die someday but the likelihood of "any given day" is also logically vanishingly small. Don't use bad stats...
Third, I have a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card on my dashboard and a Bavarian Creme doughnut to offer. JOKE...
You don't understand averages?
BTW, 90% of the people shot by police are white. You shouldn't let the internet lead you around by the nose.

Of course not. But basic facts are easy to find...
I'm just asking that you suggest a good source for your statement about "90% of the people shot by police are white".
"According to Fatal Encounters, the database created by former Reno News & Review editor and journalism instructor Burghart (which tracks all deaths resulting from interactions with police), a total of 1,388 people were killed by police in 2015, 318 (23%) of them black, and 560 (40%) of them white. So roughly 23 percent of those killed by any police interaction in 2015 were black and just over 40 percent were white."
I said shot, you said killed.
Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on September 28, 2017, 08:11:51 AM

You are quite correct. I assumed "shot" in the lethal meaning. I can't find a "wounded but not killed" reference. I expect, from your objection, you have one? I would love to see the difference.
It suggests police wound a whole lot more white people than black people. Is that deliberate?

318 blacks out of a total US population of >330,000,000. Is this holocaust range or not? If you read the internet the cops are machinegunning school buses full of black kids in every city in the US on a daily basis.

That raises an interesting question. Are we not ultimately the choosers of the cops?
Or as Pogo said "We have met the enemy and it is us".
The solution lies at our doorstep. We accept the police we choose, but we maybe could choose better.
I had a college dorm mate. Not my room, but my floor. And he was a complete nutso. He went on to become a State cop... Who chose him? Not me. But he was selected by previous State cops as "one of their own".
Keep in mind that this guy once had a friend drive him around the dorm area standing on the back of a VW bug, stark naked except for a billowing cape and a flaming broom... And that was just one bizarre event
And he became a policeman...

They pick each other like them. You get one of the loonies in there and that person makes sure all the ones who come after is like them. BTW, that's my personal theory of office management too. Like calls to like. One nut gets in and everyone after is just like him/her...

Even a google search didn't tell me what LEOs were, but the context hit me. Law Enforcement Officers...
Of course not. But I know one who fit right in and that is indicitive. And I have met a few (in non-offense situations since I haven't gotten so much as a school zone ticket in 50 years) and I do have a certain justifiable opinion of their attitude.
I'm sorry this is really bothering you. I didn't intend it to be.
As far as I can tell, they are "of a type" just as nuns and teachers and sports coaches are.
Again, sweeping generalizations.
Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on September 28, 2017, 12:27:45 PM
Again, sweeping generalizations.
Well, let's explore that.
On the topic of authoritarianism and police, Robert Balch summarized some of the main traits of LEOs...
a. Conventionalism: rigid adherence to conventional, middle-class values.
b. Authoritarian Submission: submissive, uncritical attitude toward idealized moral authorities of the ingroup.
c. Authoritarian Aggression: tendency to be on the lookout for, and to condemn, reject, and punish people who violate conventional values.
d. Anti-intraception: opposition to the subjective, the imaginative, the tender-minded.
e. Superstition and Stereotypy: the belief in mystical determinants of the individual's fate; the disposition to think in rigid categories.
f. Power and "toughness": preoccupation with the dominance-submission, strong-weak, leader-follower dimension; identification with power figures; overemphasis upon the conventionalized attributes of the ego; exaggerated assertion of strength and toughness.
g. Destructiveness and Cynicism: generalized hostility, vilification of the human.
h. Projectivity: The disposition to believe that wild and dangerous things go on in the world; the projection outwards of unconscious emotional impulses.
i. Sex: Exaggerated concern with sexual "goings on."
In other words, its not just me...
No, you are one of the yowling pack.

Look, I like the police generally. They are essential to an orderly society and generally enforce the law fairly. But you have to acknowledge in return that some are just out of control. My college acquaintance was/is one of those and we have all seen examples of others who should be doing other work better suited to them.
You can't say they are all 100% perfect.

The parties sort of switched sides in the 1960s. The KKK was formed by people who are NOW Republicans and the people who used to be Republicans are NOW Democrats. Thinking that the past political party views are current is an error.
The switch was more or less finalized in the '60s, but it really started with FDR. Before that, the GOP was in the main the liberal party and the Democrats the conservatives -- Teddy and Franklin may have been respectively a Republican and a Democrat, but both were progressives. The switch finalized with the Republicans' Southern Strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy), which was a deliberate and conscious decision to appeal to conservative white voters in the South -- who by the 1940s and onward had voted Democratic out of momentum rather than out of conviction and then only when no other option was immediately available -- on the explicit basis of racism.
Politically speaking, that made sense so far as the numbers went -- Southern 'Democrats' were, by the 1960s, Democrats in name only, voting D pretty much only because Lincoln was an R and they knew how to hold a grudge. Witness the willingness with which they left the party to vote for Thurmond in 1948, Goldwater in 1964, and Wallace in 1968, and the elections of unpledged electors to the Mississippi and Alabama delegations to the Electoral College in 1960.
So the South was ripe for conservative picking, and they quite cheerily went ahead and exploited racial divisions and racism.
tl;dr: So much of America's flaws can really just be sumarised as, "The South is a cespool of bigotry and stupidity, and it sometimes leaks out to other regions."

Texas is merely one state and not the best. But I will grant that Dallas is the last Eastern city and Ft Worth the 1st Western one.

You're right, New Mexico and Maryland are better. But other than that, Texas is the best state in the union. Name one other state that has Austin & the I-35 corridor in it. I'll give you time.
Only problem is all those damned Californians moving here because of Austin's super liberal, super-weird reputation and ruining everything.

Oregonians say the same about Californians, as well. But I trump (can one still use this word any more??) your Austin and the I-35 with the Columbia River Gorge--Pendleton on one end and Portland on the other!

I would probably fill up the G column faster than any other matches.
My favorite has go to be the assertion that science has been wrong in the past (not "scientists have been wrong in the past", they treat science as if it were an individual and not a process) therefore science is flaky and not to be trusted. But religion is 100% the same as it has been in the past (which is simply untrue), therefore it's much more reliable and trustworthy.
Yeah, this is how most Christian arguments seem to go:

Au contraire, it's not pie-in-the-sky at all. Lab-grown meat is a thing right now and shows a lot of promise. Where it might fail is lasting in a pretty competitive market - having companies willing to sell it and consumers willing to buy it for long periods of time. Artificial meat might be the next Trump steak or the next Salisbury steak. We just don't know right now.
If it's too expensive or it is successfully stigmatized as "Frankenmeat", it could fail. But if it's produced at a reasonable price and tastes okay, it could be a huge commercial success. Hell, we could be looking at a future where artificial meat is a commoner's staple and natural meat is a luxury item - the domain of the rich and occasional delicacy of the middle class. You might think that's crazy, but that's essentially what happened to lobster.
Promises.

You could have as dismissively said exactly the same thing about Faraday's little mercury-filled cup (http://www.rigb.org/our-history/iconic-objects/iconic-objects-list/faradays-motor). Less than a hundred years later, and Western civilization was fundamentally dependent on what that little demonstration showed was possible.
You sound like you expect the technology to be fully matured
right now, and that's about as sensible as expecting the universe to have popped into being as-is six thousand years ago. It may never pan out. It may prove wildly successful. Either way, it has to start somewhere. I don't even mind that we won't know for certain about this technology within my lifetime, most likely.
But that's the whole point of having inquisitive people in labs doing weird things with myoblast cultures and 3D printers -- or, for that matter, little glass cups of mercury.

When I was a sophomore in college, my roommate (who had switched from nuclear physics to abnormal psychology) said I would be a great abnormal psychologist myself. I took his tests after the fact and he thought I was good at it. When *I* switched from mechanical engineering to Govt and politiics, he said it was the same thing. So long as I didn't actually engage in politics, (then I would just be a subject of study).
I didn't, so I'm not. But Baruch is, LOL!
I took the courses I was interested in at Purdue, and eventually they forced me to take BAs in Soc and Psych. I was looking at the topics because I wanted to better understand decision-making in war time. They helped me get my Masters in History.

I BS minored in history, mostly Europe pre-WWI and US pre-civil war to understand the psychology of pre-war politics and thought. It's depressing. We aren't there again yet, but I see it coming.

I remain unconvinced that Gore
didn't win in 2000, but the SCotUS short-circuited the recount because it would "harm" Dumbass. Apparently the harm to Gore of stopping it, or the harm to the rest of the country from the cloud it put over our electoral process, didn't count.

Well, yes, I think Gore actually won. It sickens me to say that SCOTUS made a decision and we had to live with it. But I also recognize that had SCOTUS decided for Gore, others would would feel equally that the system cheated them.
But ALSO equally, the US and the world would have been better off with Gore. If the SCOTUS decision was close and thoughtful (which I doubt), it was still a bad decision.
WE THE PEOPLE keep trying to make good Presidential choices (Gore, Obama, Clinton), and we keep getting thwarted.

I did a study on the West African Squadron, mission was to interdict slavers. I found that Northern-born and Southern-born ship's captains had nearly identical "kill" rates, capturing about equal numbers of slavers. The interesting bit was that the "border state" captains had about 50% few captures.

You were lucky. My political case studies were all about WWII and that was always just obvious and horrible. The one from Korea was about the table at the negotiations, which made me want to scream. Vietnam was too current for us to use.

That's the real horror of it. In the first place, I can think of no higher goal of a democracy than the full and accurate counting of the ballots. Five Supreme Court Justices thought otherwise; their goal was to ensure their man got in, not to ensure the vote was fully and correctly counted.
Here's one attorney's explanation for the layman of just how crooked a decision it was (http://www.gumbopages.com/fridge/supremes.html). The five justices as much as admitted they were cooking the books for their man when they wrote into
Bush v. Gore, "Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances, or the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents many complexities" â€" in other words, 'you can't use this as precedent, since us five are explicitly pissing on every states' rights decision we've ever handed down in favor of the states'.

Apparently, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is now regretting her vote for Bush - now that it's way too fucking LATE! I read years ago that she voted as she did in order to be able to retire with a Republican as president, so she would be replaced by a conservative.

I'm trying to remember who it was that says "A dog looks at you as if you're god. A cat looks at you as if it is."
I think that may have been Christopher Hitchens.
Ah, yes, this may be what you're looking for:
“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.â€

I thought it pre-dated Hitch. I was thinking it was Churchill, but his quote on the matter was (roughly) "A dog will look up to you. A cat will look down on you. But a pig will look at you as an equal."
Methinks his goals exceed his grasp...

It goes deeper than that. In The Republic, one of its points against democracy, is that experts should run things, so people who are experts on politics, should run the government (the Guardians). So just make scientists your Guardians. This is a blessing/curse of an expert. A policy wonk, who knows nothing to begin with ... is just a curse.

The Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria AND his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were mortally injured when Gavril Princip ambushed them in 1914. The cartoon is implying this was "just a prank" that started World War I.

Yes, those Serbians and Bosnians, just a laugh a minute ;-(
Of course the inter-laced alliances, the ability to rapidly but inflexibly mobilize, the desire for general war (fever), the thinking that this would be romantic just like the Napoleonic period (4 generations had forgotten that it wasn't romantic), instead of senseless slaughter ... and the elite stupidity of the monarchies ... might have had something to do with it.

Funny how people imagine things really are ... for some, at media parties, they dress up as Nazis ... for others, at media parties, they dress up as Stalin's minions. Both are wrong of course, just culturally related not opposite sociopaths projecting their Id onto another. At media parties they actually take off their human masks to reveal their reptilian interiors.

I probably would have still found it funny, but I do think that having to think about the punch line does make it a little more rewarding when you figure it out. I hate when I randomly start laughing five minutes later, though, when I finally get it and everyone else has already forgotten the joke.
Yeah, when I was a kid you couldn't tell me a joke on Wednesday, lest I laugh out loud during the sermon on Sunday!

Liberals have a patent on naivety. The new anti-Trump book is Cointelpro. And Liberals embrace anyone, even Islamists, if they are anti-Trump. Bannon is a trojan unicorn.
Now I wish people weren't stupid, but then, I wanted a pony for Christmas, but didn't get one ;-)
The giant Donald robot ... that was funny. Pictures of Trump or anti-Trump tweets ... not funny.
And if and when the Clintons are indicted ... not funny either. But then ... Nixon should have gone to the electric chair. That would have stopped a lot of this shit.

Trump is a master mind with godlike powers ... he made Hillary be stupid etc ... says atheists.
There are no coincidences, facts never show that Liberals are FOS.
Bannon ran a fake hit-piece months before he joined the Trump campaign, he was against him before he was for him. This being a different slander (Trump is a mobster from NYC) than the Russian one (Trump is Benedict Arnold). Bannon is a hack for hire. It is clear now, he was sent into the Trump campaign by others, who meant to destroy the Trump campaign. Deep Breitbart. Then he did his best to destroy Trump, after Trump was elected, and Trump brought him, temporarily ... into his administration ... and then fired him. Trump has refused Bannon's new peace offer. If you want to engage is sick sex, go visit the Clintons.
Notice that even this string is now vile politics, all the time.

Yes, Hitler is a funny looking little toadstool. He looks like he's wearing a toothbrush on his lip. Seriously, what the hell's with that mustache? You need a respectable handlebar like von Bismark! And that

The mustache was cut like this because in WWI mustard gas was used, and the full mustache prevented the gas-mask to seal properly.
He left it like that, as the story goes.

That's messed up.
Ultimately, it either gets cleaned up or that historic site just gets trashed. I know which one I'd prefer.
Granted, it's not terribly diplomatic to clean up right in front of worshipers' faces, but it's a necessary job. There's a certain irreverent comedy to be had in a lowly janitor breaking the spell and treating the scraps of paper as what they literally are compared to the worshipers treating them as communication to the divine.

Actually, that is part of a bigger problem, as to the nature of modern Israel. We can't all be Germany or Sweden where we take all the illiterate poor in ... for exploitation ;-) ... yes, Germans and Vikings are so ... trustworthy.
Orthodox Jews reject most Jewish Israelis for religious reasons. Israelis don't accept Palestinians who are born there ;-( .. why would you expect them to accept a bunch of non-Jewish refugees of any skin color? They did accept most of the Falasha, and many other non-white Jews before that. Move all the refugees to California.
So I can't let you crypto-anti-semites get away with this even though I don't support the modern Jewish state. In fact, Israel accepts Chinese immigrants ... if they are Jewish (crypto-Jews from China). It really has nothing to do with skin color ... don't project your (death to American South) fantasies on other countries.

Not a belief, oh broken record. I don't believe in demigods, I are one. A universal deity is more speculative, metaphysically. But no one here would be interested, and I am still working on it (see Judeo-Islamic Middle Ages). Still working ... I do some work on that project each weekend.

The answer is ... Hartford Connecticut ... so what is the question?
Technically, most Egyptians consider themselves Arabs, not Africans, because of prestige reasons. Of course Egypt is in Africa, and many Egyptians have Nubian ancestry (Black) but most are Hamito-Semitic (Brown). Like in most places, the lighter your skin, the higher caste you are (because it is assumed you live indoors, you don't work in the fields). N Italians have this prejudice against S Italians for example. The N Italians are more Franco-Germanic in ancestry ... the S Italians are more Italo-Arabic. But of course, these biases are only bad, if White Americans hold them.

Okay, this one I can explain. Nuclear fusion =/= fire. And ballparking the sun's distance based on wildly inaccurate assumptions is hilariously horrible science.

That is hilarious! I just watched an episode of "Fake, Fact, or Fiction about videos. Almost all are fake, so my enjoyment is more about thinking how they were faked.
In this case, I assume the person just had a fake hat and pulled his coat collar up over his head... I did that one Halloween when I was 10.
Not funny ... and neither were you if you scared people.

I'm playing. A group of us elsewhere once had a month-long discussion debating what would happen if you fell through a hole through the Earth. (and there is really only one correct answer)
But let's have a question (and those who KNOW the answer stay away). What is the closest star to Earth?
The sun, the one we call Sol.
I actually once got into an argument with someone about whether or not the sun is a star. I really wish I had a zinger for exactly that moment, but all that happened was my chin dropped and my eyes rolled.

Just an educated guess, but the enormous heat and pressure would basically squash/fry the person attempting this. Also, the rapid pressure changes would knock the person out pretty quickly.

Physicists rely on unrealistic simplification to understand things. They would imagine a tube, filled with a vacuum, extending from one side of the Earth to the other, thru the core, with no thermal or other physical involvement, just gravity. Then a baseball dropped down thru the vacuum would simply oscillate up and down the tube (assuming no friction with the walls of the tube). It is an example of a simple harmonic oscillator.

Mine stay in the kitchen whenever I am there. Cuz that's where the food comes from (so far as they know).
And when I'm not filling their bowls endlessly (how do they EAT so much?), I'm cutting off small tidbits of cheese of beef or chicken from my own meals to toss to them. And then when I'm eating dinner, I toss kibbles around on the wood floors for them to chase. And they LOVE that!

Althea's not much for cheese, but I can get her to dance for chicken.
Actually, Althea has a love/hate relationship with cheese. She insists on her tithe from the human food regardless of what it is, and dances just as energetically for cheese as she does chicken... and once it hits the floor, she remembers she doesn't like it.

A friend of mine, fresh of high school (1969), got a construction job and found a trailer park with a vacancy. He'd looked at some really nice apartments, but the manager gently told him he couldn't afford them.
When he was moving into the trailer one of his neighbors offered to help him. It was the manager from the apartments. He couldn't afford to live in the places he was renting out. Looks like nothing's changed in fifty years.

I have seen some funny green text, and if it's in the same vein as those... okay, it's a funny post. But it was written in a way that really strikes me more as someone who thinks he is legitimately criticizing Colbert and is butthurt about him rather than joking about how audiences admittedly go overboard on him and how he is very focused on Trump jokes.

Comedy, particularly good comedy, requires context to be funny.
The joke isn't particularly funny on it's own, it requires the context of Colbert's brand of humour. However the post seems more to be crying about Colbert making a living at Trump's expense rather than actually addressing how people really do go crazy over repetitive jokes on his part.
It seems more whiney than stabby.

Rather it seems like you're having a fit because your funnyman is considered a propagandist by non-retards.

Only people who dress up as 18th century characters like that stuff ;-) Had there been a more developed "media" in 1750, perhaps then we could have a similar graph .. for the various status quo vs avant garde composers. Any such graph would depend on contemporary (1750) public.

I don't like coffee. Quite frankly, the smell makes me a bit nauseous. Like fish being reheated in a microwave in a small office.

Not having coffee puts me in a foul enough mood to kick puppies.

The "malakim" or divine messengers in that image are Roman, not Jewish. But at least they aren't cherubs (a Hebrew word, but "putti" in Italian, flying babies who accompany Venus). "Cherubim" are semitic angels in the form of whirlwinds .. think dust devils and chinooks.

I saw an interesting 6 part story on military folly. One part of one of those talked about Mussolini. I felt kind of sad for him. He didn't want to go to war early (not ready) and he wanted to be on the winning side. The surprise collapse of France took everyone by surprise, including the Germans. Since it looked like Germany was winning, and France hadn't quite surrendered yet, he attacked France. Of course he was already friends with Adolph, so it was a no-brainer ... no-brainer ...
Italy had a hard time in WW I also. They were an armed neutral, on the side of the Central Powers ... and when it looked like the Central Powers were going to lose, they got impatient and attacked Austria thru the Alps. That didn't go too well either. Remember, modern Italy was only about 50 years old in WW I, same as modern Germany. Young Rommel fought on the French front initially, and eventually finished the war killing Italians for the Austrians, on the Italian front. Italy had previously attacked Austria with French support in 1859, part of building modern Italy.

My ex is part Italian, so ... is my daughter. So I will defend them, even if they're the most hyperbolic of Europeans (sorry France, you are #2 as opera buffa). My ex's grandparents left early in the 20th century (poverty) ... so Mussolini isn't on them. So I am told, they were entirely opposed to Il Duce just the same. They also didn't claim victimization or identity politics, but were opposed to their children (like my father in law) knowing any Italian or having any interest in Italy.
When the Italians revolted against Mussolini, and he was rescued by Hitler, and then he sided with Hitler, given that the Wehrmacht was caring out war crimes against the Italian people at that point, one can understand their lack of forgiveness.

My 37 pound tomcat likes having his belly scratched. He's an attention whore.
Yeah, my Althea is the same way; fumps over on her side and just begs for bellyrubs. However, there's a random time limit before she deploys the "OMB I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I HAVE TO CLAW AND GNAW!!" thing.

As soon as a bear decides to kill you, you're only surviving if you're really lucky. You can't outrun them, you can't outclimb them, you can't easily kill them. A grizzly can tank a shotgun blast to the face and keep on coming.

"Don't try to outrun one of Dominaria's grizzlies; it'll catch you, knock you down, and eat you. Of course, you could run up a tree. In that case you'll get a nice view before it knocks the tree down and eats you."

Obviously having a Spanish surname doesn't mean you speak Spanish (just like I don't speak Greek)... but still... if I was to say people should be barred by law from speaking Greek, or a Schmidt said people shouldn't speak German, etc. etc. ... they may be justified in some sense of saying that, but it still sounds stupid af.

Cracked up. Though it IS possibly one of the few reasons to have an AK-47.
BTW, in 1976 a friend and I canoed 10 miles up a Canadian Lake heading for a primitive campsite and passed a spot called "Bear Island". My friend wanted to stop and look around. I said "Are you fucking nuts"? That's not a name, it's a warning!
You are being listened too, all the time. Just speak louder into your Alexa, I can't hear well ;-)
Since I love languages, I have no fear of people speaking a language I don't know. I consider it to be nice to hear something new. English accents are a treat too.

Imagine if any other country had this mentality. An American family travels to Paris for vacation, and they're told, "Sorry, guys, but you can't speak your first language here because it makes us feel uncomfortable. You'll have to either stay quiet for the entirety of your vacation or learn to speak Paris."
(Yes, that last word was intentional.)

A guy I know claims that "prophecy" tells us that Chump is expected to be the last US president. I didn't really listen, since he often talks about woo woo silliness. But it does seem that the office of president will be greatly reduced in influence from here on out, if not completely abandoned. But maybe that's just my pessimism showing.

And I think Francis is supposed to be the last pope, there was some "prophecy" about that from the 12th century.

Fake Presidents since 1963. Bill Clinton wasn't a Democrat, Dubya wasn't a Republican, Obama wasn't a Democrat either, Trump isn't a Republican. And Hillary, like Bill, isn't a Democrat. See, if you can freely redefine labels ... they you can make a word mean anything you want.

Throwing Sarah Sanders' family out wasn't enough, the owner then stalked her to harass her at another spot! Does anyone reasonably believe other Democrats won't escalate this further to actual violence? After hearing Waters and Booker one would have to wonder if they even care?

Where I come from, law enforcement gets discounts when they go to restaurants and uniformed military personnel get to board first on commercial flights and are often applauded by fellow passengers. Clergy usually don't pay rent and evangelicals work without paying income tax. Republicans control the executive and legislative branches of the federal government and 33 of 50 state governments. Trump supporters and MAGA hat wearers have their president in office and he is tripling the number of ICE agents. Conservative FoxNews is the most watched of the mainstream media outlets and conservative news dominates alternative media on radio and YouTube.

Don't take it at face value, it's not a serious meme. It's a joke along the lines of deus vult or hitler did nothing wrong. Sure, some people might really believe it, but they're nutcases. It's actually a running commentary on the influence of anime on real life.
A legitimate news station took some airtime to basically fearmonger about an anime cutesy/horror visual novel. Some jokester photoshopped it so that instead, they're declaring the superiority of anime girls over real women, which is absurd. The absurdity is the joke.
And now that joke has been murdered by over-explanation.

There was an article on BBC News that the refs might have been desensitized to potential penalties because of Neymar's overtheatrics; even some of the BBC commentators on the live feed thought there were a couple penalties that should have been called that weren't because the refs just assumed Brazil's players were overacting.
Meanwhile, FUCK YEAH; SEMI FINALS! for England! By golly, I'm having a great World Cup even without Team USA being in it.

I'll agree to the point that there was one call in which a penalty could have been issued. Which was Kompany's intervention.
That being said:
I don't believe in karma, along with gods. But I will enjoy it when it's presented to me on a silver platter though.
Neymar being the boy who cried 'Penalty' had this coming.

Mostly soy-boys are upset, because it was revealed that Elon is a huge R-Pac contributor. Go figure, I thought he was a Marxist ;-)
I've known for years that Elon was as disconnected from reality. Knowing that he's an R-Pac contributor is not really a surprise to me. Big businessmen tend not to be Marxist.

I guess the Roman empire didn't really fall, it just transformed into the Roman Catholic Church. It transferred its authority from the secular state to the theistic state, and did quite well in the process.
As Pope Leo X is claimed to have said, "It has served us well, this myth of Christ."

The Western Roman Empire continued with mock-paganism, as did the Eastern Roman Empire. Both violated the rule against graven images, but then you can't expect much from Gentiles.

seeing old injection pens brings back bad memories. I can't find an image of it, but back in the late 1980s they released a 'gun' or launcher for syringes to loaded into the device, aimed it on a soft part of the skin like arm or leg or stomach, and BANG! it shot the insulin in like a bullet.
every injection area was covered in sores and lumps from the impact of this thing.

I've only been there a couple of times because my posse was drunk and we thought it would be funny, and I probably wouldn't go there sober because... meh... but I don't know if it's so much the food (at least here) as much as it is the whole image of basically being a joke rather than a legitimate eating place.

We aren't into boobs? Uh, no. I can go to PornHub any time I want and get all the boobs I want. Hooters is obsolete. lol
Ordinarily I'd say having physical contact is better then just watching it online, hell i was at a bar one time a male stripper was performing and I had the luck of getting called on stage for him to guide my hand down his body (he was covered in oil), but if these places have a strict no touching or interacting with the ones performing, which might be hard to resist temptation for some, then it's no surprise most don't even bother and just watch porn online. You have as much interaction with it as their strict rules would have, and it's easier.

I mean if it had quality writers and artists, that could actually be a really dope story. Those characters were essentially the comic book characters of their age, so it would be cool to see something pay homage to that.
My guess is they are much more preachy than superhero-y though.

I don't know a lot about physics, but I'm pretty sure that's not right.
So the Earth is composed entirely of water? Not really.
QuoteAll Earth's water in a bubble
This drawing shows blue spheres representing relative amounts of Earth's water in comparison to the size of the Earth. Are you surprised that these water spheres look so small? They are only small in relation to the size of the Earth. This image attempts to show three dimensions, so each sphere represents "volume." The volume of the largest sphere, representing all water on, in, and above the Earth, would be about 332,500,000 cubic miles (mi3) (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers (km3)), and be about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) in diameter.
The smaller sphere over Kentucky represents Earth's liquid fresh water in groundwater, swamp water, rivers, and lakes. The volume of this sphere would be about 2,551,000 mi3 (10,633,450 km3) and form a sphere about 169.5 miles (272.8 kilometers) in diameter. Yes, all of this water is fresh water, which we all need every day, but much of it is deep in the ground, unavailable to humans.
Do you notice the "tiny" bubble over Atlanta, Georgia? That one represents fresh water in all the lakes and rivers on the planet. Most of the water people and life on earth need every day comes from these surface-water sources. The volume of this sphere is about 22,339 mi3 (93,113 km3). The diameter of this sphere is about 34.9 miles (56.2 kilometers). Yes, Lake Michigan looks way bigger than this sphere, but you have to try to imagine a bubble almost 35 miles highâ€"whereas the average depth of Lake Michigan is less than 300 feet (91 meters).

You do realize that they can't legally kill gays once over here, right? (Nor are they necessarily supportive of their country's practices.)
An even stranger thing than liberals "supporting" muslims is gay people supporting conservatives who just fought tooth and nail to not let them marry. Hell, some of them would bring back the kick-down-the-door anti-sodomy laws if they could.

Misses the point don't you think, if people come directly from a country where killing gays is legal, to a country where it's illegal, many of them might think their way of how the law should work might conflict a tiny bit.
Gays supporting conservatives has some mental gymnastics to it, almost as bad as thinking an anti gay society will just blend in with a western society seamlessly :)

The storm is so strong that it has apparently cut power to all of America (including Hawaii and Alaska) as well as Canada and Mexico.
USA (325.7 million) + Canada (36.29 million) + Mexico (127.5 million) = 489.49 million. That's about 10.5 million short, so let's toss in Portugal (10.37 million) to reach the 500 million threshold.
Ha! I love it! :-P

And a great example of species adaptation to an environment. "snowshoe" feet, white fur instead of the leopard orange, limbs great for powering through snow and climbing steep terrain rather than running on a savannah.

I love watching the tigers at the Columbus Zoo. They have this way of looking at zoo patrons as if they're judging how tasty they might be.

Looks like a nice enclosure for the big guys. One of my fav places to see the bengals is in Africa World, USA. They have a huge area surrounded by a wide and deep moat. It is lower than the viewing areas circling it which affords an excellent view of it--usually there is a trainer or two working with the tigers (and one white lion) and at times they get up close and personal with them--wresting and putting them thu their paces. There is also a glass enclosure where one can get very close to tiger cubs--can't touch but are only a couple of feet away.
Another fav (but have only been there twice) is a safari land; it is a huge park like setting all surrounded by a huge fence with smaller areas also fenced in. The park has lions, elephents, several antelope, black and grizzly bears, two cheetahs, ostrich and emu, giraffes and other creatures. One drives through the park in your own car, going through gates into the various sections. Had an emu step in front of the car, come to the driver's side outside mirror and entwine it's neck with it--making love? Then intently peered into the car, pecked at the window as though insisting on getting in. But the real highlight came while in the lion enclosure the pride was chastising two juvenile lions (as we learned later). They were slowly following the two offending lions who were next to the fence moving slowly. A lioness stopped next to the driver side door and roared it's loudest several times--that was a bit of a nerve wracking moment or two. :)) Great place and the animals were well kept.
I went once with some friends to a similar place between Dallas and Ft. Worth. It was very cool. I couldn't believe how big the rhinoceros was - it was bigger than the car we were in! They gave us little buckets with feed so we could actually feed the animals, and a hippo came right up to the passenger side, where I was sitting, and opened it's mouth really wide, but I didn't see it, at first, since I was looking the other direction. When I turned and saw the huge mouth right next to me, I quickly rolled the window up, as if that would do any good. Then later we got to ride an elephant, just around a circular enclosure. His kids had as much fun as we adults, if not more. I don't recall any big cats, though.
Columbus Zoo (https://www.columbuszoo.org/) is really good â€" we are the home of Jack Hanna (https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/about/learning-about-the-zoo/jack-hanna), after all â€" although by a tiny margin I still think the Toledo Zoo (https://www.toledozoo.org/) is better.
A lot of that is emotional, that's my home zoo, and I can still remember the hand-lettered signs in the museum that had been done by my grandfather, going behind the scenes with the curator, Dan Danford â€" I suppose my family must have known him through Grandpa â€" and the annual picture sitting on top of the concrete elephant with my brother and then with my sister when she came along, or with the Galapagos tortoise. When my cousins came into town for our grandma's funeral in 2006, we went to the zoo... and all of us crowded onto and around the stone elephant together for the first time in something like 35 years. I mean, just the news that in November they're re-opening the old tunnel entrance that goes under the Anthony Wayne Trail (it's been closed since 1977) choked me up. It was the best way to approach the zoo -- you left a parking lot, and emerged into animal heaven.

What the fuck is this monstrosity?
Candy corn. No one buys it. No one makes it. You just get a barrel of it one day sometime in your 60s. It never expires.
Also, the candy corn in the barrel replenishes itself at a rate of 1/4 lb per day until it is completely filled. But it has to be eaten (either by humans or animals after being thrown in the garbage where it belongs) for this effect to be triggered - just storing candy corn in another container will not trigger this effect.

I think everyone who sees it has the feeling that they have been in that empty restaurant where they tried to hold onto what remains of the evening after the dance ends, the theaters close, and the crowds go home.

Yeah, I guess I would be a terrible art critic. I just assume that the door isn't there because the picture doesn't extend far enough to see the door. Unless the artist clearly states otherwise, I don't know why you would think anything else.

I love your dog!!
I have one that is about his size except more tan in color. And he gets that same look when I put any kind of clothing on him. Even if he is shaking with the cold, if I put anything on him and put him down, he walks around the house stiff legged and looking indigent.

I capture and release lizards, but most bugs or insects I find in my house are dead. My dad likes to release spiders, but I don't like getting close enough to capture those. We get those wolf spiders in this area, which are like giant jumping spiders, and they freak me the hell out. Tried killing one with a shoe once and it jumped out of the way twice. Ain't no way I'm capturing something that moves like that. And wasps can go fuck themselves. Bees are usually harmless, but wasps are mean. Occasionally, one will build a nest above my front door and chase me away when I'd try to get inside.

Spiders (even though I'm arachnophobic) and moths I will save, they have a use in keeping a balance in nature and even respect the little buggers.

Black widows, brown recluses ... bad
Wolf spiders and tarantulas ... good
Yes, hornets and wasps are all assholes
Let a native brown tarantula sit on my arm 16 years ago, as big as my outstretched hand legs and all. Had a friend who knew all about them, it was living in the bushes in front of my house, and I didn't know it was there. Had another tarantula years earlier, jump off the roof of the garage, and land on my head (partly) as a means for it to get back down. I figured it had climbed up the cottonwood tree, then jumped down (no silk would hold it) onto the roof, for hunting. Then the greedy thing couldn't find a way down. It waited until nightfall in hiding, and then opportunistically used my head as a short cut. Didn't land dead center, I just felt this mouse size thing land on my head, which slid directly off onto the ground. Even in the dark with no light, I could see how big that stupid bastard was!
My nephew held a tarantula in his hand as a school trip to a wildlife center and said it was no big deal, he wasn't scared, and it just kinda tickled.
I could never do that, I can't even look at a picture of one without looking away, yet I still respect them and wish I wasn't psychologically withdrawn by them. I actually really like other things people are scared of, snakes, lizards, rats, mice, I find them fascinating and cute.

Depends on the species and circumstances. Wasps are universally predators, and while sometimes a bee will fall prey to one, and while wasps do occasionally raid bee nests, most of their victims are pest insects. I've found most wasps and hornets to be quite inoffensive, even docile. Yellowjackets are assholes, though. They receive no mercy.
Had a bumper crop of tomatoes this year and noticed for the first time small wasps in the garden. Found out that they lay eggs in the tomato worms, which killed them. Left the wasps alone--had only one or two of those nasty worms this year. Hope they are around next year.

He keeps catching up with you and deliver letters to you for quests or money etc. He just runs in front of you and you can't run away from it. Well of course you can, but esp. when it happens so often in a short time it is funny. He ends up in your house suddenly...etc.

If Republicans didn't choose Trump for a second term it would send a clear message they disapproved of his presidency without involving the Democrats and it would avoid the drama and fingerpointing of an impeachment. I am confident if the Republicans didn't choose Trump for a second term he is narcissistic enough to run as a third-party candidate and take all his supporters with him, splitting the Republican party and clearing the field for the Democrats. Of course, I described this as a fantasy because the Republicans would never let that happen. Now that I think about it, Trump should secretly threaten to Republican leaders to leave and run third-party. I bet he could blackmail the Republicans into setting him up handsomely after his second term.

There were dirty reasons why they shafted Nixon ... he threatened to spill the beans on the JFK assassination. There was a reason why Nixon picked Mr Warren Commission Corruption .. Gerald Ford, as his new VP. If he hadn't of resigned, and took his secret to the grave, a grave event would have happened. He knew that Ford would pardon him. George HW was one of 4 future presidents involved in Dallas. He was deeply involved in the Bay of Pigs, and had been promised the VP position for 1968, he had to wait another 12 years, and then be involved in the attempted assassination of Reagan.

know whats funny, theres a gay porn star who was kind of popular some years ago, Colby Keller, who was a porn star, artist and song writer. However in the elections, he voted for trump, and it made the gay porn fandom community explode at the idea of a gay man voting for him or any republican, and since then its had people calling him a trump supporter for it.
However, when interviewed on the reasons why, he told everyone his reasons wasn't because he supported trump, but because he saw trump as a perfect example of someone who could destabilize the current system, such as the republican party or just pushing the democrats into having someone better in place to lead, not trusting Hillary either. So he figured since both were awful choices, just pick the worst one now and see it producing something better down the line.

His reasons were because of the larger picture and problem with america as it stands right now, and it makes a lot of sense. The petty regards for whos best candidate right now in one of the most powerful nations on earth matter far less then the state of the world, culture, the environment, and if choosing a joke president whos basically a cartoon villain is used as a means to show the worst of the worst and give people a sense of wanting something better, then it made a lot of sense why he voted for such a person as trump.

The timing of the caravan scare is not a coincidence. The ones who have something to gain from it are the Republicans, who people scared of the brown boogieman will go to vote for this election. These people who are supposedly mostly strong men, yet simultaneously disease ridden to the point of barely hanging on to life, won't be here for months. Yet there are troops at our border now, equal to the number of troops in Afghanistan. Why? As a political stunt. Trump wants people to believe they are being "invaded" by these people seeking asylum here, and to see the sympathetic Democrats as equally dangerous.
Speaking of the election, I love this sign I saw as I entered the early polling place. Keep in mind, this is a very red region of Texas where I saw this sign. "Sick and tired yet? Vote Republican!" What? If you're tired of the status quo, you should vote for the same people all over again? How the fuck does that make any sense?
I bet once this election is over we'll cease to hear much about the so-called "caravan."

You're right. Soros hiring a bunch of Hondurans to lead a caravan doesn't make sense if it helps out the Republicans. So either:
A. Soros is a double-agent, trying to get Republicans elected. Or...
B. Soros had nothing to do with the caravan, and you need to stop giving credibility to stupid conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theory? Trump sucks Putin's dick? Really?
Fact is, some people can't accept reality, that Trump is President. So much into revenge that they would destroy the US, to genocide all the Deplorables who voted for him. Traditionally, Democrats enslave, they don't genocide (unless you are Native American).

No ... Communist = kill millions of Ukrainian kulaks, starve to death millions of Chinese peasants (see Cambodia also). Communists are as puritanical as any Nazi ... both are socialist ... they want utopia ... with no humans at all (the only way to get a utopia). Why only hatred of German socialism (National Socialist Party) ... do Russians and Asians not count?

Sure, the furry community has some rotten eggs in it, some bad stories of people going to far with it. But that is because of the individuals, not because things like furry-cons promote sexual deviancy .
My boyfriends have fursona's, these are them.

they don't dress up like these characters, they don't own fur suits, they don't go to furry-cons, they haven't changed their first or last names to match with their characters. All they do is roleplay as them in the games they came from (world of warcraft) and occasionally write fan fiction about them or pay for commissions to have artists draw them.
Considering all the stuff in the world that is pretty fucking awful, just taking a few examples of people taking their fandom to far and classing all people in that group as the same kind of deviant is pretty shallow for people to do. It be like how because theres a couple cases around the world of gay men being pedophiles, and having Christians accusing all gays of being pedophiles because of it.

I dunno. My ex was (is) one, and if he wanted to move back in with me, even as just roommates, I'd have him back in a second.
I will say that
some of the most completely mental fans I've met were furs (anime fans generally speaking are a very close second in the creepy stakes, in my experience), but also that they don't hold an exclusive on being mental fans. Almighty Bob, the 'Beauty and the Beast' TV series fans in the 90s... who inevitably insisted on wearing Spandex despite almost universally having bodies never meant to be wrapped in Spandex. And, tragically, I am reminded of the guy we called 'Sailor Dude' who dressed up as Sailor Moon for conventions. He didn't bother actually trying to look like the character, he just put a Sailor Moon costume on his peculiarly hairy body.
So basically, it depends on the individual â€" like every other would-be generalization.
I dunno. I could never date a furry, much less live with one because I hate scooping the litter box.
Every furry ive ever met were not only fucking weird for being in to furry-themed sex, but also because they were arrogantly stupid and annoying.
I am not the only person with this experience.
They are weird, annoying, and stupid. A trifecta of nope for me.
See, this is why if they ever remake Night of the Lepus, I think they should add a furry character who wears bunny ears to his office job and just thinks it's swell when the killer giant rabbits start attacking.

Guess I should generalize all football fans then.
Maybe I should extend that to all American liberals saying their all sjw screechers because I saw a few people online doing it.
And all black people are low life street things with no education.
Here's the thing, you want the freedom to criticise anyone, that's fine. But if you think that extends into generalisation of people, thats not fine, that's just being shallow.

You can't choose your birth place. Being proud of something completely random is not just weird, also idiotic, bluntly put. Because it is not something people work for or do something to deserve. Completely random. It is not even something in the category of wrong or right. Don't confuse loving the place you were born or live in with nationalism.
Life experience points that people who are 'proud' of their nationality are usually the people who don't have something of their own to be proud of. And interestingly enough, they don't neccessarily love the place they live either. Quite often you'll find that nationalists are nationalists because they have some sort of a problem with the place they were born and the people in it. Anyone who is content; happy with the place they live would have a less tendency to identify themselves as nationalist.
There are people who love the country they live in, work for it, fight for it, but not born in there. Mostly, they are not nationalists. Nationalists are almost always 'I was born here' kind of types. And they are a type.
Pretty much like religion. Have you ever met someone who's converted to another religion? I have. They are very different than others who didn't choose it or pushed into it. It's unaviodable.
Is that all a series of generalisations? Yes it is. Everything we talk and write about is based on generalisations we make from our experiences. People are not that complicated. Choices are not that many.
I live in a football country and whenever I meet a football fan, I know the type. Yeah he might be different, but 9o% of the time he is not. I'd prefer an anime fan personally.
And in the country you live in, a short time ago in human life, holiganism was a huge problem. They managed to tame it. Now, it is not. But the thing is football fanatism is always a problem in the world. Because it mostly includes the type of people who wold use violence over a sports game and kill each other. And they are fans, not a special group. Also there are people who peacefully watch the games. But we don't know much about their type, do we?

You can't choose your skin tone either, but your not making the same argument for black pride are you?
And its not the same as religion, because while religion is based on made up hokum, being proud of your counties achievements are physical and real achievements.
I'm a gay diabetic athiest, in my country I get a free health service so I don't die from my condition, I can choose to not believe in any religion without repercussion, and I live in a country that now makes it so I don't get stoned to death for loving someone of the same gender, with the option to marry, adopt or give blood, all things my country advanced to. Thats something worth being proud of.
I'm also the grandson of a war hero who fought against actual nazis (not pseudo-nazis people claim today) and have a very good reason to be proud of not just him but those who fought against that kind of oppression.
If we want to claim though nationalism is like religion, well then so are certain political ideologies that on both side of the spectrum give into blind fanaticism for their cause. It isn't just the opposing side you route for in that regard.
Sorry drunkenshoe, I like you, but not gonna be able to agree with you on this. I have every reason to be proud of where I come from. I'm not blind to its flaws and faults or past and today, but I've more reason to be proud of the good that my country has in it, then being anti-nationalist who hates their own country, even though said people will gladly use all the freedoms their countries given them to express how much they hate it.

Why didn't you say gay pride instead of black? It would be the obvious one to go. You can't choose being gay either. They are same things to me. Do you recognise one but not other. That would be hypocritical though.
People invented gay or black pride to go against very real circumstances they were born into. The fact that you were born in a time and place -something random- where/when being gay is accepted as water and that may be even it sounds silly to you now, doesn't change the fact that those 'made up notions' helped gay and black people a lot. So, yes it is real. You are a part of it.
QuoteAnd its not the same as religion, because while religion is based on made up hokum, being proud of your counties achievements are physical and real achievements.
It is again random. The time and the place you were born. If you were born around the beginning of the century (20th) it wouldn't be this.
So when we say 'birth is a random event' it is also about the time. Cannot be seperated. It's just circumstances that has nothing to do with you, what you do or accomplish. But politics, economy, power.
Nationalism is the same thing as religion. Actually, Nationalism is not something existed 200 years ago. We look back and call what is there nationalism, but it is not. It's the religion of the modern state, the religion modern state created. Along with national language and army. All relatively new concepts.
QuoteI'm a gay diabetic athiest, in my country I get a free health service so I don't die from my condition, I can choose to not believe in any religion without repercussion, and I live in a country that now makes it so I don't get stoned to death for loving someone of the same gender, with the option to marry, adopt or give blood, all things my country advanced to. Thats something worth being proud of.
You made it a bit dramatic, but then see, here is where our way of thinking differs. Yours is like a placebo to feel good? It's like people sending negative/positive energy to the universe and feeling good. Things do not happen or made for the good of the people. Or so people wold be fine.
The reason Western cultures started to recgonise the gay rights some time ago and worked to make life easy for these group of people, because the time has come for that society to get various
benefits from it. Life quality which directly affects the society, work force, identity politics...vote, money, economy...culture. Culture can be transformed into politics and economy. It's done for the order, to get bigger. And yes it is very important. And I get that you are proud of the achievement. I am talking about the reasons.
QuoteI'm also the grandson of a war hero who fought against actual nazis (not pseudo-nazis people claim today) and have a very good reason to be proud of not just him but those who fought against that kind of oppression.
But the thing is he didn't have much choice, did he? He was born there at that time. He didn't have a choice to say, 'hey this is fucking stupid, fuck you.' My mind doesn't work that way, I can't go on and say 'hey they did it, so we could have a choice'. It's romantic bullshit. 10s of millions of people up there in Europe, down here in Anatolia. This war, that war. Anyone who was born at the beginning of the century didn't have a life. For what?
QuoteIf we want to claim though nationalism is like religion, well then so are certain political ideologies that on both side of the spectrum give into blind fanaticism for their cause. It isn't just the opposing side you route for in that regard.

Your minority type (such people will always be a small minority) are more interesting people of course. And you are sometimes more articulate than some who post here (hence more interesting to read).
But in GB (at least England) and in the US, we have turned against internationalism ... for whatever real reason, probably emotional. It could have been people who prefer "white" chocolate as being the 5th columnists, the target of suspicion. As it is, looks like the US, Canada and the UK will break up. Anglophone hegemony couldn't last forever. Nothing does. I hope you enjoy Russian or Chinese occupation. I happen to like Russians and Chinese, being open minded about non-Americans.

Thanks, Baruch. But if America wants to finish 21st century as a super power it has to do it in new terms and it won't hang on anything emotional as you put it. Or ideologies or whatever. It will shred the old. It won't give up. Trust me, it never does. Between us, that's why we trust it, lol.
The US needs to engineer a new society. Not for the good of the people or democracy, so it would stay in business. There is nothing left to sell. US has to end its dependence on carbon based energy. Renew its infrastructure. It's a very long way to go, has to start as soon as possible. That would change the world economy as we know it and open a stage for a new technology age. New ways of consumption. New identity politics. New ways of life.
Do you really think the coming generations give the slightest damn about internationalism or any ideology old generations get emotional over? That's our world.
I am so fucking proud of this patch of dirt I happen to be standing on!

PS, DS, after you left, I think, there was some formatting problems with the forum.
Some people's avatars were fine, others were really messed up. But we couldn't tell for ourselves.
Your's is in the latter category, as far as I can tell.

Pacific, Mo, had a "hundred year flood" in '08. Afterwards people had the choice to stay or go. The ones that stay had to jack up their homes above the highest water level possible in their area.
Maybe not a good town name. How about Apocalypse Indiana? Yeah, not a real place, but I hear Indiana sucks.

Shamelessly stolen from Reddit:
Quote from: RedditThis happened yesterday, but anyways here goes.
Yesterday, there was a Magic the Gathering tournament at my local hobby shop. My girlfriend decided to tag along and come support me. I ended up doing pretty poorly (1-3), but the hobby shop gave out a consolation prize of a random foiled uncommon card. The card that I received was called "Thought Erasure" and immediately held the card up to my girlfriend and said "AND I CAST THOUGHT ERASURE, BE GONE THOT!" as a joke, but said it pretty loudly. The shop is pretty small and a lot of people caught wind of my act and needless to say my girlfriend was very embarrassed. We're home now and she still hasn't spoken to me. I'm fucked boys.
Tl;DR: Casted Thot Erasure on my girlfriend and now I'm afraid it may have worked.
Update: Girlfriend broke up with me. :(
You kids and your bewildering slang.

A new comic maker is dominating reddit. I dunno who this new guy is, but the old comic maker is Shen (Owlturd comic), who rose to internet stardom and kinda got burned out. He still makes comics, but they're not as popular as they once were. The joke is that the insatiable demand and constant criticism took a heavy toll on him, a burden the new guy faces as well.

If you haven't had Whataburger, that's okay then.
I haven't had Hardees, but I cant compare it at all to Wendys. You get full-sized burgers at Whataburger, and they are always incredibly juicy and have amazingly fresh buns. They have amazing sauces, and their grilled chicken melt with peppers and onion is delicious. Even their fried chicken burgers are delicious, especially when bathed in their honey mustard sauce.
It isn't basic enough to really be "fast-food" burgers, but they aren't gourmet either. They are just very-high tier fastfood.
*sigh*
I want Whataburger now.
Edit: Oh, and they are 24/7, so they are THE go-to drunk food here in Texas.
I love the Whataburger patty melt. Absolutely amazing.
Quote from: Shiranu on December 13, 2018, 10:55:33 PMI haven't had Hardees
Ooh, this I can explain!
Imagine a cook who not only doesn't give a shit about your health, but passionately wants you to die from a heart attack at age 34. So he takes a big ol' fatty of beef dripping with fat, slams a whole block of cheese on it, and lets that unholy concoction sizzle until the cheese is melty and runny. Then, almost as an afterthought, he picks up some stale white bread, clumsily crams that in the toaster until it gets partially burned. Then, with truckasaurus-like strength, he pinches the sandwich closed until that pinch makes a permanent divot in the overtoasted bread, then tosses it on a tray. Bone apple tea.
Order whatever burger you want, you're basically getting that with minor variations.
While I'm on the subject, I actually really like Steak 'n Shake. That might be a serious contender against those West coast burger offerings. Better than most burger joints around here, at any rate.
Five Guys is a burger like my dad used to make. But don't like their fries ... deep fried in peanut oil.

Fries must be double-fried
Preferably in oxen fat.
The fries will kill you faster than the burgers. But what a way to go!! Arctic Circle! Great fries. Fudrucker. Can't beat the memory of many trips to mom and dad's; 800 miles away--leave work on a Friday afternoon and drive all night. .39 Mc Donalds. Got 5 and munched all the way there.
Fast food burgers I like are Wendy's double and Smashburger.
There is a local place called Hops Burger Bar which has delicious specialty burgers.

Wendy's Double is good, once in awhile. The only thing I eat at McDonald's are the fish sandwiches.

I'll pick up at Lambert Field.
The best fast food burgers around here come from Jack's. That's not Jack in the Box... It's a localish chain. The best restaurant burgers around here come from The Thirsty Turtle. It's a local bar and the burgers are awesome. If you're ever in Memphis try a burger from Huey's. There seems to be several of them in the Memphis area now, but the only locations I've tried are downtown and Cordova.

How can it be great with pickle in it?
However, I can assess from looking at it how to make one. Toasted buns, tomato and lettuce, decent quality cheese slice. The mystery comes in the meat itself.

The whole name is Huey’s Blues, Brews & Burgers. Their whole mandate in a nutshell. They have live bands afternoon and evening, have been awarded the “Best Beer Selection,†and have been winning “Best Burger†from Memphis Magazine since 1984. Their burgers are not flattened or disturbed during grilling, so they retain their juices until the first bite.

Of course, the real problem in spotting something you own on eBay that's going for beaucoup bucks is having to decide whether to keep it or part with it. I bought a guitar at a garage sale almost 40 years ago for ten bucks; that particular make and model often appears on eBay for $400 on up. Could I use the money? Hell yeah. Could I then replace the guitar? Uh, no.

Looks more like a case of it being okay for women to laugh at male genitals while men aren't able to at women's.

BTW, per the initial long cartoon strip ... that is not why I do "likes". I am a junky of sorts, but it is not because I am a 7 year old emotionally, I am like Silence of the Lambs!
Munch - boys have the disadvantage of having an "outee" ... so size is easy to see. With women, you have to actually try it on for size.

Male genitals are more socially acceptable to talk about in general than female genitals, whether in a positive or negative light. It's just a case of double standards.

Doubly so, because what you say depends on if it is an all male or all female group talking about it. Women talk dirty too, just not when men are around. When men talk dirty, even with no women present, we are misogynists. Also, only men can be pedophiles. That is what I got from the cartoon.

Pros:
* We're already halfway there (medicine, some beverages, electronics, military, sciences, interstate 19)
* Super easy, stress-free conversion
* More logical freezing/boiling temps
* Easier conversations with Canadians/Europeans/etc
* Can now describe driving distances in terms of "clicks"
* {Hand} sizes seem bigger *wink wink*
Cons:
* Changing a shitton of signage
* Dum-dums freaking out and/or not learning no matter how hard you try to teach them
* Certain expressions rendered insensible, ruins that Proclaimers song

Reminds me of Dampe. Was he in Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask? I can't remember. But he was this old grave keeper you had to lead around to plots of land in a dark room. He followed the light from your fairy, and moved a painfully sluggish pace, and would get lost if you moved two feet away from him. You could Z-target him to keep the fairy around him, but then you couldn't see where you were going. They knew exactly what they were doing with that side quest. lol
Morrowind was the game that made me HATE escort quests with a passion.
It was especially brutal because whoever you're escorting could get one-shot, certain enemies were extremely aggressive, pathfinding was a nightmare for NPCs, and it was extremely easy to get lost so you could easily lead them into deathtraps.

The military life isn't for everyone. But for people who didn't get to the first rung of social improvement, but still have potential, it can be a first step, if not a career. Today, all these are Millennials, hence the worry by command that we are on a slippery slope. When the War on Terror started, they were X-gen.
Yes, a bunch of mostly young men in a barracks together, is called a gang. Not a Parisian salon nor afternoon tea.
Unlike the Vietnam War draft period, you are less likely to encounter Private Gomer Pyle. Though a few still slip thru. I have worked with them ;-) The military is the most functional socialism there is. They get nearly free health care. Relatively few are exposed to physical danger.
As opposed to the problems with welfare, military are expected to show up for work, on time, in uniform, groomed, fit, and do as they are told. People who can't do that, are unfit for society in any form, even drug gangs don't want you.

I served my regular Army hitch during the draft and Nam. Going to Nam was only a matter of time; but when I had finished my three year enlistment, I was still not there, I thanked my guardian angel and got out. If not for Nam, I'd have made the Army my career. But I was in Army Intelligence and could have gone into physical security as a Warrent Officer (a cross between a LT and NCO) and become expert in picking locks and keeping them from being picked. Warrents are enough of an odd-ball spot that most people left them alone. A W4 was regarded almost as the Sacred Uncle of whatever unit they were in and nobody fucked with them--they were regarded as a LTC for billiting, food and had the ability to go to both the Officers Club and NCO Club.
LBJ was evil on many levels. Not only was Vietnam the wrong war, but it was run with complete incompetence (substituting technology and fake body counts for leadership). I always oppose war, unless it is absolutely necessary. In our post Cold War period, going thru the fake War on Terror (perpetual war) and now going back to a Cold War 2.0 that may get hot ... you can imagine my disappointment. Both R & D are the uni-war party ;-((
But there would be people, in any age, even with a justifiable war, who are too anti-social to be allowed to roam free. Pacifist I am not, but neither am I a sociopath.

Honestly, that shouldn't be hard. All you need to do is reestablish the monarchy with your lineage as the royal bloodline, crush any and all rebellions against your new found power (which there will be many), maintain order within your populace while you tax them enough to hire the craftmen and architects required to design and construct such a pool, and then either establish this pool near geothermal sources or have the water fire-warmed by your staff.
Just gotta put your mind to it and will it into existence.
Quote from: Shiranu on March 17, 2019, 11:10:48 PMhave the water fire-warmed by your staff.
That language really needs cleaning up. It's "heated" (the fire part is implied).
Also, it's "unpaid bondspersons". Staff implies mere employment when it's really more of a vocation. Also, staff is confusingly a homonym with staves. Wouldn't want someone to think I'm a sorcery person who literally summons fire with a wooden stick.
And finally, it's not so much tax as "request wealth".

It is a statistical thing. And statistics is always wrong (Hillary victory at 98%). On average, a Jew has a higher IQ than a Gentile. Why is this? Not by internal reasons (genetics) but by external reasons (5000 year effort to exterminate all Jews, which has only succeeded in culling the dumb ones). The genetic part is a red herring. Same thing really with average European IQ vs average African IQ. The Europeans have put a lot of effort into killing each other. Africans have mostly only had to survive nature.
Of course, as I have said all along, humans are a failed monkey species. Not smart at all, in any way that really counts.
This started with a humorous attack on a smart orthodox Jew (Ben Shapiro). Most Jews are liberal and atheist. Being smart isn't enough anyway, it doesn't prevent you from being wrong. It helps you hide from yourself, that you might be wrong.

I wouldn't expect Trump to know his head from his ass. Today he said at a NATO meeting, for the third time, that his father, "Is German, was German. He was born in a beautiful part of Germany.".
His dad was born in New York. His grandfather was Bavarian who fled Bavaria to avoid being drafted and then had his citizenship revoked when he tried to return.
If he cant even get the place of his dad's birth right, how the fuck is he suppose to know where Puerto Ricans are from?
Secondly, Puerto Rico didn't receive $91bil. in aid like he claims... it suffered an estimated $91bil. in damages. PR also got less money than Houston and Florida, so the statement they got more than anyone else is blatantly wrong.
He literally didn't get a single thing right in his entire tweet, and he went on to word salad about the topic for two more posts after that.

Technically speaking, the reason toads look like that is because Super Mario 2 (for the West, since Japan's sequel was different) was not originally a Mario game. They essentially took a pre-existing game and slapped Mario on it. Toad took the place of the original character, who wore a turban.

Quote from: Blackleaf on April 08, 2019, 02:50:26 PM
Wait. Japan doesn't have a military? Like at all?
Japan has a military whose role is limited in the form of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces). It's enough for peacekeeping operations (mostly in a support role), but not enough for out-and-out war on the scale of WWII.
Over the years, there have been grumblings to expand its military capabilities (given the Cold War and slow-burning North Korea situation post Cold War, it's understandable) and rework its policy of self-defense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Japanese_military_legislation) to allow for more abstract forms of self-defense.
Japan has also mulled acquiring nuclear weapons (which seems odd, given its history) and while it technically doesn't have nuclear missiles right now, it could easily produce them should the need arise. Japan's like the pyrotechnics guy at a concert. Technically, everything he's doing is legal and perfectly fine. But if you piss him off, he could burn down half the city in a heartbeat.
It's not "very limited". Its role is limited.

Fire and blood
Primarily about keeping property in the family. If the daughter can inherit ... then she has to marry within the family.
Same reason the RCC didn't want it's priests to marry, so they'd die and leave the Church whatever property they had, since there'd be no one else to inherit it.

Property ownership wasn't clear back then. It became habitual for the families of priests to inherit (alienate) church property. The Church losing more and more control of their assets each year. Married priests would have complicated this even more.

It's only gay if you make eye contact while racking weights.
It's disgusting. It is the reason for a lot of sickness and even death. Also why beauty standards in our time is so unrealistic and fucked up. There is a real reason why Size Zero bans exist.
Our bellies tend to bloat a little naturally when we eat normal or sit down. Young girls start to starve themselves at a young age while they are still in development. It's also considered as the main reason why their IQ scores get 5-10 points down compared to their male peers. There was an American research done in high schools I read about years ago. It's terrifying. Probably the same in many countries.
I bulked up back in the day, 220 lbs while wearing size 28 jeans. It was an interesting experiment but when circumstances didn't support that* I didn't worry about it.

Except 0 (zero)
Quote from: Sal1981 on May 14, 2019, 05:07:28 PM
Except 0 (zero)
Several cultures invented zero:
"The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth."
The Indian invention was supposed to be inspired by Buddhist nirvana. Mayan invention was driven by the "long count" calendar. Indian records are poor, because of the material they were written on (palm leaf books) that didn't survive in a humid wet climate. Cambodia did get its culture from S India, and N India Buddhists would have influenced China and Persia (Islam). The Mayan invention seems to be truly independent. Since Mesopotamia used the sexagesimal count (1-60) I don't see why they would independently invent the zero, and they were in communication with India for the prior 2500 years.

Quetzalcoatl had a little Native American goatee. This confused Moctezuma when he saw Cortez. Are you Alexandra O-Cortez?
Quetzalcoatl was exiled when Tezcatlipoca got him drunk. Alcohol was taboo, even Aztecs knew that. It was medicine only. Guilty parties were executed. Quetzalcoatl got off easy (but he was a deity).
More confusion, if the Spaniards brought wine with them.

It is surprising, considering the device they use to automatically label what is classed as nsfw, I'd have thought the robot police on Tumblr would find her very alluring

I knew a set of twins in LA who had been having sex with each other for as long as they could remember. They considered it masturbation. They did admit that this had made them less interested than most in trying to find other sex partners. "We know each other perfectly."

I was in Dallas for a time, and the nightly temp often didn't get below 85 degrees F, with 115 degrees and very high humidity during the day. Hell might be hot, but if it's a dry heat, I'll take it over Texas any day!

That was one of the things that delayed reporting on the discoveries at Pompeii and Herculaneum -- the phallic oil lamps, frescoes of Priapus, statues of satyrs fucking goats and the like were tucked away in the Secret Museum of Naples (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Museum,_Naples), available only to "people of mature age and respected morals". It wasn't opened to the public once and for all until 2000.

My hope is that he meant going to the Moon is a part of going to Mars; for example, using it as a launch point for larger space craft, since the energy required to leave the gravitational pull of the surface would be significantly lower than it would be for an Earth launch.
However the fact that the first half of his post is talking about how we shouldn't be talking about the moon kinda makes me doubt that's what he meant.

I obviously understand why, but why they didn't just end the FOX X-Men at "Logan" is still kinda beyond me. Sure, you can squeeze a few more dollars out of it, but why not go out with your head held high on a triumphant movie instead of taking a shit on any legacy you might have been able to create?

We find something to agree on. Logan should have been an end to it. Maybe with that and deadpool. Dark phoenix is meant to be one of the x-mens best storylines, it was nicely adapted into the cartoon series in the 90s, and yet they've fully fucked over one of the best story archs in x-men twice now.
maybe disney can do better, but I don't hold out hope, unless they get a good director on board.

I can't remember who, but one of the big wigs who bring the MCU to life have expressed interest in keeping Deadpool as part of their universe. He said to merge the two, they'd have to tone down Deadpool for obvious reasons, but his standalone movies would theoretically keep the same tone as the last two movies. Although Deadpool 2 was kinda underwhelming, repeating too much of what Deadpool 1 did, I do hope we get a third. I particularly want to know if the part at the end was canon, with you-know-who being alive, or if that was just the writers having fun. Part of me suspects they'd make it canon, just to have it mean virtually nothing anyway as the character is written off the script, Ã la Thor and what's-her-face.

Part of me suspects they'd make it canon, just to have it mean virtually nothing anyway as the character is written off the script, Ã la Thor and what's-her-face.
It better be canon. In fact, the end credits scenes should be the only part of that movie that is canon.

Batman has got to be the worst father figure in history. How many of his kid sidekicks have been beaten, murdered, or seriously injured?

But yeah theres a lot of argument for his parenting skills. Its not just the costumes, its what his adopted kids or 'sidekicks' end up as, one hated him so much he went of by himself, another in one adaptation was captured by the joker and was driven mad by him as a weapon against batman, and his actual biological son.. well he was already screwed up but batman didn't help much turning him into a crime fighter.

I don't know what kids are watching on YouTube, but at least Cartoon Network and the Disney channel have some pretty good shows on. It seems like the networks realized that kids aren't stupid, and they can handle serious, even dark subjects when presented in the right way. Gravity Falls is one such show I recently watched. Man, that show is really good, even for adults. It's perhaps even more enjoyable for adults.

To be fair they have watched shows like gravity falls and star Vs the forces of evil, pretty good shows, also I enjoyed watching coraline with them, which dealt with some pretty dark themes.

The last season of Samurai Jack is definitely not for kids. lol. Teenagers, sure, but the swearing and gore elevated its rating from its previous seasons. I also enjoy My Hero Academia. I haven't heard of the others, though.

If you liked avatar the last airbender, you'll like The Dragon prince.
if you haven't seen avatar the last airbender, watch that first instead. The Dragon Prince can wait.
Also, over the garden wall is really great, but only like six or so episodes long. Worth it though.

That is DWIM. Do What I Mean. Was developed by a known hacker back in the day, who was a lazy typist. All the other programmers hated it, killed him, and hid the body. Earliest version of "Failed" AI. Other than Eliza, the shrink. She was pretty nice and still available online. Tay etc, her replacements, are teen psychos ... not nice at all. A programmer "engrams" (see Classic Star Trek) his (usually an ICEL) personality into his code. Attempts at AI mostly prove that autistic deviant programmers are not only gender dysphoric, but real monthly pains in the bottom.

Yeah, how did this idea of Satan being the ruler of Hell get started? First time he appears in the Bible (and I'm not counting the serpent in the Garden of Eden, which clearly wasn't meant to be him), he's in Heaven, making bets with God. He's sometimes called the Ruler of the Air, or the Lord of Flies, but never the ruler of Hell. Hell is described as having been originally designed to punish the fallen angels, such as Satan, I believe.

And yes, there were precedents in Egyptian and Mesopotamian theology, going farther back.
In the Bible, Satan is the wicked Vizier of God, the Attorney General who will put you in eternal prison. Jesus is the corrupt defense attorney, who has the power to get any of his followers the "get out of jail free card" even though they are as guilty as sin.

I limit myself to the Bible because that is what Christians claim to do, even though they frequently believe in things that are nowhere to be found in the Bible (ex: free will, age of accountability, etc). In the first appearance of Satan, in Job, Satan isn't portrayed as the enemy of God. He's the troublemaker, basically like Loki. God not only welcomes him in Heaven, but accepts his proposals. Of course, this has some implications for the kind of God Yahweh is, so Christians had to change Satan's character so he no longer made any sense. I mean, who would purposefully try to outwit an omniscient, omnipotent being? Why would you make an enemy of that person and think you could win?
You have a very parochial view ... went to Catholic school?
Even the Church ignores or goes way beyond the Bible. The Bible is more of a Protestant thing, and even they BS it. You know and I know that what the Church cares about is the Church, not the Bible or anything else.
Actually, Job isn't the first book in which Satan makes an appearance. His first mention is in 1 Chronicles 21:1, when he "provoked David to number Israel."
But then, I've read that Job is the Bible's oldest book, but the books aren't placed in order of writing, so in that sense Job is the first appearance of Satan.

A lot of parents have their babies circumcised. Not for religious reasons, just because. I believe it initially started with doctors claiming it would make boys masturbate less (pfft), because of course masturbation is evil. Years later, the tradition just stuck because people are slow to change.

Yep. Didn't amount to much in that movie, either. They just kinda showed up. The black Stormtroopers appear to be bodyguards for high ranking officials, and are supposedly a higher rank than the standard white Stormtrooper. The red Stormtroopers are probably pretty similar. No idea why they have "Sith" in the name, though. I thought Kylo Ren was a Dark Side Force user, not a Sith specifically. Maybe it'll be explained in the movie, maybe not. I find it hard to care about Disney's Star Wars these days, and that's coming from someone who enjoys the prequels.

Most people aren't serious and don't intend on entering. However, there has been an uptick in booked flights near there on September, which is a pretty strange coincidence.
Of course, I don't think these people stand any chance, especially after warning of their visit. Expect barricades and traffic stops, which will turn back or bottleneck traffic. And anybody hoofing it will probably meet an armed guard in person and either be sent packing or get arrested.
The logic of "they can't stop all of us" is horribly flawed. Hell, the miltary could park a humvee with an active denial system on it and absolutely no one would be able to walk by.

Somebody -other than federal prison- should tell these people that these facilities are not covered by constitutional rights -in any country- doesn't matter what is on the paper of what information act and yes they will shoot them as a last resort, but it wouldn't get there. Plastic bullets I am thinking as the worst out come and they will send them packing as you said.
Is it me or there is a paradigm shift concerning our good old concept of natural selection? I mean, why would anyone want to fuck with a military facility that has had a special kind of 'keep out' on its door for this long for something as stupid as this and with the US army no less. Myeh.

QuoteThe Air Force has issued a stern warning to the over half of million people planning to storm a top-secret US military base in the Nevada desert who are on a hunt to “see them aliens.â€
Over 600,000 people have signed up to an event called “Storm Area 51, they can’t stop all of us†which invites attendees to gather en masse before going into the air force base, which has long obsessed alien conspiracy theorists.
The satirical event, which is organised on Facebook and is scheduled to take place on 20 September, appears to be a joke given the high security and heavily guarded nature of the base.
The organisers said: “We can move faster than their bullets. Let’s see them aliens.â€
But Air Force spokesperson Laura McAndrews has released a warning to potential trespassers. ...
Ms McAndrews added: “The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assetsâ€.
But she failed to elaborate on specific details around how officials would react to potential intruders. ...
“We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry,†the event description reads. “If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.â€
The “Naruto run†is a reference to a Japanese manga-inspired running style featuring arms outstretched backwards and heads forward. It is inspired by the running style of Naruto Uzumaki â€" title character in the Japanese anime series Naruto.
Yeah, only Superman is faster than a speeding bullet! LOL

I worked at a military facility for the last 22 years. The public shouldn't approach ... the poor 19 year old isn't very mature, and armed. I don't think the US government loves the US people, any more than they love the people of Yemen. And Yemen is a massacre. In modern times, there is the 1%, and they are all together. The 99% are totally divided and no more than stinking peasants to them. Globally, not just nationally. But I prefer my villains to have British accents ...

I would defend the military for doing so. And I have never been a Republican. Going on a military reservation, without permission, is a bad idea. One evening, I made a wrong turn, my parents were my passengers. In San Diego. I ended up at the attack nuclear submarine base. The young Marine in full battle gear, protecting our nuclear weapons that night, was very nice, when I very politely asked him if it was OK, since I had made a wrong turn, to find some way to reverse direction (the road hadn't permitted an easy turn around before that point). I didn't fancy us being riddled with M16 bullets.

Well, that's what I have in mind, but I am always concerned about these kind of things. There are few points as I can see.
First thing is that I am sure you are also aware that the amount of people who genuinely believe everything around them is based on nutty conspiracy theories has exploded in the last decade. And this UFO thing is one of the oldest of our age. By its scope, it is one of the main conspiracy theories which people tie every other bullshit possible.
Social media is still new. Most people still don't get the power and consequences of an internet mass media. As generations grow into it, 'living out of reality' keeps gaining new heights. The reason for the rise in paranoia, rage, violence, conspiracy theory nuttiness...all that madness is a some sort of a reaction to the unlimited, uncontrolled material being thrown at people left and right. And people increasingly spend time indoors. They increasingly cut ties with people, have less organic relationships, less sex...etc.
Social media offers an anonymous place where people can find likely minded people without any extra effort, confrontation, risk about anything we can think of. So there is also a rise in the marginal trends. It's not even about what the conspiracy, the myths...etc. It's about being a part of a group that makes people feel like they are doing something extraordinary. Well, they do belong to a group of course but the rest is a delusion, a desire human species have had since its existence.
You all know about these. Long story short, it is inevitable that there will be times that -I don't know how to put it- this freaky bulk will explode here and there on ocassion.
By the Western constutional tradition, I meant that Western people are more likely to challange authority to have information of any kind. Going against what is porhibited openly. However, suely you know that that is changed, you would find a very different US, if you could travel 25 years ago back in time in your country. And a lot of people remember that US or talk about it. Most of the people are not happy with their country today.
In an atmosphere like this, perhaps the zeitgeist in general, most people -esp. young ones- do not channel their concern, anger, energy, time into real issues. First thing is, because they can't. So humans, being humans they channel everything to this kind of bullshit, for the very reason that it is not real; has no real connection with problems and issues that is thrown in their face every day. It's virtually 'safe'.
That is the new world for you. Of course there is nothing new about it. Just the delusional opportunity of feeling of being a part of something bigger and different than every thing they 'know' and 'see'; the feeling of uncovering something secret and being able to do it online, annonymously.
My concern is that at some point, it will be not enough for people. It's human nature. Also there is nothing more left to do.
That's why these events, groups have the possibility of creating real danger, esp. the UFO bullshit; other worlds, other species, 'real' alien tech related ones. Because everybody from these groups is living in some sort of a disutopia, real or imaginary. It's like a hope of high tech, 'salvation' free from the usual, traditional religious bullshit, if you will. It embraces everything and it is very powerful. Some sort of belief.
Anyway, that's my rambling about it. Let's hope nothing serious will happen.
About the army-civillian confrontation in the US. Yes you are right, it is bad. While it is similar in most countries, the term 'civillian' is a bit different in the US, at least the understanding of it. It's not just most people are armed in the US, Hydra. American culture is a highly militarised, weaponised -I don't know what to call it- culture in every sense. US federal government will never let go off an exact-total power on its people in any incident, because every gun argument is aside, they CAN'T afford it.
And they won't choose or judge most events on case by case or give a reaction according to it. They will exercise force and crack down as much as possible. There is a reason why this confrontations have escalated in the last era. More people, more guns compared to a few decades before. When there is more people and more guns in the future, Active Denial Systems won't be enough.
At some point US will need constant Marshall Law. Can you imagine a billion people living in the US and most of them armed? Well, it wouldn't take a billion to go there, but certainly it's bad enough now.

We need periodic confrontations between the public and the government, so people realize they are ruled, not led. This hasn't worked too well with conservatives in some cases. But more recently, the human sacrifice of one conservative over the Oregon national forest office occupation a few years ago, draws a line in the sand. Perhaps the human sacrifice of one liberal (antiFA) recently will satisfy the chthonic gods.

Quote from: Baruch on July 17, 2019, 01:52:11 AM
I would defend the military for doing so. And I have never been a Republican. Going on a military reservation, without permission, is a bad idea. One evening, I made a wrong turn, my parents were my passengers. In San Diego. I ended up at the attack nuclear submarine base. The young Marine in full battle gear, protecting our nuclear weapons that night, was very nice, when I very politely asked him if it was OK, since I had made a wrong turn, to find some way to reverse direction (the road hadn't permitted an easy turn around before that point). I didn't fancy us being riddled with M16 bullets.
It's a bad idea to poke a wild lion with a stick, but the military isn't a wild animal. While it may be stupid to try invading a military base, that doesn't remove the military's responsibility to respect human life. To use lethal weapons on unarmed citizens would be a crime, no matter the circumstances.

You have watched the movie, Hair, one too many times. Under standing orders, I would be afraid for your rights in the hand of an armed 19 year old. Trying to file a lawsuit after you are dead, is rather bad strategy.

That was fantasy, and with draftees. People in the military now, want to be there.
There is the UCMJ ... but there is the matter of interpretation in a military court, not at Night Court. Unarmed people get shot by the cops all the time and are not often charged. All the cop has to do is feel threatened, you don't have to actually threaten them.
Police are, or should be, trained to minimize the use of force. Military people are trained the exact opposite. While I was still working, I had to consider, if on duty, if we were attacked by a Left or Right mob, and it became necessary to pick up a gun from a downed coworker, could I shoot my fellow psychopaths ;-(
Of course I would be happy if all the Leftists did this, because while tragic, it would solve division in my country ;-) Also, remember that many ex-police are ex-military, with PTSD. And now we are handing them military weapons. So I don't fancy your chances with regular police either.
"At some point US will need constant Marshall Law. Can you imagine a billion people living in the US and most of them armed? Well, it wouldn't take a billion to go there, but certainly it's bad enough now." ... we have been under soft martial law since 9/11. We never reverted to a "peace" posture for some strange reason. How do I know this? The standard readiness level has been elevated for 18 years now. On 9/11 we were under lockdown, and escalated to nuclear release readiness, for that day only.
It's "marshal law", just sayin'. Or "martial law" depending on the country.

Also what to do at the meeting poiint. Touristic tips.
"...Event organizers have designed the unofficial Area 51 Visitor’s Center, approximately 1 hour and 22 minutes west of Vegas, as the meetup point. The Visitor’s Center was owned by Nevada brothel magnate Dennis Hof and includes a mini-mart, picnic areas, and the Alien Cathouse, and an ET-themed brothel, which is pretty much everything you need before anyone goes a-raiding. Satellite views of the Visitor’s Center show parking for 200 cars at most, so arrive early or consider catching a Lyft. ..."

I've been seeing this a lot lately. There was a monster strong enough that it could just mangle anyone in reach and it throws around the protagonists like rag dolls. That just stuns them for a few seconds before the heroic "attack me instead!" moment happens. The monster could easily could just snuff out the stunned person and that would barely slow it down (it'd be super easy, barely an inconvenience) but no, it completely changes its target. SMH.

I have things to say about Frostpunk -it really affected me- but haven't played Road Redemption.
But Wicther 3 is a part of the zeitgeist of the game world. Probably a bit of the real world too, if you come to think of it. Meaning...doesn't make me feel better.

Well, we could have direct election of a dictator. But only I get to vote ;-) By all means, think big!
How about abolishing the legislature, letting voters vote directly without representatives, thru the Internet?
Maybe the reason for the EC ... we don't want big states dominating little states ... the alternative would be to break up the big states into many small ones. There are approximately 3000 counties in the US. We could make each one of them a separate city-state. Or alternatively, we could use the metro areas for above ground nuclear testing (sarc).

Yes, A Holy American Empire would be a good thing. A German Holy Roman Empire was less aggressive. A Balkanized America would stop invading everyone. That is part of what the EC is based on, the Electors (senior princes) of the Holy Roman Empire. Anachronistic. But basically I have little in common with most of my fellow Americans. I see no reason to share law or taxes with them.

It's considered mean to their family (the implication being that people who loved him/her in life were wrong about his/her character), and also unfair since the dead cannot defend themselves.
That being said, I despise how people's complex and often tumultuous lives are whitewashed into something angelic and pure of heart and impossibly noble. Most people no doubt have their moments of virtue, but that's not the whole story. Imo, it reaffirms their humanity to share the grey stories as well, not just the lily white ones.

Yes. The computer processing has to remove the net motion of the solar system relative to the galactic core and the motion of the Earth about the Sun. Presumably the residual galactic motion relative to the CMB is smaller still. At least that is the pictures I have seen.
So does the CMB count as "absolute" space?

No. Only an approximation. Only the original singularity would be, and we can't "see" that in any practical way. Just 300 M years after it. But the differential motion in that first period, wouldn't be too big. The closer to the present, the more differential motion you have to cancel out … closer to present equals closer to Earth. So basically Earth rotation and orbit are the biggest part.

sounds like my fathers story. In life he was a pretty worthless man, his only credit would have been his own biological son, but he died at 12, so he wasn't even responsible for bringing me or my brother into the world. He did very little to be a good father to us, he worked a 9-5 job, which was probably his only other credit, but didn't do anything with us when home (something even I've done with my nephews after arriving home after a hards days work).
he drank himself to death, did nothing with the family, when we had friends or other family around he locked himself in his room and drank more and more. And he didn't even try to stay in touch with his brothers and sisters, I only met them once as a child, and that was only due to my mother convincing him for the family to visit them.
But upon his death, all his brothers and sisters showed up at his funeral (hadn't even seen him for 15 years before he died) and acted like he had all this virtue or was a great and supporting father and a great brother. It felt like the most hollow and shallow experience I've ever known. They didn't know the him, didn't know the reason why he died, that he was a neglectful father and husband, they just had an idealized image of him.
I'll probably never see his family again because like say, I'm not even related to them.

When Ripley saved Newt in 'Aliens' and fought hard to save her and eventually did, Newt called Ripley "Mommy". That was not a casual statement. Ripley fulfilled all the demands of parenthood. She risked her life to retrieve Newt from the Alien, fought hard to get them to safety, and beat it away.
I understand that a lot of Daddyhood and Mommyhood is biological, but sometimes it is who keeps you safe and cares for you.

So you will argue, there are no LEFT or RIGHT. And you would be right. There are just a great many rotten human beings.
OK I give up. You are "just plain nuts".

I deliberately choose to see things differently than MSM or politicians. I at least have half a chance of being right, if I do that.

Not mocking. But being Belgian, seems a very strange position to be in. Are Netherlanders similar, but they know their job is to do drugs and whores?
So ... Boris can't call for an early election, without 2/3 support. Is it the intent of Corbyn to allow an early election, or just 2 months of demonstrating that Parliament needs defenestrating (similar to last Spring)? Paralysis might be best ... as clock ticks down to 10/31.

LOL, Roman Empire and modern Italy? How? Geographically? There are 1500 years of invasions between them. I am sure Italians even 'proved' that they haven't changed -I haven't checked- but then they are Italians, lol. I have prejudice against Italian historical studies in any field. Esp. comes to their national and cultural heritage.
Il Duce wanted to restore the Imperial Roman empire. He acknowledged that it wasn't current.

Both were over-rated. Italy would have done better to not suck-up to Germany. Most of the Italian army was lost on the Russian Front. Rome was built by attacking weaker opponents one at a time (Carthage was the exception). Similarly Mussolini attacked Ethiopia. Grabbing a small bit of Vichy France wasn't worth it, given it clearly put Italy beyond the Axis passives and fully into the Axis actives. Hitler should have let Mussolini flounder in the Balkans. Then maybe Germany would have had the timing and manpower to take Leningrad and Moscow. Similarly Germany could get to the Baku oil field sooner, rather than waste effort trying to take Egypt.
A lot of generals and soveriegns came after the Roman Empire wanted to be known as the one who 'restored' the glory of the Roman Empire to their own land. Well at least with the reputation of something similar. History is full of paid court writers' histories, myths of how their city is the 'New Rome' or the 2nd, 3rd or fourth...fifth Rome. Between us, even the Ottoman sultan who conquered Constantinopolis wanted to make it a second Rome and the to continue the Empire. (Which it was kind of the real, tiny second Rome before he took it, anyway. But of course with a completely different culture.)
They also had tons of New, second, 3rd... Jerusalems and Athens and Troys...As you would guess they also had a lots of 'New' Hannibals, Alexanders, Constantins, Charlemagnes... comes with the package. They even named, depicted any famous politicans or generals in trees as triumvirates.
The most famous, extreme of them is the Louis the 14th who declared himself a god. The French! Oh the French.
This nonsense has gone for sometime, but of course people started to react react to it and that's where 'the secret history' tradition starts. The Secret history of what is going on some king's court, Jesuits, Vatican...everything. Some educated clever men, started to write secret histories of soverigns, popes, cardinals, events, wars, civil wars, explaining to people how actually all the things that happenning around have nothing to do with what is told but only about personal ambitious of these men and women. And the good intended ones were right of course, but some were killed or thrown in prison. So what did they do? They started to write anonymous or by replacing real people in old myths and ancient histories of past events. Making a history of the present via the past. Well, they made up tons of stuff to. How do you sort out the liars? Ancient history can also be used to criticise as used for praise, not that they had a concept of criticism as we have it, but they eventually came closer as a result of this chaos.
At one point it got out of hand. Private lives of monarchs, popes and cardinals, what is going on in courts became a beloved title. (Romance novels were born.) Because they realised, you can do whatever you want with a made of 'secret history' of something. They used it to spread anything they want. Propaganda. From reasons of Thirty Years' Wars to what Marie Antoinette said a lot of things get made up. BAM! French Revolutions.
(The secret history writing of today, comes from this tradition. Even the papparazzi and wiki leaks. The secret history of football, the secret history of rock music, the secret history of cia or the secret histyory of my ass.)
Well, it comes to a point that every kind of history is under suspicion. There is a mass paranoia. It's a mess. The rational questions in early stages like 'how would we look at the Gallic Wars if we had Vercingetorix's journal instead of Caesar's?' turn into 'how can be even sure that two men called Caesar and Pompey lived, let alone know that they battled?!'
Well, there are some men who are clever and a lot of men think they are clever and a very few men who are really smart. Uncle Descartes and his followers from the last group tries to explain with systematic scepticism why this this particular kind of history is bullshit and thankfully undermined the hümanist narrative of western history in the process. Bayle. A few men made sense. Voltaire is late to the show as usual. I don't like him anyway.
For around 200 years, history is seen nothing but as a string of erotic romance novels, plots, intrigues, propaganda... The French pioneered mess saved by the French, history is lost in the crisis. But we got something very important. For the first time in history, through this mess, people have learned to look at things; the publics figures, events in a different way, from a distance. And something remotely resembles to criticism is born.
Then a German man named Ranke comes and screams 'stooop' his both hands up in 19th century and talk about how source based history is the way to go. He is also known as the patron saint of archive eaters, faaaader of the modern history. Myeh. If the history is thought to be made of diplomatics, politics and wars and winners of those. Of course he changed everything, and gave history its honour back, but leaves a lot to desire.
There is also another German man with a huge influence who shall not be named, just to annoy Baruch. :)
Then the French can't help but stir the pot, thank fuck. Annales School is born. Lucien Febvre, most importantly March Bloch...etc. A group of smart men oddly talking about a history beyond politics and diplomatics, invasion and wars; a history including sociology, economcial development, culture in a long term and came up with a strange idea that if we want to know what happened in the past may be we should stop reading it from 'top to bottom' and start to go from 'bottom to top'. Again, just to annoy, Baruch and the like.
The French and the German! Finally in the 20th century, coming a long way from bedroom gossips of kings and popes, whose is bigger, they invent something called critical theory again just to annoy Baruch and the likeminded. And what's worse this loose group had a few Frenchmen -Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Fronçoise Lyotard... - who this time undermined the narrative of contemporary history, pissed off everyone thank fuck and caused another crisis in the field, pretty much like the previous one also very different, which we live in it today.
So over rated or not, talking-writing about the Roman Empire... is a messy, looong business with serious consequences.

The old Norse language was like that (at least the Faroese version). Sixty is called three times twenty (trÃssindstjúgu), and fifty is called half of five times twenty (hálvsindstjúgu). The odd numbers 50, 70 and 90 are called that, half-5 times 20, half-7 times 20 and half-9 times 20. While the even numbers 60 and 80 are 3 times 20 and 4 times 20. Don't ask my why the numbers from 50 to 90 are called that, since, 20 and 40 are just called twenty (tjúgu) and forty (fjóriti), and 30 is just called thirty (trÃati).
We have the same -teen suffix for 13 to 19 and same unique names for 1 to 12. Tret
tan, fjúr
tan, fimtan, sekstan, sjeytan, átjtan, nÃggjtan.
Unlike English, we say the leading number from twenty
before twenty, so instead of saying twenty-one, for instance, we say one-twenty (ein-og-tjúggu) for some reason.

You are talking narrative for one corner of Europe. And controlling that narrative is very important, as any Nazi or Commie could tell you. Germans make the best philosophers, because ... Nietzsche was clinically insane. The exception who proves the rule.
I will give Charles Martel and Emperor Charlemagne some credit, they knew how to deal with Muslim immigrants. But King Charles VI of France, thought he was made of glass. He wasn't wrong, the French often have a glass jaw.

Ottomans: Western Civilization? Just kill it! History is written by the winners. The Ottomans were successful for long while. Putting a philosophical spin on history (See Spengler) is just making bad propaganda.
That's the thing you don't get. Nobody can't put a philosophical spin on history. For someone who supposedly hates partizanship history you are drowning in it.
Ottomans have never been successful. Invading around is not success. Haven't you learned yet what happens to empires? You are watching the one you live in going down. Trump will win the second term.

Mostly rhetoric on my part. I don't control the fate of mankind, yet ;-) Are you a self hating Ottoman? History is like the game Risk. They were successful 1200-1900, with a couple reverses. Not a bad record. So eventually empires fall? Aww ... so do republics and anarchies. When Ottomans believed in themselves, they were Alpha-males ... I could at least respect them.

Why don't you like 'kill all your brothers' thing? It's about not letting the Empire get divided and fall into chaos...and perish? Alfa?
Why do you keep typing 'kill that and kill this'?
Yes. Jefferson Davis did nothing wrong - because I am American. The Sublime Port did nothing wrong - because you are whatever. Women hate men. Alpha males need to conquer them the old fashioned way. BTW - I am not an alpha male.

Oh ffs, alfa male, alfa male...yap yap...what alfa male in 21st century?! Alfa male is an extremely dangerous, sexually violent, physically superior, biggest male of its species. It kills other males, females, offspring...anything to dominate. Highly territorial. Thank fuck, there are very few of them.
For a moment let's imagine a world like in your fantasy. If majority of men tried and succeed acting like alfa males now, in the original sense of the word, we wouldn't have a society and social life as we know it, everything would collapse. There wouldn't be women and children on streets. They would kill other males and each other and the rest would get systematically killed by armed forces because of the general threats they pose.
So there are no old fashioned way of 'conquering' anything. We arrived to this point because, it doesn't work.
What people keep calling 'alfa male' today is actually a fantasy of a man who can fuck tons of women without any responsibility. It's what we call a player, a dog in the modern world. He is NOT an 'alfa male'. He doesn't need to be an 'alfa male' to do that in modern society. Not to mention there are women who live their lives in the same style in the modern society, so odds are even better for them.
There is only one possible type of 'alfa male' who has a chance in modern society and he is the most intelligent, talented male. He doesn't need to be big or physically powerful, sexually agressive either. Why would he need to 'conquer' women in old fashioned way? Women will choose him anyway. Actually, he will be the first choice today. But that is not the 'alfa male' anyway.
Women don't hate men, they feel whatever men feel for them. It's the gender roles in society that shapes the different expressions of both. If you have to deal with a bigger and more powerful animal than yourself, you use other means to deal with it according to the time and circumstances available. That's what women have always done.
It is harridans like you, since Pharaoh Hatshepsut ... who have destroyed civilization. Without a few alpha males (Pharaoh Thutmose III who followed Pharaoh Hatshepsut) and alpha females (who are trophy wives for alpha males), we would be cattle, not just voters. The betas are the herbivores.
Feminist females are even more delusional than feminist males (gender traitors). On the other hand, I don't care if humanity survives. It looks like it would be better if we don't. In which case your fancy policies are moot.
There are three kinds of women today:
1. Hates all men
2. Hates all women
3. Hates both
This is why, for decades now, discriminating men seek mates outside of the US/UK etc ... say Russian women.

Strength - could lift anything, but could also break anything easily and hurt people you try to interact with.
Poison breath - get against enemies, but your sex and social lift is over with.
talk to plants - might be able to control them, but most likely you'd never be able to silence them, always in your head driving you insane.
courage - might overcome fear easily, might also walk out into a road of on coming cars without a care.
always relax - no more stress, but not able to work effectively either, making you a poor bum on the streets.
become a dragon - all the perks, and become the target of military intervention, blown up by a missile.
instant death - just stronger version of poison breath, you end up accidentally killing innocent people because you think their guilty at first, till proven wrong.
flight - your an open target to firearms and drones.

True dragons can speak, so it wouldn't be that difficult to communicate that you mean no harm. Plus, you'd likely be protected as an endangered species. In the event some trophy hunter decides to attempt to kill you anyway, your hide would be really hard. It's basically natural armor. Other benefits include a ridiculously long lifespan (in D&D, they live for several thousands of years), and you never feel the effects of age, even in your final year of life. You will feel the urge to hoard gold (or other treasures, depending on your color), but since you'd basically be a celebrity, it'd be pretty easy to earn it.

Four language skills: hearing, speaking, writing, reading. We get a native language thru constant reinforcement our whole lives. And in earlier times only the first two skills. Julius Caesar was considered a genius by his contemporaries, because he could read Latin without voicing it out (read silently). Useful if you want to avoid assassins!
The old debate is ... learn by grammar, learn by vocabulary, learn by conversation. Berlitz was big on the last one, and some still advocate it, there is a school for this, in Latin (mostly for Latin teacher summer vacation) in Italy. Can't find it again in YouTube because Google algorithm is a joke. One language learning expert says use all three methods.
So in studying Chinese, my reading ability is pretty good, because that is the only channel I have for learning. Though I vocalize my sentences. Having fun with Tibetan now.

I admire your language skills. To me, other spoken languages are just immensely long sounds without gaps between words. As I understand it, our brains have language and music (and possibly math) in one place. And that place is not working for me. Other parts seem to work well. Writing is natural in detail. Logic comes easily (and to some it does not). We each have talents..

Correct. Learning language takes a leap of imagination and humanity. Now I need to convince myself that "I am Tibetan in my heart". Something us autistic are not known for. My ex boss in my last job, noted what was unusual about me, is that many are good with either half of their brains, but few are good with both. Birth defect? Individual compensation for autism?
I find singing help with spoken language. That and the ability to mimic. English speakers have too few consonants. Listening to vocal music in the target language is critical.
Writing, until punctuation was invented, was just a very long string of symbols without gaps ;-) How did Julius Caesar read that silently?
Also one's physical and emotional health limit one. Both are hard for me. But my metamorphosis is coming soon, I won't remain a caterpillar much longer (think caterpillar in Alice In Wonderland). My life as a butterfly (see Zhuang Tzu) will be short of course. But it is what I have been working toward since the dawn of time.

Sad. Like the little boy the Pharaoh experimented on, to try to determine the oldest language, by isolating a new born, until it spoke its first word. Result ... Phrygian. They thought the first word spoken was "bread" in that language.

The government might consider a friendly dragon to be an asset to be used, but a dragon would also receive a ton of public attention. If that dragon were to suddenly go missing, people would notice. It would probably be in a government's best interests to remain on good terms with that dragon, if they want to make use of its abilities (and avoid being the target of them). That, and wait for it to die so they could study its remains, although that would likely be a very long wait.

FFS, it was in the book, that a young gay guy was killed off.
They also made the relationship between the characters Richie and Eddie was more then just best friends but now richie was secretly gay for Eddie, but Eddie was meant to die in the book.
Also the character Mike, while I've not read though the novel, in the TV movie Mike is stabbed by Henry bowers and left in hospital unable to join the losers club against pennywise, while in this adaptation he isn't stabbed, and joins them.
Sjws bitching when they stick to the source material. Sjws bitching when they change the source material. Sjws not even acknowledging a progressive change when it happens.
Also these people making horror monsters like pennywise or the babadook into gay icons, wtfs wrong with these people? The movie the babadook didn't even have gay characters in it, and the monster was just the manifestation of the main characters grief from the death of her husband, so what does any of that have to do with queer representation?
What's next, will they make Freddy Krueger, a child murderer and possible rapist, into a gay icon?
(https://i.redd.it/r192haw0c9m31.jpg)
Thing that makes me laugh most about this, when in 2017, the people who tried to push pennywise as a gay icon, where they completely unaware of the books story back then? The book that's been out for decades?
It's like black lives matter finding out how marvels punisher was black for a time in the 80s, and then act outraged to find out he turned white again.

I'm very proud of that unknown child for spotting a karen.
Anyone who doesn't know karen is the common name associated with entitled parents, often stories told on reddit by people encountering these people.

in the same way a meat dish in gravy became a slur to call homosexuals, people used it and just ran with it.
I had a woman called karen in my old job, she was a bitch, she was only a supervisor but she acted like she was a manager to anyone below her and let that power treat anyone below her like lower forms of trash.
My aunt works with a woman called karen who acts like she's better then anyone else in her office despite knowing very little about the routine of the office.
People have just shared these experiences with horrible women who happen to be named karen and its become its own thing.

Salsa con queso is mexican for salsa with queso.
(In seriousness, I've heard melting Velvetta with a can of Rotel works miracles. I personally swear by Herdez salsa, though I've never had their queso and rarely have queso in general)
Maybe try a fondue recipe but add jalapeño? Remember, those other guys think that picante sauce comes from NYC, and Europeans get their Ragu spaghetti sauce from Holland.

The headline doesn't even prepare you mentally for what to expect. The whole opinion piece is one giant trainwreck.
Checked out Zoe Williams. Don't see anything Right with her. She is anti-Orban (Hungary) so is Left. So is the joke that the image mischaracterizes her? Or that she really thinks exercise is Right? Confusion resolved in my next post here.
I dunno who Zoe williams is, I think she is the writer of what is quoted, her names is written in different colour and italic in the shot. But everything is wrong about a person who brags about their fitness routine, what/how they eat-drink and how they look and whatthey feel about it, esp. how good they feel and look/feel young even they are oh this old. Even more about the ones who writes only about all that and call themselves journalists.

If found the original column she wrote, that included that sentiment. The quote isn't modified, just out of context. Basically not only is she against virtue signaling by exercise fanatics, but also in her one experience, doesn't get much out of exercise herself. I took it as pretty much a nothing-burger, but the quote out of context makes it seem ridiculous. Not everyone is a egomaniac (though I think most journalists are) and not everyone is into exercise. I guess for her, anyone who is egotistical is not True Left.

I may be dead wrong, some of the structure isn't quite right (should be 5 instead of 4 duns), but it does look a lot like he was going for either the first verse or even some of the chorus.

Also, this supposedly omnipotent god allowed the ancient church to burn to the ground. People did the same shit after 9/11. "Look! These two beams in the rubble look kinda sorta like a cross!" Too bad God was too busy working on that stupid cross to actually...I dunno, stop tons of people from dying a terrible death?

A group of church goers survive a mass shooter before he can riddle them with bullets = "god's love was protecting us!
A baby dies because his parents believed prayer was better then visiting a doctor = "God works in mysterious ways"
A religious coach prays to God before a game and they win = "God was shining on us and favoured us!"
A church is blown up by a bomb killing everyone inside = "God works in mysterious ways"

Gotham just strokes me as a depressing place to live, it's perpetually dark there, even in the daytime. In the animated series in the 90s there were a couple of examples of batman operating in the daytime, like when he's investigating poison ivy claiming to have retired from crime and now living in the suburbs of gotham away from the city, and it really made him stand out awkwardly trying to hide in a tree in broad daylight.
The setting of gothem has always been in batman favour due to its darker location, high buildings and gothic architecture creating a darker underbelly just perfect for his design.
This is what made a sequel series to batman the animated series, called batman beyond, an interesting premise. Set like 40 years in the future from the original, a new younger batman taking up the mantle, set in a more futuristic version of gotham with new architecture, it see we to be able to mix day and night times better, looking more like metropolis times from the superman series, kinda like a setting like Tokyo. This is why batman beyond used new technology like a suit that could make him invisible and glide with rockets in the boots more viable.

I like to think of it that, Kevin knew he could phone the police, which would have sorted this out quick, however it would have also alerted social services about a child being left alone for christmas while his family flew to another country.
This would result in him being adopted and having to give up living in that massive house, because when it cames to it the rest of his family are a-holes, but his cousins, aunts and uncles are just visiting, the only problem he has to deal with his his older brother, who when you live in a massive house you can just ignore most of the time.
Notice he did everything to convince people who wasn't home alone? He knew he'd be taken away from the house and that sweet inheritance.

whole quarter inch of snow!!!!11!1!1!
He gave his car a half-assed brushing and drove to work as normal, and it didn't even dawn on him until he was there that the roads were unnaturally clear. Everyone else came in an hour and a half late talking about "the blizzard", and the whole state was more or less closed. For 0.25" of snow.

He gave his car a half-assed brushing and drove to work as normal, and it didn't even dawn on him until he was there that the roads were unnaturally clear. Everyone else came in an hour and a half late talking about "the blizzard", and the whole state was more or less closed. For 0.25" of snow.
I could hear his eyeroll all they way up here in Ohio.
Texans are fucking wusses.
And how did he fare in the super humid, 110° Summer heat?

Isn't that what the spice was - worm shit?
Their babies hatch out in patches of Spice. Spice is concentrated and spread by living worms. Spice is produced by dying worms. They eat sand plankton which are attracted by Spice masses. Baby worms hatch preferentially in these Spice masses, because the sand plankton is concentrated there. Like the people, exposure to the Spice, causes its concentration in the bodies of the worms.
Technically, on Earth, soil isn't worm shit. The Earth worms help develop soil in a complicated way ... partly based on sand, clay, water and humus provided by the decay of living things, including worms. If you want to fertilize your own house plants by shitting on them, have at it.
The soil is the matrix that holds the nutrients the plants needs. So you can shit on the soil, mix it properly, and fertilize your plants. "Night soil" was one of the earliest fertilizers.

Males are depressed because we can't go out and hunt wild game, as guys (no girls allowed). That is what 200,000 years of evolution designed us for. Ever since agriculture started, we have been maladapted on multiple levels. Except with the advent of cow's milk, and those lucky enough to be lactose tolerant. In short, you need a cave man diet, and cave man activities. Either that or become a herbivore (soy boy).

Maybe don't "grab their udder" ala Donald Trump ;-) Got to see a calf born at a nearby dairy farm. Got to hand milk one, for a short while, one time in 1965. Later I have watched on TV, large animal vets working with them. Looked pretty dangerous to me!
I once watched a veterinarian with his arm completely inside a cow, up to his shoulder, trying to turn the calf so it could be born properly. I decided I never wanted to do that for a living.

Military got rid of the last audio phones about 10 years ago. Only used as backups in case digital phone went down. For the war room etc. Now, "in case of war" you don't break glass if you get a blue screen, you call the IT guys for a reboot. For me, probably 1970s at my parent's house.

One of my cousins proposed a system for voicemail: The speaker would leave a message, the message would be transcribed (like Dragon Dictate, he said) and sent to the other phone where the process would be reversed. I applauded and suggested he get to work on it right away. Hopefully that would keep him out of trouble and in a perfect world it would prevent him from reproducing as well.

I will never understand why they stayed in business as long as they did - especially in the age of digital downloads.

I remember preordering Pokémon Emerald Version at a GameStop. They asked me if I wanted to pay for it now or when I picked it up. They highly encouraged the former. I did so. When I picked up my game, they told me they overcharged me and offered in-store credits to reimburse me. My mom, who was there with me both times, said she recognized that evil marketing trick, but she chose to wait until after I'd already been swindled and was on the way home to speak up for some reason.

We were allowed to bring our long guns to school only if we were in shop making new stocks for them. That ended about 1980 when some kid decided to use his to hold the principle hostage. My brother who was a detective at the time snuck in and was able to disarm the kid and nobody got hurt. He got a nice little medal for that. A few years later he got fired because he called the owner of the hardware store at 3 am to tell him he was sitting inside the store eating a ice cream bar. Wanted to show the guy how easy it was to get in and why his immense stock of guns were at risk.
Didn’t get fired for showing the guy how to protect his store, got fired for eating the ice cream bar.

Actually, NYC and Denver have been served notice by ICE, that their mayors will be charged in Federal court, if they don't give up illegal aliens held in their own jails, as required by law. If the Federal court agrees, and they defy the Federal court, then the mayors will go to jail. I would be happy to see both of those cities, maybe all cities in the US, undergo Reconstruction with Federal troops. The Dems make this necessary at least once every 100 years ;-)

Uh, no, it doesn't.
MW Definition: "a major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority."
That is the textbook definition, and it clearly defines what America is. The United States is made up of *gasp* States that either belong to unique regions with their own distinct linguistic, cultural, social and historical traits that are vastly different from other regions within the States, or in some instances like Texas, Hawai'i, California, New Mexico, Utah and several others were and are their own cultural entities that were either sold, won through war or had their governments overthrown to become part of the Union. All of these unique peoples and regions answer to one federal government above them.
That is about as textbook empire as you can get, expecially if you consider an emperor or empress is not a necessity (even if historically a given) to be one. And I am leaving out territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, etc.
That didn't require any tweaking of the textbook definition of an empire, and that is using the most concrete definition of what an empire even is. If you go into the less literal translations of empire we become even more apparently one.
LOL
Empires are essentially a conglomeration of different nations/peoples under a single authority (as opposed to a nation-state or city-state or confederation, etc).
A key feature of empires is that they are heterogeneous - there are many nations (i.e. tribes) under the same government. This is quite literally the case in the US mainland.
And when you factor in the US's various island holdings, especially Hawaii and Puerto Rico (neither of which volunteered for the honor of joining the US, to put it mildly), there's definitely a case to be made for calling this an empire.
Wikipedia has an interesting little blurb on the subject:
QuoteCharacterizing some aspects of American foreign policy and international behavior as "American Empire" is controversial but not uncommon. This characterization is controversial because of the strong tendency in American society to reject claims of American imperialism. The initial motivations for the inception of the United States eventually led to the development of this tendency, which has been perpetuated by the country-wide obsession with this national narrative. The United States was formed because colonists did not like being under control of the British Empire. Essentially, the United States was formed in an attempt to reject imperialism. This makes it very hard for people to acknowledge America's status as an empire. This active rejection of imperialist status is not limited to high-ranking government officials, as it has been ingrained in American society throughout its entire history. As David Ludden explains, "journalists, scholars, teachers, students, analysts, and politicians prefer to depict the U.S. as a nation pursuing its own interests and ideals". This often results in imperialist endeavors being presented as measures taken to enhance national security. Ludden explains this phenomenon with the concept of "ideological blinders", which he says prevent American citizens from realizing the true nature of America's current systems and strategies. These "ideological blinders" that people wear have resulted in an "invisible" American empire of which most American citizens are unaware.
Any of that sound familiar?

No, we wind up with recognizing what modern states generally are and thus having a clearer understanding of the world we live in. All water is wet, that doesn't somehow make the glass sitting on my table "less" water than it was before stating that.
A concrete example of this is our treatment of Puerto Rico, who has had it's economy decimated by American politics and companies as well as is dependent on the federal government (to whom they do pay federal taxes) for aid in situations like Hurricane Maria and the recent earthquake and yet is not given any actual voice within the federal government.
Another example would be the white-washing of Hawai'ian history to erase any memory that they were a sovereign nation who were forcibly overthrown by U.S. Marines and American businessmen to become a state. By accepting the train of thought that the United States is a nation, rather than an empire, it gives a false impression that all the states joined of their own free-will and willingly at that, when that is not true for a large handful of states.
Trust me, if I wanted to find reasons to hate the US, calling it an empire would probably be #403928 on reasons I could think of to do so.
You brought up Canada, and they honestly are another great example of how modern states are often imperial in nature. Look at their (along with essentially all other modern states in the Americas) treatment of the Native American populations; it is literally textbook subjugation and cultural destruction as you would see practiced by empires of the past, if not always taken to the extreme.
If anything you are only making me more confident in that statement, because you aren't actually refuting anything I say and the more I research it... the more right it appears I am. So... thanks, I think.
Don't thank me, you have a hissy fit when you're wrong.

Awfully big leap from acknowledging that the political structure resembles an empire to "hating" the US.
Evidently, the wiki blurb hit the nail on the head - the term empire has a lot of negative connotations and therefore people might be reluctant to acknowledge that term for emotional rather than rational reasons.
I thank you for at least laying your cards on the table, albeit after a fashion.
The US as "The Evil Empire" get tedious after a while, say 30 seconds.

Oh, you can go back even earlier. His 1971 version of
THX 1138 still stands out in my mind, even though I haven't seen the 1971 version in over 40 years -- I refuse to see the "digitally enhanced" version.
It wasn't power that corrupted Lucas, it was money and protecting a franchise. Time was when he genuinely was a gifted film maker. The original 1977 Star Wars, he had no idea what kind of a phenomenon he was creating, so he could just throw himself completely into it. The only thing he was counting on was his study of Joseph Campbell and the way Western society is known to react to the kinds of tropes he was working with.
Empire Strikes Back he still had more or less a free hand even though he wasn't directing anymore, because he didn't yet know if the series could support sequels.
But by the time
Return of the Jedi was made, it was a financial empire to be protected at all costs, rather than an artistic expression -- or even just a good old fashioned roller-coaster ride of an adventure movie. And that's when it stopped being fun.

Okay boomer.
See? Still silly.
Okay, I guess I have to outright tell you.
The phrase is being used in an ironic sense - first by a comparitively older guy to ingratiate himself with a younger crowd (the joke is that he's clueless and socially awkward) and the second time in a genuinely sinister manner (the absurdity of it as a parting shot is what makes it funny here)
But no more explaining from here on out, okay boomer?

They're used to jump electricity from one house to another. Not hard to make, just cut off the outlet end and put a plug on the cord at that end. They're usually not up to the load and can start fires.

If I was him, I'd wear a fake beard, of something, to keep from being recognized in public. But maybe he likes the attention?

yeeeeee.... my mums for that kind of belief/attitude 'we survived the blitz so its all good'. Its really not the same thing, with the blitz you could see the enemy coming from afar and get to shelter, homes might have been destroyed but at least once the enemy passed by you were safe to come out again.
This is doing everything you can to avoid contact from the invisible killer that could get to anyone, and kill the most vulnerable. In the blitz you could be a raving lunatic in the streets, but you might avoid the bombs, today if your a raving lunatic in the streets, your do all that, then head home and kill your grandparents for it.
I'm diabetic, and my mothers in her late 70s, so I've doing everything to keep both of us away from this, same goes for my brother and his family.

They had cops. The crocs were found to be in excellent health, so there was no abuse charges. Misdemeanor keeping wildlife without a permit. Times seven IIRC. What saved them any major charges was that they were feeding things that the salties would normally eat, live. Those critters were ready for the mean streets.

It's a funny-sad that people actually believe this. Shit, even my mom who is socially conservative believes that in ancient England you would have found a sizable African community and was very offended that I argued that the Anglo-Saxons and native Britons would have been exclusively white.
Everyone is African. But we are not equally pale skinned. Some of us Africans lived near the Arctic circle longer than others, but we were dark and blue eyed at first 40K years ago. The dark brown eyed Africans stayed in Africa (just as many people never migrated from Europe to America). It may or may not have been a good thing, that the immigrants mated with the Neanderthals already living in Eurasia. Just as it may or may not have been a good thing for Native Americans to mate with Pale Faces.
You are dealing with the 21st century version of Nation of Islam propaganda. You need to write a screen play ... "Dances With Wokeness".
And yes, there was a Black samurai in early modern Japan. Just one. And no Japanese married him, as far as can be determined. There was an English samurai at about that time (Will Adams), and a Japanese did marry him.
There were plenty of Saracens and Moors in Spain and Sicily. But my tiny Iberian chromosome content doesn't show any. Must have been all Reconquista Spaniards and Sephardic Jews.

I know Moorish traders made it up to England and likely Africans from further south as well, but like you said they would have been a rarity. And I would assume once you left Londinium and any other large settlements, they would have been essentially non-existent. And once the Romans left, I doubt many Africans would willingly have made the journey up there.
(During Roman times, I doubt many were willingly up there as well but were rather slaves brought along)
Correct. Looking at my link, it seems a lot of "black" europeans were in fact North Africans, not sub-saharan Africans.

There is a tombstone in England, to a "good wife". She was British, but her husband was a Syrian who spoke Aramaic. Scythians were brought to Roman Britain, to man the cavalry detachments guarding Hadrian's Wall. But they would be similar to Turks or Russians. The Romans often trans-located slaves far from home to limit revolts. Gauls in Morocco for example. The Roman Imperial Army was mixed, and geographically spread people even more than merchant activity. But slave trade must have been important in spreading genes also.

https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_E1b1b_Y-DNA.shtml
The spread of N Africans is least in Celtic and Basque survival areas. They had a stronger reason to resist outsiders.
Not that there is anything wrong with having partial N African ancestry. Iberian Caliphate, Carthage, Egypt.

Early testing was lengthy, expensive and unavailable. So only select doctors in select hospitals got access. The "exposure" test is still being worked on. In either case, it is a "work in progress". We were told here, early on, to not come to the hospital or doctors office for tests, unless we have symptoms. You determine symptoms by calling the hot-line and describing your condition to a trained nurse. She tells you to get tested or not. And in our town, the testing station is right outside the hospital (not inside), not in doctor's offices. Since the damn thing keeps mutating, this makes a reliable "exposure" test or "full" test hard to keep up. Same with any treatment or vaccine they come up with.

That argument would go on right down to the last samurai.
Japan first removed the swords from the peasants (swords became common because of the civil wars). But the advent of the gun destabilized this again. The guns were banned, by the first Tokugawa shogun around 1600, which was good for the surrounding countries, because Japanese manufacture was better than the original Portuguese/Dutch. That shogun also suppressed the "waka" or Japanese pirates, via the lockdown of all Japanese to the Islands of Japan. This was a great relief to China and Korea. This continued until the arrival of the Americans, who by that time had better cannon and guns than the Japanese.
But the Japanese had more cannon fodder - for awhile.

Yes, laminate armor won't stop bullets. Guns were part of the armament at the last great Japanese battle, at Sekigahara, in 1600 (170,000 total combatants).

Back then, my mother did try the many shades of platinum hair colors ;-) I suspect those ladies must be using frames and hairpieces and a whole can of hair spray.

Not exactly, and I don't think it's necessary one or the other, either. Sometimes women may dress to impress a guy. But sometimes, it's more of a status thing. Just like how men like to compete with each other, women like to compete, but sometimes in different ways. And sometimes, women dress neither to impress a guy or other women. Sometimes they just dress in a way that makes them feel good.

If drunkenshoe would wear traditional clothes from her society then there is no issue ;-) My women tell me, since they are feminists of one generation or another, that they don't care what men think about anything. Traditional European folk dress, for a courting fandango in Spain for example, is so 19th century.

Do you realise that you are saying exactly what I'm saying? That, it is just like you have missed the last season?
The idea that 'women get dressed for other women' is a Freudian idea. That idea drives from the fact -besides the obvious- that we choose our mates according to 'status', MEN OR WOMEN which women have perfected with evolution and works pretty much different but exactly the same in many different ways.
What is chosen to 'feel good' is to be chosen; be safe and considered and wanted in an environment where there are no suitors to choose because evolution dictates that the female herd would only friend the women that will be chosen.
So 'women only dress for women' is just a common bullshit produced in the 20th century for marketing products. You have just heard or watched it too much, it's become a reality for you. For all of us.
Men only dress for men so for the women and women who dress only for women actually dress for men.
Nobody 'ONLY ' dresses.

The nervous system is more than the brain. In fact, your three layer brain is cerebral, mammalian and reptilian. Cognitive, emotive and physiological. You only need the physiological part, which in the human, is the cerebellum and spinal column. Of course lots of simple life manage without any nervous system at all. I doubt however, the rat without a brain, could manage the maze test, or make ratatouille ;-) What is really going on ... y'all are comparing Trump supporters to brainless rats. Don't look in the mirror, snowflakes!

There was a case of a hydro-cephalic human, without the typical skull enlargement, that didn't even know they had a problem until they had a unrelated brain scan. Looking ear to ear from above, through the middle, there was just a huge mass of cerebral-spinal fluid, with all the nerves crowded on the circumference ;-) Without scanning everyone, we don't know how many atypical hydro-cephalics there are!! But i bet most of them are voters ;-))

There was one yesterday that really turned my stomach. Paraphrased:
"They say that it's too soon to go back to business as usual. But if by business as usual (https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/If-by-whiskey), you mean looking out for our customer-family, then we never stopped business as usual." And then it ends with an exhortation to come down to a car dealership and buy buy buy.
That's how effective these commercials are, I have no idea about the company or what exactly they're offering, but I know they only really care about one thing and have no shame about psychologically manipulating you into giving it to them.

I can't stand when people act differently in church or around other Christians than they do anywhere else.

The problem is, and this is a point often missed by those who get pissed off by those saying all lives matter, is that people are not ignoring the struggle racial groups have, it's just that those saying all lives matter say so because people in movements like black lives matter end up pushing toxic ideals that white lives don't matter or fuck whitey, going by what I've said before how toxicity ruins the original message of the movement.
That's what causes people to retort with all lives matter.
I remember a few years back a gay pride was hijacked by the black lives matter movement because they wanted to be at the forefront of everything, even at the expense of other groups and it being their day. Black culture has it's own festivals but it wasnt enough for some. Do you really think it's fair having a day celebrating gay people or being highjacked by another group? Suppose it was hijacked by a Christian pride March instead.
So no, people aren't ignoring the struggles of black Americans or British or Europeans, when they say all lives matter. They simple want to tell the ones going to far with it to back the fuck up and listen.
Okay, now I've said my piece, I'll give you some choice words to throw back. 'Evil. Conservative. Racist. White washing. Uncle Tom. Fascist'. There you go.

People retort with "all lives matter" to dismiss the concerns of black people, not out of any concern for anyone else. It's a conversation stopper. Imagine sitting at the table on Thanksgiving, and everyone is given a full plate, but you're given nothing but a roll and some gravy. You say, "I would like some mashed potatoes, please." Then someone replies, "We all want mashed potatoes, Munch. Don't be selfish." That response not only misses the point, but it dismisses the issue entirely.

Let's imagine another scenario. Your sat at a table having dinner with s group of friends of all different races, black, brown, Asian, white, all sorts, and one of your black friends starts discussing how he feels the economic lows of black people where he lives is dire and feels people need to come together to help those communities, and everyone at the table agrees and offers up support all the same. Then your brown friend says a similar story, about the problems he's had with racist issues where he lives, and your group starts to offer him support, when all of a sudden your black friend steps in and says the support should go to him because black lives matter. You end up saying to him all lives matter, and your black friend calls you a racist now.

If Blacks do it, it is reparations. Nobody else is poor or oppressed. This is part of a anti-semitic meme. That only Jews have been murdered in the millions just for being Jewish. Other groups see Jews having a pretty nice living standard today compared to 1950. They hate hard working successful people.

That's the deal with toxic people, they subvert the cause they identify with. Right-wingers have the white supremacists/nazis et. al. while leftists have the SJWs/"Communists" et. al.. Both in common are authoritarians wanting to control 'the other' what to think & say.
But in my mind, the right-wingers are disproportionately worse now, with their fascist tendencies, in surpressing free expression and language.
What really pisses me off is one side using the outliers to spin a narrative about being oppressed or whatever, when it's everything but. Tim Pool, Styxenhammer, Andy Ngo, Sargon of Akkad and others do this constantly. While lefties like Contrapoints and Philosophytube do not, instead use well-researched and argumentation for their cases. The right-wingers, although they don't call themselves that, which is part of their gas-lighting technique, pull
selected articles from authoritarian rags and spin their little narrative about how lefties are insane or whatever.

On the assumption of how reasonable and rational creationists are? There are countless creationists, religious people who deny not just evolution, tons of other scientific facts used in technology but enjoy their fruits in daily life to the fullest.
For example, they define quantum physics, LHC experiements as playing god/challenging god and condemn it as blasphemy, but they've been using all the products that comes out of nanotehcnology. MRs, smartphones...all kinds of high tech gadgets.
It's never been a threat to them. Their agenda is about identity, politics. There is a difference between rhetorics, propaganda and real life. And they know this pretty well. We just keep underestimating them.

Oppenheimer and Gen. Groves collected samples of it, the day after the Trinity test went off. They stood at Ground Zero for a photo op.

Part of my lost rock collection, destroyed in my home move of 2005. Trinitite is hard to find now. My first sample came from an old geiger counter accessory box (with radioactive samples). My nuclear physics professor and I used a scintillation counter on my sample, generated a spectrum, hoping to find traces of plutonium (the Trinity test was of plutonium). Didn't find any in the spectrum, just radioactive sodium and strontium I think ... typical fallout poison.

By the way, I think that woman is confused between the cup as the standard tea cup and the 'cup' on the measuring cups you guys have in the States. One is around 150 ml or less, the other is around 300 ml. So one is 'little' and the other is 'much'. I don't think she paid attention to the ratio at all. She just used a rule of thumb according to her taste and wrote what she thought was much less using a smaller cup. It's not like that recipe is a new invetion that you can't guess the result, lol. People don't cook with math, they cook with their own rule of thumb according to their taste. That's for the cook shows and those weird yuck vidoes in pinterest.

Religious rules supplemented royal edicts in the old days. If you don't want the peasants to eat their "tractors" then you declare them holy, like in India.
Hindu rules on cows (because of Hinduism) are related to those by Persians (because of Zoroastrianism). The two peoples are anciently related. Per Zoroaster, it is because of compassion for the suffering of animals, that one shouldn't eat cows. But it did have practical utility. The domestication of cows, thousands of years ago, for babies who are not lactose intolerant, has saved countless children past their 5th birthday.
Not all Hindus are vegetarian, and they used to make an exception for ancient kings, with their horse sacrifice under the direction of the brahmins. Jains take the no-harm principle to its maximum, otherwise there would be no chicken curry.
On the cartoon ... is that you Rev. Jonathan Edwards? He had a famous hell-fire sermon comparing humanity to a spider held over a flame.

People would believe you concerning germs. People weren't the biggest skeptics back then. They thought everything was explained by a god. Speak with enough confidence, and they'll accept it, even if they take some time to adjust to it. As for republicanism and secularism, it may depend on the region and time period you present that to them in.

They'd think disease was either caused by an imbalance of humors or "bad air" (miasma). I doubt I could sufficiently disprove either, nor find any microscopic animals without a microscope. No amount of self-confidence would convince people to disbelieve what they already believe and have no reason to think is suspect.

Ooh, I could introduce hamburgers! (though using a knife to manually ground the beef would be a pain) And french fries! Though with eggplants instead of potatoes, since potatoes are unavailable. Maybe I could call them spanish fries as a joke. And chicken wings, though without chilies that's pretty much exercise in futility. Curried? Probably too expensive. I suppose honey mustard will have to do.

Define immediately. People have been preserving meats since pre-history days. Dehydrated fish will keep for a season if kept dry, and that goes back probably tens possibly hundreds of thousands of years. Commercial trade in salted/smoked meats goes back at least to the Romans.

Lots of places had plenty of food year round ... because I saw it on TV. I remember in my own lifetime that fruits and vegetables were seasonal.
If you want to live like 1000 or 2000 year ago, feel free ;-) You are welcome to give up your modern conveniences. Salted/smoked meats were for the masters, not the slaves. Vikings had salted/smoked fish, again not for the thralls. Depended on where you lived. Nevada Indians collected pine nuts. You didn't have meat out in the country, unless you hunted (banned in the Middle Ages) or slaughtered a rare farm animal (mostly used for wool and milk). Cattle were used for plowing.
My own ancestors as recently as 100 years ago, had a dirt floor, a tiny stove, too many kids, and if hail flattened the wheat you had to eat your seed for next year. They were using mules to plow as recently as 1930. My mother's parents had a goat for slaughter one time ... but you couldn't do that every day, unless you had the livestock of the emperor.
There was a lot of tuna taken from the Sea of Azov in Greek times. Might have gotten that as far as Greece (wet catch kept live). What were the Romans trading long distance in? Garum. Goo made from rotten fish, especially in Spain. Think anchovy paste. Indirect ancestor of ketchup. One of the scandals of Nero was, he had slaves bring him snow from the Alps, so he could have cold drinks.
Why are those guards at the Tower of London called "Beefeaters"? Tudor people were lucky to have a chicken once in awhile. Some Native Americans made jerky or pemmican. Why were women in particular, shorter at adulthood until 120 years ago? Because they were malnourished. The men ate first, the women and children got the scraps. Not many Americans could stand to live like the Amish, let alone like a un-improved Native American (ignore Rousseau).
Why were Vikings well fed? They had fish, and they went "viking" ...

Yes Baruch, historically most food is seasonal, and dried grains can be stored over the winter. That doesn't change the fact that people have been preserving meat for a long time. Possibly before we were farming. The earliest hard evidence for drying fish is from 12,000 years ago, but people living in hot coastal climates were probably doing it a long time before that.
We know the Sumerians were preserving meats through salting and smoking thousands of years ago. The Romans traded heavily in salted meats. The army ran on bread and salted pork. Much of the later was imported from Gaul. They also dried fruits, preserved them in honey and wine, and pickled things.
There was also a middle class even in the early middle age Europe. Tradesmen and merchants. Not everyone lived on the edge of starvation all the time. While the diet of most was primarily bread, They also consumed some meats, and there was more pork than chicken.
Talking past each other? The past, even in my grandmother's childhood, was not running down to the Safeway and picking up some food, coming home, and putting some of it in the refrigerator. The availability of refrigeration in the home, was revolutionary. Of course, initially, in big cities, this was an icebox. The fact that prehistoric man maybe knew how to make jerky, doesn't change the reality of daily probability of starvation.

Are you sure you wanted to use "probability"? I mean, the cavemen probably didn't face starvation when they had a dead mammoth for carving up. In winter that would keep them for a month at least if they could keep the scavengers away.

Possibly. Yes refrigeration undoubtedly revolutionized food storage. But you said prior to the 20th century and refrigeration the only foodstuffs we could store long term was grain. I'm just trying to point out that isn't true. We have been preserving meat for a long time. We were doing that to mitigate the daily possibility of starvation.
During the age of exploration the primary diet aboard the ships that were often at sea for months at a time wasn't bread. It was salted meat.

The evidence we have for mass kills of large mammals by relatively small groups of humans is pretty good but by no means conclusive evidence the humans had a method of preserving some of the meat so it would last even longer than that.

I saw a film in HS anthropology, of a Pygmy tribe hunting and eating an elephant. They moved quickly. Unlike Vikings, they didn't have a convenient glacier to keep the meat cold. It is an F*ing jungle out there! Mass kills of buffalo by early Native Americans happened, but you know by time machine that they were able to convert all that to jerkey and pemmican? The hides were useful of course, after the women had chewed the fat (literally).
Originally Homo Erectus it is figured, learned to eat meat, by competing with the scavengers, because they were starving. Fortunately they had seen "Lion King" and knew to let the lions and hyenas have first dibs .. vultures not so much. This was very hard, since they were originally vegetarians, and eating meat was inefficient (given their teeth types) and gave indigestion. Until fire came into use, to cook meat, it was an inefficient food source. Homo Erectus who could manage to eat carrion outlived those who could not ... just as lactose intolerant people were outcompeted by the cow people once cows got milked. Up until modern times, game meat was allowed to spoil for a couple days, to tenderize and "improve the flavor". But not for weeks or months.
Regular food preservation started with Napoleon (army rations in champaign bottles) and with Wellington (army rations in tin cans). MREs that could be sterilized by boiling. Of course that included meat, but originally only for armies on campaign. Took several decades before civilians got canned food (by Civil War).

How soon, did most people on this planet, stop living like the early 19th century (no ice box)? Oh, there are still people living like that ;-) If eating was easy, there would not be starving people in Africa. And yes, sailors got salted meat, and scurvy (arrrh). But not if you weren't a sailor at sea. Sailors in port ate whatever was cooked up in the local brothel.

Quote-----------------From an anonymous UPS delivery driver:
There are 5 types of customers during The 'Rona:
1) Steve:
He has been waiting for this moment his whole life. He has been drinking boilermakers since 10 a.m. in his recliner and his AR is within arm's reach. He has 6 months' provisions in the basement and a bugout bag due west, buried in the woods. Steve demands a handshake as I give him his package. He’s sizing me up as I deliver his ammo.
Steve will survive this, and he will kill you if he needs to.
2) Brad:
He is standing at his window wearing skinny jeans and a Patagonia t-shirt. He is mad because there were no organic tomatoes at Whole Foods today. He points at the ground where he has taped a 6-ft no-go zone line from his porch. I leave his case of Fuji water, organic granola bites, and his new “Bernie Bro†hat at the tape.
Brad will not survive.
Steve will probably eat him.
3) Nancy:
She has sprayed everything with thieves oil. Bought all the Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, meat, and bread from the local grocery chain. She has quarantined her kids and sprays them with a mixture of thieves, lavender, & mint essential oils daily. She has posted every link known to man about The 'Rona on her social media. She will spray you if you break the 6-ft rule. I will leave her yet another case of toilet paper.
She will last longer than Brad, but not as long as Steve.
4) Karen:
She has called everybody and read them the latest news on The 'Rona. She asked for the manager at Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, McDonalds, Chik-Fil-A, and Vons, all before noon, demanding more toilet paper. Karen’s kids are currently faking The 'Rona to avoid her. I’m delivering “Hello Kitchen†to her.
Karen will not survive much longer than Brad.
5) Mary:
Is sitting in the swing watching her kids have a water balloon fight in the front yard as she is on her fourth glass of wine. She went to the store and bought 2 cases of pop tarts, 6 boxes of cereal, 8 bags of pizza rolls, and a 6-pack of toilet paper. There is a playlist of Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Post Malone playing in the background. I’m bringing her second shipment of 15 bottles of wine in 3 days.
Mary will survive, and marry Steve.
Together they will repopulate the earth.
May God have mercy on us all

I didn't see "gleefully".
It was in The Force Awakens. Technically, he was cheering Poe blowing away trooper after trooper. "Whooo! Yeah! That's one hell of a pilot!"
Finn was in a kill-or-be-killed situation, so it makes sense that he'd pull the trigger. What doesn't make sense is that there wasn't the slightest hint of internal conflict about it or any further humanization of the stormtroopers besides Finn. Not even a scene where he's trying to reason with stormtrooper prisoners. That would've taken like a minute of screentime, two tops.
Compare that to Teal'c, who takes every opportunity to parlay (sometimes successfully, sometimes not), definitely struggles with going up against his own, treats with prisoners, helps deprogram people, spends whole seasons recruiting/training/supporting defectors, and has a hell of final showdown as a co-commander on the defectors' flagship. And lemme tell you, the payoff from that was huge.
That's what happens when you have good writing and solid character development. Otherwise, you just get a guy who defects and then kinda tags along with the good guys and basically gets forgotten. Not an arc, just a character line.
That was appreciation for a skillful pilot that saved his ass.

Full display, but not as dramatic a display location as at the entrance of the Denver Museum of Natural History. Most display dinosaurs have molded fake bones, because the real ones are too heavy to mount up. The museum at the La Brea Tar Pits (LA) is best. Lots of multiple Pleistocene animals on display, real bones. Saber-tooths and Mastodons.

We do. But I've heard our mayo is different from american. Ours is more acidic in taste.
Also, 'speciaal saus' or 'special sauce' is half a portion of mayo and half a portion of ketchup or curry-ketchup, not-mixed but seperate, sprinkled with raw onion bits. It is pretty damn great with fries.

The addition of lime juice would definitely make it more acidic and tastier while less fattening than its American counterpart.

Most Americans don't eat real mayonnaise at all, it is just like American cheese ;-) White stuff called Salad Dressing.
https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/miracle-whip-vs-mayo/
"Unlike salad dressings that separate, the egg makes mayonnaise emulsified, giving it a thick, solid and spreadable consistency. There are some rules, though: According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), anything labeled as “mayonnaise†must contain 65% vegetable oil by weight."

Math and/or timekeeping is hard.
That's^ a problem about reception -linguistic, visual as the clock, money- not math or time keeping. She is asking the question with the number 4. Quarter and 4 together confuses her because she feels like it defines a quarter of something that is already a quarter of a whole itself,lol. A lot of people who suck at the most simple basic arithmetic wouldn't think like her with the correct reception.
This is about reading, imo. She is not a reader. That's -I think- why she lacks that reception. By that I mean reading books with a vocabulary more than 50 000 on average. An overwhelming amount of people in the known world only read self help books and material with the vocabulary equal to twilight novels. They grew up/live in social media. And social media is like the chapbook phase of the hypermodern period. 95 % is garbage. It's going to be studied in fascination, very differently a 50 years later.
(Do you guys know chapbooks? Little booklets sold by pellars in Europe with very little text and illustrations -which usually don't match- that go back to 16th century. English versions are pretty later I guess. It's the probably the first medium of the 'reading material' that went down to the ordinary people after the Western invention of the printing press. We live in a similar phase of something different. Dark ages.)
It's fascinating to me, esp. these days, as I have to deal with the reception theory and what has that become recently. What she asks is ridiculously funny because you don't get to have a personal opinion on math. But trust me, we all do the same thing with different basic concepts all around. Who knows what I have been doing, considering my job? I'm translating concepts to readers which they haven't heard of. Masses and generations have been/ are doing the same thing collectively -in the same culture as well as foreign ones crossing/clashing- with an idea or set of ideas =movements that shaped the human history.
One of the reasons why the focus on researches in social disciplines kept shifting to individualism, the attempts to reading the history from below in nearly the last 100 year? is this. Because the receiver is not passive. He has never been passive...aayh I got carried away. LOL, good morning.

Math and/or timekeeping is hard.
Honestly, when I was a child I found the phrase "quarter of four" confusing. Was is a quarter of the four o'clock hour (4:15) or a quarter until the four o'clock hour (3:45)? I learned that "of" meant "until."
Originally, clocks didn't have minute hands. Being within a quarter of an hour was close enough for church prayers.
Chapbooks were used in colonial New England. Useful for lighting fires to burn witches ;-)

This is so much more than a funny video. It has more 'truth' in it than any culturally moded bullshit about significant periods that shaped today.
When I was in the academy, students would aproach to me in the atrium and they would always end up asking questions they couldn't bring up with stuck up profs during lectures. They were very silly but very logical questions. I've always tried to explain how awfully important art and its history while 90 % of it is fucking bullshit. The year Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code was published a hell got loose for us -I think for all the art historians and cultural historians, esp. anthropologically minded ones like me- everywhere around the world. Almost everyone I know, not kidding, asked me the question "Is that true?" ?! LOL And about Leo's Last Supper.
Whatever I told them didn't work -at the beginning I was trying- that last supper is just a biblical scene and there are thousands of representation of that scene, the reason this one is very famous is because of the Leonardo myth. That we know shit about the man called Leonardo as fact or other names spelled as synonyms with Renaissance, which is a movement and not a period but as dark as the Middle Ages and again which we actually know far less about Renaissance than we do about the Middle Ages or Ancient Greek and Rome.
That Leonardo shouldn't be named as an artist first, not just because there is no understanding of art or artistry in his time, but also highly likley this was just a field of curiosity and experiment to mix stuff and apply for him, yet again exactly because there was no understanding of art (esp. as a field) as we understand because he wanted to solve the nature, he just had to do certain things when ordered and beyond that he highly likely fucking hated it.
But of course the snake made the lady eat an apple as always, and people think
the Last Supper is a fact sheet of Christianity and Mona Lisa is the most famous painting of all time because it is a masterpiece.
In short, I'll go full anachronistic on its ass and seriously claim that Leonardo da Vinci would have loved that video and try to picture the waiter from behind in front of the table. Because that's the only trait of that mural, cut from front for the recipient and he highly likely chose to do it that way in position of the room. There is nothing remarkable or significant about it. It's the myth of Leonardo that was gradually started after his death. And Mona Lisa is Mona Lisa because a curator put it in display in 19th century just because Leonardo did it.
Those are not art works, they were his test tubes. He didn't give a fuck about art. That man was an engineer to the bone. He just wanted to solve how the nature worked and reverse engineer it in every sense. If you had called him artist to his face, and if he had gotten the meaning you use as we do today, he would have punched you to the next day.

That is called the Critical Theory, which you regularly try to shit on manosphere style and fail miserably, every fucking time. Would you like to supersize your historical perspective, just for 25 cents?

Critical Theory ... Euro-Communism is god ... because real Communism has never been tried, so let the post-1991 Italian/French communist parties run Europe ... because y'all know that Russians did communism wrong because they are just barbarians anyway? I would take Russia any day over France/Germany ... because Stalin knew what he was about.
Yeah, that^ is what I meant in my previous post. Anything that is informal as in challenging norms and traditions; off the curriculum; informing people about anything close to reality rather than wha is dictated has to deal with critical theory, like it or not. Because it has to deal with the concept of power in every sense. All the social disciplines are inherently historical and linguistic, they don't care if some live organism hates history of German and French ideas. You are irrational.

We have known about slavery here in the US even before 1861. We don't need Critical Theory. We have known about Jim Crow here in the US since 1875. We don't need Critical Theory. Europeans think Americans can't take a shit without their sophisticated assistance ;-))
There is a real psychology that isn't Lysenkoism. There is a real sociology that isn't Lysenkoism. There is a problem with anthropology being polluted by non-Western values (aka non-objective, identity political). If anthropology must be anti-colonial, then you need to jettison everything about the Turkish culture, and go back to the Byzantines at least. Going back to Byzantine politics might not be an improvement over Erdogan.

I have loved Japan since 10 years old ;-)) That is 54 years ago. First time our class studied Japan, and I studied Japanese language. But we didn't see real anime back then, just watched Astro Boy (repeats of 1963 TV series) ...

Classic anime happened after I grew up, and I watched Naruto with my daughter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kar%C3%A1nsebes
Lack of intelligence of enemy location etc ... and friendly fire ... make for a bad day. This is also paralleled in an incident in the Book of Judges ... the judge Gideon leading the Israelite army attacks the Midianite army at night. Darwin moment ensues.
LOOL. Turkish link gives numbers at the other side -which is understandable according to the story- but says both sides tell the story differently, and that Austria gives a negative record on their own. There is no ref, but I think the reason for that is that there are rather weird and silly (I don't want to say funny) things about this war.
I think this is the war that is refered to as which 'Austrians lost to Austrians' rather than a one Ottomans won. According to the story, Austrian forces make a camp near to the town Karansebes (today in Romania). During the patrols they don't find any Turks in the area, and the cavalry buy drinks from gypsies, to get drunk and have fun. The infantry wants in on the fun and there is a fight and chaos.
Now, the Austrian army -like every army before the modern state- is not a 'national army' because it is a very new concept and armies are -like every other groups in Europe- full of many various soldiers from different ethnic backgrounds -romen, italian, german, austrian...etc speaking different vernaculars. So when you think about communication before modern education -even in a primitive form- think about huge amount of miscommunication all around in every kind of level.
This is all happening at night. The officers try to calm the situation and yell HALT HALT HALT which causes a panic -probably fire their guns for attention while riding around- which was misunderstood as the Ottoman arrival by the drunk forces brawling between themselves and most of the Habsburg army kill each other in the dark. Two days later, Ottoman forces arrive, pick whatever is left and take the town.
I have no idea how much of that is true but it seems this is a weird one, so probably something unusual happened that night, apparently with no Ottomans in the scenery yet. Who knows what happened. Maybe they've had something going before all that? It's the Habsburg Dynasty after all.
This is why the German Empire had to escalate in 1914, to keep older brother Austrian-Hungarian Empire out of trouble. Too many damn languages ;-) This is also why Germany got blamed for the war, not Austria-Hungary. Without German competence, the war would have died down much sooner. The Czar was also guilty ... to declare war on Austria-Hungary to save Serbia (which was guilty of supporting the assassins) The Russian Empire was another shambolic mess. But not Germany, not France, not Britain. When Italy entered the war on the opposite side they had pledged too, they were equally shambolic. The Ottoman Empire defended itself admirably. Turks are good on defense, not so good on offense by that time.

A worry worth having ;-) Contentment is over-rated.
Per picture. I was once on a busy highway, closely following a pickup truck pulling a flat bed trailer, which had a king sized mattress on it, not tied down at all. We were moving along in traffic about 45 mph, and the mattress flew off onto the pavement just in front of me. I somehow quantum tunneled past it without hitting it, with little room to swerve. Proof my quantum wave function was favorable that day ;-) Praise Heisenberg!
I was following a guy who had several sections of wooden picket fence on the roof of his car. We pulled out of the lumber yard and he got up to speed about the time I realized he hadn't tied the load down. Flying picket saucers spread out across a four lane highway. Fun to watch.

Eh, the first two match up well, but it kinda trails off from there. And the villains are nothing alike.
Ronan (the movie-version) is a power-grabbing zealot interested almost entirely in destruction. An animal lashing out.
Scorpius is a well-intentioned extremist who sold his soul to the darkest pit of hell for the welfare of his chosen people. In another series, he could even be a hero. Or at least an antihero.
Both series have a lot of striking similarities, though. Chances are if you like one, you'll like the other.

College enrollment is down this year....0.7%. When I started it was $33.00 a credit hour at junior college. With Govt help, some small merit scholarships and various part time jobs, I graduated with a positive bank account. I got flown around to interviews. There was an elderly mentor ready to pass on decades of knowledge. A real life Yoda to me. Sure I worked very hard, but now I realize how lucky I was. My career in front of an oscilloscope, scrutinizing a few nanoseconds of hold-time on a 16-bit data bus. Seeing my circuit boards spring to life. I hope young ones can bridge over all this pervasive cynical hopelessness.

If you were a former Muslim or former Hindu or former Buddhist .. then your atheism would be "Eastern atheism". Not saying you were. A former Christian or former Jew (religious) who becomes atheist would be "Western atheism". The former culture milieux colors it.

Women at Auschwitz, and in other poor situations, bleach their hair with their own urine. All clothes whitener in Roman culture was by human urine. Not the kind of slave work people were fighting to get! Emperor Vespasian saw a good thing, and was the first to tax it saying "Pecunia non olet" aka money doesn't smell.

Atheism as irreligion or there are no gods at all? Not the same meaning. Socrates was accused of atheism ... because he introduced new gods not official in Athens (only the Archons can decide that). Diagoras of Melos was convicted in absentia of atheism, in his case making fun of the gods. Numerous philosophers from the first, were accused and often convicted of atheism, in the sense of irreligion. Anaxagoras was accused of atheism because he said the sun was a big hot rock in the sky, not the sun god Helios. Theodorus of Cyrene was the first Western person to literally deny the existence (as opposed the the irrelevance) of the gods. Epicurus was the first to systematically say that the gods were far away and irrelevant ... proto-deism. Euhemerus was the first theorist of human deification of past heroes, and this was used by the Hellenists who deified Alexander, and later by the Romans who deified various Roman heroes. Would Christianity even have happened without Euhemerus?
Eastern culture has had various forms of atheism while polytheist like the Greeks and Romans. The Jains and Buddhists were accused of atheism by the Hindus, because they denied the authority of the Vedas and the brahmins. The literal materialists, the Charvaka, were a small group compared to the latter two. Sikhs were accused of atheism because they combined Islam with Hinduism. Eventually some sects of Buddhists and Hindus developed non-personalist forms ... but they are still religions, even if they worship impersonal forces like karma. Sufis have regularly been accused of atheism in the sense of irreligion by fellow Muslims. I don't think that monotheism in Judaism would have happened (and it didn't happen until after the Babylonian Exile) except as a distant echo of the heretic Pharaoh, Akenaten.
So no, atheism has multiple meanings by multiple cultures across multiple centuries. Most people here mean a very specific kind, and most are ex-Christians, not non-personalist Buddhists etc. The idea that humans at first were pure atheists, and were deceived over time into the supernatural and into religions, is Marxist history. Of old, humans didn't separate the natural from the supernatural (Heraclitus and Thales were the first). Pyathagors wouldn't count ;-) ... since he believed in reincarnation. Xenophanes was the first Western monotheist, so atheist in the sense of irreligious compared to most people. The cultural path that India and China took to develop their own forms of (minority) atheism were independent of the West (though the Buddhists and Hindus developed statues/icons because of the Macedonians in India. Westerners were not aware of Eastern beliefs nor took them seriously until the 18th century.
Oh I didn't mean the etymology of the word. It's incorrect and wrong to use the concept before the modern period because contrary to the common belief, atheism as we understand, is a modern concept.
It's is a famous historical problem, there is a discussion and book on it by Lucien Febvre about a 16th century French humanist, Françoise Rabelais who were thought a covert atheist in that period by some historians through his writing. Febvre is one of the founders of Annales School along with Bloch, I'm sure you have heard their names.
In short, Febvre says that Rabelais -or anyone else for that matter- can't be an atheist in 16th century France because the vocabulary and therefore the mentality to support that understanding, that world vision hasn't existed yet. If memory serves right he says, defining Rabelais as an atheist is like handing Diogenes an umbrella. Note that what he means is beyond the fact that the people did make things to shade themselves in Diogenes' time. (And no, it is not semantics, Baruch.)
It's actually very important how did scholars see/read men like Rabelais and his contemporaries, in early 20th century and certainly now, even devoutly religious ones because it's about the building blocks of roots of modernism, individualism; reading societies from the bottom...what has given birth to hypermodern civil liberties, identity politics...every concept we wrestle today is based on the evolution of those interpretations and re-interpretations. And we are going through a natural phase, a crisis if you will, on that department.
In short, throwing the word atheism around as we understand it, esp. in a narrow sense beyond our own backyard is not a good idea because it is anachronistic.
Baruch, you are talking about 'you don't believe what I believe, so you are an atheist' mentality. This is not about religion or belief.
It's about the accumulation and evolution of knowledge. It's not just the concept of atheism, a lot of fundamental concepts have the same problem. The main reason is that -as you all know- social disiplines are inherently historical and linguistic and while it is based on thousands of years of telephone game, what we read today is the last version of these concepts applied to our time's mentality and vocabulary. It's all re-written in higher contexts with richer vocabulary. They are not the same thing they started, they cannot be.
There is a reason that why in the last 30 years, there is an explosion of new terms for everything in cultural studies from gender studies to sociolinguistics. A huge amount of them will fade away in the next 50 years. That's what has been going on, that's how it works.

Knowledge is filtered by belief and delusion and prejudice. It isn't free ... see fake news reports. I know myself, that arithmetic works. That is reliable knowledge. Whether or not Karl Marx wore a fake beard in public appearances ... we will never know ;-) I have posted before, there is clear evidence of a case against Benjamin Franklin, for being a serial killer. That totally changes the American Revolution narrative. Believing Marxist history theory (an obsolete form of 19th century anthropology) gives an entirely different narrative of the 20th century. Lenin for example was put into play, by the Germans in wartime, and backed by Jewish financiers in NYC. So he was a traitor (and per Hitler, a half breed barbarian who was a useful tool for international judaism). Biden today was put into play by the CCP and their running shi tzu. Depending on what you believe. The idea that one is purely factual and purely logical ... is a complete lie and irrational.
Oh ffs. You confuse information with knowledge and categories with ideologies. Marxism is not an ideology. It's a philosophical form of analysis, criticism of capitalist social, political, economical developments of societies. Of course it is materialist, forget everything, as form of set of opinions only, it is a reaction to the traditional idealist German thought in the first place. Because we live in a physically real world and we have to make a living. Because everything has started to change when we stopped growing our own crops, making our own clothes...etc.
So people have to challenge the power structures. What makes our period unique compared to the 150 years ago -besides and with the scientific revolutions- is that we know that all power structure must to be challenged. Note that I'm not talking about a physical or military challenge in this context. When speaking of knowledge, this is literary analysis. It's criticism. Critical theories, modern, old...etc.
In the Western civilisation, universities, reserach instutions...etc have autonomy. (For example, ours don't.) What does that mean? It means they produce scientific traditions, they produce knowledge... academics, scholars, researchers, thinkers...etc. Obviously, STEM; science and technology works VERY differently in every sense.
Now, those scientific traditions also goes with social disiciplines, this has been going for hundreds of years. As Western civilisation accept the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations as their founding point it has been going on for thousands of years.
So the knowledge I mean is the result and constant evolution of that accumulation. It's still in the books. Not in podcasts or vlogs or blogs. Because those mediums are the killer of this kind of knowledge. That's why Sam Harris gets surprised when white supremacist, far right, racist, sexist male groups follow him devoutly. I wonder, why?
The situation right now is that masses of people -guess who- keep screaming that anything besides STEM is bullshit and it should be abolished, wiped out from education, esp. high education. This doesn't change the fact that the civilisation they live in is based on that 'bullshit'. And that bullshit has an order, methods, strong influence all our lives. If they can go out and have a drink with a woman and then go to her place to have sex, it is because of that development. So they're like women defending sharia in this context. They are so fatally ignorant, it is not even shooting oneself in the foot but in the head.
So, again, we are not talking about the same things.
Human beings individually and collectively are part of a chaotic psychological dialectic. Hegel and Marx were optimists. Human beings have no real knowledge, real understanding or real wisdom. Anything a person does or society does, is done in spite of the irredeemably corrupt human nature.
Human thought, human communication, human culture are all gibberish. We do what we do without understanding what we are doing, similar to a computer. Consciousness exists, but it is useless.

Humans have evolved to percieve themselves independent from the nature and this makes them alienated. Other animals can't do this, doesn't matter how smart they are, or how good they learn some sign language and certain tricks but in crude terms, compared to us, they have a direct line to nature. At some point in our evolution, our link with nature was cut off.
That's why humans have drawn pictures on cave walls and covered themselves and created stories, myths... So they could relate themselves back to the nature. This requires observation. This observation thing was very interesting and powerful. It worked so well, when done right, certain things gained new meanings. For starters, certain events and phenomenons looked like they repeated themselves under certain circumstances and changed in others.
So the animal found out that he can use this for his own benefit and thought, I want it! Can I have it, can I control it, can I reproduce it? First he stole them. He stole the fire, he stole the lightening and in some way, before having an inkling what it is, he even 'stole' the gravity as he learned to build, also because we don't really exactly know when humans started to build strong archs and so free standing buildings ignoring any kind of geography. This was all before 'the tipping point'.
And all of these happened because of human empathy which is what you define as "choatic psychological dialectic" and "irredeemably corrupt human nature".
The tricky thing is, we use the word empathy almost always in a positive way, esp. in human relationships, social isssues. If we look it up, its meaning is given as 'the ability to share the feelings of another'. However, you need empathy to be a thief, a conman, a politician, to be a serial killer too.
In fact, you need empathy to understand the working of anything; be it a simple situation, or any kind of phenomenon; natural, social. It's the base of human intgelligence. No other animal on the planet, including all the apes, have the empathic ability of a 5 year old human child in this context.
Empathy, emotions, imagination...that is the base of human intgelligence and NO, it is not similar to a computer. That's called human consciousness. It's MESSY, FUSSY, FUCKED UP. And again NO, Baruch it is not useless. It's how you reach to realism and rationalism, basic reasoning; that's called understanding. Your problem is with the
meanings people load to what they understand which seems like THE understanding upclose. Then that is called culture and it's a gargentous, slippery, tricky concept. It's organic, constantly changes. Why are you throwing it around like name calling or a grumpy come back?
That's why you have a vendetta with Marx, don't you? LOL Because if you are not a moron -I really don't think you are, just teasing- you should be aware or read enough that in your chaotic psychological dialectic, you are pretty Marxist compared to the rest of the forum.
You can't surgically cut the parts you like between Hegel and Marx, sew them together then stand on it. However, you could believe in a creator and isn't that your position anyway? "Truth or happines. Never both." Are you happy now? You are happy now, aren't you? :lol:
You are not a true Marxist ;-) It is man made society (under evolving technology) that creates alienation. People aren't alienated if they are physically and mentally fit, and live in a loving and supporting small social group (hunting clan). Both points are directly taken from Rousseau/Marx.
So you don't want to be an individualist? You want to be a sterile female clone taking care of the honeycomb?

Atheists are mostly feral naturalists. They want to run around on all fours biting other animals ... naughty naughty. But at least they won't be alienated from nature (did I hear Rousseau laughing?). Rousseau had an obsolete anthropology that idealized Native Americans. Marx extended this to Europeans, who are just forest dwelling savages under the skin. The "cult of the Native American" continues in France, where the Native Americans always win (as if the French colonists were better).

Use your words, Baruch. Nobody's reading your or my posts right now. Express your opinion. You keep saying you don't care about what people think about what you write but then you act like a 9 year old pouring down everything that comes to his mind just before going to bed while greeting his parents' guests in a christmas cocktail.
I don't know anything. I read something and then I think and try to express what I think about it. Considering it is your native language,it should be easier for you, no? It's not a comptetition. We are having a coversation.
If one redefines every word (which you often seem to want to do) to be ... ambiguous, then sentences are just monkey grunts. Planet of the Communist Apes achieved! (the author of that was a .... Frenchman).

pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth ... what not to like? ;-)) Basically what Greco-Roman means. That image represents "pride" the cause of all the other sins. So what separates R from D?

"Mysterious metal monolith found in the wilds of Utah by team of biologists"
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/utah-monolith-discovery-biologists-helicopter-b1760571.html
It's found by a group of biologists counting sheep via helicopter and they're having fun too. (Somebody said that part is more interesting, I agree, lol. How do you count sheep from a helicopter? The scenery is all red rock, so it is easy, is that it?) A group of alien religous people or something like that could have found it.
But then I dunno. In this climate, I say someone grab it, let's start a religion. We all need money. I mean, did they even check the celestial coordinates it points to?! :shifty:
It's easy to tally sheep from the air. You just count their legs and divide by four.

Theists are so obsessed with death, they are willing to sacrifice pleasures and opportunities in this life for the sake of getting something better after they die. I also find it funny how Christians accuse us of being materialistic, when the only reason they do what they do is for some mansion in the sky. When we do good things, it's not because we think we're going to get rewarded for it; it's because we actually care about other human beings.

Do things responsibly of course. Eat a little drink a little ... people saved by grace know they aren't going to Hell, at least not in the next life. Any other religion is useless (at least psychosomatically).

Aside from the meme, I found that pic interesting. It's too perfect. That's a pretty old pic, isn't it? The phone is old, the woman is young. I just thought looking at it, they probably couldn't find a pic of a young woman knitting, let alone one talking on a smart phone while knitting. But then look at her hair and her dress. In this context, her dress indicates she's been to a funeral, I guess another reason for the choice, or I'm over interpreting. Her hair goes with the funeral theme but then thinking that this is a real photograph what was that woman realy doing while that pic was taken. Is that a last minute, home made Halloween costume for an evil misstress in an old orphanage? Is she trying to show someone how to do it quickly before leaving the house for the party. Is she getting instructions about her knitting from the phone after attending her gran's funeral? So many questions.
AAAnd glad to notice here, right now that this is something even the pandemic couldn't change in me. The urge of analysing nonsensical stuff obesessively. Yaaaaay!
The youngish lady knitting is to symbolize "I've done everything else I can think of doing..." Nothing surprising about a old woman knitting, as Sylvester's old human taught me in the early '60s.
I went through my knitting/needlepoint/macrame phase as a kid. This was back in the 70s when football player Rosey Grier was doing it.
(https://babygatesdown.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/roseycollage.jpg)
It helped me realize that "girl things" and "boy things" are arbitrary. There is nothing inherently feminine about creating textiles
Anyone who takes knitting for granted or think it is something you could just pick up and do when you have nothing to do, absoluely has no idea about it. I'm not even going into gender thing...pffft.
Thinking now, probably the low quality of last generation 'hand knitted' material owes to a lot to that prejudice. It was started to be seen trivial and low class at some point?
I've found a few scarves -just scarves not even something complicated- mom knitted when she was in her 20s, I can't believe the quality of..what is that called in English, noose, stitch? How do I know that beca%u0131se I haven't seen anything like that even in main stream high end shops.
But something tells me this is also about the self reliant, fixing qualities of that generation. My aunts and esp. my gran was the same. They all say -gran's dead- they are too old to do it anymore. Mom knitts but she is never staisfied with it.
They also sewed like professional tailors. (Gran did it professionally for some time.) Same story. Too many times I gave the answer of 'nope, hand made by mom' to a 'Where did you get that?' question in my youth.
To be honest, I'm ashamed to be the descendent of those women in that department. We didn't get its value at the required age and they've also never forced us. They should have.

We used an electric hot dog cooker in "shop" in Junior High. A cord to the wall, a rheostat to control the current, a board with two nails in it. You impaled a hot dog across the nails to complete the circuit. This was a teaching moment, about the dangers of electricity. Snowflakes would ban it now ;-)

I bet if the pen holders, the noble class men I mean, have asked the sailors they would get an idea. Maybe that's how they found out. In their position, sailors probably even had to eat them on ocassions. Although religion wise it could be forbidden too.

Yeah, you do think differently. I like that. I can relate. I've done so all my life. Until the last 10/15 years it bothered me a bit. I always seemed to have a different slant on things and most people did not want to hear it. Now, I fully accept it and like that I'm not a herd thinker. I have often been asked something to the effect--wouldn't you like to be more normal? My reply is that I'd rather be healthy. So, Shoe, you do think differently which is why I'm very glad you stay and post. Your views of this society from the viewpoint of another culture is always interesting. That you can fluently speak/write in English (and American) and Turkish (and I'm sure more), offers a view from a flexible mind, and the viewpoint of a female means you can offer very different views on all aspects of life. As long as you maintain a decent level of rational thought (and don't go off into the vast abyss that is Baruch-like babble) you have a lot to offer this forum.

Sad. I was one of the last Forum people Solomon talked to. He was really messed up about his past and needed professional help. I didn't get a clue what he was going to do about it. How do people get professional help if it is something in their far past, that they are ashamed of? Calling Dr Freud!

QuoteThe sudden appearance of the English army caught the Norwegians by surprise. The English advance was then delayed by the need to pass through the choke-point presented by the bridge itself. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has it that a giant Norse axeman (possibly armed with a Dane Axe) blocked the narrow crossing and single-handedly held up the entire English army. The story is that this axeman cut down up to 40 Englishmen and was defeated only when an English soldier floated under the bridge in a half-barrel and thrust his spear through the planks in the bridge, mortally wounding the axeman.

In New Episode, The Mandalorian Has To Protect Baby Yoda From Being Ruined By Rian Johnson

I think most people gave up on sex sometime before the pandemic and now, they are either having it too much because of boredom and trying new things at home or getting ready for a divorce/break up.
I mean think about the impact of the pandemic on people's sex lives. There should be a rise in pregnancy but then a lot of people living together but spend most of their time avoiding each other probably living through hell.
A pandemic would be a really good time to see what kind of a relationship you have compared to what you think you have.

They also ignored it in...like EVERY book in the extended universe library? And then there's The Knights of the Old Republic, which definitely had more than two Sith. Heck, in Star Wars lore, there used to be an entire planet of Sith. They used to be considered a race, not a school, but the meaning changed as the original Sith died out. That rule of two thing doesn't make any sense when you take it too literally. I think it's more like if there's one Sith, that Sith has a student. Maybe that student will go separate ways after either having an argument or feeling they've learned everything they could from their master. Maybe they'll take on a student of their own. But in order to preserve themselves and avoid attracting attention, maybe a Sith is reluctant to take more than one student. If that's not what the rule of two means, you basically just have to pretend that nothing outside of the main six movies exists.

The prequels aren't awful. They're actually better in some ways than the originals, particularly with the action, in my opinion. I mean, come on. Obiwan vs Darth Vader in A New Hope is boring compared to the stuff we got in the prequels. Also, Star Wars started getting weird at Episode VI, not the prequels. The dialog in Return of the Jedi is just as bad as anything that ever came out of Anakin's mouth.

No, seriously. When's the last time you watched Return of the Jedi? It's the first movie where George Lucas didn't have his ideas filtered through someone else, and it shows. If the original cut of A New Hope was released, it wouldn't have had a sequel. Return of the Jedi is just...bad. The only thing separating it from the prequels is the lack of bad CGI (at least, until Lucas made the "special edition") and Harrison Ford. Ian McDiarmid was at least able to take the bad writing and play it so cartoonishly awful that it becomes entertaining.
That's actually one thing I think was most disappointing about The Rise of Skywalker. Ian McDiarmid played his role too straight in that movie. After coming to love his performance in the prequels, seeing him legitimately try to be intimidating just didn't work at all for me.

In the 90s. My interest waned as the original cut steadily got replaced with the "Special Edition", essentially added CGI in the background that no one wanted or liked. When I saw Greedo shoot first, it effectively killed my interest in the original trilogy entirely.

Agreed, though of course you realize that this is exactly why the Prequels were so awful; no one challenged Lucas creatively and went along with whatever he said (at the time, he spun straw into box office gold, so it made perfect sense to follow his lead). The end result was abject failure.

Aside from the badly written dialog (specifically from Anakin), and the contradictions to the previous movies (Obi-wan sure aged fast, didn't he?), I personally find the prequels to be enjoyable, yet super corny, action movies. I also enjoy the creativity in the aliens design, since CGI allowed Lucas to make whatever his mind came up with. Would have been pretty hard to make a flying lizard mount with practical effects. They're bad, but they're fun.

I said as much earlier in the thread. But after watching the six movies back to back in preparation for Disney's A New Hope reboot, I noticed a significant change from V to VI. Return of the Jedi doesn't have the same feel to it as the previous too. The dialog is stilted, even Harris Ford can't always save it. He probably didn't even want to be there, since it was his idea to have his character killed off. You've got the emperor who was not in the original move, who finally shows up and plays the most over the top cartoon villain so that Vader can have someone more evil than himself to turn on. They completely dropped the foreshadowing of the other potential Jedi Yoda alluded to in the previous movie (Leia, I assume). They recycled the Death Star threat too, although they had a nice twist this time with it being fully operational before the good guys thought it was. Certainly better than "Death Star, but bigger." People complain about Snoke being surprise killed by Kylo Ren. Like, "How did he not sense that coming or here the lightsaber moving?" But this movie has Sidious torturing Vader's son right in front of him, giving him a slow and painful death, and this guy has shown himself to be able to predict the future multiple times, but he's surprised when Vader betrays him? It's the same thing! Well, aside from the fact that we still didn't even know who Snoke was.

The aging is probably the least objectionable thing in a mountain of objectionable things. Episode 1 in particular doesn't need a script doctor as much as it needs a script necromancer. Fittingly, we got something like that in the Clone Wars TV show, with Darth Maul getting a second shot as a character, and this time much more fleshed out.

Whew! You had me worried there.
And I give the prequels props for having excellent action setpieces - clearly, Lucas's forte. The Genosis battle made the price of admission worth it for Episode 2. Same with Order 66 and the Mustafar duel for Episode 3.
QuoteI said as much earlier in the thread.
Just wanted to be sure. I bring it up because there's a significant generational gap in how the prequels were received, younger generations rated it much higher than older generations.
I have some theories about why this is the case. The prequels seem to be at the early edge of a change in how movies are produced - entirely CGI characters, CGI backdrop, (I'm struggling to describe the rest in a neutral tone), "punchier" action scenes with less build-up, and needing to fill in characters' backstories unnecessarily *coughSolocough*
QuoteThey recycled the Death Star threat too, although they had a nice twist this time with it being fully operational before the good guys thought it was.
Personally, I think Lucas came up with a different version of the first Death Star battle sometime after A New Hope was released and decided to do that for Return of the Jedi.
I've gotta say, it turned out very well. Unlike the first Death Star battle, this is a conflict on three fronts - the space battle between the rebel fleet and the empire, the land assault on the shield generator on Endor, and Luke's duel with Vader (which does double duty since it's a moral as well as physical fight). I can't think of a more fitting climax than that.
QuotePeople complain about Snoke being surprise killed by Kylo Ren. Like, "How did he not sense that coming or here the lightsaber moving?"
It's not so much that as it was that Snoke was built up as this mysterious villain so of course the audience expects to learn more. But instead of delivering on that, the writer literally just crumpled the paper as he was writing Snoke and had him unceremoniously killed off instead. Same with Phasma. LAZY.
The Emperor is actually the exact opposite of that, were we learn a great deal about what he wants and how he operates before his death scene.

A few minutes after sending my post, a thought occurred to me. I wonder if that might have been meant as a hint to Snoke's true identity. Both he and Sidious died in similar ways, too focused on seeing the hero die to notice their apprentice stab them in the back. They did, apparently, foreshadow Rey's connection to Palpatine with her theme and her fighting style. At first glance, it seems like Disney had no plan whatsoever, but they did at least seem to have a few things planned out. If only they executed those ideas better, so they didn't seem to come out of nowhere.
For the Sequels, they didn't have pretty much anything planned out in advance and it shows. So no foreshadowing. What we got was the quickest and easiest way to get him out of the picture. If it has vague similarities to Palpatine, it's purely coincidental.

I dunno about that. In the prequels, they used Palpatine's theme as festival music, as a bit of vague foreshadowing. They appeared to do the same with Rey. There's actually a video on YouTube of a guy predicting the "Rey is related to Palpatine" reveal before the second movie came out. Nobody took it seriously until...you know.

But the Intel was reversed. Taranto based Italian Navy attacked because of Ultra information. The US had Purple information on the coming Japanese attack, and let it happen anyway.

No. First, the Purple code was used by Gaimusho, not the military. Remember the rule, to spread information far and wide you have three main means:
Telephone
Telegraph
Tell a diplomat
Kaigun and HyÅbushÅ never blabbed about their plans. Yoshikawa Takeo and the 2nd Military attaché at Honolulu did observe the movements of the US Fleet, then based at Pearl Harbor, but as they knew nothing of the impending attack they couldn't give it away.
Now, if you're talking about the "Winds Code" you'll be happy to hear that "East Wind Rain" was never sent. That phrase was one of the list of code snippets that were prohibited to the regular broadcasters, men and women who liked not being in prison or dead and thus paid attention to the list without asking questions.
Clear enough?
You don't believe that Churchill and FDR didn't know in advance (more or less)? Even J Edgar Hoover knew (he was told by a double agent). Didn't we read the Japanese diplomatic code even before Dec 7 1941? Of course we can presume that none of that traffic (need to know) had the exact details of course. But that wasn't necessary, what was necessary was to BS the US into WW II, to save FDR and Churchill and Stalin.

Nah. You don't need a sneak attack, just an attack. Let them come, but have your forces ready, start the war off in decent shape. Everyone knew war with Japan was a given anyways. How stupid...all of the right wing conspiracy ass-wipes condemn the government for being inept, but somehow that very same government manages all these amazing secret operations, LOL.

FDR was a racist, he thought that they couldn't attack Pearl Harbor because of distance, but would attack the Philippines, which they did the same day, and everyone forgets that. They didn't have the imagination to read General Billy Mitchell's report from of 1923 or understand that torpedoes could be made to work in that shallow harbor. They forget the complete incompetence of General McArthur and the Army/Navy leaders on Oahu. It was estimated by General Marshall, that half of the peacetime officers would be incompetent in combat, getting themselves and their men killed. He tried to shorten the learning curve, by using his little black book to promote younger officers over more senior ones, to maximize talent (aka Eisenhower). You can never underestimate the stupidity of politicians, or the lack of "military" intelligence in the military.
The Battle of Kasserine Pass was an example, that my grandfather narrowly avoided (he was farther back in Algeria at the time) ...

Fortunately grandfather didn't get to Tunisia until General Patton was put in charge. The losing America general at Kasserine Pass was lacking in imagination and practicality.

No, no, no! FDR was a murderous bastard who willing to let thousands of Americans die in the Pacific so he could get into the war in Europe, something he was doing pretty good at already but that's irrelevant facts and shit.
IF we knew about the attack we could have had nearly five hundred anti-aircraft guns locked and loaded, a line of destroyers anchored east of Battleship Row (to spoil torpedo attacks) and all ships buttoned up tight to prevent flooding and capsizing.
BUT FDR wanted to start a war in the Pacific to get into a war in Europe and getting our primary battleline sunk sounded like a good idea. If you're Baruch, that is.

AND we have a rare glimpse in to the conspiracy nut's mind documented. Senator Gerald P. Nye was giving a speech to America First that day. He was in full mouth-foaming when an aid put a note reporting the attack on Pearl beside his notes on the podium. Nye continued his speech unabated. When he got backstage he said "He must have tricked them!" FDR HAD TO BE TO BLAME.
If you're not familiar with Nye he started an investigation into "foreign influence in Hollywood." He was only going to investigate British "influence", of course. The hearings collapsed with everyone on the panel admitted to having not seen a single movie under investigation. Nye adjourned the hearings in Sept. with it to reopen in January 1942. Of course...
FDR didn't trick Japan. They were aggressive as hell, so by cutting off their oil and steel, he was waving a red flag in front of them. And the Japanese warned him that was causus belli (that an ordering them to pull out of China (minus Manchuria). No, I don't think Evil FDR failed to properly defend Pearl Harbor, when he knew it was coming. They knew the attack on the Philippines was coming, and MacArthur was a total failure on defense. MacArthur was only good on offense (see Inchon). Aggressive violence has its own logic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_iNUXhrfw
Japan wasn't wrong in being hostile to the US and European colonialism, they were wrong in thinking that Koreans, Chinese etc were racially inferior. This led Hitler into the immense error of dropping support for the Republic of China (who like him was anti-communist) but to join with the misleadingly similar Japanese, who who became a mousetrap for FDR. And Hitler could still have won, if he had refused to honor the Tripartite Pact when Japan attacked the US (but attacking European colonials in Asia was OK), and if he had remained on the allied but defensive posture with the Soviet Union.
The foreign influence in Hollywood wasn't Axis, it was Jewish and pro-communist. This became an issue again after WWII, and still is.
The Japanese were murdering thousands of people every day in China. Nanking was the worst of the lot. The was one full month of rape, murder, and destruction, specifically ordered by the commanders, not some bunch of rogue troops, it was government policy.
The American public did not want us supplying the aggressors with war materials.
Taking the specific case of oil,
(1) the military was demanding the national reserves be brought up to the levels recommended.
(2) The American economy depended on oil to keep running.
(3) The British wanted every drop we could spare.
(4) The Japanese wanted fuel to bomb orphanages and hospitals.
It wasn't hard to sort out priorities.
Japan was also violating the Nine Power Treaty, which said that anyone who wanted to do business in China should speak with the Chinese, not anyone else, even heavily armed invaders. The Japanese set up a policy in the areas they conquered that required non-Chinese businesses to have a Japanese member on the board, one with veto power in situations that were vaguely characterized.
Should I keep going?
Japan didn't care what would happen to China, Korea, Soviet Union, British Empire, French Empire, Dutch Empire or American Empire. Why should they? Are you assuming that the post-WWII UN POV is the correct one? More victor myopia.
If we are talking about alternative history, the collective incompetence of all the leadership of every country 1914-1945 was chaos and ruin. Too bad there was no foresight ;-)) So yes, one could think that human leadership (usually people with greater education too, except for Stalin, who was a pure thug) could do better. Since people mature and die, to be replaced by yet another clueless generation, I can't see the present as being any different. We would have to live a lot longer as individuals, and to value maturity much higher, to actually do better.

Ah, the "God created Adam and Eve, and Adam and Steve" argument. That's such a weak ass argument. Even if we assume the creation myth of Christianity is true, God creating a man and a woman was necessary. Otherwise, the human species would have met a dead end right at the start. I mean, you still have the unavoidable issue of incest with their children, so a truly intelligent God would have just made more than two people to start with. But God choosing not to make his only two humans, responsible for repopulating the Earth, a gay or lesbian couple says nothing about whether or not gay or lesbian marriage would be allowed later.

Nope. Unrelated. It's been circulating due to the movie hype and I liked it.
So I wasn't the only person to think of that comparison. Interesting.

My comment was worse, lol. Guys, you don't really realise that you -and hundreds of people- completely misunderstand this tweet? He means the ancestors he was told about. Why would anyone try to specify their ancestry in a tweet in the first place? In a tiny space and a platform that would attract negative respond in anyway, whatever they write. And instead of thinking that first, why do you automatically assume the poster is using the word as a general noun without knowing what he is writing because of course he is stupid, just because someone else suggested it? There is nothing funny or stupid about that comment. It's actually stupid to take it this way.
OK. I'm not trying to offend anyone or exclude myself from obviously a common human behaviour. :lol: Yes, it is just a post in funny pics. I'm trying to make a point because it is also a perfect example of a mechanism. Are you aware of the level of literal thinking in this? This is the exact way of thinking why/how we clash with believers of any kind here. The connection between the reception of that post to the meme culture is not really different than how religous iconography works. :lol:

Yep.
Projection is the single, unifying defining feature of Republicans/Conservatives, from working poor voter to inside trader Senator, imo. They might have slightly different ideological beliefs or be Republican for different motives... but projecting their flaws on others is something every one of them does regardless of their socio-economic-political standing.

In case you're missing the context, Ted Cruz took his family on a vacation during a statewide crisis in Texas, where many people are stuck without power or water during a very unusually cold week. He's been taking a lot of flack for that. Personally, I don't really think it was that big of a deal. He wasn't gone very long, and it's not like the guy is going to do any good for us here anyway. Doubt he or the governor will do anything to make things better, much less prevent this from happening again. Still, I found this whole situation hilarious. Any reason to shit on Cruz, I'm up for. lol

If they're raised alone with humans, yeah. Otherwise, they are a pretty developed community with all types of relationships. Especially among females. We get milk mothers often for example. And some fathers who don't eat before mothers and offsprings do. It's fascinating. But they fight pretty ugly. Basically, flying around in blood. Dead bodies are rare, but torn faces are ocassional.
Best apex predator ever. But they are not ferals. I'm talking about strays. They've accepted humans. We have relationships with them, they come to ask for help. Bring their kittens and so on. Feral cats are completely different. They are basically wild animals. They don't get close to humans, ever. Very rare.
I adopted a feral once, as a favor to some students in the Vet School at Purdue. They knew the history of this guy back three generation, barn cats. He became my buddy, but he was very hinky around other humans, including my wives.

I devoured a dictionary when I was twelve. Six months stay in bed. When I had read everything in the house (BOTH books, my school books, and my brother's school books.) Mom found an old desk dictionary, ~6 inches thick, and told me to start with "A". I finished that just as the full set of
World Book encyclopedias arrived.
:lol: Nutter. We had Britannica too along with big dictionaries.... but naah we loved the animal encyclopedia. And old national geographics. Library was too adult, we were kept out of it up to around 15. My sister and I used to do this thing with the modern painting coffee table books. Remember those old style, hard cover ones? We would start one by one, and leave this specific one to the end, go through the pages slowly because it had a Dali painting at the end. And all that ritual was to scream like hell, make faces to the pic of that painting for minutes on end. :lol: Gawd...childhood is an amazing thing...
E: Ohhh...there was this japanese art book dad brought from Japan...It had nude figure si nit...we loved that too. But I guess it never felt like something 'naughty' even at that age.

Funny, Republicans didn't seem very interested in unity when they were the ones in power. It's almost like they just want things their own way and aren't interested in compromise. What do they call people like that? Oh, yeah, obstructionists. But I thought Liberals were supposed to be the obstructionists. Couldn't be projection, could it?

Saint Patrick is said to have driven all the snakes out of Ireland (in reality, they weren't able to spread to Ireland and survive, they aren't in Ireland's fossil record) + Medusa is said to have a head full of snakes instead of hair = Saint Patrick inadvertently banishing Medusa's snakes.

I feel like I can come up with a backstory for why this picture makes sense.
In a world where intelligent alien crabs have slowly come to enslave humanity. Humanity pushed back by denying the intellectual advancement of all "crab folk."
But the "scholastic PMT" didn't work, and the entire world, is ITCHIN' for a hero....
Sounds like the opening of a sequel to "Needle" by Hal Clement.

I can certainly understand the excitement the immigrants must have felt. Within 10 years my Romanian grandparents owned and operated a general store in NYC. It would have been interesting to me to have the opportunity to know more about the old country or maybe learn a few languages when I was very young. It must have been pretty bad, since they used all of their money to board the Cunard ship, RMS Pannonia at Trieste and venture to a new world. Everything I know about them is from the ship's passenger list (and that immigration officer had terrible penmanship, LOL) and a few photos. I read that most immigrants were processed within a few hours if they passed the medical exam.
They had their debates over immigration back then as well..

Also, it's socialism if the veteran gets help and therefore verboten (though one wonders how wars are funded). Thus speaks the politicians with socialized healthcare and the wealthy who can afford the best of care out of pocket.

No, it's the same as the GOP's "immigrants come to the US to take our jobs and live off welfare." "Army" is shorthand for a mass of people in this case, and an attempt to dignify the American unemployed. Not that it's "Flood" vs. "Army". (We looked at similar when I was at Purdue.

It's a pun. Bass is a type of fish and bass (pronounced base) is low pitch sound.
Ohh...lol. It doesn't sound even remotely close to that in my tongue. Levrek. I'm curious how different the taste is.
Well, largemouth bass is a fighting fish, and prized for that so much that people put them back if they show truly high levels of fight, but the flesh is largely indistinguishable from crappie and the like.
I was looking up fish names...it's useless to look for accurate translation. Like natural bushes and trees. They have so many names, local, general...different ones for every size. I don't even know the original names in my own tongue.

It's still 13, right?
This is an interesting subject. I can't think of an example of 'dark humour'. But what I find 'dark' are the posting memes, gifs that include bad, natural human condition, something that cannot be helped, a desperate situation as humour. Stuff includes handicapped people, people with some different natural physical trait, a bad accident... The thing is, it is not actually an emotional response. It's not. (I've been told that many times, lol.) I find it stupid. And I mean awful, genuine stupidity at that. Because it is something that cannot be changed, intervened or worked for. Nobody has/can have an effect on it. Does that make any sense?
I think, almost nothing is just a stand alone 'product' to me in this sense though. Somebody made/wrote that -whatever it is- and the person who made it in there with the person who posted it, along with me. It's a conversation between multiple entities in some situation.
For example, when GSO posts something like that -above the dark humour post- I automatically think/see it with him thinking/feeling the meme in some spatial sense, like sitting at at table with his husband somewhere back in the scene. I automatically see/think of Hydra watching Ceasar in the party with the assassin, looking back and forth between them and then turn his head in a bady way not to look and disappear from the scene. Cassia's feels like she puts fixed postits between some busy work, coming and going without spending much time. This is not something fixed about people and changes all the time of course. Sometimes it's very vivid, sometimes very vague or nonexistent. It's about the 'geist' that person reflects periods in general I guess. It constantly changes. It's about the general experience of them.

Pretty accurate. When posted that I was at the kitchen counter with my Surface tablet while my husband prepared dinner.

Trust me, that's
mild in comparison to some of the names I've seen, some of which I think should be the basis of an emotional abuse investigation by our agency. Get a fucking Cabbage Patch Kid if you want to name a kid something "cute" or "funny", and give your child a sane name that they don't have to adopt a nickname to get around.
I believe all people should be allowed one free legal name change between the ages of 18 and 21. Because holy fuck.

Still mild. I can't even give some examples I've seen because they're so unique/misspelled/mental it could identify the child. I
can say that no child's name should begin with the letters 'Xz'. 'X', yes. 'Z', yes. 'Xz', no.
Have seen it. More than once. One of 'em I calculated was worth about 40 points in Scrabble without double or triple letter or word squares.
I've encountered La-sha, pronounced "Ladasha".
The most unfortunate legal name of some I have actually met is a white guy named LaPrecious. They didn't even use the masculine definite article "le" instead of "la". He goes by Buddy.
I have strong feelings about this. Names are very powerful, we are simple beings. With mine, I've always felt like, feel like that it wasn't given to me, but I was just born with it. It also fits my surname in sound and meaning in an weird way with my personality. Not something in plain sight or even positive...tsk...lol. It's hard to explain. But it's just me. Probably because of all that, I can't even imagine to be called anything else. Interestingly enough, more than a few people who know me have voiced the same thing along my life. But I never had a nickname. Maybe there is something better fitting in that department who knows.

Honestly, I don't like these kinds of videos. But in that convo it was really funny ...and you know what, this would be the result in every European country. But it is always American vids...So the poster was annoyed about that too. After all teenagers, man. We have all been there.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to command that 'information' like you do today then, when you just have learned it. You have used it over and over again for so long, it's become a part of your general knowledge. You can forget your name because of an accident, you won't forget that. It is far more rare in amnesia. You see it as a whole. Not like some bits of puzzle in an uncovered map as kids do. That's how knowledge works. Time and usage are very important with knowledge.
But that's not the point. Those videos are made with certain agendas. And it is rarely about how bad the education somewhere is. If that is the problem, we don't need any specific nation; Tik Tok generation is the same everywhere. But we have been watching the same 'Americans are morons' videos since my early 20s. Or how stupid people are anywhere out of the Western countries, compared to some iq tests, lol. Brits or Americans...Those kids are not even paying attention to the questions they are asked. They hear continet, but understand country because they think of the world as places they hear and see around the most. Some would even look at some names as political ones, so not suitable to say in front of a camera. Even adults would do that. They all know the difference between a continent and a country. All they see is that somebody's recording them to post somewhere, paying them a public attention.
A good video of that sort would be one which most people say: 'I don't know' if they can't get it in 5 secs, not trying to say something just the heck of it.
"Back then"...yeah back then it was better all around. Let me give an example. Additional to all that, I also had to study physics, math, chemistry and biology. In another language. In Literature Class, no less. And Literature Class meant 'the lazy idiots' in my generation. Which is pretty accurate if you ask me. What do I know? The other classes were Math and Science Classes.
From that generation, among the kids like my sister and several friends who attended Science or Math classes got in above average universities abroad very easily, because they could pass English. If you can pass an international English tests, it means you went to a private school or better a state college (high school; kolej). Overwhelming amount of these kids were from middle class or higher. Most couldn't get in of course, no English, but for what's needed STEM wise was what they studied in a public high school and that was taught in universites in first years.
Of course, these kids had to pass special tests besides English. Like math. So you have a funny picture. A childhood friend of mine did the math full and she was applying for psychology. OK, I accept that an exception but it was pretty funny considering the average and the top bar. Or in chem with my sis.
So in 90s, the people who got into STEM education abroad, esp. for majors, practically slept in first years. Got pretty successful, found jobs very easily. More experience. These kids got around with their high school basic only and started to build on earlier. They've mostly become middle or higher class Americans. You couldn't tell their ethnic roots. They are all around but Americans don't even see them as immigrants because they're white. There are more extreme examples, like people who worked for science commitee to people who earned millions... but personally related, so not my place. American people can't even imagine Turkish people in this position among them, can they? Nobody would think Mid E immigrants looking at them. My sister has never actually lived an immigrant life in the US. Of course, this would all have been different in Europe. (Maybe a bit different in Germany for Turks, for Indians in Brtian.) But oh well, it is America.
Why is this important. Perspective, perception. Politics. So with Americans, like the middle easterners, exactly the same bullshit has been going on in a different way. You are a close society, and an easy target for obvious reasons. Common intelligence of a society or its stupidity is not measured by asking trivial questions to random young people on street. It cannot be measured. Education is a social and a politcial concept to say the least, it is very complicated. This kind of stuff doesn't have one good intention in it. It's a pure political behaviour, and a learned one.
Do you think Creationism, esp. in education is a threat in the US only concerning Western Cultures? It's been gaining power there from Scandinavia to Netherlands, not to mention others. Have you ever seen it expressed as an open issue? And the moment you look into it, you are bombarded by pieces that for some reason jump to American creationists and US based intelligent design groups in the second paragraph, their influence and of course Islamic communities supporting it happen. Poor Europeans, they are being tricked into creationism by evil Americans and muslims are helping them. Yeah...it is pretty much like the other subject.
Having said all that, as a specific white Brit group thinks their kids are more intelligent than any other nation's, that vid was a good one to post to a white, mainly brexit group. Yeah, there are healthy, real people there too. But I admit, I personally found it hillarious. Because first of all, they are not as carefree as Americans with this stuff. LOL Americans wouldn't give a damn, maybe express worry generally, they would post it themselves.
It just gets on my nerves. Like almost everything else, lol. Anyway, enough Europe bashing for one day.

So I'm dutifully working from home when I hear a *BONK*scrabblescrabblescrabble and what Fuzz-For-Brains has done is first taken a header into the window trying to get at the sparrow on the feeder, and then lost what few dignity points she had left after that trying to hang on to a plaster wall with no clawholds.

It would be impossible for states to ever come into existence because they'd have to invent every department/institution simultaneously.

Humans kind to have a tendency to name all that shit in between, the lack of it, and what's around too. They also write a lot of fiction about it. Then they make movies and tv shows about them. Then they take those in between and create other in betweens, arounds... to make more fiction, movies and tv shows about it in completely different times and spaces. Sometimes, they make it good.

The largest iceberg in the world just broke off from Antarctica (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iceberg-antarctica-largest-break-off/)
A massive slab of ice, roughly the shape of Manhattan but more than 70 times larger, has sheared off from Antarctica and floated into the Weddell Sea. It is now the largest iceberg in the world, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.
Newly-calved iceberg A-76 was captured by satellites by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, ESA said Wednesday. The space agency said that the surface area of the iceberg is 1,668 square miles, measuring 106 miles long and 15 miles wide. ...

I see nothing funny here. I used to collect carts from a parking lot for a living. If people weren't lazy, that job wouldn't exist. What gets me is when people leave their carts at the side or back of the cart corral. Like, what's the point of that? They have just enough energy to push their cart to the general area of where it belongs, but to push it to the correct end and into the corral? No, that's too much.
But that's not the worst a customer can do. Do you know how many times I've found a cold or frozen item left on a random shelf? Chicken left with the paper towels, ice cream with the sodas at the front (ice cream melts in refrigerators, people...). They pick it up, and a few minutes later decide they don't want it anymore. But aaaaaah, the frozen section is so faaaaaaar awaaaaaay. Better just leave it here and not tell anybody... Once I stop looking at it, it doesn't exist anymore.

I hate when they write out the problems this way. I know there's an order of operations, but why leave things to interpretation? This should say: (2 + 2) x 4, unless the point is specifically to test one's knowledge of the order of operations. But even then, it'd be wrong, because you multiply before you add.

QuoteThis should say: (2 + 2) x 4, unless the point is specifically to test one's knowledge of the order of operations. But even then, it'd be wrong, because you multiply before you add.
Normally, you multiply before you add, but parentheses take precedence over everything else. So in that example, addition is indeed the very first thing you'd be doing.

I'm assuming that because 10 wasn't an available answer, it wasn't intended that one multiply first.

There is a reason for the order. If you consider fractions as numbers...take for example the approximation of pi of 22 divided by 7. If I wanted to add 1 to 22/7, we simply have
22/7 + 1 which is not the same as 22 divided by 8. No need for (22/7)+1

Yep. So many people around here who don't know that force equals mass times acceleration, what the irrational number PI represents, or can even explain the basics of evolutionary theory who are 'fixin-to-learn-me' all about 'science'. I will typically ask them the most basic of science questions and when they display near zero knowledge I can then ask them why they are attempting to school me or convince me of anything.
Go learn something and then we can talk. WTF. The arrogance of the ignorant is astounding; including the 20 something nieces and nephews in my own family. What the hell were they being taught in school? Why are they so self-confident in their fucked up beliefs? Thousands of years of incredible struggle to uncover truth is just summarily dismissed and disrespected in favor of whack-job misinformation.
Most of my cousins are homeschooled, to avoid contamination by science.

They just don't think "gender reveal" is important. It's actually just an excuse to have another party. If I wanted to go down a particular road I would add "and why are people locking children into a particular gender without considering what the child wants/needs/desires?"

Sudokus, crosswords for people who can't spell.

Sudokus, crosswords for people who can't spell.
I was doing them when they were still called Number Place in the old Dell math puzzle books. Besides, Kakuro (formerly Cross Sums) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakuro) is crosswords for people who can't spell.
Killer Sudoku (aka sum doku) is where it's at. It's like a regular soduku puzzle with the normal nine 3x3 blocks, but overlaid on that there are also irregular blocks with a given sum total.
Since numbers can't repeat, some irregular blocks are easy to solve. For example, a 2x1 block with a sum of 3 has to have a 1 and a 2; there are no other options. Same with a 2x1 block with a sum of 17. Can't be anything but an 8 and a 9. From there, you just apply normal sudoku logic to figure out where exactly those numbers are.

Yeah, Goodrum got it right. For Columbus, throw in spices (which turns into gold) and souls. Apparently he considered himself sort of a Jesus figure and wanted to gather souls for the church. And remember, the catholic church split the world into two parts so the Portuguese and Spanish would not have to fight each other and the church would end up getting more.

It's a gray area. As long as you're not getting someone drunk to make them do something they wouldn't do sober, or take advantage of them once you realize they're wasted. If you are both in a sexual relationship, you both get drunk, and you both consent (as much as one can consent when under the influence), there's no problem with that.
Nobody should have sex with anyone if they are wasted. I don't know what you are getting from 'wasted' and 'drunk', what it was like back in 70s-80s or even 90s being completely irrelevant, esp. if the person's behaviour visibly change after some alcohol intake, stay away from them. There is no good ending to that. Long story short the best thing is not to fuck wasted. I mean wasted. Wasted.
Gawd, thinking that in the US, the 21+ old kids have no experience with alcohol let alone being drunk is drawing a nightmare for me. That's stupid. Think about colleges,lol. Don't do this, don't do that, you can't have a drop of alcohol with your own home with your parents, sexually repressed culture...blah blah AND then baam *whistle blows Drink and fuck! Go!
I had my first drink when I was fourteen, c. 1965. Pretty much everybody in my class had at least experiment. I knew who to reach out to for a pick-me-up between classes. (Some kids specialized in raiding the liquor cabinet.)

Bah…..been a while sweetie? Lots of women love drunk sex as well. Unleash the primal urge….that crude nasty shit you aren’t allowed to do while completely sober. Not that you’re not allowed but won’t allow yourself to do because it’s viewed by your momma as disgusting…..until you get drunk…then rip that shit off, roll me over, oil it up and have at it……lololol…some women say they never had a dick in their mouth, but they will willingly drink enough to get a bit wasty so they can suck and fuck like a class a hooker. Y’all can pretend your sober morality is all that, but there’s a reason alcohol is so popular…and it’s not cause you get to drive in the ditches.

aitm, I didn't write anything remotely related to the ways people love to have sex. I didn't write anything specific about women. They are irrelevant. (Also, there are places where having sex with someone drunk considered as rape because drunk people accepted as cannot consent. )The idea is simple, if someone is drunk do not attempt to sleep with them. And this is easy to recognise. I tried to make it clear with repeating the word 'wasted' because almost everyone knows the line. But people do it anyway because --wait for it-- because they are often wasted.
Yes, many people who drink the first time at 21+ have no idea where to stop but they drink anyway. They drink and have sex anyway. People know this, but drink, get drunk and have sex anyway. Pick one. Black outs, inebriated sex create serious trouble; rape accusations, regret...etc in the morning. For any reason. Some women don't remember anything so think they were raped, some think how the fuck did I have sex with that guy or insert some stuff. Also, you don't need to know yourself just to give consent, you also need to be to take consent too. And contrary to the common belief men do similar things too according to my observation. It's just 'men don't get raped by women' stupidty and their position being different in human culture, so the consequences are different. It's not about being right. It is all about their judgement being compromised when wasted.
Long story short, forget this or that bit, don't fuck wasted people. Don't fuck wasted.
When I was in the Navy I met any number of gals who liked drunk sex. Sometimes this caused complications, especially if they were sharing a room in the barracks with a female who had different ideas about fun.
I simply said there are women who enjoy drunk sex. You guys go from that to fucking wasted shitting themselves in the bushes after stumbling out the door. Sheesh. Just because their women doesn’t mean they don’t what the hell they are doing.

Oh stop being ridiculous, nobody thinks that. Everyone gets what you are saying. There is a language barrier between you and your culture's new generation(s), -esp. with men- but most importantly, they are far more cautious about interacting with people in this context than yours, and
with very good reasons. It seems to me that you are missing the last part.
I know you think that 'this stuff doesn't change'. Yeah well, not the stuff but the form of behaviour used with it changes, and it did. Is it bad, good, ridiculous, pathetic? I'm not discussing that.
So nobody's treating you as a rapist, everyone gets what you mean. It's just not a good period in history to act on a whim with some commonplace idea of what people like to do in this very subject. That's all. Safety first, you know? It's not worth to ruin your life and today, this can happen.
Kinda funny actually. Yesterday I had a birthday brunch with some old friends among them 5 women from 45 to 70,…3 black 2 white, one of them was a previous hook up from 35 years ago, but we have remained steadfast friends and know each other darkest secrets. One of the black gals works for a ministry outreach.
Anyhoo, in the mix of Bloody Mary’s and bottomless mimosas, I mentioned in brief this discussion and they all laughed. To a person they all said almost in unison, “ but, drunk sex is the best!†I nodded and laughed…..

One more stupid thing about that movie.
Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on July 21, 2021, 02:15:38 PMOne more stupid thing about that movie.
I loved everything about that movie and I will challenge anyone to a knife-throwing fight who says otherwise. Would you like to know more?
1) Pure camp interspersed with romantic melodrama and intense body horror
2) fascist propaganda presented with a wink (subversive!)
3) some of the best one-liners and slogans I've ever seen in a movie, with real staying power decades later
4) cool creature designs, legitimately fearsome
5) the most progressive shower scene I've ever seen - and repeatedly paused - in my life. In the 90s, other shows and movies really worried about fundies coming down hard on them for even the slightest digression from puritanical standards. Well, Starship Troopers literally went balls out and had the actors lather each other down. And there wasn't even any sexual undertones, so I think that on a technical level, it was actually a pretty wholesome scene
6) Doogie Howser, 2LT
They should have used a different name then.
When the movie preview hit the screens the first scene was a horde of insectile critters charging at the camera. I immediately said "Starship Troopers". I couldn't have been more wrong.

In NC, it is incredibly common to hear words with shortened pronunciation or blurred together, so "more or less" really does sound like "mor'rless"
had a = hadda
butter = buddr
cookie = kuki (I swear, there's a definite U sound for that around here)
getting ready to = finna
hurricane = hurikan
governor = guhvanur
camouflage = camuhflagh
Basically, the "uh" sound is waay more common locally than it would be in formal english.

Being related to hundreds of these idiots* helps me decode what they're saying. In this case it's the lazy factor. "Christians against the belief in dinosaurs" is just too long to go on a bumper sticker.

Is 10,000 accurate? Let's wrestle with the raw data, but be gentle! :P
Richard equation (not to be confused with the Drake equation)
7.8 billion people live in the world
About 8-10% tune into the Olympics (780 million, generous estimate)
About 1/2 of the world is male (390 million)
About 70% of those males are tenderizing age (273 million)
10% (or more) actually do the deed (27.3 million, conservative estimate)
+
Mytilene equation
About 1/2 of the world is female (390 million)
About 5% are lgbt (19.5 million)
About 70% are old enough to paddle the canoe (13.65 million)
About 10% do the deed (1.36 million)
So, best guess: roughly 28.5 million?

I think I read the same article, with it also informing us that a smelted gold metal would go for about $800, the silver about $450 and the bronze about $5. But rather than smelting them, I think an auction would net them much, much more. An 1896 gold metal recently auctioned for $286,000.

At this point I'm not convinced that a good 25% of the population wouldn't plow on ahead strictly out of "principle".
When it floods where I live, due to tropic storms or hurricanes, there are always people who die because of it. Most of the time, it's because they decided to ignore warnings and drive straight into deep waters. People are stupid.

To be fair, the reason that warning exists is because people in the past did that and sued (not necessarily the same people)
And technology has advanced to the point where it's no longer necessary to manually adjust most stuff.

Loads of trebuchets in Age of Empires II. Love/hate here.
I know it's cool in video games and movies to see a huge number of siege engines absolutely leveling part of a castle in like 30 seconds, but the reality is that there were 1-3 tops and they mostly just gave besieging archers a platform to rain arrows down on defending archers and/or punched small breaches in the walls.
Ramps, sappers and/or good old fashioned disease/starvation are the unsung heroes here.

The Mongols famously did that once. Not sure if anyone else tried it. Probably did it in less exotic ways, like poisoning the wells or deliberately herding sick livestock/people towards the castle.

For me this would be the equivalent of driving to Atlanta and back. I would
not drive to Atlanta for fish and chips. I've been know to drive to Atlanta for a special event like a concert, sporting event, or more recently an 80th birthday party for an uncle. I might even plan on a special meal while there, but a trip just for dinner? That's a big nope.
Travel for dinner? Nope. I mean, McDonald's is as good in Merced as it is in San Francisco. Don't ya think???
I wish I could just walk to places, but that picture is pretty accurate. Basically everything is half an hour away. Can't walk anywhere.
For me, 20-30 min is a trivial, routine trip. 45-60 is uncommon, but doable. And 60+ is a long trip.
Furthest I would drive just to eat is probably Houston, about a 2 hour drive. 45-60 min each way is pretty much a daily for me when I was working.

Going by car would be faster, but it would cost gasoline, a parking spot and give me a lot more stress.

If I don't wait for a bus -you often don't- it takes around 50 mins to go to downtown for me. Bus + Subway or Tram...And also for another downtown at the other side we have ferries and that could push the journey a little.

Does this^ have anything to do with Polka? E: (I googled,lol.) I swear he is doing on purpose, lol.
No idea how you got polka out of that.
I'll explain since I doubt this joke gets much use internationally.
In the US, a very common setup-punchline joke/insult is to get someone to say or even just be led to think about "deez". That's the setup phase.
Then, the punchline is to say "deez (these) nuts (testicles)" while grabbing or pointing towards one's crotch. Finger guns and/or "gottem" are both acceptable aftermath actions.

Apparently, there is a family band called The Polka- Nuts. The first time I googled I saw their albums. I have no idea. I don't remember what I typed, lol. Cds Nuts probably.

Lol, are those literally translated dutch proverbs?
I don't know the upper left one, but translated literally the other two become 'Wat moet, dat moet.' and 'Nu, boter bij de vis(sen)."
Which are Dutch proverbs
Here is another one. "From that farmer no eggs."
"You hit the nail on the head."
"When the cat has left the house, the mice dance on the table."
"The monkey comes out of the sleeve."
"The bullet is through the church."
"Eight is more than a thousand." (Impossible to translate properly.)

For example, Greek culture is an Eastern culture. Russia created a Renaissance culture to transform itself. So it has nothing to with geography, lol.

Given the time span over which dinosaurs roamed the earth, pretty much every molecule of water we drink may have been in contact with dinosaur poo. Further, given where we get most of our water in the US today, there is every chance that fish have done their business in it. Then again, many of us drink yeast excrement in one form or another. Funny world!

True. If one has enough money one can buy results. I call it the legal system, as justice is relatively rarely seen. I think that it's pretty disgusting, really, but I don't have a lot of money, so my position is understandable. I'll admit that I have enough that I have attorneys on retainer to avoid losing what I do have. It's actually not all that expensive- it's like a legal HMO. NB: I am NOT shilling for any company, and many companies may provide this service, but I don't know about them. If anyone cares to ask, I will respond. I am not a salesperson.

None of what I said was meant to apply or appeal to anyone but me. Art, like beauty, is a personal thing. What you may consider art I may consider trash. I realize that. Same with food--that is the best stuff I have ever tasted!!--and I spit it out. And visa versa. When in an art museum, (like the Smithsonian or Louvre--yes, I've been to both), I may tell someone that I really love or hate a piece, but I do not put anyone down for what they like or don't like. There is no explaining 'taste' in anything; I can't even tell you why I have whatever taste I do have. I simply do not like anything I've seen Picasso do that I like. You may love all of it, and that is okay with me.
There is some logic to it - a trash bin wouldn't be mistaken for art (probably). So there's a very fuzzy boundary between art and non-art. And like food, I delight in some stuff that others might turn their nose down on, and then there's stuff that's hugely popular that I can't for the life of me understand the appeal. Like chipmunk stuffed in quail stuffed in bengal tiger smothered in organic catsup bizarre.

Pollock is bollocks. He's a parody of an artist.
Art has very little to do with individual tastes or opinions. I didn't react because I 'love' Picasso, and 'oh my god how much art' it is. It's part of art history, and a huge net of culture, not what we call art today. I react to this because it is willfully ignorant and dumb to look at this -please note that it's 'this', not 'his'- as '5 year old's painting'. In any case, it's a good or a bad show -depends on how you look at it- about lack of historical perspective. Anyway, It's not about liking Picasso or Warhol. (Gawd, it is two places worlds away.) Cubism is about industrial revolution, abstract thought, unprecedented change in that time it affected everything from literature to music. Abstract thought. Are you aware what is about to arrive? Hint, his first name is Albert. Or 50 years later, in case of the famous soup can, it is about mass production and consumerism, even 'art's death'. Esp. the soup can is a bit like the pigeon and the board thing of the artworld.
Yeah, it looks like a world of its own, and I get that we take ourselves too seriously, think we are free from and above all that bullshit, but unfortunately we are not. Because the world; history, culture...do not work the way altright morons of the world think it does. Humanities, social sciences are not some pile of nonsense blah blah and blah blah we should remove. If we could do that, it would be the man in the high castle over a night.
So yeah, it is willfully ignorant to call Picasso's work '3 year old child's work' (putting the original version). And also it is not an expression of an opinion or a taste, it is a learned line because Picasso himself has said that it took blah years for him to learn to paint/draw like a 3 year old. Because he is perfectly able to draw or paint in traditional terms, or like 'artists'. Don't remember the details how/when/why he said that. He didn't talk much. But the point is, it is a learned reaction. And please remember there has been tons of negative propaganda about this man in for a long time in the states. Is that wrong? Because it always feels like there is a special case with him.
Rockwell on the other hand, just learned to illustrate, but they called him an artist out of charity. :lol:

There is some logic to it - a trash bin wouldn't be mistaken for art (probably). So there's a very fuzzy boundary between art and non-art. And like food, I delight in some stuff that others might turn their nose down on, and then there's stuff that's hugely popular that I can't for the life of me understand the appeal. Like chipmunk stuffed in quail stuffed in bengal tiger smothered in organic catsup bizarre.
I don't know about the food, but you'd make a decent art connoisseur. :lol: I swear, I'm saying that lovingly.
I could, but I think I'd have to dial up my arrogance and elitism to hitherto undreamt of levels, like that art critic in Candyman. :P
But in seriousness, here's the kind of art I go for:
1) realistic/semi-relatistic human anatomy (at least somewhat naturalistic, though I can make exceptions for especially vivid works)
2) colors!
3) conveys an emotion
That's what I'm looking for. That's why I like Mona Lisa and Starry Night and The Scream and that's why I don't like almost anything Picasso has put out. Because I have no clue what he's going for, so whatever he was trying to convey is lost on me. Like speaking Chinese, I'm sure someone understands, but it ain't me. Yes, he's a part of history. But everything's a part of history. So that alone doesn't mean much to me.
Shoe, I understand you love history, as do I, but your interest is probably more diverse than my interest in it. As Hydra says, everything is history. And art is a very important segment of world history even before there was 'history'. Art is an important part of a societies or groups zeitgeist--and an individual's thoughts and his/her self expression. But when you say: "Art has very little to do with individual tastes or opinions." I disagree. As an art and art history critic, I fully understand why you would say that. But, yes, I am fully aware of my willful ignorance in the area of art history; and I don't expect I will do anything about it, either. At my age I focus on what interests me (I am willfully ignorant of much much more than just art but I will not remedy that except in a few small areas.) I am not an art critic nor act like one even among friends. I love art, but I love a piece, hate a piece or most often fall in the middle. In Picasso's case, a few I hate and the rest is simply 'art', and don't feel strongly one way or the other. It is obvious that he was an important artist but I don't care enough to dig into his history or where he fits into the puzzle of art history. My love of art is intensely personal in that I know what I like or dislike and I can often explain to myself why. Two of my most pleasurable days was spent in the Smithsonian art gallery and the Louvre. I appreciated all the art (not just the paintings), hated some and loved some. For me art is what rings a bell in me and is very much like 'fine' wine or food. My wife is an excellent cook and enjoys using spices and combo's of spices, many of which I've not heard of. I enjoy her cooking--but sometimes I simply want a bowl of beans and I'll add the salt myself.

When I said history, I didn't mean something that general, lol. Yeah I get it. But trust me it is not that alien, nowhere near difficult (I know you didn't think you think that way) and don't be surprised if you like it when you are sixty. :D It's pretty enjoyable.

OK. I get it. :lol: I didn't mean you -or anyone- should 'learn' about it. But you know what, this is getting interesting. Do you really have a hate relationship with a few art pieces or you just remember those pieces when somebody says Picasso? I'm curious.
Traditional art history is a stillborn discipline. It's run its course as far as it can. But you know what's so amazing about it beyond all? It puts you on the map with everything history wise.

Hate may be too strong a word, for everybody has their own tastes in art. But Picassso's works like Dog looks childish and unfinished. I think Picasso could have drawn a straight line on a white piece of paper and sold it. On the other had, Don Quixote by him is as close as I can get to liking a work of his. An artist whose works I usually like, is Thomas Cole. And I particularly like his series Journey of Life. Yes, I know he is Christian but I interpret the symbols in those painting my own way. And I have great fun with the works of Dali and Escher.

"A recently discovered 1,300-foot-wide (400 meters) asteroid that passed near Earth last month could pay the planet another close visit in 2032. But, NASA officials say there is nothing to fear, as the odds that the space rock will hit Earth are extremely slim."

You're referring to 2013 TV135 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_TV135), of course. Next flyby: August 26th, 2032. Like many near-Earth asteroids, its trajectory has been refined as more data comes in. Very unlikely, as in ~1 in 63,000 chance. I wish the media would quote that part and not "Gov says nothing to fear" because I know (and likely they know) that this sort of dismissal only increases fear.
2013 TV135 has a Torino scale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_scale) of 1. Currently, nothing is rated above a 4. Apophis is the current record-holder at 4, and even that has basically no chance of hitting Earth in 100 years.
Though don't get too comfy, there's likely a lot of near-Earth asteroids that we don't know about and we don't get too much advance warning or have much in place should a big one come right for us. If you really want to clench your butt muscles, you can always check out the list of close approaches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_asteroid_close_approaches_to_Earth) and note their sizes. Lotsa close calls. (for reference, low Earth orbit extends out to around 2,000 km, so stuff clocking in at ~9,000 km is SUPER close)
edit - I'm not joking about SUPER close. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/1/19/PIA24037-Asteroid2020QG-20200818.webm/PIA24037-Asteroid2020QG-20200818.webm.480p.vp9.webm)

I have no idea how he was not immediately dismissed from the court for that; "Do not point you gun at anyone" is literally the most basic and fundamental rule of gun safety... right next to don't keep your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. He is doing both of those while having not checked the gun himself and with the bolt closed and ready to fire.

I don't think that was the rifle Kyle used, his had a EOTech or some knockoff on it.
Now that you mention that though, I wonder where the lawyer got the rifle from; did the state loan it to him? Is it Kyle's gun, but with the scope and iirc flashlight removed? Does he have a friend who owns an Ar as well and decided to lend it to him so he could point it at the jury?
Now I just have more questions...
I see the case much like a 'felony' murder case. He was a minor when he 'defended' himself. He should not have had a gun of any kind. If he had been unarmed as the law demands, then none of this would have happened. But since when does the right have to follow any laws?????

Wisconsin law allows minors to carry rifles; obviously this is intended for hunting and not self-defense, but it doesn't specify this so from a legal standpoint... he legally did nothing wrong by having the gun and that's why the gun possession charge has been dismissed.
Obviously not stating that's "right", but it is the law.
Mostly funny to me because I feel really attacked.

In this situation, the law probably wasn't actually intended to allow him to carry it where he did ... it just didn't prohibit it either.

Oh my god. That's one of the few most stupid things I have ever read in my life. (It has nothing to do with you obviously, you summarised it good.)
And here is a question. I don't know anything about fire arms, but that's not a hunting weapon, is it? It looks like an assault weapon to me, but all of the big ones look like that to me. I just know shotgun is different.

I only know it for target shooting, but from what I've seen hunters do like it because it is both really ergonomic and easy to customize (as well as accurate around 500 meters). The round is relatively small and the rifle is pretty cheap as well, so there is no reason you couldn't use it for hunting.
Is it overkill? Yeah, probably. My guess is anyone who has one for hunting also got it for the "cool" factor and to go target shooting as well, not just to hunt.

Doesn't look quite as threatening to most people, but the internal mechanics are exactly the same as the ar-15 for all intents and purposes, and fires the same round. But you don't see people calling for it to be banned because they don't realise it's just as dangerous of weapon.
That's not to prove, disprove anything... just an observation I've had that thinking about assault weapons remind me of.

I am NOT a firearms guy. I don't own one and I never have. That is mainly because of the stats about how many owners or their family or friends get killed by them every year. I don't think we need the huge number of guns of all sizes in our society. And we don't need judges telling us we can carry concealed weapons, either.
That being said, I have always loved rifles. I owned one as a kid, a .22 rifle and have tons of fun with it. In the Army my favorite rifle was the one I was given in basic--an M14. Yes, that long ago. :) But it was durable, could throw it in the mud then pick it up and fire it. It did have a kick (fired a 3.06 cartridge--a fav of hunters, I think), but when one got used to it, was very accurate. I could hit pop up targets from 500 yards out and fired it at the 'expert' level (and earned that badge for my uniform with it.) When later joined the CA National Guard, I was issued an M16. I liked firing that as well and also earned the expert badge with it. Also earned expert with the pistol I was issued in the regular Army--a stubbed nosed police pistol. While in the active Army reserve in Oakland, CA (6 years) I fired several weapons just to become familiar with them; .45 Army pistol, Browning submachine gun, combat shotgun, Army carbine, a .50 cal mounted machinegun and several type of grenades. I do love firing rifles.
But I do not see the need for one in my home. And I do not see the need of anybody owning large capacity clips or fully automatic weapons.

I changed my mind on Brexit, I just wish they were leaving earth instead of the EU.
We inherited some WW2 bolt rifles and after a just few shots at the range my shoulder was finished for the day. I am very good with a rifle at 50 yards. At 20 yards I can hit a 2 liter bottle with my bow all day long. I have some arrows still stuck in trees around here, that was stupid. We recently found one of my arrows from 5 years ago, LOL. I was working on some tricks last week...double shots and some speed shooting.
I have a .22 Carbine with a bit of work done to it (trigger job, thumbhole stock for my arthritic old hands). These targets are representative, shot at 50 feet. The center (white) spot is .22". Two shots per bull. I know people who shoot one shot per bull because they sometimes shoot through the same hole, making the target hard to score. Some of them can do it at 50 yards, but their guns are way more expensive than mine.

Thought I'd like archery--this was several decades ago, tho. Kept hitting my wrist with the bow string--got a little bloody and figured that was the universe's way of showing me I was not cut out to be an archer. Same with the cornet. In 5th grade joined the little band the music teacher had and selected the cornet. After about 3 months, the music teacher told my parents that he thought it would be best that I not take up music. Archery and music, two of my failures in life. :)
From what I remember, I liked archery... wasn't great at it though, and that was probably 15 years ago.

Why not? There is supposed to be about 650,000 legally owned machineguns in the US. It has been 87 years since machineguns became heavily regulated in the US, and a legally owned machinegun has never been used in a mass shooting by a civilian during that time. There have only been 3 verified and maybe a 4th instance of a legally owned machinegun being used to commit murder since 1934. Of the 3 verified cases one was a police officer that used a privately owned MAC-11 to kill an informant. Another police officer killed some of his neighbors with a department issued weapon. i.e. not privately owned. The third was a soldier that used his issued M4. NOt privately owned again. Of the 3 only 1 was privately owned and the perp in that case was a cop. The forth case was a doctor, i.e. civilian, but apparently no one knows if he actually used a machinegun or not. That whole story was based on a report that he "registered" the weapon that was used when he bought it. The problem with that is you have to register a machinegun before you buy it and wait months for the FBI/AFT to conduct background checks.
So there has maybe been 2 times in 87 years that someone used a privately owned machinegun to commit murder and in one of those instances the perp was not a civilian. The laws restricting ownership of machineguns in the US seem to be working just fine.

I still don't think anybody needs a fully automatic weapon. Did not mention machineguns. I was thinking of assault ​rifles. What would anybody need a banana clip or any large clip for an assault rifle? Combat soldiers would, but who else?
It's not really an issue of need though; if you want one & don't have a criminal record, it really should not be any of the government's business.

They don't care if you buy a car, they only care about how you use it.
Even then the government is only concerned about how you use that car on their property; there is nothing stopping you from buying a 60 HP shitbox or a 1200 HP supercar, having it delivered to your property, and driving it to your heart's content at any speed on your private property (hell, you could even be drunk) without a license, it's just when you take it on public property that they regulate you.

Fully automatic firearms are called machine guns, generally. Assault rifles are semi-automatic, meaning that they will only fire one round with a squeeze of the trigger, and will not fire another round until the trigger is squeezed again (and do not require a manual bolt to cycle the spent round out of the chamber and the new round in). The difference between "assault rifles" and "hunting rifles" is vanishingly small. I will agree with you that
in general, no civilian
needs a large magazine.

I did a research paper in a grad-level statistics class that asserted it was more likely that a gun owner would shoot themselves or family than successfully defend the home against break-ins. I had a section that discussed all the different classifications of firearms and I recall that some M16s have a three shot burst instead of the full auto machine gun mode. So you have to keep re-depressing the trigger to empty the magazine unlike a one press, full automatic gun. The term 'assault rifle' has become useless as a defining term for the average non-gun person. I got an 'A' even though the professor told me he was a gun guy, LOL. If I recall correctly there are more guns in safes (I hope), closets and under beds than there are people in this country and that was a while ago. And half of these people are more stupid than the average, LOL.

Honestly, yes.
Like a car, if someone is taking a gun to public property then I think it's 100% reasonable to have regulations on that, but if someone wants to buy a fully automatic grenade launcher, so long as he is using it on his or a consenting owner's private property then, so long as he meets the background checks, he should be free to use it.

Any firearm that fires more than one time with a single operation of the trigger is by definition under US law a machinegun.

The original definition of assault rifle was, "An assault rifle is a
selective fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine." The term was adopted first by the media then by the general public to include their semiautomatic clones marketed to civilians. So no, assault rifles are not semiautomatic, but the term has been applied to semiautomatic scary looking guns.

Cars put off toxic gas during use, regardless of who's property it is on, that affect all of us... so I agree with regulations over that. I also think they need to have safety regulations so the company doesn't intentionally cheap out on a put people's lives at risk.
But the regulations on what guns you can buy, to compare to guns, would be like the government telling you the only cars you can buy are capped out a 30mph and covered in bubble wrap because other people find cars scary.
Pointing out that they're...a bit concerned...without specifying why (the 19-ton purple elephant in the room) runs dangerously close to dishonestly asserting that they're concerned for no reason. Was that an intentional oversight?
They are concerned that it will be use for nefarious purposes; that's a perfectly valid concern, but in regards to assault rifles it's an unfounded one; over the last 5 year, less than 500 people are killed with one every year.
Do you think the cause of concern is the <500 killed/year or the approx 14,000 killed/year?

Ahh, okay.
If you take a look at a graph of gun violence by state, and a graph of states by poverty level, you will see essentially the same graph. In terms of gun homicide rates, African-Americans are 15 times more likely to be involved in a gun homicide than whites, presumably because of their tendency to have been forced into poor socio-economic neighborhoods and lives. A large percentage of homicide by gun is carried out by gangs, not your average, law-abiding citizen.
The states with the highest gun-ownership also trend in the upper-half of lowest gun deaths; Arkansas, Missouri, and Alabama are the exceptions to the rule, but they are also 3 of the most impoverished states, particularly for African-Americans who make up a large percentage of the population.
To me that indicates that the fundamental problem is poverty and low socio-economic living standards. Take the guns away, and they just find new ways to kill one another; provide a better standard of living, and they stop the violence all together.
To me solving the problem is a better choice than taking away innocent people's rights for a band-aide fix.
OK. Thanks, Shir.

Poverty is indeed part of the problem, but not the whole of it. Problems can have more than one cause, obviously.
By and large, poverty and gun violence are correlated among countries, but there are exceptions. The US is certainly unusual in that it ranks fairly high in gun homicide rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate) (17th, more akin to South American countries than Western Europe or Canada) but somewhat low in poverty rate (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/poverty-rate-by-country) (106th). Could another factor be at work here?
Blaming it all on poverty - which sounds convincing, so no doubt some may find it convincing for this reason alone and not think about it too much - conveniently ignores the ease of access of firearms and comparatively little oversight (as I subtly pointed out earlier, there is a national registry required for car owners, but to my knowledge, no such registry exists for gun buyers)
If you would like me to accept that people would kill each other anyway and that gun policy has nothing to do with homicide rate (a stance the gun lobby has certainly invested large sums of money in, since such a mentality absolves them in any deaths and doesn't threaten arms sales), I would very much like to hear your thoughts on Australia's experience with the same problem:
QuoteIn April 1996, 35 people were killed in Port Arthur, Tasmania, by a gunman using militaryâ€style semiâ€automatic rifles. Within 12 days, the Australian government and all state and territory governments agreed to a new national gun law standard and to initiate a mandatory buyback of newly prohibited firearms. Within a year, 659 940 semiâ€automatic rifles and shotguns had been purchased and destroyed. Between 1996 and 2015, at least one million privately owned firearms â€" oneâ€third of the estimated national total â€" were seized or surrendered, and decommissioned.
The Australian policy response was followed by a decline in the number of gunâ€related deaths, from a mean rate of 3.6 per 100 000 population during 1979â€"1996 to 1.2 per 100 000 during 1997â€"2013

In this scenario, do you think the homicide rate stayed the same from year to year, since people would "just find new ways to kill one another"? Let's find out.

I've shared the data on what I'm about to say on this forum before so I'm not going to bother with digging it up and doing it again, but there is an important piece to this that you are missing.
In the 20ish year period after Port Arthur homicide rates in the US declined as fast as they did in Australia. This happened during a period when gun laws were become less not more restrictive in the US so there obviously something more at play here than just the availability of guns. The other thing to keep in mind is during that period the one demographic that bucked the trend, keeping US homicide rates in the US from falling even further, was inner city young black males. A demographic that makes up less than 3% of the US population but accounts for about 40ish% of all gun homicides here.
QuoteIf you would like me to accept that people would kill each other anyway and that gun policy has nothing to do with homicide rate (a stance the gun lobby has certainly invested large sums of money in, since such a mentality absolves them in any deaths and doesn't threaten arms sales), I would very much like to hear your thoughts on Australia's experience with the same problem:
I'm not saying it doesn't have anything to do with homicide rate, I'm say that it doesn't have enough to do with homicide rate to warrant taking away people's rights.

That's how I drink any and all beer. :)) I have tasted beer from around this country, in central Europe and Sweden. All taste like elephant piss. If I want to get plastered I drink straight Southern Comfort or bourbon. But I haven't done that for over 30 years. I settle for a glass or two of wine these days.
That's beer? I thought it was a drink like coca cola.

The hot sauce part sounds interesting, never had anything like that. I'm very unimaginative about cocktails. I think they have already invented the best thing when they have made Bloody Mary, lol. I'm not good with sweet. Esp. cold and wet sweet. I started to change a lot of stuff, I should expand and try new stuff.

Light beer is famously lower in flavor. The trade off is fewer calories, which if that's your goal, don't drink beer. Or soda pop for that matter.

Coors beer used to be sold exclusively west of the Mississippi river. I guess that gave it some cachet. I knew guys who would buy it and drive back east to drink and/or sell it. I've never enjoyed the flavor, but most of the guys I grew up with were all over it. I drank Budweiser, which isn't any better, just different. Coors Light is pretty much tasteless, like any other light beer. I see "craft" beers like 805 here in California, but they are another example of making love in a canoe- fucking close to water- and they cost stupid prices. If I'm just going to be slugging them down, I'll buy cheap beer. I'm back to Budweiser, but I don't slug them down. My FiL used to drink Schaeffer beer. Now, THAT was some
real shit. Back in the day, it was $3 for a 12-pack. It had a kind of sweet taste, I guess from the corn. I knew guys who were in frats at uni who used to pour it from the cans into pitchers at rushes, because it tasted similar to Henry Weinhard's. That stuff was shit, too, but it was triple the price!

Back in the day--okay, several days--in college most of my group would get Brown Derby. I think the stores paid people to pick it up. Yes, I was told it was horrid, but then to me all beer was/is horrid. After the first 3/4 all beer improves in taste, at least to me. So, the formula was to chug the first 3 and then the rest was easy. Don't know when Brown Derby went out of business--and no, I'd not drink it for old times sake. As I understand it, Primo was sort of the same in Hawaii. When I was in the Army there, I saw many pickup truck beds full of the stuff--drove up to the brewery in Honolulu and picked it up. Their motto was--Gonna suckem up da Primo!! I think that went out of business too.

Coors was also Wolverine's brand, although they usually "Frenched" the label showing only "Coo" or "oors" or "Beer" in a similar style to the logo.
Weirdly, I tried various brands when I got it into my head to brew my own, but didn't drink so had no idea what I wanted to make and found out original Coors was my favorite. "Oh good," I thought. "My brand is a plot device in a Burt Reynolds movie." Haven't had any since that time I bazooka barfed, though.

We can handle going to the moon no sweat, but hearing Al Roker say it might hit freezing temps tonight as the thermometer drops down to zero is just way too difficult. What even is the freezing temperature in metric? Probably something really weird. We have the completely logical number of 32 and that makes perfect sense to me!

(Actually, recently learned that there are a few parts of California where they speak with a deep south drawl still. During the Gold Rush a lot of Southerners moved West, created their own communities, and a few remained isolated enough that to this day the people there sound like they are from like the Carolinas, Georgia, Arkansas, etc. ...

LOL. I'm at the level now where I love it when my friend raises their freak flag high, but I'm not quite yet comfortable being like that around them. Getting there, though.
When I can get into that with someone, I'm very loyal to them.
I'm incredibly loyal to a handful of fellow weirdos at a time, pleasant and inoffensive around most, and an active annoyance to a handful of anti-weirdos (killjoys)

The original was meant for adults. It was a dry comedy from a different time. Which is what makes the 2016 reboot so... amazing? ....appalling? It should have been a funny comedy, at least. Maybe with a sense of humor updated to today. It didn't have that.
I could seriously spend thirty minutes analyzing the words "face bidet." I swear to god...

We all like it, but the original really wasn't a 'funny' comedy. We liked it because it wasn't done before and when it was done it was with those men, with that story and dry humor. They already had names.

It definitely had jokes LOL. And decent ones. Perfect blend of seriousness and snark.
I've used the "disaster of biblical proportions. human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together" joke pretty recently. Didn't land with Gen Z, unfortunately. I said it was from Ghostbusters and they thought I meant the 2016 one. :/
Of course it had. I loved those movies as a kid. I'm just saying the version with girls is not that bad. Don't you remember those days when the girl version was released? Masses of men and boys got organised to vote that movie down with a grudge. (I'm not putting you guys in there.) But honestly, when I watched it I was expecting something far worse back then.

You know... to be honest... I remember more that people just didn't like the movie, and for legitimate reasons but then getting called out for being sexist and womanhating pieces of shit. The defenders of the film not accepting that loads of people really did think it was a piece of garbage, not because it starred four women but because the film itself was bad and did the franchise no Justice.
In any case, I watched a part of it. Did not find it charming nor funny. Was not tempted to keep watching. It´s not ´the room´-bad or anything. It´s just... not much of anything. At least not for the 15 to 20 minutes I watched before turning it off.

Then you remember what happened at the very end. That's not a short story. That movie got so much backlash starting from the moment it was announced that the cast was full women, it became ridiculous. And the reason was, "It was made with male cast, how do you dare to change it to female cast". I mean think about the remakes made in general... That was the whole thing about it, that backlash. I'm sure a few people said: "myeh, bad, not for me". But that wasn't the reaction. Men and boys got organised in mass to give that backlash and honestly, this was expressed everywhere openly. That backlash transformed the the director's, producers' attitude. And after with that women called Anita Sarkeesian, a small group maybe watched it and nobody has even given it a chance.
But forget about that, if that much people had watched that movie, the box office would be recorded somewhere. Just Anita's
fans haters were most of the gamer sphere then, how many millions is that again? They have made her filthy rich. (I even remember posting an article about the amount of vote down and box office comparison to a member here. Though the conversation didn't take place in this forum.)
By the way,
I was a kid when Ghostbusters was made. Seriously, how do you even compare two movies you watched in completely different eras at completely different ages? They tried to make a very similar copy of it. What you feel is actually what an adult would think watching the old ones. You, me...all of us have seen far worse movies than that. So really, it is not about that movie being bad.
Also, the ridiculous cancel culture you suffer right now is a result of those massive backlashes (I mean not just this one) created by white male groups. I'm serious about this.
Is that normal? Massive backlash for a remake just because it is being made with full female cast. Yeah, that's the deal, but it sounds so stupid right now, doesn't it? Because now it's POST-TRUMP and then when it was before Trump, that kind of bullshit was OK. Men feel entitled to certain things as women do to others, but the thing is none of them actually are entitled to anything.
So yeah, it was/is sexist and hateful.

E: LOL, that's an honest question. I always thought that Western people found it funny because it's too foreign and awkward for them.
I dunno why other people liked it, but I love the wacky hijinks of a guy with antiquated beliefs and a very low familiarity with US culture. And the culture shock, both on his part and Americans he's talking to, is funny as hell. And of course, there's the not-so-subtle critique of American culture/politics. It works on several levels.
I dunno why so many people here don't have at least a passing familiarity with a movie that took the world by storm. You could literally live under a rock and still hear "my wiiiiife" for months on end. Yet I reference it here and it's like I'm talking about the battle of ten kings.

Never saw him either. If what he did was before October 2014, I'd have no idea. I was working, burning the candle at 4 ends. One can do that by breaking the candle in half and lighting the stubs. I retired in 2014, but I don't go to movies much (last time was when the new Robin Hood movie came out) or watch much TV.

The appeal of Borat is that he says some "outrageous" things and manages to get away with it under the guise of being a foreign. The really interesting parts are where he get these normal people to just talk frankly. Really eye-opening about American culture to get an outsider perspective and get people to admit to things that they probably wouldn't if they knew they were on camera, or at least on camera for a movie that would be seen in America.
Well, when I tried some of that nearly a decade ago in this forum, people weren't entertained at all. :think:
You know that when people from different countries talk about French or British people, they automatically agree without going in details? It's a bit like that with Americans, lol. But it is not funny anymore because, now you people know about most of that. It was until around 10 years ago. And believe it or not, that's progress. :rockout:

Try it at 69. I have arthritis in my back (and feet and hands). If I sleep long enough on my side, the sciatica acts up. If I wake up in pain, I have to carefully lay on my back and let the pinched parts relax. Then I can get out of bed without falling over, or gimping around in pain for the rest of the day. I used to be able to deadlift 325 pounds and bench 180. Not big weights, but not too bad. It was enough to lift a small block Chevy engine block, complete with pistons, crankshaft and camshaft off the ground and onto the bed of a truck, or to put an aluminum case transmission into a vehicle, laying on my back...in both cases, all by myself. Those days are gone, forever. :boohoo:

I visited an old childhood friend with my family. They hadn't had any kids by that time. The wife was excited and went up to the store and got crayons and a coloring book. She set him at the fireplace hearth, and pooh-poohed our caution about crayons on the brick. He was not quite 3, and yup, crayon on the brick. :doh: The guy had a high-end tube amplifier stereo with electret speakers, which were temporarily simply sitting on concrete blocks. Way expensive. My son was running all over the house. I lived in mortal fear that he was going to knock those speakers over. Stressful weekend. :lol:

Fun fact: the crash site is Point Nemo, a remote area in the south Pacific, chosen as a dumping site because it's as far away from land as possible.
Not so fun fact: Point Nemo is very close to the fictional (maybe) underwater city of R'lyeh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%27lyeh), where dread Cthulhu lies dreaming. And with strange aeons...

Maybe the whole point of dumping spacecraft there is because of the paucity of land which contains people. If the debris falls on Cthulu, may he rise to our doom! Though that will not be likely to happen. Apologies to H.P. Lovecraft.

The average person has neither the intellect nor the capacity to understand the math of sending a rocket into space. Not that it is necessary to understand the math, but to appreciate it. The average human does not even understand the speed of which the world spins…nor how it would effect the flight of a rocket much less the calculations being used because of it. My wife thinks that rockets are “diverted†east to secretly land in the Bermuda Triangle…….seriously. She was rather flummoxed that I could even present a reasonable point to it.

I think that says far more about them than it does the M&M :I.
Ah yes what could go wrong; the organization notorious for coming into places and killing your pets, shooting at and burning dozens of people alive, including kids (and now ran by someone involved in that), and who lost assault rifles it gave to Mexican cartels to attack Americans wants you to snitch on your ex. I'm sure no hateful ex would ever give them a false call and that they wouldn't act on it, potentially getting them, their family or their pets killed.
If it was a tossup between getting rid of the ATF or ICE/BP, I don't know which I would choose first imo; they are both so fundamentally opposite to my morals and philosophy that I don't think I see a single redeeming quality in either.

Yeah, the tensions seems to come from the fear that the other lot has it right and we're doin' it wrong. Civil wars are often the nastiest.

lol, no. A squabble is just an argument over a trivial matter. I assume aitm was just trying to figure out what they were arguing about. Probably something along the lines of dunking versus sprinkling or the Protestants called the Catholics idol worshippers.

Most cities have industrial parks, but they're usually several miles from commercial/residential zones. I'd have to rewatch T2, but afaik, they went from a mall to a smelter in a high-speed chase in an awfully short amount of time. Maybe they traveled far enough in that time, but probably not.

Don't know about the "factory", but the road was California 110, connecting the Port of Los Angeles with the 405 freeway. Drove it five days a week to get to LBNSY. The open grate bridge looked like a huge cheese grater when it was raining and you were on a motorcycle.

I just picked up a used 4k blu ray player last week. Shortly afterwards I ordered the LOTR UHD set, the Jurassic Park 5 movie set in UHD, and my current favorite movie Ready Player One. I fired it up last night and watched the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring. There is huge difference between streaming a 4k movie and watching the Blu Ray. The picture quality of the Blu Ray version is much better.
Next up is getting a UHD friendly Blu Ray drive for a PC so I can rip the disks to the NAS and stream them locally without all the network compression or the Blu Ray Player.

If you have the equipment to take advantage of UHD video and Dolby Atmos audio, UHD Blu-ray is the way to go. LOTR looks AMAZING. I have a small collection of my all-time favorite movies on UHD Blu-ray. There is a local bookstore that sells used Blu-rays and I have found some terrific deals.

My receiver does Dolby Atmos, but my speakers are setup in a traditional 5.1 arrangement. I really need to look into a set of up firing speakers so I can run a 5.1.2 setup.

Still, the idea that a meme could perhaps reach him, that he would see himself as a bunch of throbbing hard (and some soft) dicks... that brings a smile to my face.

Apparently, somebody has bought it for 377 dollars.
Joke's on whoever bought it. Buying an NFT is not like buying the Mona Lisa, but like buying the auction tag that was once on the Mona Lisa. Anyone can access that guy's soul and even consume it. The NFT doesn't get them anything.
Incidentally, have there been dick pics NFT's yet? You'd think that would have happened already.
Well, it's not like souls are any more tangible than blockchain "rights" to an image. They'd be better off buying a star or investing in Yahoo at this point lol.

I've been on both sides of that transaction. Sometimes, we have long days with a lot of crap on very little sleep and some elementary errors happen. Other times, the hiring manager forgot to make sure the new hire isn't a complete dumb. I had one person who worked register who literally could not handle money at all. I'm pretty sure that person has never handled cash money in their entire life. I mean, maybe in like 20 years or so we'll go almost entirely cashless (iBux from Applezon), but I wouldn't bet on it.
[Half-serious] Imo, all cashiers should be avid RTS gamers in their spare time. That should sort out any math deficiencies real quick.

Yeah, I have worked a register. The standard approach in the '70s was "$price out of $given" and so you would count up from $5.25 to $10.25 and of course you leave the given cash laying horizontal on top of the drawer until the buyer is happy with their change and leaves. This helps with the "I think I gave you a 20" bullshit. "No you didn't, here is what you gave me right here".

One of the first lessons the owner gave new employees was to do the $100 flim-flam where the customer wanted to start working the change angle. He told the kids (I was 27 when I started there, but I was a mechanic, working my way through uni towards a physics degree) to just shut the cash drawer when they started doing that, and tell them that they had their correct change. Our biggest losses came from guys simply pinching money from the till, in increments of $10. Once it started, the owner would have a memo everyone had to read and sign about not stealing money. Of course, typically an employee was planning on leaving anyway, and when they did leave, the "shortages" stopped.

I cooked in a restaurant where the dishwashers/bussers would often grab a case of steaks (or anything else they wanted) and take it out the back door along with the trash. Unfortunately retailers just have to expect internal losses if they don't have massive surveillance equipment/security. Even then, some will still get away with it. I met someone who told a story of a guy who returned a Marantz stereo box full of bricks for cash after buying it with a stolen card at a Burdines Dept. store. They literally stole it twice.

One of my sons work in retail. If it's below a dollar amount here in California, the police and the store won't prosecute. People just grab stuff and run out the door. People literally will walk in, get something off a shelf and walk over to the return desk, and they have to give that person a refund, even if they saw them take it. It's disgusting...and stupid.

A lot of religions have stuff like that, stuff that's intentionally difficult/inconvenient as a show of commitment. Fasting, days where you can't work, days where you can't eat certain things, etc.
Obviously, since people are ultimately calling the shots, people can uncall those shots as well. Need to drink some water? Then drink some water. No one's going to arrest you for that (I hope)
Slavish obedience to some bizarre set of rules lacking justification doesn't really benefit the person or society at large.

Time(s) change according to the cities in/and geographical regions. For example in Istanbul, they will get up around at 5 in the morning to eat today. That means they'll be fasting for 14 hours a day. They break it around 19:00. The fasting and breaking times move with minutes in a day too. As the days pass they break it a bit later, I guess. No,they can't drink water. People who take regular medicine, old people, kids...etc. are not supposed to fast. If you are not healthy and fit, you are not supposed to fast at all.
It also makes a lot of difference in which season it is, Ramadan moves in the year too. If it is winter, obviously it is much better because days are shorter.
I've tried it once. Just the fasting. It wasn't difficult, because I was 19 years old. If they drank water, it would be exactly like the fasting some fitness people do today. It's pretty much like it. I've joined a lot of breaking feast in my life though. NOW that. The food served in those feasts is fucking delicious. A lot of people invite non fasting people/family to them.
In every Ramadan, there are all kinds of shenaningans going on according to the place you live. There are places where all the restaurants/bars/pubs are closed, in some you can't even eat/drink water/smoke in the street walking. Or like the place I live, you can go on doing everything.

There are only 4 ways to prepare fish:
* baked
* grilled
* pan-fried
* breaded and fried
Microwave is a no-no. Imagine being a multi-millionaire and having the wealth to eat like a king every day and just nuking garbage like a frat pledge.
Microwave fish is nasty. Where I used to work, there were signs on the microwave ovens- "Do not cook fish in here!". That would just stink the place up.
Well, I don't use microwave, I've never had one. I hate that thing. Hence the "without the nuking part" in my post.
I just mean fish can be eaten raw, it is pretty delicious, and it's eaten by tons of people every day around the globe. So, no. there aren't just 4 ways to eat fish. It's also smoked, cooked on salt...etc.

Same. I like to get those King Oscar sardines as a tasty treat even though they're a bit pricey. I could forgo other meat if I could still eat fish and eggs. Just go full mediterranean diet.
I cooked some salmon for Christmas (no turkey for me! Je n'aime pas!) and my brother complained, saying that the salmon smelled fishy. Call me crazy, but fish is supposed to smell a little fishy, hence the name. I mean, if beef didn't smell beefy, that'd be a problem!
He mildly dislikes fish (chicken all day, every day) so his impression was more than a little sus and definitely an outlier. The fish was pretty fresh and tasty, so it's not like it was on the verge of being rotten or anything. I think I can safely chalk that one up to picky eater tendencies rather than an objective problem with the food.

I really, really should like fish. My grandmother and grandfather loved fish; both were directly from Sweden and grew up eating fish. My grandfather's idea of a snack was to pop open a jar of pickled herring and chowing down. And my mother could not get enough salmon; I did not fight her for any. I put fish into the liver-and-onions category, which is never.
We had a microwave fish fiasco at work a few years ago. At the time we worked in an open office with cubicles and the microwave was few feet from everyone's desks. A coworker, who is African-American, had a habit of heating fish head soup for lunch, which apparently smells bad (I work nights and have never experienced fish head soup). A coworker put an anonymous note on the microwave asking to be courteous and not microwave odoriferous items, and everyone on day shift knew this note was prompted by the fish head soup. The soup connoisseur took offense and went to HR claiming she was being discriminated against due to her African heritage. I heard about the situation because HR came to our staff meeting to lecture us on office etiquette and chastise us for eating at our desks. The irony was the coworker who posted the note had immigrated to the US from Nigeria four years earlier.

We used specialized, expensive and sophisticated thermal chambers to test our electronic designs. One engineer decided to heat up some smoked fish in the chamber. Fast forward eight years later...I swear I could still smell smoked fish every time I opened up that chamber.

Love onions, just not with liver---or fish. :) Of course I don't have to eat any particular thing. If I had my wish come true, I'd much rather like something than not. But no matter how I try, fish (and liver and ochra) my body does not tolerate. So, I substitute.

Same. Part of the holy trinity of food. Good source of antioxidants and sulfur. Good way to add flavor without adding salt or sugar. Perfect compliment to any meat, and not bad with most veggies. And I'd swear it helps make meat dishes easier on the digestive system.

Depends on the digestive system. My mom and several of her siblings are very sensitive to onions. Even a little bit of onion can cause them some serious digestive issues. I didn't get that gene, and I will happily pile sauteed onions and peppers on a brat, or put a few rings of raw onion on a burger, I often find the taste of onion to be overpowering in many dishes. Most of the time when I'm cooking and the recipe calls for onion I will cut the amount of onion called for in half or even a quarter so I can taste the other ingredients.
The last fish I ate was just finishing eating me. (c. 1972, somewhere in Southeast Asia.) The docs told me it was a good way to debride a wound in that situation. I responded with a comment about auto-cannibalism by proxy. One nurse barfed.

I love growing food plants that are indigenous to our climate and we always have a tray of microgreens going. In fact I just harvested a bouquet of dill and basil this morning.
The only ornamentals I grow are morning glory for their stunning beauty. Our "lawn" is really a field of wildflowers that we only mow after they seed. I am trying to propagate bamboo from a pile of cuttings found along the roadside. I would like to try making a percussive musical instrument from them if they take.
Seeds! We could plant a garden! If we rake and hoe and weed it all summer, we'll wind up with an armload of vegetables!

We like to do the same--grow plants that are indigenous to our area. I live in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley; one of the bread baskets of the world. It is rightly famous for it's produce. But we are now struggling a bit. The climate has changed so much in the last few years (getting hotter and for longer). Our tomatoes struggled the last two years (and there is not much better than vine ripened tomatoes!) and that has been our star crop. The basil (all 3/4 kinds we grow) and other herbs, such as thyme, parsley, oregano (3 kinds) and the like, have to be monitored daily to ensure they get enough shade. Rosemary still is a bumper crop. Last year the pole beans, zucchini and other squashes, struggled all summer (never had 2/3 weeks of 100 or more every day until last year) struggled all summer; when the 100 degree weather stopped in the fall, they took off and produced like champs. All the flowers flourished, especially the dahlias and zinnias. It is simply hit or miss anymore and this is for a huge agricultural area--farmers are going nuts!

Don't be so quick to the snide side. My family(when I was a kid) almost never bought veggies in the winter or spring. Think about that. We had a large garden..but small comparatively to some neighbors. maybe 60' x 40' a large backyard. But we got enough tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, peas, carrots, onions and some others to never have to buy during the winter spring months. Yeah, sure we had to work it, but I have a garden today, 3 in fact but small, not nearly enough to last even a month...but I don't grow to save money....I just love to piddle around and go out and pick fresh green beans and corn and a few tomatoes and a stalk of romaine lettuce..for dinner along with a small rib eye...it is a "living reality thing"....and teaching.....or rather showing the kid, her hubby and the grandkid how easy it is....not really free food...but give up "the kardashains" for an hour to piddle in a garden? That's teaching baby.

Love that. I only grow things that could live here wild anyways, so the work is minimal. We had a wild hot bird-pepper plant that lasted years with no care. One pepper in a pot was enough heat for me. I have a "supermarket" section where I plant things that would normally get discarded (or composted in our case) such as garlic and onion tops, pineapple tops, and sweet potato nubs. With zero care I can snip some onion or garlic greens at any time for dinner, and they just grow right back. My microgreens need about 5 minutes a day of effort but are a sure thing. Started indoors (no light blackout) for 3 days and then out on the patio for a week. The tree-lady watches over things.

Cassia, love the Tree Lady! If I were talented, I'd take a picture and post it, of our Native American female carved out of a redwood post and she overlooks our garden as well. We have gnomes, elves, fairies, trolls and various animals stuck here and there in the garden. They seem to take good care of it.

This is why we should all learn basic cladistics in middle/high school. Because we definitely share a clade with chordates, but that doesn't imply a lack of further modification since then. It just means a common ancestry defined through a shared trait.

My take is that BMW drivers generally drive like asshats. As do people who have louvers in the back window (that's pretty much an '80s thing). I went to visit one of my high school buddies years ago, and he had a BMW with louvers in the back window. We took a ride to a store for some CDs that he had ordered. When we got back to his house, I was laughing, because he had that stereotypical car, but didn't fit that stereotype. I told him that he was that ONE person way over at one end of the bell curve.

Remember, organized warfare was invented in that area. (And others, but few of the "others" have been such a PITA.)
LOL, that's^ Levant. The only Western politician I heard using the name correctly -though in an unwanted context- was Obama. He said ISIL, -L for Levant; when everyone was saying ISIS, -S for Syria (and Irak). Which explains a lot, because it means at least he had an inkling of an idea what was going on. Oh, gawd.
Also, I have a feeling that somehow people confuse the fertility of Ancient Mesopotamia with the current situation. And I saw maps, images, pages showing/saying it is still today, but the point is the region have been IRRIGATED for a long time with modern tech. The thing with Ancient Mesopotamia is that it was so fucking conveniently naturally fertile and rich, humans probbaly have invented agriculture there, lol. Specifically, between the rivers Ceyhun (Amu Derya) and (Siri Derya) Seyhun; Mâverâünnehir. It literally means, between two rivers, if memory serves right.

What? I thought they waited one hour. Now it's nearly two??? I'm confused.
It's especially confusing, given that the date in the pic above is dated 2016.
I've mentioned it elsewhere, and it wasn't popular there, either. There is no requirement for police to run into a hail of lead from a gunman, any more than there is a requirement for firefighters to rescue a truck driver from a fuel tanker on fire.
Though I'm seeing that the response was pretty much a clusterfuck. Once the chaff settles, we'll see what comes out of that.

The narrative changed (https://www.npr.org/2022/06/03/1102689126/uvalde-shooting-police-response). It was initially "up to an hour", but in reality, was more like 75 minutes. Not quite movie-length, though, so the meme is wrong.

The high priestess raises a gold cup filled to the brim with crystal clear water. The water is cold to the touch and shimmers when in contact with flesh. Faintly, an angelic chorus can be heard from the cup, the words are indistinct but hopeful and reassuring.
The high priestess offers the cup to the party, promising blessings of protection and renewal as payment for the successful campaign.
The elf takes a sip, the dwarf drinks heartily, and the barbarian turns the cup upside down and chugs greedily. The priestess smiles warmly.
In moments, the pleasurable taste of pure water is replaced by the acrid tang of iron - warm and frothy and intoxicating. Your head swims. You clutch at your throat, convulsing in agony. You drop the gold cup on the floor, now a horned skull filled with a viscuous red liquid. Your vision dims. Your last sight is the priestess, her sweet smile now a rictus grin, her flesh turning a charred red-brown, new bones snapping violently and erupting from her shoulders. In your last moment of consciousness, you see what looks like a leathery bat wing unfurl...
----
The party awakes somewhere in the Nine Hells...
If you watch the dog video closely you'll notice that the other end of that dip net isn't in sight. Framing is everything.

To be honest, i shipped teen titans bb and raven fervently, back in the day. They were not quite canon, but the good meaning oaf and the competent annoyed smart girl trope is a weak point for me. They had chemistry, like an old married couple.

Quote from: Hydra009 on June 10, 2022, 06:37:50 PMI dunno, aren't they both like 15 or something?
At the start of the show, the main characters vary from 14 to 17. Beast Boy is the youngest, at 14, with Raven being 15. At least, that's what I get from Google. I don't know how official those numbers are. I don't know how much time passes in the show (not counting the time Starfire accidentally travelled several years into the future), but you can assume they get older.
There was an episode of raven's sixteenth birthday.
It spelled doom and gloom.

I don't think they're aware of it. I don't even think they are able. That's the point of faith. I don't think it is about ignorance or lack of information and knowledge either. They don't have the imagination. Religious brain washing -esp. at early age- makes it almost impossible to develop that imagination. Imagination triggers doubt, urge to question and create scepticism. That imagination is also related to empathy, sympathy...etc. They are not able to see anything from a different angle. Only one way. Everything's about them. There is no place for anything else.

Elon Musk's booster landing on a pad after launch is based on, as Isaac Newton said (and I paraphrase), "Standing on the shoulders of giants". 95+% of it had already been done. I worked in aerospace for 27 years. He recruited away a lot of already-trained talent from the local companies to get where he is.

What cooler shit? They've never made payloads, afaik (beyond a bunch of internet comsats that are jacking up the astronomy business), and there is way cooler shit, elsewhere. I'm not sure what you mean by "allowed", actually. US businesses comply with laws (hopefully, usually) so I'm not sure what Musk, et al., did that wouldn't be allowed to other companies.

But your link takes you to my point - Belgium is Northern European - culturally and politically speaking far more related to Scandinavia, the Germanic world and England than it is to Spain or Italy, or even Southern France.
Not really, it's consistently put in the 'west-europe' group. Along with luxembourg and france.
I mean, when you get down to it, lines for such a concept are even more arbitrary than the 'europe asia eurasia' conversation.
But talking geographics , we do get put into the western-europe group by just about any major classification. Whatever you may assume our cultural heritage may be, put aside.
You can see it on the coloration on the maps in the link. I took a north-europe link of wikipedia, belgium does not get classified as that.
Not by the UN standards, not by the world factbook, not by unicef, not by eurovoc,not even by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions, not by the german classification system whose name i forget. Not by shitload of unofficial websites either, like worldometers, whereig, ... in fact if i look up anywhere to define belgium as a northern european country, by any official or unoffical institution or source, i come up with little to none. I think in researching this, these past few hours i came acros one lonely map, while the text below it still didn' include belgium as a northern european country.
And again, there are no 'real' lines to be drawn. And ideas like 'central europe' and such can always be kind of a muddy concept, but we just never or hardly ever get classified as northern european.
Nor do the dutch, who are to the direct north of us, by the way

So what is western europe to you, actually? Which countries?
I know the question isn't directed at me, but imo Germany, Italy, and Austria all the way west to Ireland, France, and Spain is what I consider to be western europe.
I consider Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland to be northern Europe (aka the Nordic states)
By process of elimination, Poland, the three Baltic countries, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc are eastern europe (notable exceptions: Greece and Turkey)
Generally speaking, all eastern european nations are former members of the Warsaw Pact.
Quote from: Mr.Obvious on June 23, 2022, 05:18:47 PMSo what is western europe to you, actually? Which countries?
Spain, Andorra, Southern France, Portugal, Italy, parts of Germany - Latin countries or parts of countries heavily influenced by Latin culture to the point it's their dominant culture (so would argue parts of Belgium at least).
Germanic Europe would be Northern Europe, Slavic Europe Eastern Europe, and Southern Europe basically being Western Europe but throw in the Latin-ized Slavic groups - and when I say these, I mean culturally far more-so than ethnically.

Quote from: Hydra009 on June 29, 2022, 08:05:31 PMMost of the time, when you hear "X is hot, invest now!", the opportune time to invest has long since past.
When that Gamestop stock nonsense was going on, I started selling off most of my stock investments. Only about 12% of my portfolio is in the market now, yet these paper losses still don't feel good. I imagine most people don't check their 401Ks regularly these days to avoid depression..but if you are young and still accumulating for retirement, you may be getting more for your dollar now.
If you are retired like me, at least you can get decent bond/cd yields if inflation doesn't keep going on and on and chip away cash value. IDK, we may already be in recession; I hear Tesla and others are having layoffs. Gonna keep some cash ready because the market will rebound really fast when the numbers look better.
Not sure how anything is going to go in the world. My investment people did a 1000-case Monte Carlo analysis and told me that I could retire, in '14. I did so, and applied immediately for Social Security. Two reasons for that- the gov keeps sneaking around about getting rid of it (the chump talked about getting rid of "entitlements" on Face the Nation, if he was reelected), and I don't know when I'm going to die, so I'm scraping it out as quickly as I can for my family. I worked a ton of years for that money. Seven years, and counting, with retirement. NB- the chump (and Moscow Mitch) call it "entitlements", which to the base means "welfare queens" and bums on the streets, as opposed to the actual meaning of Social Security and Medicare. The uneducated are lead by the nose with these sort of buzz-words. This country has a real problem with properly educating its citizens, in a lot of states.

Unfortunately, conviction doesn't necessarily increase with knowedge. In fact, the most knowledgeable generally lack the conviction of the least knowledgeable. As the saying goes, "the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."
Experts frequently underrate their knowledge and hedge their conclusions (making it appear less certain than it really is to the general public AKA jury's still out syndrome), while idiots overrate their knowledge and tellingly make no provision for being wrong (making their conclusions seem more certain than they really are because of the mistaken public belief that lack of doubt is the hallmark of a sure thing rather than a true idiot)

In this map, from Sweden to Turkey, it's full of it.
Chocolate is Swiss, not Belgian. :D
Also, why can't Latvians eat potatoes and what is yogurt doing in Bulgaria?
*Yoğurt comes from the verb 'yoğurmak' -it's still in every day usage- which means 'working the dough' in Turkish. The one word literally means 'have the dough work'. If memory serves right, the ancient Greek records refers to 'barbaric tribes' making it. However, it's probably much older than that, but thinking about the product, I think we can just be sure that doesn't matter who the inventors are (it could've been multiple cultures, in different times and places, forgotten, invented over again), they were probably nomadic.
About this 'claiming food' business. I can stand Turks, Bulgarians, Greeks, Arabs and Armenians. (Not in any order.) They claim everything is theirs. It's not even remotely close. Most of it's Mesopotamian. LOL

My eldest aunt and her family have stayed in Belgium for years and they used to bring that good stuff a lot. But it's too sweet for me in general. Germans are crazy about sweet snacks in general. Not like the others' two art form though, I guess. Me, I'm a quite late chocolate fan because I don't like sweet-milk taste and it took some time for that rich strong bitter chocolates to come to my country. My younger aunt has lived in Switzerland for a long time (the one I've visited in London, been living in there for the last 10+ years, now she is moving back) and that's how I tasted high end Swiss chocolate for a few occasions.
Switzerland and Belgium make the best chocolates in the world. Once upon a time, Turkey was the leading nut seller, and my professor's (she is 85 now) father owned the fields that grew some special kind of tiny nut. I think, it was almost only sold to both back then to be used in chocolate products. I dunno if that still goes on, long time. Insanely delicious those tiny nuts are. It was not something sold in the stores.

That'd be like me saying that it'd be okay if the US were under attack and we lost both the western and eastern seaboard, we could just take refuge at the Cheyenne military base and use their Stargate to summon Jaffa battallions to Area 51 where they'd pilot the secretly stored F-302s and bomb all of China in 10 seconds flat.
Really, really hard to take that seriously, despite the very serious subject matter.
Btw, this dude has a PhD from one of the most prestigious universities on the planet and comes up with stuff that a child eating lead paint chips and playing with plastic army men would come up with.
This has to be some kind of poe, or at least internal propaganda.

It is incredible how ugly most of the developed and even rural parts of the US really are. People throng to theme parks and national parks just to escape it.
I hired a builder for my previous house, and he immediately was gonna clear cut the lot, plant water hungry sod and a few dinky trees. I was like, no way.. I'm gonna tie a yellow ribbon around all these old oak trees that I think we can save. He had a fit and wanted to charge me extra just to work around these trees a bit. I told him it was non-negotiable and btw you can keep your standard "landscape package" of two twiggy trees and a few bushes, LOL.
In my neighborhood, there was a 1.5-acre lot never developed with large oak and poplar trees. I was surprised and disappointed when the new owner clear-cut the entire property to build a house and then planted two 5-foot trees. It was completely unnecessary to raze the entire lot. Not only did the owner pay thousands to have the trees removed but they devalued the property, as people pay more for mature landscapes. Such a waste.

I've been looking into it, and apparently there's some sort of core urban planning philosophy adopted by both the USA and Canada that stands in stark contrast with most of the rest of the world.
Consider streets and roads:
Streets are usually 2-lane, slow moving, and next to residential areas or dense urban areas. You know, people's homes or downtown businesses. Lots of pedestrians, bikes, etc.
Roads are super fast, 4-6 lane, essentially highways, zero pedestrians/bikes. No one stops to turn, that's done with on-ramps and off-ramps.
If you're going somewhere, you pull out of your garage to a street, then one or more roads, then a street, then you park at your destination.
Simple. Easy. Effecient. Safe.
In the US and Canada, we have street-road hybrids (aka stroads) everywhere. These are 45mph+ roads full of stop-and-go traffic due to people constantly pulling in and out, you have to be on the lookout for pedestrians (people often walk in the street because of poor sidewalk coverage), biking is possible but it's so dangerous that it's essentially a death sentence.
You will get in a wreck, and the prevailing wisdom will be that it's your personal fault for not "paying attention" and nothing to do with the horrendous road design.
If you're a pedestrian, any businesses on the other side of the stroad might as well be on the moon, cause you're taking your life into your own hands every time you try to cross these monstrosities.
To get somewhere, you pull out onto a stroad, then another stroad, then maybe an actual road (highway), then a couple more stroads, and finally, possibly an actual street (or another stroad) before you reach your destination.
Complex. Difficult. Inffecient. Dangerous.
I learned that some places in Europe, like the Netherlands, have bike paths decoupled from roads. Essentially, paved trails just for bikes and pedestrians. Thst blew my mind.
If we did something like that in the States, waaay more people would bike or walk.
Over here, you can't get anywhere without a car. The whole city is designed around it.

Wouldn't have even take that long for them to turn on Jesus. One look at his tan skin and dark hair, and they'd say he was the Anti-Christ, here to deceive them. Some would probably say he was a Muslim too, because why not? God knows what nonsense Q-Anon would come up with. I know one thing. If the New Testament is to be believed, Jesus coming back would be bad news for a lot of Christians, who care deeply about issues he never talked about (like abortion), but take the complete opposite stance on things he actually did talk about (the rich being unqualified for Heaven, extreme pacifism, selling
all of one's possessions and giving them to the poor, etc).
I think the reason that bicycle culture hasn't developed in that way in the US might be that the distances are too long. So it wasn't seen as a good investment? In Europe, people don't cycle for exercise or fun, they travel with it. Dutch live on bicycles. Danish too. Scandinavians, Belgians... Germans. They are all cyclers. I know in the UK it is pretty good too. It's a legit way of transportation. Most people, especially in cities don't need to drive long distances to go work, shopping...etc.
I also think that there is a correlation between transportation with general prosperity and development of culture of a region. I honestly believe that bicycle usage in daily life is a symptom of civilization.
When I've first visited Europe, bicycles in the daily traffic was the first thing I've noticed. No rush, fight or honks. They've just moved with cars in harmony in small central Europe cities. Over here where I live, fucking drivers think the road is only their right. Forget bicycles, motorcycles are in great danger. There is a common hatred towards cycling because people are backward, so incredibly ignorant and bigotic, having a car is a life goal, status more than a vehicle for travel. And by the way, it is not like the US here, there are many sorts of transportation and short distances too.

Where I live, which is a fairly average suburban area, all everyday places are well within biking range. But I can't because I'd be risking my life every day if I tried.
Ironically, there's a cyclist store not far from here, but it's only accessible through a fast-moving, car-only stroad.

Christians seemingly don't follow the biblical jesus. this is one of the almost universally ignored verses in their bible.
Matthew 6:1-34 ESV
"Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ..."
I have spent many, many hours listening to sermons in my life and I don't remember these verses ever being the subject of any one of them. It is universally accepted that the true hallmark of a true, faithful, christian is to advertise that faith especially by praying in public. But then, the true hallmark of a faithful christian is hypocrisy--that is their true god.

The National Day of Prayer shows how little Christians care about what Jesus said. Imagine how he'd react if he actually floated down from the clouds.
"National Day of Prayer? Are you serious? Are you guys so dense that you can't tell these politicians are just pandering to you? I specifically told you that people who pray in public only do it for the attention! I told you to go to a dark room by yourself to pray, or else I'll ignore you! Every day, it's 'Heavenly Father' this, 'O Lord that.' Ask me for one more thing in public! I dare you! I swear to me! I'd threaten to chase you all with a whip, but I know some of you are into that!"

Fortunately, in the last decade, people here have started to work and push against the bullshit in some places. In 2017, there was a protest in the city. "Give way to cyclers" kind of stuff. But this is Aegean, the West. Now there are lanes in a few cities, tours and groups. There is a race and they close the roads. They've founded associations and etc. Now, there are individual groups traveling with bicycles in long distances. In our city, they've at least put lanes and you can rent bicycles. It was something around 40 km and the news is it will go up to 135...pfft I'll believe it when I see it. So somethings are won. But then what annoys me to no end is that now, it is a hobby for people with money. It's a pricey hobby. Again, no safe functional travel. I trust the new generation though. I see young men and women cycling in the traffic against everything and it makes me happy. Esp. when I see young women because this infuriates the religious, all kinds of bigots. Those women, in the road with those tight clothes, no morality...you know.
Pushing with protests are the only way it seems. You guys need to unite too. It's not given, needs to be taken. Find people who wants to cycle -esp with the new gas prices- and let's see what happens when hundreds of people get out to streets with bicycles. Start with few, you'll see it will grow. Cycling is so many things friendly and it's contagious too. Me, I just cycle at the summer site. It's a small place and there I'm the only woman at 40+. (And my sis when she comes.) They are all kids and young people and men. My mother says that we've learned as small kids and most people esp women never had a chance to learn because it wasn't the thing. She wanted to but she was so scared she'd fall. I dunno. When you look at it the cycling federation was founded in freaking 1923 in the country. As I said this is really a lot about development of culture and vision.
A couple of shot from the 2017 protest.

An NFT is one of the latest get-rich-quick schemes. Basically. People buy these Nonfungible Tokens (NFTs), which are these unique...uhh...strings of code? Which are represented by pictures, often used without the author's permission. Their only worth is what people decided it should be, so people buy and try to sell them off for more. They are highly insecure investments.

Pratt got some flak for attenting an anti-gay church or something, but in this case, it's the character.
Peter makes a lot of rash decisions, to put it mildly, and his character doesn't always know what the audience knows or the end result of his actions. Therefore, if he acts rashly and there's a positive result, he's a good person. And if he acts rashly and there's a negative result, he's a bad person. Flawless logic.
Weird.
To each their own, Starlord is top 3 MCU characters for me - relatable backstory & character motivations and I spent time in a van once with a guy who believed he had been abducted by aliens so basically we are the same person.

It's because he donated money to a church which was modeled after Hillsong church, which is a bit of a confusing thread to follow, honestly. He donates money to a church, which is similar to Hillsong, which is anti-LGBTQ+, therefore Pratt is a homophobe? O...kay. The only thing I really learned from this is that Pratt is a Christian.
Pratt claims he's "not religious," but reading through his comment, it seems to me that he's one of those "it's not a religion; it's a relationship" types of Christians. Equally annoying to the sudden wave of hate Pratt received for his very loose connection to Hillsong is the wave of Christians who have come to his defense, playing their martyr cards as they love to do.

Problem with that statement is that who are these other cultures they're supposed to be superior to? (Not even getting into what's superior culture.) They're superior to other European cultures, or other world cultures in general?
Europeans, esp. the young generation has a tendency to think the superior one, the Western culture is a collective culture.
Greece and the Balkans are not a bit of surprise. It's a given, lol. But not just because they're the least developed ones. We've just talked before a couple of weeks ago in food context. Greek, Bulgarian, Albanian (I've added Turks and Armenians to that list in the previous context)...etc. these cultures are so old, they have gotten attributed to certain things good or bad, but well known, some of them what we define civilisation with so often, they see themselves that way. This is mostly political bullshit of course, because if it had any reality, Mesopotamian cultures, Indian and Chinese cultures would be on the track everywhere around the world. So it is not entirely the Greek's fault, lol. Italians see themselves as descendents of Roman Empire and so Americans in a different context. Spain was surprising for me. France is not so much, although yes it's lower than I'd expect, but they have been living with millions of people from very different cultures. Britain looks lower than expected too. In the end, apparently most people in the world find Genghis Khan as the most memorable character in history.
We've all heard 'we owe democracy to Greeks' many times in movies, even doc. Many similar other things for the Roman Empire. Systems of slavery, only nobles had any right. Magna Carta has always been something on paper. Bourgeoisie actually existed before French revolution. They were called merchants in the middle ages and beyond. Considering they were literal, they understood many languages, knew different cultures, routes, knew about time and calculations, they were basically supermen in their times. And when they got powerful they threatened kings and went all the way up in time. Medicis were actually merchants for starters, they've become the Medici after founding a bank.
In this context, a reminder. Modern scholars, do not accept anything defined as policy before modern state because they're all done for Houses and sovereigns. So most of it is bullshit.
I got bored and forgot what I was thinking about. Besides my adhd brain, I swear I had an idea. LOL

Those crazy liberals go hysterical over the smallest things (excuse me while I go have a meltdown in Target about the bathrooms or flip my crap over rainbow-colored cookies).
Anyways, CFCs were in the news, now they're not in the news, so I assume that problem was taken care of without the least bit of effort (it's so obvious that there's no need to look that one up) and now I'm going to imply that a different, more extensive and much more dangerous climate problem will be similarly solved with no action. Flawless logic.
Walsh also seems to mistake what the media talks about as what scientists are talking about - scientists are still very, very concerned about the condition of our ozone layer and that it could be worse than they thought.
"If people who think like me don't talk about it, it's not real/isn't true/etc.!"
Yeah, a lot of news junkies think the 24/7 news cycle reflects reality. In actuality, the 24/7 news cycle represents a thin slice of conflicts (and presented almost entirely without context). Plenty of very serious problems get scant airtime and a lot of petty drama gets top billing.
Sometimes, unresolved problems get short bursts of attention or get buried entirely.
Also, sometimes positive but unexciting developments are ignored in favor of it-bleeds-it-leads infotainment.
So you can get both downplaying of grave threats and overly negative/pessimistic impressions of serious problems, both leading to unreasonable assessments and therefore inadequate response. You'd almost suspect that was intentional.

When I was on Reeves (CG-24) we had a valve that was going to shop. IF my striker could get the studs undone so we could move it that is. I chained two 1.25 inch combination wrenches and used the leverage to twist the stud until it broke.

Depends on the context. Before 18, you're considered a minor in general, but when it comes to alcohol, you're a "minor" until you're 21. If this picture was taken in Texas, then if you are under 21, but your spouse is 21 or older, your spouse may give you an alcoholic beverage. A parent or legal guardian can do the same for a minor.

The group is a stereotypical fantasy team.
A rogue is a master thief and assassin and naturally, decides that it'd be a good idea to put these great skills to use by murdering with abandon everyone in the vicinity - the lords, the ladies, the beggars, the orphan boy, and even his closest companion and only true friend - the orphan boy's puppy - all fall from a variety of increasingly creative and difficult strikes from a pair of poisoned, demonic daggers wielded only by the rogue. No one has proof, but everyone knows who did it.
A bard is charsmatic and very charming, and uses this to excess, attempting to seduce everyone who makes eye contact.
A druid is at one with nature and wielder of the raw magic of the natural world. But apparently, they took the "one with nature" part a little too literally and now they've violated several sexual laws, a couple animal cruelty laws, have a new law named after them, and possibly have a new type of Inevitable on its way (Inevitables are essentially superpowered cops who come after you if you break the universal laws of reality). Suffice it to say that certain liberties were taken that definitely should not have been.
The joke, summarized: my team is dysfunctional and misuses its immense power for selfish and/or sociopathic purposes.

Dungeon Master. They're the person who runs the game and the world the players are experiencing.
The DM is stereotypically detail-oriented and knowledgeable while the players are stereotypically impulsive, inattentive, self-centered, and more interested in causing havoc in a bar than pursuing a quest.

I mean, we could intervene in the often-brutal circle of life, but would the end results be desirable? Let's say we snatch a gazelle out of a crocodile's maw. At the end of the day, the crocodile still has to eat.
P.S. - that comment thread is like a novel now. Whenever someone disagrees with red, red tells them to stfu and reiterates their argument. I just got to the point where red says filming nature is exploitation because we're getting entertainment out of animals (I'd argue that it's mostly educational) and giving them nothing in return. I'm sitting here scratching my head thinking about a hyena's W2 and I swear, I'm bleeding braincells with every comment chain.

If we take the the eloquent William Frank Buckley Jr and his upper class mid-Atlantic Southern drawl and polite mannerisms, you may not immediately realize his hateful ideals. Gay men should have the word "AIDS" tatoo-ed on their asses. Really? This is an intellectual? Gore Vidal was absolutely correct about him.
Conservatism is rancid to the core. It is hard to see much of a connection between Honest Abe and conservatives. I used to believe financial conservatism on its own was OK. But I was fooled....It is just another scheme increase the wealth gap.
Speaking of being fooled, I found out this morning on Wikipedia that Udo of Aachen was fictional.

I loved watching the debate between Vidal and Buckley regarding the use of violence at the 1968 Democratic Convention when Vidal called Buckley a "pro-war crypto nazi". Buckley lost his shit over that, calling Vidal a "queer", and threatening him with physical violence. So much for intelligent debate.
I see conservatism as being a convenient way for a basically hateful, immoral person to cover their core fuckedupness under a veneer of perceived respectability.

Since this is not a logical problem but one of definition; do we say drill a hole through plywood or do we say drill two holes? One through the front and one through the back? The dimensions of the material external to the hole are immaterial as it were. If you used a "hole cutter" you would get one plug. .

I agree that this is a problem of definition, and given the initial question of "how many holes are there in a straw?" one would first need to define the word "straw". It would seem that most assume that the question refers to a tubular straw, like one that is used for drinking, but what if the straw is merely a piece of fiber. Or, perhaps the straw is something much more relevant to the validity of the logic used in trying to answer the question, as in "clutching at straws". Given that we really do not know exactly what the word straw in the question refers to, I would have to answer the question as "Don't know".
Also, Dark Lightning's explanation of the topology of a doughnut made me think of how good a doughnut would taste right now. Additionally, contemplating the hole and taste of the doughnut reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite writers, Haruki Murakami from his novel A Wild Sheep Chase: "Whether you take the doughnut hole as a blank space or as an entity unto itself is a purely metaphysical question and does not affect the taste of the doughnut one bit."

A hole is a circle (or thereabouts) of atmosphere surrounded by solid material. So yes, a cave enterance and exit is a hole. As is an open door or open window.

^^This is actually what is generally more Biblically accurate. Their catchphrase is "be not afraid" for a reason. Angels are often described in the Bible as these super bizarre creatures.
Like these monstrosities: https://twitter.com/i/status/1492261421530238980
Meanwhile, demons get no physical descriptions that I can recall, outside of symbolic representation of Satan as a dragon. Christians often claim (although with no Biblical justification) that Satan was once Lucifer, the most beautiful angel in Heaven. And if you think about it, if demons really did exist, them having a beautiful outer appearance would make sense, as it would help them lure humans into a false sense of security, as well as allow them to LARP as angels and deceive people.

He was selling a belief system, plain and simple, when he contradicts himself in those few pages.

The Bible assigns male names to angels but that doesn't really matter if you look at how angels are typically depicted in art. If you are gonna make stuff up to believe in, you may as well make as you like it. I recall a survey where a vast majority actually believe they have a guardian.

Funny. There's no way the traditionally patriarchal societies that birthed the Hebrew and Christian religions would have described angels as feminine. They wouldn't assign what is essentially demi-god status to females. Nowadays, angels are more often assumed to be female, if not otherwise stated. How times have changed.

Sometimes, when slicing or chewing, the celery stalk forms this unpleasant peel-like texture like the inside of the peel of a banana. It's hard to account for how this happens, but I can attest to it happening.
Same for the top layer of spring onions. That layer is very slimy on the inside compared to all the other layers.

Quote from: Hydra009 on August 23, 2022, 02:11:17 PMSometimes, when slicing or chewing, the celery stalk forms this unpleasant peel-like texture like the inside of the peel of a banana. It's hard to account for how this happens, but I can attest to it happening.
Same for the top layer of spring onions. That layer is very slimy on the inside compared to all the other layers.

Completely different. Cooked, raw... Celery tastes amazing. My favourite veggie. Esp. as an olive oil dish. This is the classic recipe. (the youtube link.) But we make that with celery heart and a very little carrot & potato with orange juice. More celery, less stuff. [Also another one: Grated celery heart (raw), strained yogurt (use Greek or Turkish), walnut and dill. NOM. This is so delicious. AMAZING.]

I quite agree with that. I avoided it like the plague until my 30s just because I thought it would taste like buttermilk, for some reason. Then one day at lunch in San Francisco I decided to try it. I was so surprised how good it tasted that I couldn't get enough of it! There's a brand called Marie's that's the only one I really like. Sometimes I even mix in some blue cheese crumbles, and I'm really in heaven! I don't even need anything with it, I just scoop it out of the jar with a spoon.

I kinda want to sit fundies down and explain to them that "energy" is just an inoffensive metaphor for power in the electrical sense (i.e. "powered up"). You know, terms that even small children can understand. Not, you know, the Christian concept of "demonic energy", a very geographically and culturally localized concept.
Games in general try to sell all across the world and therefore use concepts that most everyone can understand, like colors and shapes and generic terms like "energy". Stuff that basically no one will have a problem with.
Edit - I also want to explain to them that the demons and devils in both Dungeons and Dragons and MTG are supposed to be evil because they're the bad guys.

Yep. It interacts with many common medicine from cold pills to others too. Sister of one of my ex was taken to emergency, years ago. As far as I understand it's also harmful by itself when consumed a lot.

I'm all of them. I mean, it depends on the book, doesn't it? There are books I read a part from every year or when I can't breathe, and the ones I turn when I work or want to be informed/learned. And they almost all have bookmarks. They come with the book. Most of the source books of mine have those colourful thin or thick plastic things made to separate chapters or important parts. What's that one in the alignment chart? Because it fucks up the book, you know? New paperbacks, don't last a few readings. Especially, the new fiction. Gawd. Naturally, old ones are rocks. They're like old analogue telephones, original props inspiring a good old school murder mystery. Thump!

Quote from: drunkenshoe on September 01, 2022, 05:33:31 PMI'm all of them. I mean, it depends on the book, doesn't it? There are books I read a part from every year or when I can't breathe, and the ones I turn when I work or want to be informed/learned. And they almost all have bookmarks. They come with the book. Most of the source books of mine have those colourful thin or thick plastic things made to separate chapters or important parts. What's that one in the alignment chart? Because it fucks up the book, you know? New paperbacks, don't last a few readings. Especially, the new fiction. Gawd. Naturally, old ones are rocks. They're like old analogue telephones, original props inspiring a good old school murder mystery. Thump!
I use a post-it note, stuck to the paragraph where I stopped reading, leaving an edge sticking out of the book. When I am done with the book, I roll the post-it into a ball for the cats to play with.

The fig tree story is pretty different than stories with fantasy monsters. Fantasy monsters are symbolic and/or intended to inspire awe, fear...etc. But this one has a better telling about where the whole story comes from.
The god is hungry, gets angry because it is not the fig season, and while he cannot think to make the tree give figs to feed himself and his entourage, he wills/curses people not to eat from its figs. He doesn't curse the fig season or the fig tree not to give figs. He curses all the people on earth not to eat its figs because he is angry that the tree has no figs.
The god does not just turn into a petty homicidal sadist when he gets angry, who condemns the people he created wandering in a desert to death, he is also a moron.

Eh, not exactly what the story is about, at least by the end of that passage.
Quote20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. "How did the fig tree wither so quickly?" they asked.
21 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
So it's about believing in the power of prayer and faith. He just murdered a tree to prove the point. I always though this one sent a mixed message.
Couldn't he have...I dunno, made the tree instantly produce fruit instead? Him cursing a tree for not having fruit in it out of season just makes him look like he's throwing a hissy fit.
"My Lord. Figs don't grow this time of year."
"But I wanted a fig! I want it! I want it! I want it! Stupid tree!"
Yeah. He was, after all, supposed to be God incarnate, the Lord of Life, etc.! He could simply have caused figs to burst forth in abundance - or for that matter, bread and fish. Or the tree should simply have fruited by itself just because he was near.
Turns out, though, that the whole story was merely an allegory, as it was wrapped around the story of the temple money changers. I don't have time to go into it now, though, maybe later I could devote some time to it, or just point in the right direction on the web.

OK. LOL, so the poor fig tree suffered too. Of course, it's about prayer and faith. I was trying to point out that the parable -or whatever they were aiming at with that- is so moronically inconsistent in itself, for its type, it's worse than the other fairy tale versions considering its purpose.
People who have constructed, written-rewritten these texts are not as stupid as most people think. There is a reason why they are so varied, even twisted and fucked up in different ways. Their purpose is not to spread good or order, it's about convincing, like bugging minds for control.
We have known for a looong time that riding three headed sharks or some mythical animals is bullshit, and this is not something about modern times. Not even middle ages. People have thought these were just tales equally long time ago, actually long before biblical texts, not because of some knowledge or information or reason, but just because of puritanistic tendencies in faith.
Marketing. In my opinion, that's why there are plain examples like this -albeit with same moronity- and others like hollywood movie scenes. Most people were deep in nature just 300 years ago. Fishing, hunting...trying to survive. Noone has ever seen a monster. You can tell these stories in the church all you want, the woodcutter and the fishermen will not buy your stories, at most they will think monsters in the bible were long gone with faith, but the other plain ones with nature will have some affect.
Same thing goes for today too. But unfortunately, the monster stories actually works better today because most people do not interact with nature anymore. We've had factories and machines for a long time. Who knows what's going on deep in the woods, eh? LOL

I have come to realize that the editors of the bible were master propagandists of the highest order. Not only in selecting various texts (and destroying most others) but in how they were put together. Masterful! And it was all aimed at control and gaining wealth for the leaders; and hence power. They were not stupid people. Not good, but not stupid.
There is an ever standing perfect joker card with human. Or any organic intelligent being. Fear of the dark. Evolution. You can use that the way you want, if you know how, according to any time or period. Chuck anything in it you like, following that principle. Just customize it.
And remember, the vast majority of people, until relatively recently, couldn't read a word of the Bible, so only the approved authorities knew anything at all about what was in it.

It could also be a way to sneak in some religious doubt by wrapping in faith a story about an irate messiah, impotently waiting for nature to provide for him (think of the implications of that). The "writer" (oral story-teller, most likely) could just say that the story is ultimately about faith and magic so that orthodox people are content, but anyone with a skeptical bent will take away a completely different message.
Same with iron chariots and Elisha's bears and Noah's drunken incest-rape. They're all very orthodox-affirming. *wink wink*

When you look at the earliest Christian martyrs, you see how "un-Christian" they are compared to the acts of saints after Rome converted to Christianity; they did things like feed the poor, protect women's rights, promoted freedom.
After the conversion of the imperial elite, suddenly saints all started being lords, warriors, and other powerful men who ran the European world. Funny how that worked out...
But Rome rules our church; Rome rules our politics; Rome rules our language itself, both the alphabet and things like the months; Rome rules our architecture; Rome rules our economic system; Rome rules our philosophy, our history, our education.
The Roman Empire never died, it just left Rome and took various other forms. It's still been going strong, 2000 years later, because an empire is never about the place, it's about control.
The Rastafari see "Babylon" as all that is evil in the world today - I think they simply got the wrong empire.

St. Etienne died in 34 AD, and his story is in the New Testament - Acts 6 to Acts 7, so it clearly isn't entirely made up.
Constantine's mother helped to produce the show.
In the book "Innocents Abroad" Mark Twain details his visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, describing with his signature irreverence how in the 3rd century, Constantine's mother, Helena, found many biblical "artifacts" to place there, including such items as Adam's grave, and the dust from which Adam was made. The proof of authenticity as Twain reports:
QuoteThat Adam was formed of dirt procured in this very spot is amply proven by the fact that in six thousand years no man has ever been able to prove that the dirt was not procured here whereof he was made.

Many of the incidental things in the bible are real. Jerusalem is real, for example. Some of the people named are real. None of the major players are real. And even if they are, there is no evidence that what is claimed of them is factual. With the exception of Paul, none of the writers of the NT are real. Few, if any, of the incidents or stories are real; or there is no evidence to suggest they are real. And it is a fact that many more writings were destroyed by christians than what is included in any of the bibles we have. Propaganda, all of it!

It's not even tiny bit of important if Constantine really has converted or not. I bet he didn't even know about it. Highly likely, he was already unconscious closing to his death. (He supposedly converted in his death bed.) It's a clever political move to calm and control the army and an army of slaves. It's a huge threat.

Haven't seen any increase in ads - and they give me a time to doomscroll twitter, without having to download some adblocker that collects information on me that I rather it not collect.
Life goes on.

I'm sure there are better examples because the difference here is not the same with the other.
Yeah, those two have nothing in common, that I can see.
I don't see the difference in the Silver thing, except they decided to not have him or her slip on a banana peel. Everything other change to that character design is neutral.

The eyes went from this unique, freaky looking style appropriate for his psychic powers, and which were the same color as the symbols on his palms (which glow when he uses his powers) to something more typical to the series. His mane went from yellow, complimenting the gold on his clothes, to white, blending in with the rest of his body.
The level design change was especially drastic. In the game, Eggman takes over the world. The concept art shows Green Hill covered in barbed wire fences. A big gate with guard towers block the entrance. The trees are wilted, cob webs cover the loops, a thunderstorm darkens the land. It's like the land itself has been enslaved and tortured.
Then the final product is just Green Hill, but with sand. Bright, sunny, and cheerful as ever.

Because God wanted to show off with his cool magic tricks. God never actually wanted the pharaoh to listen, and the one time the pharaoh decide to listen, God was like, "Nope! Not done yet." He hardened the pharaoh's heart to make him change his mind. So much for free will.

I don't think prayer is about results. It's some sort of a coping mechanism, a sort of meditation. Just one with an open end. If the result is good, they say 'my prayer was accepted', if not, it wasn't accepted. In the end, god has a plan.
My guess would be that modern believers rely on prayer more than people lived before... roughly electricity in their daily lives. Old people obviously had more religious routines, rituals, prayers. But reliance in daily practice is different, praying as a habit because it's a strict rule is different. It's not something special with the latter. It's like the course in courses of meal. Everyone is aware there is no meal because there are courses, but the other way around. Because they make almost everything themselves, people die young, no social contract...

When I was a Christian, I was taught that God answers prayers with "yes," "no," or "not yet." Basically, no matter what happens, God gets credit. Might as well pray to a jug of milk.

Or like melania's jacket--god says I don't give a flying fuck!! Do you???!
There is also a passage people in church liked to quote a lot.
Matthew 7:7-11 - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
Pretty big promises being made there. And this isn't the only passage like this. According to the Bible, followers of Jesus would have the power to tell mountains to move, but I made plenty of requests smaller than that and got nothing.
When I see a full-grown adult talking about prayer with a straight face, my immediate thought is that this person has not rationally developed at all and is basically a child.
Most people are very susceptible to con men, symbolism, emotions and gut reactions, baseless ideologies, fear mongers, magicians, subliminal suggestion, hard print, and conspiracies.
Susceptibility does not seem to be 100% correlated with IQ. There is some other factor. It would be a great subject for a study.

Sometimes when people try to preach Jesus at me out of the blue, I quote Paul's words back at them: "When I was a child, I thought as a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child. But when I became a man I put away childish things."
Some people just never grow up.

Dickish on both sides, but I would like to point out that the photog probably got paid some bucks and shouldn't bitch too much. Didn't happen at my wedding. :shrug:
Excuse me? People invited to the wedding get fed. Photographer is invited, therefore photographer gets fed. If it were me, he wouldn't even have to ask for food. The fact that he's paid is neither here nor there.
Yes, he is hired and you do feed him. Not because it's a wedding because he is working. You feed the musicians, no? It's ridiculous to think otherwise, imo.
Ikr? What's he supposed to do, leave the wedding and go to McDonalds? Bring a bagged lunch and watch other people eat chicken carbonara and cake?
On a purely practical level, the correct answer is to feed him, to say nothing of a host's duty to guests (even guests paid to provide a service). Personally, I consider it a major breach of protocol if no food is offered or accepted at a social gathering.
I have recently discovered that this idea of host hospitality is far from universal:

That map seems off a bit--at least from personal experience. both of my grandparents (on mother's side) were born and raised in Sweden. I spent several full summers with them and tons of other visits. Whenever a guest showed up, invited or not, grandma always furnished something to eat; and it did not matter when that visit occurred. They lived in Portland and then later moved to a little farm north of Portland. There was a fairly large group of Swedes living in both Portland and the little town of Scappoose where they had their farm. Grandpa was always going to one Swedish farm/household to do repairs or help with some task or another. He and I were always offered coffee and food of some sort every time. I was lead to believe that that was the norm where they came from in Sweden, as well.

Doki Doki Literature Club. It's modeled after a typical dating simulator, but it gets real dark real fast. The GF won't make it a fourth of the way through the game without dropping her jaw and saying, "What the fuck?"

It's a dating sim that goes the psychological horror route about halfway through. Really tugs at the ol' heartstrings.

The story behind it's apparently even better - he was *in an engineering class or something when he just started uni in Bristol, where 170 *students were male, 3 female... and a sociology class where 170 were female, 3 male (this is taken from a podcast he did)
Now, being the alpha macho-chad he was, he noticed that almost all the girls were vegetarians and vegans... so he intentionally only ate chicken meat and beef to stick it to them and piss them off.
In his defense, even he realizes just how fucking stupid he was... but I don't know if you ever REALLY recover from being that dumb.
Yeah, and to deal with the scurvy, he had the 280 IQ genius idea of drinking A LITER OF ORANGE JUICE every night but got acid reflux for his troubles. Drinking a whole liter of OJ in a day is roughly equivalent to brushing your teeth with a fist-sized glob of toothpaste. It's just waaay too much.

I'm going to look up the etymology. Tie is apparently old english for "cord" or "string" or basically anything that ties something to something else. Tie in the sense of an even matchup dates back to the 1670s, I suppose in the sense that both competitors are "tied" to 1st place.

Yeah, never buy a house on a street corner. Further, we live on the street where there are only two car lengths from the next street, so if somebody gets stupid and runs into out house, it won't be at any great speed. We had several criteria-
1. Not in a flood plain.
2. Proven earthquake resistance (this house has seen 2 major quakes with epicenters within 20 miles, and is unscathed.
3. Composition roof. This community was built with shake shingle roofs that are notorious for catching fire when the retardants have leached out after several years. This is a replacement roof.
4. Many homes are between us and any fire that comes through our area. Many of them would have to burn, first, and the construction around here uses stucco as an exterior finish. It doesn't burn, period.
5. Now, one can't screen neighbors with much success. When we moved in, it was OK. Then a family moved in next door with a lunatic wife. We had to put up CCTV cameras to reduce the vandalism, but it didn't stop that vicious guttersnipe from spreading all kinds of untruths in the neighborhood.

The meme format is from the #3 comedy-film Borat, a wacky story of a Kazakhstan native's immigration to the United States, with ensuing cultural misunderstandings. (He's only familiar with the US through Baywatch) The film has a second layer of sharp criticism of the US through sarcastic praise and the audience going along with racist, misogynistic, or warmongering rhetoric.
Game of Thrones is basically the fantasy equivalent of the ineptly repainted Jesus painting. I've never seen so much potential squandered so hard and so unapologetically.
And Lord of the Rings is a 3-film masterpiece whose source material pretty much single-handedly created the fantasy genre as we know it - dragons, magical artifacts, elves, dwarves, orcs/goblins, the epic struggle of good versus evil, etc. Every last second of those movies is gold. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out. I have yet to meet a single person who saw it and didn't at least somewhat like it.

George R. Martin also liked to consider his fantasy to be more realistic. LotR is good vs evil. GoT has no pure evil or good characters, but everyone is a shade of gray. LotR has happy endings, while resolutions in GoT may be quite disturbing or sad. The main cast in LotR pretty much have plot armor, while GoT may just kill main cast members unceremoniously, catching the audience off guard.
That is, until you get to the end. Then you've got a war of humans against unambiguously evil zombies, characters with plot armor able to survive against overwhelming odds, and a fairly happy ending, where the zombies are killed, the corrupt government is replaced with a new one, and a compromise is made that makes pretty much everyone happy. Except for all the unnamed background characters who died in an attempt to retain the show's shock factor.

Not everyone. There are plenty of pure evil characters (Cersei, Ramsay, Joffrey) and a couple of nearly purely good ones (Missande, Samwell) but yeah, most people are more mixed and torn than is typical in the genre.

Even before the end, you have a character take a massive stab wound and get dumped into a filthy canal and they're fine. There are indeed quite a few characters who cannot die under any circumstances, betraying the core anyone-can-die premise.
Quoteand a fairly happy ending, where the zombies are killed, the corrupt government is replaced with a new one, and a compromise is made that makes pretty much everyone happy.
It's not so much that those things happened, but that they happened nearly effortlessly and basically overnight. A massive existential problem comparable to global warming and a seemingly eternal cycle of corruption and violence solved just like that. In a show where nothing happens effortlessly.

It's shocking to me that Americans don't seem to realize... a lot of the "real" OG European-Americans (from the N.E. tip of Canada to Portuguese Brasil) came here to escape religious and political oppression; it wasn't until England and France began sending it's industry and military here that the violence actually really sparked off in the North. Latin America... it was pretty terrible from the start and just went down hill.
Imagine if where you lived the living conditions, the oppression, the violence... all of it was so bad, that you were willing to hop on a rotting wooden ship your group could pull up enough money for passage on... then travel for months at sea, with risk of starvation, disease, storm and God knows what all that will knock out likely the majority of your pack...
All based on the word of some guy from a foreign empire that said he discovered some decent land, and there are no European governments there.
I don't know, but for me... I rather not imagine living conditions so bad that would make that option the "nicer" of the two.
Some of the Puritans emigrated to North America because England wasn't repressive enough.

Absolutely, yet Westeros and Middle Earth are imaginary places with supernatural creatures-- they represent the Middle Ages as much as Twilight represents twentieth-century Washington state, which at least is a real place. What they do reflect is the authors' minds, what they care about, what they have to say, and how good they are at writing and crafting compelling stories.

Hey now, just about every decent story out there is about good characters going through serious struggles. The alternative is Mary Sue stories (overpowered, flawless characters who effortlessly solve whatever problems arise) and people hate those.
On the other side of the sliding scale of cynicism, if all the good characters died or failed, then that'd be a big downer and an utterly pointless story. Instead, some of the good characters survive and go through a lot crap for *fingers crossed* a big payoff at the end. Maybe.

I am a strange cat, I guess. I vaguely follow the storylines, but I am in it for the environment, the vibe, and the occasional moments of great messaging. LOTR has all that as does HP. GOT was a bit too much like The Real Housewives, but it had enough of what I like....so that I hung in there.
The line I like most from LOTR is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Tolkien. It is a line from the Hobbit movie that did not appear in the books.
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.This so much more profound than anything in the babble.

This is super off-topic, but I thought HP didn't handle magic in a very consistent way. One moment, it's polymorph and stupify, the next it's time travel (a godlike power when used creatively, just ask Dr Who) and death curses.
Magic is a dangerous thing to add to a story because it can serve too much as a deus ex machina. So when an author builds a story where magic is central, I expect it to have certain rules and limitations. In the HP universe, just about anything goes at any time, which I guess is its main draw, but I found it very confusing and never knew if the protagonists were in over their heads or not.
My take was that magic in HP is so quirky that it follows rules that wouldn't make sense to muggles or the reader. Also there is the Ministry of Magic that polices misuse. The tone of the story made it very easy for me to just roll with it. With other series though I can totally go all Annie Wilkes.

Yer all a bit weird. Non-conformists. Which begs the question, does non-conformity breed atheism or vice versa. Which do you think came first in your "vision" of your behavior? For me, I think non-conformity led me to atheism, because everyone else was into all this whack-a-doo shit that they didn't even really believe it. The first time I read the babble, my thoughts were, this is fucking nonsense. The second time, pure idiocy. These people don't even believe their own crazy ass shit.
Even as a child in Oregon (up to the 5th grade) I felt a bit out of it. when I moved to Alabama that feeling grew because my nose was rubbed in it. Alabama has bibles growing out of bushes it seems and a church (and bar) several to the block, it seems. I tried going to several churches there but, if anything, it made me feel more of the odd man out, for none of it made much sense. My atheism grew from there.

It is a good question. I can multi-task...sure and yes fast thinkers are applauded by society. Slow and deep thoughts are more to my liking. That disconnected kid last in line as the class follows the teacher down the hallway. The kid who wants to know "why?". Turns out most people don't really know why, LOL. I was that future electrical engineer who figures out voltage is pressure; a capacitor is a holding tank, and a transistor is a valve, and that music is a combination of math, the Fourier series and pattern recognition. Not magical or divine inspiration.
So, they teach science and then they tell us to ignore it! All of a sudden gravity no longer applies or a burning bush can defy entropy and the explanation is to "just have faith". Why? Crickets. That's not good enough. Bye-Bye god, jesus, mary and joe; you are just noise.
Then I came to the realization that so much simian and human interaction IS meaningless noise, devoid of the good stuff. Insecurities, fears, guilt, sex ploys and power plays. And now we have social media to exponentially transmit and retransmit and amplify all that noise. I can spy on it without getting involved. What a mess, the downward spiral towards extinction.

I don't know why adults have such a hard time telling kids that they don't know. Nowadays, you can just tell the kid you'll look it up and get back to them about it, then google it or ask the forum or something. So there's no excuse for telling the kid to be quiet. Even questions that seem dumb can be good teaching moments and it's important to reward intellectual curiosity among kids.
QuoteI was that future electrical engineer who figures out voltage is pressure; a capacitor is a holding tank, and a transistor is a valve, and that music is a combination of math, the Fourier series and pattern recognition. Not magical or divine inspiration.
*head explodes* Ever see those graphs of electricity and magnetism?

Blew my mind!
Music is indeed math and pattern recognition, though I have also heard it called "three chords and the truth". Also, I'm fond of thinking of music as like painting, but painting across a canvas of time rather than space.
QuoteSo, they teach science and then they tell us to ignore it!
Yeah, it drives me nuts that these factoids are pounded into us as kids but then the actual significance behind them seems to erode, so adults retain the barebones basic explanation (heavy stuff weighs more) but not often the more interesting explanations (mass "warps" spacetime and possibly, gravitons are a thing)
QuoteThen I came to the realization that so much simian and human interaction IS meaningless noise, devoid of the good stuff. Insecurities, fears, guilt, sex ploys and power plays. And now we have social media to exponentially transmit and retransmit and amplify all that noise. I can spy on it without getting involved. What a mess, the downward spiral towards extinction.
Touché!

Quote from: Hydra009 on October 14, 2022, 10:58:35 AMThis is super off-topic, but I thought HP didn't handle magic in a very consistent way. One moment, it's polymorph and stupify, the next it's time travel (a godlike power when used creatively, just ask Dr Who) and death curses.
Magic is a dangerous thing to add to a story because it can serve too much as a deus ex machina. So when an author builds a story where magic is central, I expect it to have certain rules and limitations. In the HP universe, just about anything goes at any time, which I guess is its main draw, but I found it very confusing and never knew if the protagonists were in over their heads or not.
They kind of balanced time travel by making it so you couldn't change history. Anything you do with it has to have already happened. And if you bump into another iteration of yourself, something very bad happens to you. So to make the most of it, you have to do what Hermione does, and plan your time with it carefully. You could also only go back a maximum of five hours.
There's also only one time turner left. As long as you ignore The Cursed Child, which every fan should.

QuoteHELL EXPLAINED
The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

I have designed cpu boards using DDR RAM that had to work from -40 to 85 Deg C (-40 to 185 F). For every data word stored at a particular RAM address, the hardware would calculate a redundant code and store it in an extra RAM chip. When the processor went to read the data, it would also read the calculated code and use it to detect and correct errors on the data. Similar codes are used by cell phones to detect and correct errors. It's a fascinating field. The earliest error checking code is called a "parity check" and they just checked for an odd or even number of ones.

LOL Back in the stone age when our home phone was a landline without caller ID or voicemail, we had an answering machine, and used it to screen calls. At one point, I got so tired of bullshit calls, that I recorded a rather abrupt greeting message that included advice for anyone seeking a donation selling something or proselytizing to just piss off. I thought it was funny and pretty effective, but after a day or two my wife strongly advised me to replace it with something less offensive, like restoring the "leave a message after the beep" greeting. She was right, of course. It was better to just quietly ignore the caller, and get on with life.

New, straighter US map:
(https://i.redd.it/m4rgfjz6xox91.jpg)
Pros:
* Clean lines
* Preserves paired states (North Dakota still north of South Dakota, West Virginia still west of Virginia, etc)
* North Carolina displaces Virginia, contains DC (huge win!)
* Tennessee now someone else's problem
* Heavily populated states of Florida, Texas, and California significantly reduced in size
* Maine even Mainer
Cons:
* Rhode Island significantly less islandy
* World lives in fear of rapidly expanding Vermont
* New Jersey somehow still awful

I think many people are so "specialized" in careers, they are almost devoid of other skills. Not too many making our own clothes, soap, growing food, building their own homes, milking the cow or maintaining a water well these days. Hell, many people can't even cook. But yeah, people did pull together in the old days.

Then we kinda drifted into "evolution bad, torture good" territory for a while because some people watched a fictitious action show where torture worked well (ironclad logic) and because some Christians thought some arguments from decades prior would work well if you just obfuscate the source of those claims, and did so in an especially clumsy, obvious way. Surprisingly, that didn't work. So then lots of people pretended that it was doomsday seemingly every other day for a few years.

The Twitter verification scandal is a gift that keeps on giving.
The cities of America are just a bunch of ugly, IMO. Concrete and poorly maintained roads. If you're lucky, the air might be breathable, if they didn't place a chemical plant right next to their residential areas.
We've just had this 'where to go when in first US visit' convo with a friend yesterday, lol. He's planning to make a visit on the Appalachian Trail -not all of it, it's over 3200 something km-, and I'm always in with the Grand Canyon. I hope 'll be able to see it one day. My mind jumps to nature when it's America.
But I think people like to visit places that would make them feel awkward when they're international tourists. Seriously, visiting a foreign country is like a licence to do crazy, stupid, silly stuff. You should do it, lol.
Most countries like ours don't have striptease joints or places like hooters, so not just single men, but secular-liberal people, couples do visit those kind of places. Having said that I never wondered either though.

Both are excellent choices. America has a lot of great natural beauty.
For NC, I'd recommend the Outer Banks (coastal islands), the USS NC in Wilmington, some museums in Raleigh (art, history, science), an actual pig pickin' anywhere you can find it, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, especially during autumn.
Edit - forgot Morehead planetarium, Grandfather Mountain (hope you have no fear of heights), and Sliding Rock (natural waterslide formed from water eroding rock for a very, very long time)

Well, he's defeated or killed multiple gods already. Chaos (God of Destruction), Solaris (Sun God of Time), Dark Gaia (another god of destruction, and also the night), one I can't mention because spoilers, and probably a few others I missed. Achilles wouldn't even be his toughest battle, with that weakness of his.

If I could be filthy stinking rich, I'd love it. I'd never have to work another day of my life. But I probably wouldn't buy a mansion. That'd be too big and require hiring staff to keep it clean. Don't need a yacht either. Small boat for fun? Maybe. If I suddenly became rich, I'd get me a nice car, a decent house, adopt a couple cats, and invest in condos or something so I don't immediately lose my fortune. I'd like to think I'd spend some on charity as well, but lately I'm also kinda like...fuck people. Can't stand them. Leave me alone. lol
At some point, when I'm in a good place financially, I want to adopt some kids too. But I don't know how well I'd do on my own, especially with my tendencies toward emotional distance.

Eventually he'd come back with something - he just wanted to get a rise out of me.

A 400 ounce (27.4 lb.) gold bar. Worth about $700,000 today. In 1350 it would be the equivalent of about 1600 gold nobles. That's 10,667 shillings or £534. That would have been about 60 years of wages for a skilled craftsman such as a mason or master carpenter. 30 years for a priest. 4 years for the king's chief armorer. 3 years of rent income for a minor noble with 800 acres of land. 2 months of income for the Bishop of Winchester who took home £4,000 annually, or the equivalent of $2 million a year in today's dollars.
So the 27.4 lb. gold bar wouldn't make you rich, but it would be enough to live better than most for the rest of your life.

Who do you sell it to, though? You can't just go to a random vendor in a random town and sell your gold bar to them, because they won't have enough to trade for it. And of course, there's a big risk of somebody just robbing you. Gold is also very heavy. Chugging a gold bar around barehanded would be very exhausting.
Well, how about taking a how-to-do-it book for things like advanced (for that time) weapons, medicines, growing stuff, armor, soaps--subjects like that. I has to have easy instructions and pictures.
Or a history book for that time frame--that way one can pick a person to hitch their own star to. :)

One of the medieval history buffs I watch went over the whole time travel scenario. He concluded that even if language or germ problems could be resolved, living in a society heavily influenced by familial ties would be near impossible as a kinless outsider. If you have anything of great value, you'd be robbed very quickly with no legal recourse.

That'd be nice, but you'd still have to scrounge up the raw materials (no easy feat) and beg some guildmaster to make it for you (harder still), and they'd almost certainly Zuckerburg you out of your profits.

Even a very detailed and specific history book would leave a lot out, but you'd know the approximate dates of the rise and falls of various kings, which even assuming that history can't be changed, wouldn't necessarily help you very much.

True, but one look at your weird clothes (assuming time travel doesn't make you go nude, Terminator style), and you'll instantly stand out. Some cultures might mistake you for a god. Heck, even if you explained to them that you were a normal human from the future, they'd probably take a great interest in you. The leader of the area might decide to keep you around and entertain them with stories of the future.
I dunno about godhood. If you saw someone wearing weird futuristic clothes, I doubt you'd worship them. You'd just think they're a weirdo or a cosplayer or a venn diagram of the two that's pretty much just a regular circle.
Although...there are people wearing weird but very present-day clothes who do attract a surprisingly deific following...dammit, I am totally not helping my point.
Living in a medieval settlement, people would almost certainly stare at you constantly. Opinions would likely be mixed, but if you do anything to bring disrespect on the local culture or king or church, you'd be either thrown out or killed in a heartbeat. You'd have to assimilate your ass off or work a miracle to get the public on your side. And hooboy, would they have a lot of cultural practices you would NOT like at all (mostly animal cruelty, human cruelty, and misogyny, though maybe some racism if you hit the geopolitical jackpot), so you'd have to be super diplomatic with them.

It may not be during our lifetimes, but they will get it working eventually and it will be the biggest accomplishment ever. The implications are astronomical. We should be throwing 100s of billions at it.

They probably do. Space is pretty vast for us to be the only ones. Are aliens already here on Earth, spying on us, experimenting on us, and doing gods know what else? Nah. Will we find aliens sometime in the future, or will they find us? Maybe. We'll likely both be long gone before first contact is made.

I used to say that too. And instinctively it still feels not unlikely.
But i have come to realize that without knowing how likely or unlikely abiogenisis is to occur, given the right circumstances, it really can't be said that it does seem likely that they exist. If all i have is intuition, i don't really have anything to go off of.
Lets say there are a million trillion inhabitable worlds out there. But what if the chance for abiogenesis is one in a billion trillion?
Onr single point of data, our own existence, does nothing to quantify the magnitude of that chance.

True. We can't quantify how common life is in the universe until we start finding more examples, however it seems more unlikely that Earth is the only planet with life on it. The Earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. When was life thought to have first appeared on Earth? 4.2 billion years ago. That means there was only a period of about three hundred million years where Earth had no life on it. That might sound like a big number, but that's just a tiny sliver of Earth's history, when it was almost completely covered in magma. It's like the moment Earth had become just hospitable enough to not immediately kill it, life appeared. If life could appear so early in Earth's history, abiogenesis can't be so unlikely to happen that it hasn't happened before, even once, on another planet.
There's a lot we can't know yet. We can't know exactly how likely abiogenesis is to happen. We can't know how likely it is for life to become multicellular. We can't know how likely it is for an alien species to reach human-like intelligence. Especially since we're the only ones to arise in all of Earth's history. But if the chance of life is any bigger than zero, I'm certain there is life on at least one of the planets in the two trillion galaxies in the observable universe.

But you see, there is a fallacy in that line of thinking too.
It was a youtube vid that pointed it out to me.
We think life will probably arise because here on earth it did so pretty much from as soon as the conditions allowed it.
But that again is not telling us more than thr fact that it did so here. It is no more evidence for a 'widely populated' universe than our own existence as is. A single point of data.
This is how the vid explained it. And i am paraphrasing.
Imagine a jail with a million prisoners. All in an individual cell. Each is given a lockpick and is told they must escape their individual cell within one minute, before a deadly gas is released.the prisoners are not aware that orhers are in the same predicament. Only that they are.
Imagine that 999.999 of them can't open the lock. Because opening the lock with a lockpick would take you on average 30 minutes of blindly trying.
And imagine that 1 guy managed to do it in like 20 seconds. If he were unaware of the others failing so often, and he was asked if it was easy to escape with the lockpick. He would say it was. Perhaps even first try.
But this would simply be a statistical anomaly.
Perhaps life is like that: it has to arise quickly to become, before it's small window of chance is snuffed out. And wether we took 20 seconds or 59 seconds is barely any difference in time and likelihood of happening. Anything within that one minute is extremely unlikely. But if that is the only window of opportunity, all prisoners who survived, if any, would think it was an easy lock that was clearly pickable within the alloted time. After all, for our lone survivor: He didn't even need the 'extra 40 seconds'! It happened so fast and easy.
Just like any life that sprang forth would think life would spring forth as soon as it could, because it did so for them.
The quickness with which life arose, does not necessaryly imply that life does when the conditions are right. For it could be that in most cases it won't and if it doesn't quickky, it will never. Perhaps the window for life to appear and to begin a cycle of selfsustaining those conditions for continuing life are so incredibly small.
If that makes sense. I feel like i am botching up the final part.
And still. I do feel like it is likely that in different places life sprang into being.
But without any more data and feeling like i should be equally stern in my intuition in this, essentially an unbased feeling, as i am towards anyone who has such an unbased feeling towards the existence of a deity, i feel like i can't say more than that i am agnostic to this question. With no rational way to justify my belief or disbelief in the matter.

The problem with that argument is it just doesn't take the shear size of the universe.
We think there are about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets orbiting stars in the observable universe. That's 10 septillion planets. If 1 in a million of those planets have life, there are 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10 quintillion) planets with life.
If it is 1 in a billion with life, there are 10,000,000,000,000,000 planets with life.
If it is 1 in a trillion with life, there are 10,000,000,000,000 planets with life.
If it is 1 in a quadrillion with life, there are 10,000,000,000 planets with life.
Even if it is just 1 in a quintillion (1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000) with life, there are still 10 million planets with life in the universe.
But we don't know. It could be be just us. The odds are there is something else out there somewhere though.

I would think that, given the amount of potential life we are finding across just our Solar System, that "life" in some form or another is probably more likely the norm where it's possible than not.

Actually, it removes the size of the universe from the equation.
Exactly BECAUSE we don't know the chance for life occuring on a planet that technically has the proper circumstances qt one point or another.
Because we can't tell what the chance for abiogenesis is in such a situation, you can't logically infer the probability of life being elsewhere in the universe.
What you are saying here is exactly why i instinctively feel there must be life somewhere else. But if we use your numbers rather than mine, it would be like saying that if 'what if the chance for qbiogenesis is one in a quintillion times quintillion'.
Does that seem likely to me? Not really. At least not intuitively.
But can you logically infer that the chance for abiogenesis taking place given the 'correct circumstances' is large enough, dven given a quintillion possible worlds, that it would become likely? No. No you can't. We have to rely on our intuition to say the number of inhabitable worlds is far greater than the chance for abiogenesis to occur, for it to be likely to have other life out there somewhere. It may very wel be, but we have nothing to base it on. (It may be almost 'infinitely small'.)
And if intuition is all we got, i'm not going to put any money down on this. It is far too easy to fool human intuition.

Yeah, I don't think we can predict the odds until we understand the process better. I know a lot of smart people do assume there has to be alien life somewhere, given the incomprehensible numbers. I lean that way but also think it is still possible the odds are infinitesimally small. If it does turn out the universe(s) is(are) infinite, well then it is a sure thing by definition.

That's the real issue, given the vast distances involved. Even trying to communicate, like with SETI just receiving, one has to consider how many different communications protocols (starting with spark gap, up to Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, or even Digital Spread Spectrum); we'd be unlikely to have a system to receive the signal(s), let alone detect them, given the way EM radiation disperses through space.

I'll grant that life, at least simple life, may be out there, but it took about 3.5 billion years for life to even reach the multicellular stage here on Earth. I'm not willing to assume there's anything else like us in the observable universe, not without evidence.

So, yeah. Somehow I think things like this are better if there's a clever solution. But, life isn't always clever, is it?
Even if there's intelligent life out there, it cannot have detected any radio signals from us yet, unless it's very close, less than about 100 light years or so. If they have really good telescopes they might know that some sort of life is here, but they can't yet know of our technological capabilities.

If you slice diagonally thru the top third of the first apple and continue through the bottom third of the 2nd apple, no one has to die. You are left with two 2/3 size chunks for two people and two 1/3 size chunks for the third person.
2/3 + 2/3 + 2x(1/3) = 2

See, I don't buy that because it really isn't all that clever, either. Almost as straightforward as sharing two apples with two people. That and the pieces are unlikely precise. The riddle implies percision, which eyeballing 1/3 of an apple will not have.
No, I think the real solution to the riddle when it was written is the suicide option or maybe one of the other joke options. In fact, I think the original riddle didn't have the one cut from a knife stipulation and the solution was "make applesauce." This must have evolved from that one. So I think it is a joke. I will hold this belief until the day I die. *checks calendar*

Ah, one death probably was the intended "clever" answer, but you know the Japanese are famous for their blades and knife skills. Yeah, you pay for the show at those restaurants, but I do like when they catch a shrimp on their hat. Only two people getting to eat apple is not really a fair sharing solution.

At least American football doesn't take place in a stadium hastily put together by modern slaves, working in extreme heat, sleeping in filthy camps with very limited space, with an unknown number of those people dying making not only the stadium, but the entire city surrounding it.

Definitely an issue overlooked by the meme maker, who presumably just wanted to poke fun at someone making a simple math error.

I know twitter has some grander good that it does: warn people of earthquakes and stuff.
But can't those few things just find a different outlet?
Twitter was digital cancer even before the chief twit decided to make it ten times worse. Let him be the king of the shitheap. Lord of the ashes of a dream he himself torched down.
Fuck musk. Fuck twitter. Fuck all of this digital diarrhea.
Sorry, it's just: why does this even matter? Twitter is the ultimate form of giving power to your own fears and problems.
Let it dissapear up it's own nazi asshole as the black hole singularity of right wing bullshit implodes on itself.
Just don't care.

Eventually, they'll have to. I read something recently about one such service expressing dismay at the fecal-smeared playground it's becoming (I might be paraphrasing a bit)
The problem is that its competitors are not as simple or intuitive or nearly as popular. But that'll change and this problem will Skype itself out.

I agree 100%. I never found Twitter a good experience. With the character limit, it was designed to be superficial. I get that many people love drama and attention and they want to be on the cutting edge of trends. I understand people need social media to promote their products, brands, lifestyles, and politics. Yes, there is a lot of money involved. What I'm really, really sick of is Twitter and Elon Musk dominating every corner of the news.
I have never considered using twitter--or instagram or any other form of social media. Tried facebook and became almost instantly bored; stopped going to my page after a week.

Because it's sensational, it's brief and so designed to have a verbal rat race.
What do you call short verbal quarrels people have with strangers in streets in English? Twitter is exactly that.
The bad thing is a platform you described that warns/informs people doomed to fall in that way, if it's to be functional as to reach the widest audience. So in the end, again, basic human culture.
My guess is that in the near future, all kinds of main stream social media will cease to be anonymous. Maybe then it would change, but again, not sure.
I wish its character limit were a tad longer, but imo, there's a reason why we're reading jokes and short, pithy exchanges over twitter rather than chapter-length missives on blogs or walls-o-text on forums like ours.
Easy to read and follow and yes, sensational to boot. I wish it were less toxic, but apparently, toxic people love that format as well. And unfortunately, even the most fervent anti-troll moderator is helpless before billionaire admins.

Bicker? Squabble? Neither of which are widely used.
Having an argument? Nah, that implies a somewhat lengthy heated exchange between two people.
I don't think there's a word for the rapid-fire and simultaneously largely unreasonable and extremely heated exchanges between strangers on the internet. But I have little doubt that someone will invent one.

Tory government won't touch a rejoin effort with a forty yard stick. In their eyes, it would make them look foolish and irresponsible.
Irony at its finest.
Plus i think they'll have to work to reallignment with the european single market for a while, ro privz they mean it. And to make sure the ideaolgical jump isn't too far for the hard-line brexiteers. It will be a slow crawl rather than a sprint.
Honestly, if the eu were to accept. Their 'cost' would be minimal, because their greater cost arises from the bat-shit insane position they are in now. Any adminstrative cost to rejoin would be peanuts to this ongoing national self harm.
But only one member needs object: veto, and the UK is (for then) barred from joining, even if the UK were ready to rejoin.
And while there are many and obvious reasons for welcoming them back. I would hope we do so cautiously.
Honestly, the port of antwerp-bruges managed to come better out of brexit than we were before. We managed to nab a bigger slice, be it from a smaller pie, but we got a bigger slice. Which is ole ofour largest parts of the economy.
Now, selfish reasons aside, because we see the strength of the union as an evrn more important factor. And in that regard, adding the uk population to our market, if they adhere to the single market and forgo their other, worse, trade deals, is a good thing. It would also solve the northern ireland problem.
But i would jope we get one mjor concession before letting them rejoin. Namely, a prerequisite that they can't have another brexit for a period of, let's say, 20 or 30 years.
The entire brexit-mania hurt us more than their actual departure. I find this not an unreasonable demand.
But: that'll make the pridefull brexiteers even more feevent in not rejoining. They'd take it like an insult.

Amazing/good/okay scifi series that was hugely popular, basically HBO's flagship for a couple years before dropping off.
Famously ended with the plot in a mess but promising one final test/epiphany to set everything straight in the final season, a season that very nearly went into production before the show was abruptly cancelled.

In December, a scientific study showed that gas stoves are associated with asthma and other respiratory conditions (https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/09/business/gas-stove-ban-federal-agency/index.html) (apparently breathing in gas fumes is somehow bad for your health). How closely associated? About 13% of current childhood asthma is attributable to gas stove use. That's a pretty damning statistic.
So a federal agency is looking into all the options, including a ban. Note: nothing has been decided yet, but presumably, the big bad gobermet won't go to gated communities and/or trailer parks decked out in SWAT gear, kick in the door, and force god-fearing Republicans at gunpoint to install new Greta-approved emasculating electric ranges instead.
I kid, but this idea of "government overreach" is laughable, especially from the people who want the government to regulate pregnancy and call for genital inspections regarding women's' sports. Yikes.
And as someone with asthma myself, that stuff is no joke and it's a hard thing to grow up with, especially when you suffer "invisibly" from other people's POV. I can't count the times I've been told to be calm or brave or think positively or this that and the other while struggling to breathe. They mean well, of course. But the simple fact is that it's a physical problem with a physical solution, much like a broken leg or a nail sticking through one's foot. Imagine saying to someone in that situation to just be calm and think positively. At best, it just keeps the person from running around in panic and further hurting themselves, it doesn't do anything for the underlying problem.

<Pulls rescue inhaler out of pocket, brandishes.> Interestingly enough, we have a gas stove and gas heat, but my asthma doesn't react to them. I'll tell you what does. When we bought this house in '02, it had carpet. I was sick as hell, had two inhalers- one steroidal and one albuterol. I was using both,
2 puffs, 5 times a day. Once we got the carpet out and laminate floors in, the problem basically went away. The culprit? Cat dander. Republicans are like puppies chasing their tails, but without the cute, since they cause so much trouble.
My family could never figure out the cause of my asthma. And it triggered at the oddest times - heavy exercise, respiratory disease (cold/flu, croup was especially fun :/), possibly some seasonal influence (oct/nov was the worst). And secondhand cigarette smoking - back in the day that stuff was everywhere - is a lot worse on me than other people.
All I know is that changing drugs really made a huge difference - I went from about 50-60%ish lung capacity to upwards of 90%. Felt like a new lease on life. Eventually, I just started having attacks less and less, and less severely, and didn't need a rescue inhaler almost at all.
Every now and then, an attack happens and it's very upsetting to go back to wheezing again (covid was no picnic), but for the most part, I'm fine.

I think it's simpler than that. Both are just a shortening of the word "mathematics" and for reasons that escape reason, the Brits noticed the word is plural and decided to keep in plural in the shortened version and we decided that "maths" sounded stupid and didn't do that.

The math is off by several orders of magnitude. I won't bore anyone with the math, so let's just think about this logically.
Let's assume for a second that the Kirksville Aquatic Center contains about half a percent of all the water in the Atlantic Ocean. And there are thousands of such pools on the surface of the planet. Does it seem reasonable that human-built pools on the surface of the planet contain many more times the water than the ocean?

I get that Kirksville, Missouri is a long way from the Atlantic, but a quick look around has numbers like 310,410,900 cubic kilometers and that leads to an order of magnitude around 1 x 10
20 gallons and growing every day....But when Noah was floating his ark with two kangaroos, 6,000 years ago, obviously all the oceans joined together an all the pools were just part of the ocean. So there.

I don't know. I only see three arms, and the size of the arm in the middle doesn't match either of them. It does match green's skin tone, though. Brown's arm is darker. The perspective is confusing. I don't know where the missing arm is. lol

I really don't get why they are so hung up on this. It's so stupid.
Notice that Brown's left side is shadowed. That arm would look darker.

There are many, many definitions for it, but since the conservatives use it as a derogatory term, I claim it all the time.

"Woke" is "the belief [that] there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.". With that broad a definition, virtually everyone is "woke"!

In what way? Pizza Hut really did have a Book It! program, in fact it's still on offer. And you really could get credit for reading a bunch of books (don't recall the amount) and did get an individual-sized pizza out of it. Not exactly a huge windfall, but for a little kid, having your very own anything was a BIG deal. And definitely not habit forming in any destructive way *installs a bookcase-shaped pizza storage stand in the freezer, then proceeds to label each one - several bear the same date*

Jesus. You've gotta teach your pets boundaries. Cats are pretty easy. Just get onto them if they jump on something or scratch something they're not supposed to. Offer them alternative places to climb and scratch. Dogs are much harder to get to behave.
*Knock knock*
Dog: "Kill mode activated! Must protect property from intruder!"
*Comes in.*
"Oh, my dog! Hi! You're my new favorite person! I'm so excited! Mind if I smell your crotch? How's your sense of balance? I'll jump on you to test it."
Dogs are so easy to get along with because of their pack mentality. Dog playfulness/jumping/licking is just their way of getting attention, establishing a rapport, or checking up on you.

Dogs don't understand manners and they'll behave in ways people don't like unless corrected. You either gotta tell the owner to get a hold on their dog or brace yourself for the 25lb fur cannonball.

Yep, I love that as well. That whole 1860s French Impressionist wave was great. Erik Satie is another composer I enjoy enough to learn his stuff. He basically invented ambient music, and man...he was a very quirky fella.
Interestingly enough Joe Walsh also covered that song I posted below. I guess he was a fan of Ravel. I read this was a tribute to his little girl who was killed in a crash.

The movies in question (https://screenrant.com/movies-without-female-characters/#the-lord-of-the-flies) are almost all decades old and set in military situations where women are not likely to be present (warships during the age of sail, submarines, etc). That and Lord of the Flies, which is of course an all-boys class so it makes perfect sense that there's no women.
This article is supposed to be engender disapproval, but honestly, it makes sense why they are the way they are.

"Weird" Al is a pretty good guy and very entertaining, so making him normal is punishment because it takes away his ability to be outlandish and entertaining (i.e. taking away something someone likes as punishment for bad behavior)

I actually think that's a large reason I cant get into GoW (and the newer Assassin's Creed) - I barely tolerated it with the Witcher and only because the world is engaging from the first minute.
I hate to bring up Ghost of Tsushima yet again (no I dont), but that's one thing the game got so right - there isn't a lot of RPG elements despite having quite a few skills to choose from and armor having different stats; you didn't "need" these things, they just made the way you wanted to play a bit easier - you can ignore it and be perfectly fine as well.

That drives me crazy, too. Bullet sponges. Inflated time-to-kill. I've learned to recognize this as a kludged "fix" for bad game design.
Sometimes, the devs didn't have enough time to build a lot of interesting, engaging content in their game and are afraid of people running out of content and quitting the game. The solution? Make progression very, very, very slow by making mobs take much longer to kill.
World of Warcraft did a lot of this shortly after release. Not so much the inflated HP, but just keeping the player bogged down with as much tedium as possible - needing to take a break after combat, sprawling cities that require lots and lots of time for players to get what they want (like skill rank up, that stuff can and should be automatic), very time-consuming fast travel (groups love it), etc. Basically, they made it so as much time as possible in the game was spent not playing the game - not fighting, not exploring, not interacting with other players.
My brother was playing some Japanese action RPG and he excitedly told me that he found a new item that let him do "2 full HP bars of damage"! (of course without telling me how many HP bars the enemies normally have) I found that less exciting and more just kinda sad. Because unless the enemy is some boss character or something, no enemy should have multiple HP bars, that's just a way to disguise bullet-sponginess. If I showed him how much damage he's really doing with a normal HP bar, it would be agonizingly slow.

Depends on the cat. Had one that loved it. He also hated to be picked up but loved to be held. He whined when I would pick him up but then he would just start purring. Cats are weird.

In general, yes. Cats expose their bellies as a display of trust, by being vulnerable in front of you. They don't actually expect you to touch them. Some cats actually like it, though. My parents have one that likes it, but I don't trust that cat. They'll randomly snap at you for no reason.

How did you pick them up? They might have just felt insecure while being lifted. Was it with two hands or one? Did you grab just under their front legs or did lift both front and back?
It's also possible they just didn't like it being your idea and not theirs. My parents have one orange cat that hates being picked up, because you're interrupting his very important business. But if you're sitting in a chair, he'll come and sit on your lap. It's not just that we're sitting down, either. If we grab him and then sit down, he'll still whine until we let him go.

They respond to signals, certainly. When I'm interacting with mine and have to stop I cluck my tongue and they just walk off. They are easily trained. Using that training can be iffy, of course. As T.S. Eliot said "A cat is NOT a dog."

Not just any God, but Jesus specifically for some reason. The logic is that just about any unusual phenomenon points to Jesus in particular - not Odin, not Zeus, not Perun, not Brahma. It's nothing but confirmation bias writ large.

That's 15.5°C for non-Americans. For me, that's T-shirt weather. For people who perhaps have an iron deficiency or some circulatory system problem, that's sweater/jacket weather.
15 C in t-shirt? No. Brr. But then I've seen people in t-shirts in 2 C, London. It was October. Florida is probably hotter than where I live though. But too much sunshine days and hours in summers.
I think it is about getting used to the climate in a region too. When I was living in Istanbul, I was used to colder weather. But of course the city is surrounded with inner seas, it's not really cold weather. I haven't seen snow in 15 years since I moved to Aegean site. Just in the air.
Also when I lost significant amount of weight after the pandemic, I've started to get cold and the doctor told me it would be about the B12 vitamin levels following a diet to lose weight. And as the tests confirmed it's low (fell around to 250), I thought that would be the case. She gave me B12 shots, and it's now over 700, but I still get much more colder than I did at my previous weight in winter. Especially my feet. Now, I am wearing fuzzy boots at home with fuzzy socks. And it doesn't get really cold here.
In 1980 I moved from Montana, where it was about 20° below zero F, to Dallas, where it was 32° F, and was wearing a T-shirt when I got off of the plane. It felt balmy!

It's really sad that such a great number of people are willing to vote people like MTG into office. They must be as dumb as she is.
The US is spending far less than 1% of its GDP to protect democracy in Europe from direct aggression. That's a bargain.
And while the $113 billion figure she quotes sounds like a lot, the US spent just over $1 trillion in Iraq and just over $2 trillion in Afghanistan. Any guesses as to which of the three will have a better payoff?
Edit - just saw the 6 billion figure. She is waaaaay less deserving of a rebuttal than I thought. That's like a "why doesn't the billionaire give everyone a million dollars?" level of math illiteracy.

Aside from not wanting to serve, most young Americans are unfit even if they want to join. I read an article on Military.com (https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/09/28/new-pentagon-study-shows-77-of-young-americans-are-ineligible-military-service.html) late last year that cited a recent study conducted by the Pentagon's office of personnel and readiness. According to the study, 77 per cent of young Americans age 17-24 are unfit for military service due to factors such as being overweight, drug and alcohol abuse, or having mental or physical health problems.

Believing the war with Russia ended when the Soviet Union fell has the potential to go down as the biggest mistake in American history due to the sheer geo-political implications it will have if we lose it.
You don't return to peaceful living until your enemy is completely and utterly defeated, that they no longer posed a threat.

This one's pretty easy if you stop and think:
30 + 1/8x + 1/4x = x
30 + 1/8x + 2/8x = x
So 30 = 5/8x
Multiply everything by 8, so 240 = 5x
Divide everything by 5, so x = 240/5 which is 48
If you say so.

Alright guys, I'm not sure if the two of you are kidding here, but you ought to be able to look at that and come up with the right answer without a lot of work. If 1/8a + 30 = 1/4a then you know 1/8a is 30 right off the bat. 30 + 30 = 60. 60 X 4 =240. The book was 240 pages long.
But let's do the math. Solve for a
1/8a+30=1/4a
Step 1: Subtract 1/4a from both sides.
1/8a+30−1/4a=1/4a−1/4a
−1/8a+30=0
Step 2: Subtract 30 from both sides.
−1/8a+30−30=0−30
−1/8a=−30
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/(-1).
(8/−1)*(−1/8a)=(8/−1)*(−30)
a=240

At the risk of being a complete dumbass.
30 + 1/8 = 6/8
Because 2/8, or 1/4, remains for the final day.

30=5/8x

"daddy long legs" was in quotes because they are cellar spiders (which I know), but most people seem to call them that.
They're also not particularly venomous. Adam Savage on Mythbusters had one bite him to little ill effect and the examined toxin was no where near as potent as black widows.

I'll keep this in mind when writing my book. Naming things is hard. Much easier to just say, "Oh, this place? This is Miner Town. We call it that because it's built next to a mine. For some reason, we get a bunch of creepy visitors here who are always disappointed. Don't know why."
Fuck, that's good. I'm using that one. lol
The sounds words create are often more important than the meaning of the words when naming things in my opinion. And of course what those sounds evoke in people. It's conventional. The first obvious ones that come to mind:
Gandalf - Saruman --- Gryffindor - Slytherin --- Ged
But of course, breaking the rules creatively and effectively would give the best results as usual, I think.

I dunno about Miner Town, but Coal Valley would work. Highvale mine if you want to sound classy. Black Thunder mine if you want to sound cool af. All those are real places.
For small towns, I find it best to name them after the founder (Jamestown, Bakersfield) or a prominent feature (Pinecrest, Boulder, Riverbend) or an abstract concept (Paradise, Liberty, Independence). Big Cities are of course named after more famous people (Columbia, Elizabethtown)
Or to show a blending of cultures, name it partially in one language and partially in another: Rio Scarlet, Azure river, Mont Verde

Trump: "I met Superman the other day. Great man, great fella. He was like, 'I'm so super duper excited to meet the greatest President of these United States ever, except maybe Lincoln. Please don't tell anyone I am Clark Kent.' And I tells him, 'Don't worry, Superman. No one is as good at keeping secrets as me.' In fact, true story, there was this one time I showed up at Area 52, and they made me swear not to talk about the aliens they keep there. Apparently, Area 51 is a red fish...red...whatever. They keep the real aliens at the other place. Top secret. Can't tell anyone."
He'd be more vague to string people along:
"Have you heard about Area 52? In Area 51, we've got stuff that you wouldn't believe! Everybody is saying it! You can open the hangar doors -and magneficient doors I might add- you open the doors and -solid steel titanium, just beautiful- and you see -I designed those doors you know, back in the 80s, or maybe 90s, 1992, I think..."

Celery works some serious digestive wonders. I put it in my salads and some pasta dishes now. It's as easy and simple as pushing a pillow out a window now.
Confession bear: I also found out that if you eat enough raw red onions (like past the point of uncomfortably) it can temporarily overwhelm your taste buds and kinda messes up your mouth for a couple of days. Your palette kinda tastes like dry bark until it recovers. And no, nothing helps. You just gotta tough it out.
Sadly, I can no longer eat onions (or tomatoes!). Truly an annoying situation, but the reduction in gastrointestinal discomfort is worth it. I used to enjoy a burger with a 1/3 pound beef patty, a thick slab of grilled red onion, a thick slice of beefsteak tomato, and a bunch of leaves off the top of a head of green leaf lettuce, with a slice of cheese to top it off. Days long gone.

You don't have to kick current home owners out of their houses to give them to the homeless. Actually, some areas have programs which provide housing to the homeless, and it surprisingly saves the city money, as well as heavily incentivizes those people to stay away from harmful drugs, so that they may keep their homes.

I don't know what it is like now, but in the past, in Hungary (my wife has relatives there), if there was a vacant room in your house (like a family member died) the gov would assign another person(s) to that room, relation to you being meaningless.

Quartering of Royal troops in colonials' home without even a polite fiction of it being voluntary was one of the sparks of the Revolutionary war in North America.
Quote from: Blackleaf on March 16, 2023, 08:27:12 PMYou don't have to kick current home owners out of their houses to give them to the homeless. Actually, some areas have programs which provide housing to the homeless, and it surprisingly saves the city money, as well as heavily incentivizes those people to stay away from harmful drugs, so that they may keep their homes. So quite literally, the solution to homelessness is giving people homes.
Yeah, I know, I was being facetious. 🧐
Maybe if they built homes that people actually need and can afford instead of bullshit homes for the speculator bubble because they make more money.

Well, when you put American CHAIN fast food there it sounds like a bad taste and stupid, but I think everyone does that in foreign vacations. First because they kind of get tired looking for good, cheap food in an alien place and also because of curiosity of how does that taste in here? I did try Turkish food almost everywhere I can find.
To me, real, traditional American fast food is old fashioned diners you have, that cook esp. pork in ever shape, egg and what it is called you make grating potatoes? And serve all that with a huge piece of meat. It was kind of exotic to me when I first ate that. I'd never seen that much animal protein in one plate. Eggs served with meat is very culturally different.
Or think about Texas rib barbecue. That's American. I haven't been to Texas, but I ate in some town in Oregon having a microbrew beer festival the day I arrived. Gawd, I wept. I'd never had 11% al in beer before. Next morning, I've got why they serve in small glasses and why it's not a common thing. Also I'd never thought I'd like dark beer with hint of chocolate or whiskey. Also shots of whiskey with beer a American thing I guess. We only have shots of tequila.
I wonder if there is a diner like that in Paris. There must be.
Going out of the gate at Yokosuka Naval Base you could see most of the US fast food joints. I was there '81-'83.
When I'm on vacation, I always prefer to go to local restaurants. Places I can't find in my own home city. However, if I were to go to Japan, I'd probably visit a McDonald's. I read their version of McDonald's is very different. There, it's not seen as this cheap, low-quality burger joint, but more of a delicacy. It's a place to go on dates, to celebrate your child's birthday, etc. Their menu includes many things that are not offered in America, often smothered in teriyaki sauce.
I sent a picture of the billboard menu at McDonald's home once. Big Mac $11.95, other prices consistent with that.
It was in Hong Kong.

For example, there were ROMs that simply converted rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates or calculated the RMS magnitude of a vector.
The last RADAR I worked on had a dozen DSP chips doing Giga Floating Point Operations per second.

Pity it's not actually illegal in the US, per se.
Skip to 53:34 to see this bit. It made me incredibly angry.
Yeah... Slavery never really went away. First there was the Jim Crow era, where bullshit like "loitering" was made illegal. Vaguely defined crimes that essentially just made being black a crime, so they could put them back to work as prisoners.
Nowadays, it's not much better. I used to come with my grandpa to a variety of state and private prisons. They were almost all black. Most of them were there for nonviolent drug charges. Not all prisons put their prisoners to work, but a lot of them do. Slavery under a different name.
Oh, and then there's the sex slave trade. Very illegal, yet alive and well in the United States. We don't have a tendency to provide meaningful assistance to the victims when they are freed either.
It's just the colour. Otherwise the designs are the regular designs. They haven't developed. That's the joke I think.

I thought it had been taken out of context and the body of the opinion piece was respectable even though the headline was nuts. It was not taken out of context. The body literally reads like villain monologue.
"yes, war is hell — but have you considered the alternatives?" WAT.
It also uses some very suspicious logic to allege that humans built complex societies from simple ones through violence (just because the two things happened together doesn't necessarily mean one caused the other and more violent definitely doesn't equate to more complex, as any historian will tell you) and that the overall decline of violence since the Stone Age is somehow related to warfare. The amassing of wealth/resources in modern times is also somehow assumed to be related to warfare and not the invention of complex tools to more efficiently extract and refine these resources.

Another complained that the restaurant had too much space. I guess they wanted to feel like a sardine, rubbing shoulder to shoulder with other customers.

Yeah, I've seen it. That's due to an optional "stacking" rule. Ultimately, you can play however you want, but typically a draw 2 or draw 4 is exacerbated by a skipped turn. Especially in the physical version.

Yeah, specifically they were aghast that he asked for spicy/dijon mustard and not the *real* American yellow mustard (the worst of all mustards | pro: dirt cheap | con: there's a reason why it's dirt cheap)
Fun facts about mustard:
* originally cultivated in the Indus River Valley
* the romans were the ones who really started experimenting with it as a condiment (hence deviled eggs)
* mustard (along with horseradish, wasabi, and of course, peppers) activates the human capsaicin receptors called TRPV1
* mustard grains are nearly flavorless when intact, but when chewed or ground, release chemicals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_oil_bomb) that evolved to irritate mammals and discourage further predation. Like many other things, humans LOVE stuff intended to harm us and widely cultivate it for that exact reason. Come on, mother nature, do your wurst!
* seriously, the chemical reaction for the "mustard bomb" is fascinating - essentially, two compounds are stored separately within the mustard plant and then when chewed or mangled, these compounds interact and BAM! Flavor explosion! It's like the plant equivalent of the bombardier beetle. Mustard plants really really do NOT want to be snacked on! Too bad!
Btw, try this mouth-watering sandwich: wheat bread with sliced ham, a slice of swiss or muenster cheese, sliced tomato, and whole ground mustard.

I find this interesting. Many years ago, I think it was after the "war of the worlds" movie with Tom cruise that I suspected perhaps we could battle these highly tech machines with simpler weaponry as their sophisticated sensors would be able to easily trace bullets through sound and/or radar and immediately fire and wipe out the person firing, but they could not trace an arrow from a crossbow, so I wrote a short story where "we" used wooden arrows to fire into every moveable joint the machines had to the point they started to fail. Of course in my story "we" won and passed along the info and eventually the world was spared thanks to crossbows. Pretty sure the simpleness would not actually work, but it was a fun lil story to imagine.

Very expensive blue blood. Limulus amebocyte lysate ain't cheap! Gram-negative bacteria causes their blood to solidify into a sort of gel. So medical products that come into contact with blood are tested on horseshoe crab blood first to make sure it's safe. Otherwise, they have to test on rabbits, which is even more expensive and time consuming and really upsets animal rights groups.

Equating Leftists with Communists just shows how dishonest they are. And this has been my experience with Conservatives. They do not attempt to consider things from their opposition's perspective. They do not understand Liberals and they don't want to. You can find this pattern with every single issue the two sides disagree on. Conservatives do not understand the Pro-Choice stance. They just call us baby killers and do not engage at all beyond just demonizing the opposition. They're willfully ignorant.

Quote from: the_antithesis on May 04, 2023, 10:49:17 AMWhat about Twilight?
Twilight is a vampire romance novel for teenager girls that created a deadly hysterical fandom approximately 15 years ago. It's written by a Mormon mom. 3 or 4 books not sure. 30-35 thousand vocabulary. I've read them actually, but I don't remember a thing probably because there is nothing to remember. One book gets read in a few hours.
Anyway, they made these into movies and one of them opens with the beautiful, Fire and Ice poem of Frost. Don't remember if the book had it. So I meant, let's not mention it to the poet because Zilla was 'paging him'. The lines in that poem have more vocabulary, meaning and literature than all those books combined.

If I remember correctly, Light uses his father's credentials to use the police database for access to classified information, knowing that it would draw L closer to him. If he hadn't done that, L would have had a much harder time narrowing suspects down to him. Very convenient for the plot, but also very stupid. Give me a Death Note.

Yep. Very stupid, careless move. Your chances of being caught are basically nil unless you act in a very consistent or unique manner. Light did just that initially.

Oh, you were seriously asking.
I believe that Dune is a work of fiction. Therefore, psionic powers exist and the spice gives you/boosts your ability to see the future and similar gubbins so that you can actually pilot a spaceship through the vastness of space and deal with the myriad variables that would drive normal men to drink.
I guess.
Yeah yeah. The Dune wiki has this:
Quoteit could awaken dormant parts of the human mind and encourage expanded sensory perceptions. In some humans (notably the Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators, and some members of the Atreides bloodline), heavy doses led to powerful abilities that include prescience;
QuotePrescience was the term commonly used to describe the ability to see into both the past, present and future. Some awareness spectrum narcotics allowed their users to become prescient. The spice melange was one example among many in the Imperium.
QuoteDuring The Butlerian Jihad, all "thinking machines" were hunted down and destroyed, with a commandment against their ever being used again, "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind". Instead, human Guild Navigators and their spice-warped abilities, serve the function normally performed by a navigational computer. Hence, interstellar travel relies on spice.
So, basically, computers are outlawed, so the spacers use drugs to improve, not diminish their mental abilities in order to do what a computer can. Mathematical calculations for "folding space" and whatever. It sound difficult.
I was just curious about the Guild Highliner "pilots".
However! My current hissy fit is WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY PUT IN THOSE BALLONS???? I mean the ones that purportedly pick up the spice harvesters. The harvesters are the size of a USN destroyer. The lift from four balloons has to be incredible. As in "without credibility".

Remind me to never show you soft scifi (Dune, Star Wars, etc) and like 90% of fantasy. Cause there is plenty of stuff that never gets explained.
Personally, I'm pretty sure that spice was meant as either an allegory for western dependence on oil (only found in certain parts of the world, it is essential for travel and civilization as we know it). That or spice is a metaphor for spirituality (those with it are aware of a greater reality, a third eye sort of thing).
I've been reading scifi since 1963. I like it. But I have no problem complaining about lazy writing.

In speculative fiction, there's a concept called Applied Phlebotinum. Essentially, this stuff powers FTL drives, makes giant robots work, gives the Green Lantern Corps their powers, powers the Death Star, etc. This stuff is the central conceit of basically any fiction story that differs greatly from reality. This is the stuff that makes the plotline possible.
The reason no writer explains it is because no writer can explain it. No one knows how to make FTL or giant robots or planet-destroying lasers a reality (this is the speculative part of speculative fiction, i.e. the "what if?" part).
Sometimes, writers use technobabble to paper over this fact - "we use dilithium crystals to go FTL" or "The Force is created by midachlorians" - but these aren't exactly satisfying answers, are they? Because no answer would be satisfying because these are areas we don't understand, hence the speculation.
Therefore, the writer is forced to leave some stuff unexplained and the audience has to suspend disbelief. This is a basic requirement for enjoying fiction.
That is the greatest sci-fi debate, I guess. Hence the reason of old sci-fi written by scientists or the rare writer who knows what they are writing about is elevated to hardcore or real science-fiction.
But I think fantasy generally has this problem since it exploded.

I agree. Jurassic Park checks those boxes. The storyline seems almost probable when real scientists are growing tissue in labs, creating GMO crops and inventing mRNA vaccines. Sci-Fi that detours into the supernatural just aggravates me. 'Contact' with Jodie Foster comes to mind. Kinda of a "lets show atheists how wrong they are" plot, IMHO.

It's been years...but I recall there was a "Christian" scientist guy that just totally killed the flick for me. I still don't understand how a scientist can have faith in the scriptures. Compartmentalize much? I remember an engineer who had a mantra "act on fact" and then I found out he was a big church dude. So much for that.
Yeah, there was a Christian guy who I swear came up with the concept of negging in that film. Weird that the thing he wants her to have faith in is the schematics for an alien transport ball found in a radio burst. Kinda seems like that's the sort of thing those kind of people don't like at all.
Also, there was one super religious guy who did a suicide attack on the launch site, sooo I dunno what the message is supposed to be about faith, but imo the recurring theme seems to be that faith is an unbalanced approach to new things - either unwarranted confidence or unwarranted hostility.
The character in Contact isn't a scientist, he is not a priest either. (E: I think the character is also a point against organized religion. ) I don't remember if some sort of an education was mentioned -I guess so, I've seen that movie dozens of times- but education alone doesn't make anyone a scientist anyway. Theology? I agree that he is an annoying figure, but I think he is a necessary annoyance. First of all, he is there to balance the murderous religious fanatics -like the man who sabotages the first attempt- and the unethical scientist who worked to undermine, undervalue Arroway's research, and then try to hijack it when she gets lucky. It's the natural background to remind what kind of a world we live in. Actually, even an optimistic one, come to think of it.
As I've said before about this, I never took the concept of 'belief' in the movie as faith in religion or scripture. I honestly don't see any indication of it as message. Just a representation of the human culture. The believer character himself believes in science and scientific knowledge. He believes in a creator, but he is expressing his approach from a point of human relations, can human handle this. 'Are we happier because of it?'. While this doesn't mean anything to people like us -other than annoyance that is- the character is right about how the people sees it.Also it makes the movie watchable to a big audience.
Also, I like that characters are not painted black and white. Because people are not. Even the asshole scientist is right when saying 'science needs to be practical' if we consider the kind of research they make is very high bar, expensive...time consuming. People need to share telescope time, lab time... but then it is just one side. The character is a villain and so the idea of putting a stop to certain research or operations because it is just for science.(For example, space missions...etc. when putting ridiculous amount of money for national security.) In the general context, doesn't matter how incredibly low the odds are receiving en extraterrestrial message, somebody should be 'listening' anyway.
And Sagan is exactly the kind of man, who would go to that kind of messy lengths to provoke skepticism, which I believe all his purpose was in life, including the movie. He knows better about the odds concerning the SETI. The very reason he has endorsed and supported is that because I think he thought, it's the best way to get the skeptic virus into the children and young people, get them excited and curious about science. I agree with him. And if you get that in young people, nothing's gonna defile that. (Astronomy, cosmology, paleo-zoology...)
If you look at the movie, it includes every bullshit scientific research endures. Sure, the whole thing is very fast and epic in the movie, but then it's a kind of scientific theme that doesn't need slow paradigm change that could take decades or even a century. You can't tell the discovery of Higgs boson like that with a bang -no pun intended- and giving all that to the audience, promoting values this movie does. (Dan Brown does it, and it becomes a Vatican freaks story, and makes people think art history is more than shapes and forms with some meaning beyond them...yikes.)
Apparently, the book is very different, I haven't read it, but the movie seems to me designed that way purposefully. Esp. now at this age, I think they knew what they were doing.
About a scientist having faith in scriptures, the father of The Big Bang theory, Lemaitre comes to mind. He is a real Catholic priest. He didn't imagine it -I mean of course he did- he calculated it. He offered an equation. Actually, he also has calculated the Hubble constant a few years before Hubble. He was dismissed by everyone, famously personally by Einstein, and even after Einstein again personally agreed with him and said 'his conscious wasn't right' people continued to dismiss him. According to what current mainstream science offers us, he was the only one in the right track at the time. A catholic priest. That's not a plus in religion, it is plus in science's chart, lol. Because doesn't matter what you believe, you can't beat science and how it works. Fortunately, it is not a Boltzmann kind of story, but it's how it goes. Lemaitre died before seeing his ideas being proved and becoming a profound impact on scientific development.
And about that, just a very short time ago, the questions of Cosmology humanity treated as knowledge today was a fairy tale and the only thing besides there was 'religious inquiry'. I doubt people even knew how to ask them without some 'divine feeling' interrupted their brains.
The world has changed so much in a very short time of period, it is incredible. Fuck religion, it is not even in the odds, but how did humans do with science's gifts to them? Guys, we have just lived through a world pandemic, we are still in it, and in the end the human reaction overall wasn't different than the pandemics of 500 and 300 years ago. We actually have the historical research to prove this.
Personally, I find the James Woods character -the gov man- the most annoying by far. These projects shouldn't be militarized at all. (He is in just for a few minute overall and he is brilliant too. If you consider that he is an atheist with a very high iq and far-right in real life, he is another contrasting character in meta sense, lol.) And then there is Rob Lowe's character. I could slap a guy like that till he faints.

It wasn't the character. It was the actor. Matthew McConaughey is an asshole.

The big anti-vax wave really took me by surprise. The death-bed pleading to finally receive the vaccine (way too late) was a too common, heartbreaking scenario. A very intelligent religious friend of mine routinely says things that has my brain squirming. He can't seem to grasp the difference between random coincidence and statistically proven cause and effect. However, a scientist
must have a handle on that. Yet many of them have brick boundaries where rationality cannot enter. And people often automatically equate wonder with the supernatural. This will always infuriate me.
Movie makers, authors, and politicians go there so often just to "elevate" their fiction. When I detect a tiny hint of that BS, I recoil no matter how good the story is, LOL. I react so fast that maybe I miscomprehend the main point. It is that same feeling when I was young, fearing god, kneeling and doubting in a church pew. It is even worse because now you are bringing gods into the realm of science. It is personal because I lost friends and family simply for what I don't believe.
One thing about superheroes is that they are godlike. More like Greek gods. They don't bother me much because we know it is pure fiction, unlike sci-fi which often endeavors to merge plausible reality with fantasy.

My point is: I don't want the religious viewpoint. It was a let-down. That's all we get, day in and day out. From child indoctrination to 24-hour TV/radio/internet channels to sidewalk preachers, coworkers, a church on every other street, a bible in every hotel room, every 5 minutes an "OMG" or a "god willing", billboards, invocation prayers before secular governmental business and every coin telling me "In God We Trust". It is like pure non-belief just scares the living fuck out of everyone.

And your point is YOUR point. I'm a life-long atheist and liked that the religious were included, like that albino dude, and ultimately shown to be incorrect. Carl knew this would be required.
In the movie this character (Palmer Joss) is in the committee full of people from every field whose job is to choose someone to represent people from earth. The planet where the overwhelming majority of the population believes in a supreme being. Palmer Joss doesn't vote for Arroway and asks her openly if she believes in god, which ultimately prevents her from being chosen, thinking she is not the person in this case. Which she isn't. He is honest about the job he is given, like Arroway which is important about what they are telling, they both are unlike Drumlin the piece of shit playing to the politics to get on the mission.
But after the first attempt has gone the drain with the bombing and loss of life, the theologian realizes that the reason he didn't vote for Arroway was a good legitimate reason, but not true in his case. The real reason is he just doesn't want her to go because she is not likely to come back alive from that kind of a mission. He is in love with her. That's it. And he apologizes profusely before she leaves.

OK. First of all, you don't represent the majority. This is not an obscure, low budget indie sci-fi for a fandom. This kind of movie is made for the general audience. Secondly, what kind of a realistic conflict/relief you expect them to build without that character? Where do you get the religious message in the movie?
You just want them to impose a certain point? So the movie should have preached a certain thing instead of giving the choices; provide a comparison and pointing out the rational one? Because it does point out the rational one. It's very obvious what's right or correct or wrong in the movie. And from multiple points. When we watch the movie, we the audience is the only side that knows what really happens, who is right and correct or wrong from the beginning till the end.
Do you really think Sagan would agree to do something along the lines you wanted? The whole point is to inspire people to question things for themselves, not preaching them as religion does. Nobody can teach that to a person. They got to go there themselves.
World is not divided between religious suicide bombers and Arroways. They are both minorities. Very little ones. Most people are good, ordinary, and they just want to live their lives away from conflict. They do not desire to interrupt great scientific endeavours with violence to give some religious message. Most religious people are like Palmer Joss.
By the way, there are various critical points in that movie, you couldn't find in the 21st century sci-fis.
I don't see the let down. I don't get where is the religious message in the movie other than if that's ever to happen in reality, the committee would include a dozen, unethical Palmer Josses and fucking Drumlins. So the movie has a good, complicated, realistic plot -if somewhat optimistic- but realistic because it is messy. We are messy. Everything about the theme the movie takes on is very messy. (Even the casting of the theologian is on point if you ask me.)
I'm curious though. What is so familiar to you about the belief/religion part represented in that movie?

I have never represented any majority, LOL. My problem with this story is very simple. I don't believe that (any) religion and science can intellectually coexist. A theme of this movie is that they can. I think this is dishonest. I don't need to apologize to any believer that I consider their god, traditions, or their supposedly religious derived morality to be pure bullshit. Placating and pandering to religion pisses me off and there was too much attention paid to it, IMHO. Does religion really deserve the respect it gets? And when the one guy says something along the lines of "well we don't even know if the aliens believe in god", all I thought was "how f'in stupid".
Someone please, go ahead and show me how (any) religion including all their scriptures, beliefs, and preconceptions can
honestly live together with the scientific process, methods and known facts together in one brain? I'd really like to know.
It's easy, they lie to themselves, honestly. ;-)

I've seen where people refer to science and religion as "non-overlapping magisteria", which just gives religion a bye, which I don't like.

As far as I understand, you are confusing the form of expression used to point out 'these are two fundamentally different things and they don't mix' with 'see, they can co-exist' because they're put together without the audience being mollycoddled. Nobody intervenes and makes an explanation somewhere.
That expression is comparison. Comparison is the most basic way of criticism. It's actually the first step of any kind of criticism, doesn't matter how complicated it can get or be put in a higher context. It's there, that's the movie. They need to make that comparison and go through that door.

Of course you don't need to. And the movie does the same. It just doesn't apologise to anyone. It just shows a picture and points out.
Yeah, it is fucking stupid. We all agree on that. And it is put there to show that. Furthermore, Rob Lowe's character's following lines after what you mentioned is about '...how the president will lose huge amount of votes...' if that angle is not considered. The main part of the disease.
So the movie actually is putting up a huge sign pointing out "See, something related to religion is not just stupid, it is politics, money, power. It has nothing to do with what is told in the telling. And the fucking establishment is built on this lie. Because that's what it is for. It's a fraud. It's a fucking hoax. It's about votes, money and power."
And the movie keeps repeating this by going different angles and degrees.
With Joss the sign says, "See, religion has nothing to with rationality. You cannot make rational decisions or use reason with it. Doesn't matter how good or honest you think your intentions are, you are just fooling yourself. It's fucking stupid. It's not real."
With Drumlin the sign says, "See, you can lie, manipulate masses, people with religion the way you want. Steal everything from people. You can steal Success, development... and nobody's gonna do anything about it because it is fucking religion. Religion is a tool for corruption in every scale."
With the suicide bomber, the sign says "See, this shit goes to this length. People kill for this fucking stupid, meaningless shit. Religion kills."
There is a huge colourful banner flying on the movie reading "RELIGION IS FUCKING STUPID and IT KILLS."
And that banner is flying opposed to some protagonist, who keeps saying 'this is fucking stupid' in different levels and terms, from the beginning through out the movie.
-She starts as a child by putting the priest in his place in her father's funeral when he says: "We are not meant to understand such things, but just accept them". She answers: "I should have kept medicine at the downstairs cabinet. I could have got to him sooner" meaning: "Go fuck yourself. It's stupid." Simple as this.
-She doesn't give a damn about what people think of her passion, her understanding of scientific knowledge. Fights with super human tenacity. She never stops looking for funding. She sacrifices her happiness. She meets a man she likes, but she leaves his number so she wouldn't call him. That scene is out there to show something to young people. She is like a single minded machine going after what she believes.
-She is not afraid of anything, or anyone. She doesn't get manipulated. "World is what we make of it." Because it is. She is action, not talk. Every other character is just fucking talk.
-After the message is received, she calls everyone. She doesn't calculate how to get a beneficial position or make money or power from it. She speaks up to the high power people reminding that this message is for all humanity and for example, asks the armed personnel to wait outside. (Again very important point.)
-She never lies. She never manipulates. She doesn't need it. She is the only character in the movie who openly says: "I can't explain. I don't know..." when necessary. She is completely honest. Because she never gets out of the rational, scientific line of thinking. She knows otherwise, it is fucking stupid; it is empty. It's not real.
She is the huge banner in the movie that drowns the fucking religious theme. The ideal scientist. Highly ethical and driven like mad. Her existence is a 'go fuck yourself' to any kind of religious theme. So there is a huge map pointing "This is good, follow this way" and "This is bad, don't go this way".
Without that religious theme, the movie doesn't exist. "This is fucking stupid" message doesn't exist.
That's why there is no indication of a possible co-existence of science and religion in the movie. There is an optimistic, realistic as it could be representation of the people, the human culture; the world we live in; what people think/brainwashed religion is and the contrasting reality of what it really is.
QuoteSomeone please, go ahead and show me how (any) religion including all their scriptures, beliefs, and preconceptions can honestly live together with the scientific process, methods and known facts together in one brain? I'd really like to know.
You need to ask this to people who think this way. Nobody here has a thought along these lines, let alone defending it.
Well, you're often rational about things. But for some reason, you are being irrational about an obvious material given in this case.
There is a universal context given here with barking notes, and that's why I'm reacting to this. Because it is reasonable to think every intelligent species; every civilisation in the universe must go through a religious phase, and hopefully get enlightened and then get above it before destroying themselves.
This is Carl Sagan's departure point. The progress of civilisations 'map' that leads to the search of extraterrestrial intelligence with the technology of radio telescopes starts with this progress. Science beating down religion. It's his crucial turning point. It's his main problem of inspiration. He knows the door is provoking a healthy skepticism. If preaching and imposition worked, religion would. It doesn't.
So the movie is designed with this concern. It's not a documentary. People who are aware of some things will go watch the documentary themselves. But that's the beauty and the power of science fiction, or any fiction when used good. You can show that door to the people, who never even imagined there could be one. But you can't go through that door for them.

The ending of the movie is technically the credits, which lists those who worked on the movie.
It's a play on the ambiguity of "the ending" - normally understood as the last scene of the film, but taken literally, is the end credits.

Math can be tricky...
Yeah, math and meth don't go well together. 🧐
Also, to make math problems like that easier, I peel off a 2 from the 27 to give to the 48. So the problem is 50+25, which is easy to calculate in the head.
But peeling 2 from 27 leaves only 7.

Sashimi is raw fish. Sushi isn't necessarily raw fish.
Generally speaking in the US, sushi is generally safe to eat. (https://www.livescience.com/32163-is-sushi-safe-to-eat.html) The main problem is actually the rice reaching room temperature when it sits around for too long, cultivating bacteria. Generally speaking, cold sushi (or fried sushi) is no problem for people with unimpaired immune systems.
Personally, I love sushi. I don't think there's an adequate way to explain it other than "meat candy" - the flavor combinations are truly mouth-watering. A light and juicy treat. It's unfortunate that it also has to be a rare treat due to mercury and overfishing issues.

Yes. It's a reference to the Barbie movie, where Barbie is visibly distraught at being in policy custody, but Ken looks like he's having a blast.
Dipper and Twilight are similarly the serious, responsible ones and their counterparts, Mabel and Pinkie Pie, are fun-loving little agents of chaos.
Personally, Jessie and James could go either way.

Weirdly, I looked at the Freaky Friday movies. They remade it twice. Didja know that? In the original, they just wished to swap bodies and it just happened. No real explanation because that shit doesn't matter. The real point is to watch the mother and daughter come to understand one another better. Then they made a TV movie where there were magic necklaces, because we needed an explanation for why this dumb shit on the poster happened. Then there was the 90's movie which had magic fortune cookies, which is just fucking racist. Ancient Chinese secret, my left nut. Just a downward slide in quality and craftsmanship.

Personally, I prefer the utter lack of explanation. You wake up one day in a totally different body. Total mindfreak. Plus, if you don't know how it happened, you have zero control over it, so you can focus on the weirdness of it all and the relationship more.

And while Frodo is trying to dump Satan's mood ring into Mount Edna, he finds a tweeker who put an RF tracker on it and won't go away. So they let him tag along, but while they were camping one night, he got the munchies and ate all the pita bread and blamed it on Sam, who was already insecure about his weight.

"If we have to, we will consider supplementing their diving crews with land-lords, influencers and crypto-bros. We will not rest until the mission is successful.", he added.
As we were leaving, we tried to get an interview with some of the crew - the Vice Admiral informed us that they were in some very important pre-briefing and could not risk any distractions.

cumin + ground red pepper, salt and little olive oil enough to cover that the chicken wings. let it marinate and airfryer it. It tastes much better.

A friend of mine built a musket from a kit. Woody was a refuge from the US child-care system.* He didn't pay much attention to the directions but did get it to the point where it could be fired. We went out to a wood lot and he loaded it up and commenced shooting. The rifle was kicking his butt and I was having too much fun laughing at him to point out that he hadn't cut the powder cup down to the size appropriate for that piece. It was BOOM-BOOM TIME! As I watched him I realized there was a state trooper watch him as well. The rifle was making a hell of a racket and the mountie was called in to see WTF. He was cool, took a few rounds himself. So the "communist invasion" of Indiana came to a peaceful end.
*He had a "lazy eye" so the facility decided he couldn't be educated.(Meaning they had a extra body to work on the floors, toilets, etc. instead of sending him to school.)

Something was always broken, and it often needed to be hauled out for maintenance. Finally, it sank in a storm and destroyed the dock and he had let the insurance lapse. Beyond a complete loss.

"Paleface" would work. Has the same energy as "redskin."
The joke is, the Lone Ranger and Tonto are on some sort of, "mission", for lack of a better word (of course, it's just s joke). They are surrounded by NA, who are bent on killing them. TLR says, "Tonto, we are surrounded, and it looks like they are going to kill us". To which, Tonto replies, "What mean 'we', white man?".

Agreed, though my off-hand explaination shouldn't be taken as a defense or excuse for why it happens, just several ways in which error can creep in.
Yes, of course it's embarrassing and to be avoided, especially by presitigious publications and people who write professionally.
Speaking of, I still occasionally find errors in print media and novels. It's embarrassing, especially because once a novel is published, it's out there forever, but it happens. Usually not out of stupidity, just carelessness. Though I wonder if carelessness alone fully accounts for all the errors - there's a widespread informal rule that an apostrophe is needed for plural words. I fear one day waking up to it being taught that way in schools.
You'd expect the editor to catch mistakes in print, but apparently not. One of life's mysteries, I suppose. Like why the umpire is blind and how people who drive like maniacs somehow manage to get their driver's license.

Abortion not-so-subtly equated to murder. :/
Surely, the reason this was shared is because its maker has a couple screws loose and clumsily argues by insinuation that atheists are the irrational ones?
Stripped of their original context (ludicrous claims that the bible is without contradiction or asserting that god is omnibenevolent while simultaneously asserting that god will wipe out humanity again if two dude kiss or whatever) "atheist arguments" do indeed sound silly. The one where atheists allegedly assert that god bestows girlfriends is quite a silly one that I confess to have never hearing before. Clearly, I must be unfamiliar with atheist arguments.
The "faith = no use brain" also seems like an odd argument until one remembers that religious people sometimes trot out some very troubling quotes on faith vs reason. If reason were never undervalued, especially in such a public way, then perhaps atheists would not score a near-effortless win by asserting its importance.
And yet, if I were to ask religious people seemingly softball questions like if religious belief is necessary for morality, if the bible is literally true, was the development of Christianity a product of culture and historical contingency or did it float down fully-formed from on high, I don't think any of us would be impressed by the answers we'd get.
Reason is a lighthouse, faith is the rocks below.
I dunno. That thing kind of reminds me of how cryptohos deflect criticism by simply repeating the criticism back. Say it's a scam, and they just say "It's a scam."
So now the christians are going to be shouting "magic sky pixies" and "flying spaghetti monster" at us?
Well, it is a scam.

I like how their response to examples of Biblical contradictions and their god's bloody violence is, "Yeah, we know." Uhh... 'Kay? Good for them, I guess. At least they're honest about their lack of consistency. Also, "Faith = no use brain?" Faith is inherently irrational. If there was evidence to support it, it wouldn't be faith. Doesn't mean one is an idiot because they are religious, which is what I
think the person making the meme was insinuating we were suggesting, but the faith itself is something one is actively discouraged from questioning. Some even try to twist the irrational nature of faith into being a good thing, somehow.
1 Corinthians 1:18-27For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."See? The Bible says people will think our beliefs make no sense! And they do think it's nonsense, so it must be true!"
Those verses were almost certainly written as a response to early teachings getting a cold reception among the more intelligent (one wonders why).
Sour grapes.
QuoteSurely, the reason this was shared is because its maker has a couple screws loose and clumsily argues by insinuation that atheists are the irrational ones?

Probably depends on the code and the language, etc. Recently dealt with some Linux stuff and forgot to close a bracket and a second underscore or something. One stupid error can bork the whole thing.

I met Grace Hopper once. I was her driver for a day. She was in San Diego dedicating the new "super" computer center at the North Island Naval Station. She apologized to me for helping invent COBOL. No clue what she meant at that time. Later I remembered her words with a touch of irony.

So true!
I started out on punch cards. When I got a job out of uni I wasn't initially programming. But I got laid off from that position and went to a job (same company) where I did tons of it.

Khalesi was the worst. Because it's a title, not a name. And because the character's fate wasn't yet known. Lots of remorse with that one.
Also, parents should bear in mind that bureaucrats are going to have to spell that name and school bullies will be searching every word that rhymes with it, so be careful.
So, what's wrong with the name 'Horatio?'

Nothing. It's a mathematically perfect name. But when you talk about yourself in the third person, it creeps out the rest of the galaxy.

549th most popular name for girls in the US, that's about 560 baby girls per year for around 5 or so years when the show was super popular. So it's a pretty rare name, but it went from absolutely no one to pretty rare.

There is a reason why in the stories police tend not to like vigilantes and see them as criminals. They operate outside of the law and by default act in a manier that is not in full accordance with it.

But a decade ago, it pretty much went like this:
"You see, there are little genetic changes in a group of critters every generation and these changes pile up and lead to some pretty big divergences over time."
That makes perfect sense.
But say the e-word and people think you're saying that an individual animal "decided" to mutate itself to be "better" despite the "obvious fact" that critters were initially as diverse as they ever would be and subsequent changes merely represent some sort of spiritual-physical degradation. That makes sense, right?

The Bat Signal was operated by the police, so they had co-opted Batman. And Bruce doesn't need insurance.

Yes, depending on the brand (https://www.vox.com/2014/12/1/7309499/mint-fresh-breath).
Menthol is derived from the mint plant (well, a bunch of mint and peppermint plants of the genus Mentha. I'll give ya three guesses as to what menthol is named after (https://www.etymonline.com/word/menthol)). Unsurprisingly, breath mints got their name from mint plants.
Also, menthol is in a TON of stuff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menthol). You're getting a dose from your dentist, your shaving cream, your aftershave, your breath mints, decongestants, cough medicine, lip balms, chewing gum, candy, etc. It's widely consumed.

In the Elder Scrolls video games, Lorkhan "tricked" the original spirits into creating the world. This took away some of their divine energy and made it a part of the world. Some accepted this and willingly became part of the world, but most were horrified and fled.
In the present day, some of the elves consider mortality a curse and want to unmake the world to return to a state of immortality. In contrast, most humans consider mortality to be a good thing, believing that the limitations and trials of life challenge and enrich the soul.

That's Nighthawks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nighthawks_(Hopper)), probably the most famous diner painting ever. It does have a door, just no apparent door to the outside. Enterprising internet citizens have rectified that apparent error:

Quote from: Mike Cl on September 17, 2023, 09:12:16 AMSpeaking of Bill Maher........It seems to me that he has gone off the rails in the last few months. Saw part of an interview he had on MSNBC----He stated that he HATED trump and all he stood for; but what most people don't get is that most of his fans were simply rebelling against the extreme left! I have heard him say something similar before and I wonder who the fuck the extreme left is. He doesn't explain just labels but refuses to give examples of what he is referring to. He used to be a huge fav of mine---now I don't even want to look at him any more.
I have the same reaction. I get where he is coming from sometimes...perhaps trying to avoid immediate cancelation and at least have a dialog across the aisle as we did for decades post-Civil War. However now he goes way too far. Take masks for instance. He was such an anti-masker douchebag. I mean over a million Americans died, FFS. Many were our WW2 and Korean War elderly. He is buddies with that conspiracies-for-dollars shithead Russel Brand.
The way the 98% of the gutless "conservatives" went pro-Trump and pro Putin, I never thought in a million years, Mitt Romney and Liz Chaney would be the best conservatives alive.

I've often thought about what things would be like if scientific pursuits were given the same sort of social license as religion. Like you drive by rural Kansas and you see billboards demanding that you acknowledge the Big Bang or "Axial Tilt: the Reason for the Season!" and the billboard is cleverly angled 23.5 degrees from the road. In the parking lot, you see someone with an atom symbol on their car and a worn-out copy of On the Origin of Species on the dash. You flip through the channels and there's a guy doing chemical "miracles" for an adoring and easily-pleased crowd and he asks for ludicrously large donations and has his own private plane. Or people thinking it's weird that you're not planning on getting married at an observatory or particle collider.
I wonder how much cultish stuff people encounter on a daily basis that doesn't even register to them as strange because it's a "normal" part of culture, yet it would come across as extremely strange if it were even the slightest bit different.

They apparently removed those spells because it complicates quests. If you can levitate to skip to a later part of a dungeon, that could screw up quest progression if they forget to account for that. However, I kind of suspect the next Elder Scrolls will bring levitation back. It's not exactly the same thing, but Starfield gave the player jet packs for limited vertical movement. I think The Elder Scrolls will use a similar mechanic for levitation.
Maybe not Mark and Recall, though. I can see too many situations where that could potentially break a game. Mark a room you're not meant to be able to return to? Poof. Now you're there. And there's no way out, because the escape was a one-time thing. Oops.

The official reason is that the cities are instanced in both Oblivion and Skyrim, so a player approaching a city with levitate would look very strange and break immersion. That technical hurdle may have been solved - there's a mod that un-instances Skyrim's cities and it appears to work just fine, although it reportedly was a significant drain on system resources and caused quite a few crashes. So maybe that technical problem isn't quite solved yet.

That's okay. Imho, games should allow you to fail if you intentionally do something stupid. Wanna use that scroll of Icarian flight? Have fun! Wanna go into a daedric ruin at level one? Go right ahead. Wanna go swimming? Say hi to the slaughterfish for me.
Recalling to a vendor was such a godsend in Morrowind. It gives players a chance to escape if they get over their heads (like stumbling upon the daedric ruins) and it cuts out the whole part of the game where you walk out of the dungeon and then back to town. That way, the gameplay loop is - home, venturing out, questing/conflict until you're overencumbered or tired or whatever, then recalling back home. It's basically the Hero's Journey circle, but in video game form. Ordinary world -> special world -> Ordeals/Discovery -> Return to ordinary world.
I've actually used that Open Cities mod. It's pretty cool. Hopefully the next Elder Scrolls is just built that way from the start (and with bigger cities). Starfield seemed to accomplish that just fine.
Maybe instead if Mark and Recall, they could have a couple new spells. You could have an Escape spell that teleports you to the entrance of the dungeon that you used to get there. Helps you get out quickly. Another spell could be called Home, which teleports the player to a player home (or their last bed) of their choice. The catch could be that the spells take a while to cast, you have to stand still and have stable ground (no water or shaking ground), and are interrupted if any damage is taken, so they'd be better used out of combat, or if you manage to create enough distance. I also think they shouldn't work in Daedric realms. If you're in Vaermina's nightmare world, you should have to fight your way out of it. If you can just poof out of it, that feels like cheating.

Unsurprisingly, guys were interested in marrying a rich woman. In more modern times, this has changed - with pale being less attractive compared to a little tan. Once again, this is linked to wealth - those able to cultivate a nice tan are generally better off.

History is a subject with a lot of popular fascination, and the Roman Empire is basically the most well-documented history thing ever before WWII. Plus, there have been a bunch of really good film and TV adaptations. My personal favorite: HBO's Rome.
Interesting.

So... I don't know how much flack to give them about that. There is such a thing as convergent evolution, so it may not be so unreasonable to think that an intelligent species would be similar to us. Until we actually find alien life, it would hard to know that. I think for an intelligent species like us to evolve, however, it has to be able to easily manipulate tools, or else it would be pretty limited in what it could do. So they'd probably have hands or something similar to them. At least initially. It's also possible that an intelligent species that is way ahead of the game compared to us might have evolved past the need for tools.
But even if convergent evolution created species like us, they probably wouldn't be THAT much like us. Their evolutionary history likely would have taken them a very different route to get to a similar result. Would they have two sexes like we do? Probably. That seems to make the most sense for reproduction, so evolution would probably develop that anywhere life develops. Would their females have boobs? Ehh... Doubtful. Even most mammals don't have anything resembling human boobs. We're pretty unique in that regard. Would they have skin? Maybe. Or maybe they'd have scales. Hair? Maybe something resembling it, since that would be good for both preserving or dispelling heat, allowing them to live in a wide variety of climates like we do.
I personally find it doubtful that any intelligent life form we find out there would look desirable to us. They might look vaguely human, but they'd probably be very strange looking to us. They'd probably be looking at us lightly-haired apes like, "Ugh! What is that? Gross!"

I've had so much of a wasp problem this Summer. I tried driving them away with mint. I tried trapping them. We had people come and spray outside the house. They kept coming back. I think they only ended up dying eventually because of the draught. Had no rain for like a month.
If I could have made an alliance with the spiders, that they could build wherever they want as long as they don't block the doors, they keep their distance, and they don't bite, I'd have done it in a second. Just kill the wasps. They're dicks. People who try to pretend they only attack in self-defense are in denial. I had one fly at the window of my car trying to get at me, and that was when I escaped out the garage door to avoid them.

If they come back next Summer, I'll try that. But they completely ignored my home made traps. I had a two liter soda bottle, cut off the top, put the top on upside-down, and filled it with sugar water. The sweet smell was supposed to draw them to it, crawling down through the opening. But because of how the opening is positioned, they find it easy to enter and nearly impossible to get out. They just completely ignored it. Never caught a single thing.
What kind of wasps are they? There's a bunch of different kinds. And they all suck.

Big bad evil guy
BAsically, the big bad of a campaign in dnd.
Ah, that's why I didn't know - never played D&D. 🐲
Big Bad Evil Guy (BBEG) was popularized on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which often had a monster-of-the-week format. The term has been embraced in tabletop games, but it's actually more of a general term for the main villain, often someone who seeks to conquer and/or destroy the world, often through intermediaries who do the actual dirty work.
Fun fact: the main underling of the BBEG is known as the Dragon (more figurative than literal, though it can be literal). And in every type of media there is, it's customary for the heroes to only be aware of the Dragon and fighting against the Dragon at first. Then, after the Dragon is defeated or killed or joins the heroes, then the BBEG is revealed to continue and escalate conflict.
It's such an incredibly common trope in fiction that Dragon/Big Bad pairs in movies is a huge chunk of all good vs evil type movies - action movies, fantasy movies, etc.
Never heard the term, but I "watch" TV when I walk through the room, and avoid movies like the plague, in or out of theaters.

BOOSH!
The paladin is also one of the most virtuous of characters. They're sworn to an oath to do good, and breaking their oath results in their powers being taken away. So a paladin responding to the BBEG with, "No, actually, he's got a point." That's a pretty big turn.
Oh, now I got it. I knew of Paladins, but I had no idea of the BBEG...

Virtuous or lawful? I thought they were lawful good.
Quote from: drunkenshoe on November 10, 2023, 12:37:50 AMVirtuous or lawful? I thought they were lawful good.
They used to be restricted to only lawful good, but the rules are a lot looser on that lately. Still, 9 times out of 10, the Paladin is a scion of virtue, vanquisher of evil, and protector of the innocent. So a change of heart, especially towards the main villain is indeed a big turn.
Quote from: drunkenshoe on November 10, 2023, 12:37:50 AMVirtuous or lawful? I thought they were lawful good.
Most are probably lawful good, because they are compelled to follow the rules set before them and to never stray from them, but it might depend on the specific oath they have taken. Paladins at the third level choose from a list of oaths. Before then, they're considered to be paladins in training. The Oath of the Ancients is one where they pledge to use acts of kindness, mercy, and forgiveness to combat despair. These kinds of paladins could be neutral or chaotic good, as long as they remain pure.
Paladins of the Oath of Devotion are the white knights of paladins. They must be honest, courageous, compassionate, honorable, and dutiful at all times. They cannot lie, run from a battle (unless it's a strategically sound decision rather than cowardice), disobey just authority figures, etc. These are perhaps the most lawfully centered paladins, since their oath is more about following rules rather than making a positive impact.
And then there's the Oath of Vengeance. Their policy can best be summed up as "do unto others." Evil must be extinguished, without mercy. Those harmed by evil must be given restitution. While the other two oaths emphasize personal purity, these paladins are all about results. If your enemy has an enemy, the latter is your ally. Lesser evils are justified if they bring the end to a greater evil. I feel like these types of paladins make the most sense as chaotic good characters, since what is "good" is up to the paladin's own judgement.

As an illiterate reader, I think Arabic writings look very soft, flowing and artistic when not white on a black flag, Russian Crylic writing looks very post-apocalyptic or old-industrial and Chinese just look like it would be impossible to learn.
They teach Chinese Hànzì to children, so it's just a matter of training. When I was in Japan, Yokosuka Naval Base, there was a shop right across the street from the main gate. They claimed to have ten thousand "most commonly used" ... chop sticks ... .*

Looks like a Japanese restaurant I used to go to when I was stationed in Yokosuka. The Japanese put plastic models of their food in a display case outside the establishment. I got a waiter to follow me outside so I could point out the dish I was interested in. Got a deep bow and bowl of something that tasted like who fucking knows.

Because of acid reflux, I can't eat or drink pretty much anything any more. Good side is I've stopped smoking, and this time it is sure to stick, I can't stand the chest ache, tightness it causes with the reflux. I don't drink either. I've reduced the salt due to borderline tension which is not yet hyper apparently. So it is a healthy, and boring way of life. :/ But yeah it is life, what're you gonna do?
Quote from: drunkenshoe on November 21, 2023, 03:02:51 AMBecause of acid reflux, I can't eat or drink pretty much anything any more.
Mine is still pretty mild, but I have to be careful with chocolates and fried/fatty foods and I absolutely can't eat to excess anymore (au revoir, buffets!) If I overdo it (by say, eating a burger and then chugging a tall glass of chocolate milk), acid comes up and my throat feels tight and I dry heave for a while before finally burping my way back to being okay. And sleeping with acid coming up is a dangerous and quite scary combination.
The silver lining is that I can still have spicy food so long as I tone down the meat and chase it with veggies or high-fiber foods.

I quit cold turkey in '88. "I'm stronger than this addiction!" Much to my surprise it turned out to be true. Haven't smoked since then.

Jack up your bed so you're head is a few inches higher than your stomach. Helps reduce the nightime reflux. I thought it was voodoo, but it works. I also suck on a Tums (antiacid pill) rather than chew it up. That helps me as well.

Yesterday I watched the 2023 Ig Nobel prize ceremony. My favorite was a group who won for the reanimation of dead spiders, for use as mechanical grabbing claws. They were called "necrobots." 🕷
Would that be ethical if the spiders were known to go to heaven* when they die?

I know one engineer who has gotten a few electrical surprises over the years. The company made us watch some grisly hi-voltage safety films, but never just after lunch. Unfortunately, one young tech didn't follow the procedure one day. The main breaker went off, but way too slowly for him to survive. OSHA shut us down for a few days. His shoe left a permanent shadow-reminder on the concrete floor till they acid washed it.

I was working on a design that had -600VDC bias (a few mA) on some pin diode switches. Had my hand between two circuit cards when I hit it. Remember the old cmos logic boards had all those sharp IC legs sticking through the cards? Kinda like a cheese grater. They are what got the back of my hand as I jerked it out of that unit, real fast. Looked worse than it was. We ended up delaying delivery to do a change order to heat shrink and RTV all exposed HV points. We were out of compliance anyways. I am sure some field techs benefitted from my day of fun.

Me: the elves successfully contacted the Far Realm. No one knows what happened after that. A small druid conclave exists on the outskirts but the druids there are rumored to be malformed and insane by their other kin. The forest is super-duper haunted to the point that even outlaws give it a wide berth and if you venture into it you're almost guaranteed to die.

That "town" (a veritable metropolis compared to much of NC) is well-known to me. I always say Shar-let, but I have heard Shar-lot a...well..lot. I think this is because a lot of people make the mistake of just trying to pronounce something as it is written, which is a logical approach to a very illogical language.
Boom, nailed it.
Apparently, the French give it somewhat of a -lot as well and the word is ultimately french/italian in origin, so perhaps this is an example of American deviation.

Actually, those were K't'inga-class cruisers, which are similar to the D7 cruisers from the original series. The Klingon Bird of Prey first appeared in Star Trek III: the Search For Spock where Jim from Taxi was giving them shit. But the Bird of Prey was originally a Romulan ship in the series. The script for ST3 was just revised so much that it changed who uses the Bird of Prey.Know what, forget it.

I am curious. Seeing how less than 15% of engineers are woman-folk and it is less than 25% for architects.....that scenario is 100-((0.15)*(0.25)*100) = 96% unlikely of not being an all-female situation. Less than 5% of engineering grads are black, so that would really start to make it exceptional. What IS unexpected is that female engineers make slightly (3%) higher wages than males on average. Don't know why that is, however. I think bosses may be a little scared, LOL.

I got off of "Twitter," but I still keep getting notifications from it.
Has Twitter become that bad? I remember people saying similar stuff before that clown has bought it. But then, people I never expected to leave it has stopped using it, so I'm guessing it is bad.
Never been, but I'm hearing bad things.

Actually that's a myth started by vampires so to generate false negatives (erroneously clearing someone from suspicion of being a vampire when they actually show up in a mirror's reflection)
The running water thing got started because as it turns out, european nobles more often than not didn't know how to swim.
And the counting rice thing...well, lots of people were "on the spectrum" in the late medieval and early modern period without being diagnosed.

Apparently, the mirror thing was based on the idea that vampires couldn't interact with silver, which mirrors were once backed with. Since modern mirrors don't have silver, it's irrelevant if it was ever true.

Who are the Roman (Greek?) couple?
Quote from: PopeyesPappy on December 24, 2023, 08:38:48 AMWho are the Roman (Greek?) couple?
I thought that's The Golden Apple, but I dunno who would be the female in that case. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite, and she is displayed as blonde. But he gave the apple to her because she showed her Helen, so maybe they put her as Helen? I've no idea. Probably, Aphrodite.
E: I mean this one: https://www.greekboston.com/culture/mythology/golden-apple/
QuoteParis and the Trojan War
Many people are familiar with the story of the Trojan War, but according to mythology, the war was started by a golden apple. Zeus held a banquet but did not invite Eris, the goddess of discord. To show her displeasure, Eris arrived anyway and threw a golden apple. The apple read "for the most beautiful." Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all claimed that the apple must be for them. To settle the dispute, Zeus called on Paris to judge who should have the apple.
Each goddess offered Paris a great gift in return for saying that she was the most beautiful. Aphrodite offered Paris the love of Helen, the most beautiful human. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite, and Helen fell in love with him. Helen, however, was already married to the king of Sparta. When Paris took Helen to Troy, the king vowed to find her, and the Trojan War began.

Why is it that you can catch a bass but play a bass? 🤣
My favorite fishing show stars a gal in Daisy Dukes. It's called, I think, "The Happy Hooker".

Because you know I'm all about that

I'm all about that base bout' that

I'm all about that base. Bout'

Yeah, it's pretty clear. This ain't
no small moon. But it can shatter,
shatter and bring your planet
doom.
It's got that boom boom that
blow all the places, like Alderaan
chunks where Alderaan space was.
I help the emperor, after Darth Maul got
stopped.
We know that Sith ain't real,
cuz even I got chopped.
I got a rebuilt body. Just raise it up.
Cause every of me is robot from
the bottom to the top.
Yeah the emperor told me don't
worry about the size. He says
"it's not like it's be blown
up twice by the same Jedi".
And no I won't be no Sith fighting Jedi
like Obi-Wan. So if that's what you're
into stormtrooper then move along.
Because you know I'm all about
that base. Bout' that base no
rebels. I'm all about that base.
Bout' that base. No rebels
I'm all about that base. Bout'
that base no rebels. I'm all
about that base, bout' that base.
I'm bringing balance back. Go ahead and
tell them Jedi bitches that.
No I'm not playing, I'm Luke and
Leia's Dad. But I'm here to tell ya.
Every inch of me is robot from
the bottom to the top.
Yeah the emperor told me don't worry
about the size " it's not like it'd
be blown up twice the same Jedi".
And no I won't be no Sith fighting Jedi
like Obi-Wan. So if that's what you're

I recently watched a Jimmy Kimmel video in which Jimmy and his sidekick Guillermo were in some town that had a large Latino population and were looking for something fun to do. Guillermo suggested they play a game called "Tequila and piñatas."
So they went to a bunch of stores that sold only those particular objects, and whenever anyone said the word "piñata" they would each have a drink of Tequila. Of course, Guillermo just happened to have a bottle - and glasses! 🤣
They both ended up quite inebriated, with Jimmy falling off of their conveyance, and they bought a lot of piñatas!🥳
I like to call Guillermo "Tequila Mockingbird." 🤣

I eventually owned over a dozen, sometimes more than once. I worked in the auto hobby shop, Signonella, Sicily, NATO Air Base. I bought cars from the subhunter squadrons that were leaving, fixed them up and sold them to the incoming squadrons. I donated half the money I cleared to the Navy Relief Society. CO approved of that. Grease them wheels.

Started at the Robert F. Kennedy Funivia-dell-Etna* parking lot. Three friends with me. From a stand still I release the parking brake and we took off. Engine still on started. "It's all down hill from here, boys!" Stopped at three-four stop signs, full stop. Started going again without starting the engine. Went 27 klicks with the engine off, could have gone farther but 23 via Zuara, Motta san Anastasia, Provincia Catania, Sicilia, Italia, was the other way, slight upslope for a spell.

Yeah, it's on average something like ~6 protons per cubic meter out there, though I'd guess that the outer space within the solar system and within the galaxy is more active than the sheer nothing between galaxies.

Morpheus literally warned him that the real world wasn't any fun. That's why he offered him the red pill and the blue pill. One option would show Neo the hard truth, while the other would cause Neo to forget everything and continue his fake life in the Matrix, blissfully unware of the deception.

YMMV but imho he did an amazing job. That movie is a cult classic and a *wink wink nudge nudge* subversive satire of fascism. As a straight adaptation of the novel, it's not great, obviously.
I still quote it all the time: "this place crawls!" for hectic situations, and "someone made a big Goddamn mistake" for disasters, and "frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks OFFENSIVE!" for hugely naive/incorrect assumptions.

Taylor Swift infuriated conservatives last year by...*checks notes*...asking people to vote. Wow, low bar to clear, huh.
So naturally, she's part of some shadowy conspiracy by...*spins wheel*...the Pentagon. Very easy, low-effort content for the always over-easy this-is-your-brain-on-fox-news bunch. Definitely not manipulative or habit-forming at all. Keep buying those NFTs, folks!
I've always thought that Taylor Swift's music was mid. IMO, music was better back when artists didn't have to be super models. That being said, I find it funny how easily she gets under the skins of Conservatards.
Quote from: Blackleaf on January 11, 2024, 02:02:50 PMI've always thought that Taylor Swift's music was mid.
That term drives me crazy because it literally means average in its original gaming context of "mid-tier" (though its origins are disputed). A mid-tier build is perfectly viable, but not the "best" possible build you can make. So anything "mid" is not amazing, but not bad either. Good, but not great.
Since then, the term has been used increasingly dismissively, with connotations that the thing in question is regarded as bad/terrible, which is different from the original meaning. I hate having to do detective work to figure out the author's intent, especially when we already have perfectly fine descriptive words at home. Damn younglings and their use of slightly different words...
Personally, I think her music is just very average and very easily-digestible pop music. Definitely going for mass appeal. Nothing inherently bad about that, but it's not wowing me over, either.
I don't think I've ever listened to any Taylor Swift.
I thought "mid" meant midway between two styles.

All the transpo/shipping businesses are. Everything from COVID to crop disease to exotic species proliferation to global warming. Bad drug importation and even use of airplanes as terrorist weapons. For any tool useful to humans there will be a down-side.

I have grown tabasco peppers from time to time, seeds are commercially available. They are not that hot, but I do think they are very tasty...and prolific. I would leave bags of them in the breakroom at work and they would go fast.

John McCain was born in Panama. He father was stationed there in the military. As such he is considered a natural born American citizen.
Cruz is a little different. Born in Canada, but his mother was an American citizen. Many interpret that as making him a natural born US citizen.
But... SCOTUS has never ruled on the question and until they do there will be no definitive answer to does that make someone born to an American citizen outside of the US a natural born citizen or not.

There is a huge taste difference between the cheaper olive oil and the good xtra-virgin, cold-freshly-pressed stuff. Especially for cold salads. Twenty bux or so for a small bottle the good stuff. Is it worth it?

Well, to me, yes. We have a few trees by the summer house. I live in the natural habitat of olive, but it is too expensive here too, thanks to corrupted religious gov. Anyway, if I had money, I'd buy the best. I love it. I grew up with that green, bitter extra stuff. Some people think it tastes like motor oil, I think it is liquid gold, lol. Nom Nom.
The full potential range in "tastes" in people can be capsulized in one word "balut". (Don't let Google try to substitute another word for that.)

She must be one of those red-headed Lebanese gals; so thankful that the dragon won't be eating the locals for dinner any longer.
Fun (to some maybe) fact. This particular Saint George painting was completed in 1862. The look of the artist's dragon was probably heavily influanced by contemporary thoughts on the looks of dianosaurs. The Crystal Palace displays had been completed less than 10 years before the painting. It wouldn't surprise me if Rossetti had seen the Crystal Palace displays.

Thanks. Makes sense. We would need to find all the dragon descriptions available to Rosetti; the books he's read, places he's visited and visual material he has seen...myeh improbable. Yours is better. I'm taking yours. At first sight, I thought she could be Magdalene because of her hair, I have no idea why. But so she is a princess...and he is just washing the blood from his hands, lol. It's probably a theme as old as people can think of dragons.

I'm willing to deal with some bugs from games as big and open ended as The Elder Scrolls, as long as the game is still fun. Hell, sometimes the bugs are part of the charm. When the game lacks any soul, however, like with Starfield, then the bugs are just an annoyance.

My ship was parked between Victoria and Kowloon side once and the gov was delivering fresh water. The ensign in charge of receiving the water didn't know how much we were getting. I asked him what did the bargemen say?
"20 metric tons."
"And a gallon is 8.34 pounds."
"So it's 2,372 tons?"
"No, because a metric ton is 2.2 imperial tons.
"So, that 44,000 pounds of water?"

Possible, but unlikely. Mormonism is not very popular in the UK.
My guess is that she tried to appeal to bigotry by noting that Islam has a foreign origin (and therefore "wrong" to celebrate in the UK, which doesn't really follow) while conveniently forgetting that Christianity started practically next door.

Sounds like you need Advantage(tm) and/or buffs and/or tone down the difficulty. Also, a really good thing is for the DM to reduce the need for dice rolling in general.
You can literally play the game however you want. As long as the group consents, the sky's the limit. You can bolt on aspects of other game systems or homebrew if you want. Hell, you can use a ouiji board instead of dice if the group's okay with that.
Personally, if it's something routine or something that you can reasonably be expected to do, I'd consider it an automatic success and not even bother rolling. You don't need to roll to tie your shoes. That way you can save the rolling for the actually important stuff.
Sometimes though, this isn't necessarily a mechanics problem, but a psychological fear of failure. I've played enough XCOM to know that you absolutely will sometimes fail roll after roll. Failure is just something that happens on occasion. But failure doesn't necessarily mean losing. For example, let's say the party tries to infiltrate the BBEG's liar to assassinate him. There's a failure and now they're captured. That's not game over. Now, they can be thrown in the dungeon or forced to fight in an arena or be conscripted in his army (under close watch, of course) or serve as personal servants. Let's say they're made servants. Over the course of weeks, they could maybe steal a weapon or pry open a grate or slowly convince the BBEG's lieutenant to betray him. Then, at just the right time, you could strike in a very dramatically satisfying way. Imo, this is probably more interesting than the infiltration going off without a hitch.

Well, Digimon makes a bit more sense when you realize it was originally designed to be Tamagotchi for boys. They had branching evolutionary trees, which prioritizes variety over making thematic sense. Your little dinosaur
could become a bigger dinosaur, or it could turn into a slug, which of course evolves into a teddy bear.

I've seen the second one in cinema. It was the first horror movie I've seen on big screen. It was rated way over my age too. I've seen the first one later, but it didn't affect me, probably because I've seen it older. I don't remember the movie. I still remember scenes from the second one, lol.
OK. Thinking a bit further... Lynch's Lost Highway freaked me out pretty good as an adult. Also Event Horizon. I've seen Event Horizon in soiree, in cinema, and made my bf come with me to the My Best Friend's Wedding just after at midnight, lol.
The only horror movie that ever freaked me out was The Excorcist. I hated it. It didn't scare me, it just seemed to me to be in very bad taste.

My 17 yo sister and I went to see it. Halfway through she bailed. "I'll be in the lobby!"
When the movie was over I went to the lobby and found her, the only girl, with 5-6 young men who had also bailed.
Or maybe it was her? Nah.

Not grandkids, since, you know... Their species is a bit of a sausage party. The students could be a new characters who were also mutated by the ooze or some other substance. They could introduce Jennika as a next generation ninja turtle. In the comics, she's a defected Foot Clan soldier who was transformed after receiving an emergency blood transfusion from Leonardo. How receiving blood from a turtle actually saved her life, I don't know. Comic logic.
Similarly, there's a character named Lita who was human, but got transformed into an albino turtle by a "mutagen bomb." Or they could use the rabbit Miyamoto Usagi to fill that role of the student, having him be a mutant instead of coming from an alternate dimension where humanoid animals are just the norm. As a new antagonist, they could use Slash, a mutated snapping turtle who is sometimes depicted as being allied with The Foot Clan.

A bit of an inbreeding depression, but imo there were plenty of other animals affected by the ooze, so there could be mutant turtles in other countries or other parts of the US.

Not gonna post the article due to spoilers, but man, did some people get a bit too analytical. Sheesh!
Also, quest xp varies a lot.
I know they're just having fun overanalyzing stuff, but levels are just a game mechanic. Experience points don't exist in lore. In real life, a bullet will hurt just as much, no matter who is shooting it.
It's part of the reason I was slow to adopt Fallout 3 when it released. I can understand leveling up a sword skill doing more damage, because a swing from a sword master in real life will do more damage than a swing from a novice. But how does one...shoot harder? You can become more accurate with a gun, sure, but gun skills determine damage on hit, not accuracy. If I hand a gun to a toddler, those bullets won't just tickle just because they have no experience. lol
PS: Not advocating for handing guns to toddlers. I may be from Texas, but I've got some sense.

Don't be that sure. I've thought that way for a looong time. I've started to use the net at around 1994. I have an idea how it evolved. I also thought thinking that way -that most people are just stupid- is condescending, or that people had a reason for the way they think. But, I'm not so sure anymore. It's not about just right wing politics and religion either.
[I think especially using tablets, and smart phones made people stupid. As a medium, it makes people stupid. I don't think laptops, desktops, using mouse gives the same harm. Maybe because they're not so interactive as others, and they put a distance between the person and the virtual world they are interacting. Touching directly to 'information' and the -so called social media- 'knowledge', in time, effects the user. I think people lose their sight on real world, what can be included/done in real life when using these devices.]
Remember the people who just thought about politics, different people/lives just a moment only when something big happened they can't avoid, or just when something occasionally happened in their lives, people who haven't felt curious about anything, and didn't read a decent book in their lives, before social media? Well, now most of them are on social media liking/unliking each other, making large groups and reacting to things; deciding what is wrong and why, and what is right. And they don't know how to say 'I don't know'. Wİllful ignorance; not being able to produce one original thought make people feel like they're omniscient.
The 'haven't felt curious about anything in their lives' part is the key issue here as far as I understand. It feels that way because if you try to get better at something, get curious about something you at least learn there is a beginning, growth and end of in things. I don't know, I mean, you learn that nothing is what it seems at first sight? It's an introduction for cause and effect. Some sort of dialectic?
For example I used to think, I'm strongly self-opinionated, rigid...etc. Nope, I'm not. With the life experience I have now, looking back, the only rigid thing with me was wanting to know when I face something new or I don't get. (See, at this point the whole thing feels like arrogance, and I used to think that way.) But honestly, I really started to think there has been a shift in the profile of what we call the average person. Average person is stupid now. There I said it. My father's reaction to that is 'it's always been like that'. No, I don't think it's always been like that. There should be an explanation for it. Somebody, some people with enough intelligence should be able to have some sort of an answer to that.
Apparently, even Edward Witten said that he didn't believe the science will be able to explain consciousness. Myeh... It sucks.

It's actually sound logic, but the starting assumption begs the question to an extreme degree. If you start with the premise that theism is true then of course it follows that atheism is untrue.
Using the same format, you could argue that anything is true. For example: Food is edible and nutritious. Bowling balls are edible and nutritious. Therefore, bowling balls are food.
Twitter is truly an amazing place for finding stupidity in the wild lately. Elon's made sure that it's front and center now and created quite the safe space where dumb-dumbs are coddled and encouraged rather than mocked. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Quote from: Cassia on May 08, 2024, 08:00:25 AMWhat a moron if he thinks this solid proof of his own idiocy deserves a rebuttal.
After 5 years of retirement, my old company contacted me and said they are having difficulty finding capable engineers. No shit. We were clever back in the day and it seems these coddled kids can't figure out how it all works, even with reams of documentation.
I work for a tribally owned 8a. I was the tribe's first paid employee back in 2006. The tribe owns several companies that do different kinds of work. 100% government contracts. There are about 200 employees across all the companies now. I'm the general manager of the largest one. About 120 of the employees work for me. About 75% of those employees do weather observation and forecasting. I don't have a lot of direct responsibilities with that work. We have a director of weather services, and 3 program managers. One each for the army, navy, and airforce. Each individual weather contract has a project manager.
I wear a lot of hats though. In the GM capacity I deal with the SBA, and manage the back office functions. Most of the rest of our contracts are involved in the army's industrial base modernization program. We have carved out a niche for ourselves in this area providing and installing equipment, and doing the utilities distribution. This includes everything from work benches to multimillion dollar CNC stuff by way of workpiece positioners that handle thousands of lbs for assembly and disassembly, NDT lines, automated cleaning lines, clean rooms, and paint shops.
I'm the program manager for this kind of work. I manage the customer and vendor relationships. I also do most of the proposal writing in this area including pricing. We currently have 8 different contracts in this area worth about $85 million. One ends this year. 6 have about a year and half to go. The last one about 2 and half. We are expecting another $15 million contract by October. Then another $30-$50 million effort in about 2 years. I'm always looking for new opportunities in this area.
I do the project management for all these type of contracts. There is a metric shit ton of documentation involved. The equipment manufacturers do their own manuals, but I do most of the rest of it. Safety plans, test and installation plans, OPSEC plans, and employee training tracking to name a few of the deliverables.
Oh, and I'm the de facto IT/IT security officer for the whole org because I'm the only member of management that knows shit about IT.
I'm 62 now, and I have been not so subtly hinting for the last year that I won't be here forever. The wife is going to retire after next school year. I'll be done somewhere between 65 and 67. They finally got the hint, and I had a meeting with ownership last month about a path forward. It is going to involve training one of the tribal members that has worked here in a variety of different positions over the last 7 or 8 years to be the GM, hiring a new program manager from outside about 2-years from now, bringing up a couple of our field engineers for project management, and one of the existing sys admins for IT. So the plan is to replace me with 5 people.
^ Funny, when I retired the company had to bring 3 people in to do my work. The company didn't mind, as they can charge the gov for each head.

As to the two previous posts. My last company got their first hotel job, just a 4 story Holiday Inn in south Orlando. I was the super on it, by myself. My PM was pretty much MIA throughout the project. Issues with the site sub who was a friend of the owner almost wrecked the schedule but I got it done one week prior to first guest. It was close. They got another one but I had enough of them and left. Some subs called me later to complain how bad it was going on that job. They were six months behind after nearly a year and had a full time PM, a head super and two juniors full time. The HVAC contractor told company brass that the first job with me as super was a breeze and they should have tripled my pay to keep me instead of the incompetence they had now. I smiled for several weeks.

I didn't mean "I don't understand what's compelling about it" in the sense of "oops, I fell and hit my head and never heard of one of the most famous American painters ever", I meant it more like "why the fuck would anyone go to an art museum with the express purpose of seeing a painting of soup cans?" with the implication that that's boring and (if the can is empty) literally rubbish.
Van Gogh, I can understand. Any of the Renaissance Turtles, I can understand. Zdzisław Beksiński, I can really understand. Warhol's soup cans (and going on a limb, the entirety of his career), I don't understand.
Well, the painting on was display at the MOMA IIRC, so being the eastern pole of posers in the US it was going to be a hit. (MOMA is in NYC, for reference.)
And I think it was MOMA, wasn't that interested in it to begin with.

It wasn't about who, but when. Historical context. In a world pop art didn't exist, where art is understood very differently, it is/was very important. So, a very long story short, it's exactly what it is.
Warhol hated the certain set of circumstances and ideas imposed on/about art. Like 'high art' or 'low art', that art was accessible by the elite, and understandable-enjoyable by the educated or certain milieu only. Especially in a world that was/is thriving on consumerism, commercialism, and mass production.
So, basically this was the way of him saying "Fuck You!" In a nutshell, when you draw anything from 'nature', you imitate nature too... So, it "...conveys a truth."
chatgpt:
QuoteAndy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans series, created in 1962, holds a pivotal place in art history for several reasons:
1. Pop Art Movement:
Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans are a defining work of the Pop Art movement, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Pop Art challenged traditional fine art by incorporating imagery from popular and commercial culture. By using a mundane, mass-produced product as his subject, Warhol blurred the boundaries between high art and everyday life.
2. Commentary on Consumerism:
The series critiques and celebrates consumer culture. Warhol chose Campbell's Soup cans because they were familiar and ubiquitous, representing the standardization and mass production prevalent in mid-20th-century America. The work reflects society's increasing dependence on mass-produced goods and the rise of consumerism.
3. Repetition and Mass Production:
Warhol's use of repetition mimicked industrial production techniques. By replicating the same image multiple times, he highlighted the uniformity of consumer goods and questioned the notion of artistic originality. This approach challenged traditional concepts of uniqueness in art and mirrored the mass production of consumer products.
4. Democratization of Art:
Warhol believed that art should be accessible to everyone, not just the elite. By using familiar consumer goods as subjects, he made his art relatable to the general public. His work suggested that art could be found in everyday objects and experiences, democratizing the art world.
5. Artistic Innovation:
The Campbell's Soup Cans series was innovative in its use of silkscreen printing, a technique that allowed Warhol to produce multiple copies of the same image. This method aligned with his interest in mass production and further blurred the lines between fine art and commercial art.
6. Cultural Icon:
The series has become an iconic representation of 20th-century art and American culture. It has been widely reproduced and referenced in various media, solidifying Warhol's place as a central figure in contemporary art.
7. Personal Significance:
Warhol's choice of Campbell's Soup was also personal. He claimed that he ate Campbell's Soup for lunch every day for 20 years, making the cans a part of his daily life. This personal connection adds a layer of intimacy to the work, blending the personal with the commercial.
In summary, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans are significant because they encapsulate key themes of the Pop Art movement, such as the critique of consumerism, the use of mass production techniques, and the democratization of art. The series challenges traditional notions of art and continues to influence contemporary artists and culture.

QuoteThe concept of the "philosophical disenfranchisement of art" refers to a perspective within the field of philosophy that tends to undermine or diminish the value, significance, and autonomy of art. This idea is associated with the argument that philosophical discourse has historically marginalized or subordinated art, treating it as less serious or important compared to other forms of knowledge and inquiry. Here are some key points related to this concept:
Historical Context
Plato's Critique:
One of the earliest examples of this disenfranchisement comes from Plato, who famously critiqued art in his dialogues. In The Republic, Plato argued that art is an imitation of reality and thus a copy of a copy, leading people further away from the truth. He believed that art could be deceptive and morally corrupting.
Philosophical Hierarchy:
Throughout history, many philosophers have placed reason and rational thought above the sensory and emotional experiences evoked by art. This created a hierarchy where philosophy was seen as a pursuit of truth and wisdom, while art was relegated to mere entertainment or distraction.
Key Themes
Mimesis and Representation:
The idea that art is merely mimetic, or representational, has contributed to its philosophical disenfranchisement. If art is only an imitation of reality, it might be considered less valuable than direct engagement with the world through science or philosophy.
Autonomy of Art:
The disenfranchisement often involves denying the autonomy of art, treating it as a tool for moral, political, or educational purposes rather than recognizing its intrinsic value. This utilitarian view reduces art to its potential instrumental effects rather than appreciating its unique contributions to human experience.
Epistemological Concerns:
Philosophers have sometimes questioned the epistemological status of art. If knowledge is defined in terms of propositional truth and logical argumentation, the non-discursive, often ambiguous nature of art can seem less capable of contributing to knowledge.
Contemporary Perspectives
Aesthetic Philosophy:
In the 20th and 21st centuries, philosophers such as Arthur Danto and Hans-Georg Gadamer have argued against the disenfranchisement of art, advocating for its unique capacity to convey meaning, truth, and understanding in ways that are different from but equally valuable as philosophical or scientific discourse.
Art's Cognitive Value:
Contemporary aesthetics often emphasizes the cognitive value of art, arguing that art can provide insights, foster critical thinking, and offer profound experiences that contribute to our understanding of the world and ourselves.
Interdisciplinary Approaches:
There is a growing recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches that bridge the gap between philosophy and art. This includes considering how philosophical concepts can be explored and expressed through artistic practices, and vice versa.
Key Figures
Arthur Danto:
Danto's work, particularly his concept of the "artworld," argues for the philosophical recognition of the unique ways in which art creates meaning and engages with reality.
Hans-Georg Gadamer:
Gadamer's hermeneutics emphasizes the interpretive and experiential dimensions of art, highlighting its role in expanding our understanding through engagement with aesthetic experiences.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty:
Merleau-Ponty explored the phenomenology of perception and the ways in which art can reveal aspects of our embodied experience and our engagement with the world.
In summary, the philosophical disenfranchisement of art refers to the marginalization of art within philosophical discourse, treating it as less serious or important than other forms of knowledge. Contemporary philosophers and aestheticians, however, have challenged this view, advocating for the recognition of art's unique and valuable contributions to human understanding and experience.

In my original post, I didn't mean Baudrillard said the Warhol's soup cans were the last original thing we produced -it looks like that. I meant, he pointed out that, since Renaissance humanity has failed the produce anything original. Personally, I'm not sure about that either.
Probably, that's why we have produced postmodernism, why it is garbage, and everything we love is also the product of postmodernism...

I understand this, but that battle had been fought and won loooong before Warhol. They were called landscapes and they were excellent.
I get the logic in duplicating mass-produced stuff as a critique of the uniformity and sterility of consumer culture, but at the end of the day, he's essentially just making more of a bad thing.
Consumerist logos are everwhere now - t-shirts, pants, handbags, etc - yesterday I saw a baby wearing socks with the Nike swoosh on them - and I absolutely despise it. Needless to say I don't like this stuff finding its way into art museums, no matter the intention.

Oh no, not like that. See, Hydra, probably as you know, there has always been a conflict about what is art, who is artist, and who says what is art, what is not. This unfortunately has not changed that easily. What do you think about an ordinary Gauguin being sold for 200 million dollars? It's bullshit. Also, landscape is always low art if not as low as naturemorts, lol. But there are some landscapes... When I saw Turner up close I was stunned.
He is not making more of a bad thing, (first because art doesn't have to be useful, pragmatic or good) but then because nobody has made anything in that context before, and it doesn't matter if anyone does again as you said. Because it meant something new then, it doesn't mean something new now.
Think about this as a story. It's a story that goes on in some weird world called 'artworld' (Danto). We don't know when it started, it is old has human, but we always try to load meanings on it; try to understand it because it manages to convey beyond anything else. It2s not just intelligence. It's not just knowledge. It's also human truth.
By the way, an art work doesn't need to be interesting, beautiful, useful, good, charming or meaningful to everyone in accordance to be art. This is very important, this is exactly what Campbell Soup cans mean. It doesn't have to be good. But it has to tell something of its zeitgeist. I mean, 'not have to' but it'd better, if it wants to be timeless.
I understand what you feel about it. Maybe this is going to sound weird, but jokes aside, if you were interested in art history and followed fro the beginning to this day; spent time with it, you'd feel different about these kind of works. You still wouldn't like it -I don't- but it would mean something to you.
OK, a personal question. What do you like to see in museums? What do you want to be called as art?
Danto also has an essay called End of Art. Maybe you'd like it, I dunno. This subject is not something I can explain like that. It's about interest, about one's conditioned eye. For example, why hyper-realism has found home in the States? Why isn't there anything 'new' anymore? There really isn't?
I wish we could all get together, and visit art museums in Europe, hell everywhere. We would have sooo much fun. You guys would fall asleep, while I am running around. :p lolol

Landscapes, portraits, sculptures, etc. Mona Lisa, Starry Night, Creation of Adam, Oath of the Horatii, The School of Athens, Liberty Leading the People, Sunday Afternoon On The Island Of La Grande Jatte, etc. Those are the creme de la creme of paintings, imho. Obviously, they're not all that good, but that's the goal to shoot for. Anything in that sort of vein is absolutely fine, imho.
What I don't want to see are consumerist logos, urinals, blank canvas, or bananas taped to the wall. Basically, if it can be mistaken for literal trash (https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/art-exhibition-mistaken-for-garbage), I don't want to see it at an art museum.
Imho, the bare minimum standard would be something like Dogs Playing Poker or some kitschy painting with an AT-AT or T-rex painted onto it after the fact.
*edit - while I undoubtedly have a classical bias, I acknowledge that there is lots of good contemporary art and good art is still being made today, even in this bizarroworld where "art" is being produced by AI. Imho, some of the best fantasy art out in the world today adorns mass-produced playing cards (https://www.artstation.com/search?sort_by=relevance&query=magic%20the%20gathering) and some of the best sci-fi art can be found wrapping sci-fi books or video games. Some of it is absolutely meme-worthy (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JbgOz), too.
And yes, video games are art. The game studio hires professional artists who produce art for months or years - concept art, in-game art, art booklets, etc. If you put a bunch of art together, you don't get non-art (https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/04/21/again-with-the-art-stuff), no matter what Pluto-is-a-planet Boomer art critics say.

@Hydra009 Sweetie, that's all fine. But the thing is you cannot exclude the main culture and leave the most of the works done altogether out. Because that's the culture we live in.
We don't get to jump into some 'center', or 'main stream', and say: "STOP!", or "GO THIS WAY".
What we think is 'ideal', and what humanity is going through are two very different things. They almost never meet. As we sow, so shall we reap. This is not a decision somebody makes. Actually, again this is what he means. What's more, it's like wishing peace on earth, Hydra.
I'm just pointing it out that's all.
You know what, it actually feels like a bit that you're interested in history of art...
I see your point (descriptive VS prescriptive), but there actually is a person who decides what is and isn't art - the person who decides what can and can't be on display at the art museum. Same for music and comedy and basically everything else - there are boundaries, fuzzy and subjective (or inter-subjective) as they can be.

Yeah, but mostly about the commercial value, no? Without someone like Warhol, it would be much much worse. Without Warhol we wouldn't have memes, would we? He would LOVE it by the way, lol.
I like that you are interested in history of art. I have bad news though. As an art historian, I think 95% of art history is bullshit, while the 5% is crucial for humanity. Most of the at historians would tell you that 'but, how that's important'. It's not. However, unfortunately you need to swim through that 95% bullshit I'm afraid. And you should. (I promise you, you'll have so much fun.) And that's the reason why I'm writing all these. I want you -and everybody else- to o lay back and enjoy their species. You know..."these are Pyramids, that's Mico's pieta...that's blah blah and that's the fucking soup cans...". Because that's what we are. :D
Yeah, I guess I gotta take the bad with the good. Definitely familiar with that as a scifi fan.
Around here in NC, we don't so much have utterly bad art as just painfully mediocre art. But at least we have the stargate rings:

Now with AI taking over every artform, even music, there's little point in art anymore. You could spend years honing your craft through hard work, study techniques, buy tools to increase your range, and spend hours making something special, or you could give an AI a prompt and have them do it for you in seconds. And if you choose the former, your work will just be buried by AI crap anyway.
A few years ago, if you told me art would be "democratized," as they like to put it, I would have imagined new technology that stimulates parts of the brain used to create art, not paying for access to an AI that does all the fucking work for you. Who the hell asked for this distopian bullshit?
(https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/bob-iger-social-featured.jpg)
Ah.
AI just will make traditional art more valuable and expensive. Hand made products are always more valuable. It won't replace it. Similar things were said about photography in the past. It didn't replace paintings, though people were expecting that.
AI won't replace a lot of things people expect it would. Everybody is telling me that translation is the one first to become history. How? Translators are not translating words or sentences, we are translating meanings and culture(s). The nuances, variables are astronomical, and insane. Language doesn't work that way. And it's alive it changes, grows, diminishes everyday. At most, we will work with AIs, and actually that would be amazing.
So, like mine, AI will impact jobs in the way like the people work with AI vs the people that don't. It's not going to really replace anything.

I don't have such an optimistic expectation for AI in the near future. The difference between the invention of AI and photography is that the latter created a new form of art. A painting of a flower and a photograph of one are very different. By contrast, AI art imitates real art. Right now, it is imperfect, so someone with a good eye can spot the difference. But AI art is advancing quickly. Last year, it felt like anything with hands or text would give away that the picture was AI generated. There would be too many fingers, too many hands, text would be nonsense gibberish like "polpolti." Now, those things aren't an issue.
Hell, AI has even figured out how to make music now. You can feed it lyrics, or if that is too much work, let the AI come up with its own. Just give the AI a brief description of what you want, and within a few seconds, you've got a new song.
Where will this lead? Naturally, it will lead to less money being spent on real art. Hollywood will use AI to replace writers. All they'll need to do is go, "Write me a movie script for Star Wars: Episode 52," and there you go. No need to pay writers. You think they care about originality or quality? No. They just want to make money, and they've shown they're more than willing to underpay and overwork their writers, CGI artists, etc to cut costs. Eliminating them with AI is the natural next step.
They don't even need real actors. Are you aware that Disney has been building a collection of faces of both living and dead actors for years? Once Mark Hamill is dead, that won't stop them from using his face for Luke Skywalker. Right now, they barely use the living actor at all. Sure, he's technically there for filming, but it's mostly just a formality. They don't NEED him to be physically present.
"But AI can only imitate. It can't create something orignal."
Maybe. For now at least. But let's assume this remains true indefinitely. Say you're a musician who invents a new genre. As soon as it's on the internet, the AI goes, "Yoink! That's mine now!" Now the new genre you invented is being flooded with AI, and the work of human musicians is completely buried immediately.
Have you been on Facebook lately? Don't recommend it, but there's a funny thing people have been noticing lately. The platform is quickly being taken over by AI. You have countless pages dedicated to AI art, which isn't even very good. But if you look in the comments, everyone seems to be praising it. Very strange. It's obvious AI art. Not even slightly convincing. Then people realized the commentors are all AI! They're posting AI art, then artificially boosting it with engagement with AI comments and likes. Nothing is safe! Nothing is real anymore! Am I real? Who knows!
Even Google isn't safe. It sucks now. Websites made by experts are being killed off by AI generated nonsense, using buzzwords that catch the search engine's attention. The only consistent way to find something written by humans is to follow your prompt with "Reddit." Who even knows how long that will work. Google certainly isn't going to address the problem. Why should they care? You, the user are the product to them, not the customer. They use the money from selling your data to kill all the competition, so you can't even find a better search engine. So, the entire internet is turning into an AI generated cesspool.
Currently, the government is actually doing their job and considering whether or not Google is violating anti-trust laws (which they clearly are), and if they do the right thing, they MAY force Google to split up or something. But will that fix the issue, or would Google's future competition use the same shitty practices that make them a ton of money? Who can say? I'm not optimistic. I have no reason to think things won't continue to get worse.
What is "creativity"? Why is some art, music, and film considered to be so great by so many? Why does it invoke emotions in us? So many questions like this will be confronted and analyzed as AI proliferates.
"What a brave new world, that has such art in it."

I've removed my unpleasent response. But honestly, lack of historical perspective annoys me to no end. If I ever do it, don't be merciful.
Photography was not regarded as art at the beginning, despite people tought it would replace paintings. Photography had to battle for being a fine art. Even when it was regarded as art, it had to fit certain traits and norms. Then came the era with smart programs, filters, special effects. This time this wasn't art. Then...Zzz Now all it is art.
Having your portrait made is still very expensive. And people still do.

Photography made a new medium. It still involves a lot of creative decisions from the photographer. What new form of art will AI lead to? I see no scenario where the direction of AI suddenly shifts to become anything less dystopian. It's already getting to the point where AI is being considered for movies and video games to replace real talent. If people don't push back against it consistently, we'll soon be getting video games where character dialog is being generated on the spot, instead of written by humans and voice acted by real people. Actually, there's already a mod for Skyrim that does that. The game Suck Up uses AI to generate responses to you in real time.
Its use in Skyrim is interesting. The devs had neither the time nor resources to give the NPCs anything beyond a couple of stock responses. With AI procedural generation, you could theoretically get much more fleshed out NPCs who can talk about all sorts of things and "remember" conversations.
Don't expect super high-quality dialogue, but it could definitely improve upon "Do you get to the cloud district very often?" stock dialogue.

I'm okay with this sort of thing in mods. If TESVI had AI generated responses packaged in, I would not buy it. Skyrim's dialog isn't the best, but it's still human. A person came up with the line, "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee." And the first time I heard that, I thought it was hilarious. Not so much the 10,000th time, but you know. An AI might create a more immersive experience, but you'd lose the hand-crafted charm of human written dialog. Even if AI could figure out how to write stuff like that, it would still feel hollow, because a machine without intention or passion came up with it.
A game like Suck Up, however, can't exist without AI. The entire point of the game is to convince NPCs to invite you, a vampire, into their home. That kind of game can only work with dialog invented on the fly. So I'm kind of okay with this specific case.
The problem is I don't think publishers will keep AI constrained to user made MODs and concepts that require AI in order to work. They're going to try to use AI in games like The Elder Scrolls and Cyberpunk, and I'm afraid a significant portion of the playerbase will be like, "Oh, cool! The NPCs can say anything!"
I agree. Like procedural generation before it, AI can help fill in some details and automate some busy work to help devs make better games. But like procedural generation, it can be used as a crutch to the detriment of the entire project.
A.I. is going to do what it's currently doing. As that video with Studio Ghibli shows, it doesn't appeal to actual artist. It does appeal to people who don't know how to make art and have no desire to learn.
It will not replace real art. What it will do it poison the fields where those artist cut their teeth and build up their skills. Red Lobster put out commercials with A.I. generated music. Writing that music used to be how someone would make some money until their actual art broke through. That market will dry up because it will be cheaper to make a computer do it.
This is cutting the legs off of art. Rarely does an artist spring fully formed from Zeus's forehead. They have to work their way up, but now a computer will do all that grunt work.
I recall seeing something where there is no one who really understands computers anymore, and therefore no one to fix things when they break. This explains the IT dept at work, now that I think of it.
So now this is creeping into other places. There will be no skilled people who can write prose of music anymore because those lower level markets where they could support themselves while building their skills will be gone and they'll all have to get real jobs.
When the "I" stands for "Inspiration" we might have something there.

I very much doubt this. If anything, there are more computer experts than ever. But the ratio of people who know how computers work compared to people who use them has declined over the years as the number of computer users has exploded - virtually everyone now has at least one, even if it's just a cell phone.
And my deepest sympathies to the IT department because the cause of any given problem can now be one of a number of different things. You have to go down the list and eliminate all sorts of things, hence the "have you tried turned it off then on?" or "is the cable connected?" seemingly dumb questions.
Personal experience: almost all problems originate in either layer 1 or layer 8.

Where is going to lead to... I don't know. But my guess is that people will play with it to no end and it could become a new medium. (Why is it so bad?) It will get to homes and down to everyone interested to use all the new traits it offers. Some people will master it... People will create perfectly real looking people, landscapes, objects, creatures, architecture, real life places, homes... anything possible to enjoy. There will be exhibitions, buying-selling, a market for it... People will have their favourites framed and hung in their homes...etc.
After a tipping point, which usually happens with it's becoming a daily thing, it will settle. It will become something most people can do. That's the crucial thing in all this about art.
When something can be mastered by most people, it becomes the norm, it loses its value. Because doesn't matter how good, how realistic, how breath taking an AI image is, it can be generated at will. Just like that, in abundance for no hard effort. It's also free. It can be duplicated exactly the way it is for millions of times, and it would be the exact same thing without the tiniest difference. Easy come, easy go.
But an art work created by human hand is exactly the opposite of all that. First of all, it's very hard to come by. I don't just mean the talent, the hard work; technique of drawing/painting/sculpting something beautiful or naturalistic or 'perfect' if you will. Art is not about creating a beautiful image. Art doesn't need anything specific to affect people. An art work that can stir feelings, emotions, thoughts, reflection, inspiration in human beings can be imitated, definitely forgered, but cannot be duplicated. It's unique. It's created as a unique object in a unique time of its own. You cannot possess it just because you want it then and there. (Honestly, it usually possess people.) Zeitgeist, time, place, culture... These are too grand concepts, yet even a small canvas created by the 'right' concurrence, can carry them all.
It is rare. I dare to say, VERY rare. It's a handful. It's about being human, it's about being the animal ruling among all animals. I know this sounds like grandstanding, but it is not, it's just art's nature. I always say that that art is the most presumptuous thing humans invented-created. And when I say that, people usually take it down as a cynical comment. But Art itself is the grandstanding.
Science, for example, is understanding nature, explaining-defining its phenomena; predict its future behaviour, position. Finding out what is reality like; disabusing ourselves from our delusions; learning WHAT we are. But we try to do that by penetrating nature's inner workings; we steal from nature, we transform it, return it, and along the way by understanding it, we make our lives easier.
But art... Since from the moment a primate has drawn something on a stone, painted something on pottery, a cave wall, it's trying to get back to something it was separated from by consciousness. More, trying to make nature of itself; get the better of it. It's about learning WHO we are. How insane is that? We are animals. We are not even a speck of dust in nature. (Did you know that some anthropologists think that we sapients could be the only human like species who adorn itself, the objects they use and the environment around them, and that could be the crucial point in us being the -genocidal- survivors of all human like species? Why an animal would paint a little cup that it uses every day? What's the meaning of it? It's mind blowing. Why?)
So, yes every medium gets included in that. But in the end it comes back to what we do with our hands. Puritanistic? While we are the champions of all sorts of puritanism, this is a natural instinct. Sounds trivial and funny, but we can't put our hands in a box or leave them to charge in the evenings before go to sleep. So while it goes full throttle with whatever new we get our hands on, on the other hand it snaps at back the old generic. At most times, old becomes fresh and new at some point. This could take a 100 years, or far more or less. These things run much bigger and longer than the terms of human life span.
You know that traditional art works have provenances? This could play a key role about digital art development in my opinion. In a world AI can imitate everything, people would need to ask a proof of how a product created. The meaning of forgery would change, lol.
So yes, I don't know. But in a nutshell, your concerns are old concerns in my opinion. It's not a new CATEGORY. We've been through that, we still have that, we live in it. I don't think AI is going to be a new problem in this sense.
IF something happens that wold open a new category -as in category of things- in human culture, though I don't know what could be that big but, yes, it is a problem, but then the human life as we know would change altogether. There are very few things that exist. Everything else is a derivative of something primitive and it includes its origin. So is AI.
[A few times here in AF, I've written about a comparison between the invention of the printing press (in the West), its consequences and the invention of internet and its consequences. Because I observe similarities. Extreme scepticism; loss of center... Humanity has gone through that before. Last times it's gone for something like 200 years. Who knows what's gonna happen this time. But to give an ironic example, what 4chan kids have done at the beginning of the 2000s is pretty much like what German kids have done in 1900s, LOL. Anyway, this got long enough.]

I quit after I had a heart attack, but since I had no access to the stuff I didn't jones for it and had no issues with those who were still smoking.

I was in SoCal when I quit. My friends knew me well enough. They took me out to the Mojave Desert and put me in a cave that was well stocked. Then they drove away. One week later I was swearing that I'd never smoke again. Had to apologize to the coyotes that I beat up.

The Wrath of Ma'at
Ma'at was the goddess of truth, justice, and morality. She was the daughter of Ra and wife of the moon god, Thoth. She weighed the hearts of the dead to decide who should have eternal joy in the afterlife. Her Feather of Truth was the determining factor. Once placed on a scale, if the deceased's heart was heavier than her feather, they would not be permitted to journey to paradise. If the heart was deemed too heavy, a demon would devour it, causing the deceased to die a second time.

*A finger tightens on the monkey's paw*In the distance - metaphorically since it's the internet, but I suppose also literally since they are spatially distant - ten thousand food bloggers stop churning out novel-length recipes about Old Nan's cheddar biscuits that she used to make every winter in rural Maine which remind you so much about seafood platters at the family's Christmas dinner, lost love, and somehow also patriotism...
What was I talking about? Oh, right.
Welcome to walls-o-text movie reviews complete with almost indecipherable jargon and just a bit too much focus on just a few of the individual people working on it to the almost complete exclusion of talking about the actual story. As an example, here's Deadpool and Wolverine:
Sean Levy's tertius object d'art left me stunnedWhat can't be said about this summer's semenial hit? It's flowery and earthy with epervescent notes of comedic brilliance. Ryan Reynolds '(Deadpool) comedic $noun is Pure genious and Hugh Jackman tears through the dialogue. Emma Corrine disappears into her role, elevating her character to new prominance.
Sean Levy - now a household name throughout the world - is at the top of his directing form game, doing directing by bringing together lots of different elements into one cohesive hole. This rip-roaring action romp is sure to be an experience.
Why, it reminds me of summers with my old Nan and her award-winning cheddar biscuits...

For me, it was NCR, Boomers, BoS, and somehow also a handful of Enclave Remnants against the Legion, who had all its allies systematically wiped out before the battle. The Legion got hit simultaneously by a power-armored vanguard backed by elite crackshots and oodles of regular troops, all with excellent fire support. They didn't just get beat, they got massacred.

There's literally a scene in Office Space about destroying the printer that gave them all so much grief. lol
This has been a constant problem.
I shared an office with three other T/As when I was at Purdue. We had our own printer. Of course it broke the first day I was in that office, angry glances my way... They called Support who sent a guy over. He opened the printer, took three sheets of paper out of the feed tray and close it. It immediately started printing our items.
The tech said "Hail, Cthulhu!" and left.

A have a short story where a guy gets lost in a haunted forest and is desperately trying to find his way back out. It's too cloudy to see the sun and the forest is like a maze.
Then he remembers that moss only grows on the north side of trees. So he finds some moss next to a tree and decides that that way is north. Then he finds some more on the opposite side and becomes disheartened when he sees a bunch of trees with moss in every direction. He's a bit of a loveable dummy lol

(Among those who don't give a fuck how other people sleep.)
I started sleeping in my jeans when I was in my last semester in college. I saw changing into pajamas as an unnecessary use of time and opted to skip it. Now that I have free time, I prefer sleeping in pajamas.
Jeans are comfy, but they're inherently stiff and not very breathable, which is great outdoors but not great indoors. PJs are more flexible and breathable, which is wonderful in bed.

I love it when documents are redacted so much, they tell you literally nothing.
Even a simple sentence like "I was the second shooter on the Grassy Knoll" can be misinterpreted if you cut it up too much.
Quote from: Blackleaf on July 12, 2024, 01:24:42 PMI love it when documents are redacted so much, they tell you literally nothing.
That one's only a very tiny redaction. Names and exact locations are typically redacted. This stuff is supposed to be classified, after all. Can't tell you everything. And of course, the photo itself is redacted as a gag because you're supposed to imagine what sort of photo of someone smiling would be so horrendous that they'd immediately be sent to see a psychiatrist.
But some articles are so heavily redacted that they might as well have used a black paint-roller over it. Sometimes, it's gratuitous. Sometimes, it's just enough to be intriguing or spooky. Sometimes, it's the SCP screwing with the article.
They've reined it in a bit over the years, but writers still sometimes go overboard and use it as a crutch to avoid having to go into detail (details are good!)
I remember Sheldon Cooper smiling and thinking he needed professional help! 🤣

In all fairness to Spielberg, Jurassic Park was made before any direct evidence of feathered dinosaurs existed. The hypothesis that some dinosaurs might have had feathers began gaining traction in the 1970s, but the evidence was mostly limited to similarities in skeletal structure. Direct evidence of feathered dinosaurs didn't exist until after the discovery of Sinosauropteryx, Sinornithosaurus a close relative of Velociraptor, Microraptor and Caudipteryx later in the 90s.

I think most probably know about the size thing. I was just pointing out that the lack of feathers is understandable given the date the first movie came out. I can also forgive them for not changing the raptors in the next 5 movies. Changing their look or what they were called would have been a serious, and unnecessary, change to the fictional story.
I was also just trying to provide a little historical info on we went from some dinosaurs might have have feathers to some for sure did and many/most may have.

Hell, I know people that think dinos and people lived at the same time. I brought my 6" megalodon tooth to my dentist's office. Thought they would marvel at it.

The feathers could have been introduced by a single line "Further refinement of the raptor genes produced a spontaneous reversion to their original feathered state."

Tell me about it. I once posted an image that showed Huntsville, where we live, almost dead center of the bible belt. There are 7 churches, a synagogue, and a mosque within a mile of our house. We are about 100 yards from a Church of Christ, and a few extra steps on top of that to a Korean Methodist church. The Baptist church about half a mile away has congregation that numbers in the thousands. The mosque down the road is in the same building as a massage parlor, lol.

The original movie already had the built in excuse that the genomes of the dinos were incomplete and had to be filled in with other animals. Why they chose toads instead of birds, I have no idea (other than plot convenience, to allow them to change sex). But corrections to their designs based on new information could have easily been justified this way. They just didn't, because audiences were used to the scaley dinos and didn't think they'd be as scary with feathers.
At the time there was an absolute blizzard of dinosaur oriented TV shows. I was recording 4-6 hours a week of those for my paleontology prof. He tried to get me to volunteer to go to Antarctica for a semester, the bastard. Was NOT going to happen.

His name was John Bandy. I googled him and Star Trek, and he did show up in a 1996 Sun Sentinel new article, but they want money to read it. I knew him back in the mid to late 80s. Fridays were dress-down days, and he would regularly wear Star Trek jerseys with insignia and greet you with Klingon salutations. The shelves in cubicle were loaded with Star Trek memorabilia. He was the first serious adult fan-boy type I had ever encountered and I found it interesting.

I was the spitting image of the first guy.

So now - reluctantly - I'm the second guy. And now my reaction is my best Owen Wilson impression followed by shaking my head and continuing with the task.

If aliens have been observing us, they'd stay the Hell away.
"They're destroying their own planet. Mass extinctions everywhere. Global warming. Stockpiles of nuclear weapons. Tons of self-imposed problems. This species is absolutely psychotic."

"Nah. Give them a few generations. They'll destroy themselves. Let's keep searching. There must be intelligent life SOMEWHERE out there."

The "paradox" annoys me. It suggests aliens would have a reason to come here.
Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on September 01, 2024, 07:26:30 AMThe "paradox" annoys me. It suggests aliens would have a reason to come here.
The "paradox" is that we can't seem to find them. It's not really a paradox, though, because we don't know how prevalent life
should be. Plus, there are huge limits in our ability to search for life. There could be thousands of planets in our galaxy with life on them, and we'd never know about them.
I suspect that life isn't that rare at all, given how quickly life developed here once the Earth was calm enough. There's even evidence to suggest that life might have started, completely died out, and then started a second time, although this is still up for debate. Even if alien life exists, though, that doesn't guarantee that it is intelligent. We're the only species with our level of intellect that has ever evolved on this planet. For all we know, we're a fluke, not an inevitability.
"conundrum" would be better, I think.
Oh, and "quickly" doesn't come in billions of years.
In Tegmark's book, The Mathematical Universe, he says that intelligent life likely doesn't exist anywhere else in our observable universe. He uses an argument based on, I think he called it, the logarithmic universal prior.
It's been a bunch of years since I read the book, though, so I don't really recall exactly how the argument was phrased.
I've certainly seen very little intelligent life in the observable universe.
Not even much intelligent life on this planet!
I think the "probability of alien lifeform" formulas are interesting but useless. If we manage to ever create life in a lab, that will go a long way towards a more accurate prediction. That idea of creating life in the lab kinda scares me.

The formula was just a way to list the various issues and relate them.
I think that if the universe is spatially infinite, then there must be intelligent species out there somewhere. The real question then becomes: how far away from us are they?

Yeah, lots of headlines about that but I also read that much of this RNA work could just be a dead end. Wouldn't it be fun if it evolved almost instantaneously and ate all of us.

That could be the case. For all we know, simple life could have even arrived here on a meteorite. Perhaps evolving intelligence is ironically a guaranteed species-killer.

If the universe is spatially infinite, then anything that
can happen (no matter how improbable)
will happen - an infinite number of times.
According to Brian Greene, in his book The Hidden Reality, even the Earth, exactly as we know it, must exist an infinite number of times, so that you and I and everyone we've ever known also exist out there an infinite number of times. He even gives a distance to our nearest "cosmic twins" (my term) as 10^10^122 meters away.

Infinity is a number that presents many conundrums. Works much better in pure math than in physics. Does a mathematic point in space really exist? It is tricky taking half of a distance, an infinite number of times in the real world. It's hard to put pen to paper in math world.

Panspermia requires unpowered transferal from one solar system to another light years away. Imagine looking up at the sky on a clear night, no moon. Now imagine you throw a rock in the general direction of those stars. Then you wait. And wait. And wait. ad infinitum.
If life used to exist on Mars back when it had water, I don't think it's impossible that a rock containing microscopic life could have made its way here. I was surprised to learn recently that we do have Martian rocks here on Earth that just fell here over time. But yeah, I'd wager life probably originated here.
Earth and Mars are in the Goldilocks zone. The original zone was well out from the Sun and as old Sol settled down the zone shrank inward, less frisky sun. So Mars would have been in the zone sooner than Earth, a good argument that, all else being equal, Mars would have developed life first. Now the asteroid belt, out past Mars, would have been a contender if that rubble had formed into a planet and cooled off "on schedule". But that didn't happen. So, if we find signs of past life on Mars I'd put money on that life being prior to Earthly life, and a possible source for Earth life via impact transfer. But that's a lot of ifs. Of course life beginning spontaneously on Earth has as many ifs without the transfer option.

That's not my understanding of how it went. The sun is getting more luminous over time. It is thought it is currently about 30% more luminous now than it was 5 billion years ago. So the Goldielocks zone is getting larger not smaller.
Mars is thought to have been most suitable for life during the Noachian period about 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago. After that it began to lose it's atmosphere. They have dated micro fossils found in Austrialia to 3.77 billion years ago. There is chemical evidence of life on Earth dating back to 4.1 billion years ago. So while life on Mars may have started a little eralier than on Earth, and life on Earth may have even been seeded by life from Mars. The two planets were capable of supporting life at about the same time as far as geological time scales go.
You're probably righter than I am. But Mars cooled quicker than Earth, size-wise and all else being mostly equal.
Must ask Ben Bova.
The crazy thing is that life itself changed the atmospheric composition of our planet. The interdependency of higher plants and animals is critical.
I think that there is only one living organism on this planet - the Earth's biosphere.
James Lovelock called it Gaia, but too many people have taken that to mean that Gaia is a goddess, with a mind and intentions, so I don't use that term for it any longer.
I think of it as an egg, that will someday hatch into whatever it will become, but it is no more a goddess than is Mars or any other planet.
Maybe it won't hatch at all - maybe it won't manage to survive long enough to do so. But I won't be around long enough to see it in any event.

There's a YouTube channel I randomly found a few days ago which explores "dead malls." Places that are technically still open, but are clearly on life support, often with only one tiny area that is accessible to the public. He ignores that and explores the forbidden areas. Some of these malls are places I've been to. It's so surreal. There are so few malls left, thanks in large part to Amazon.
What did they do with the packs of feral school kids?
I honestly don't know where kids go to have fun anymore. You can technically window shop on Amazon in the same room as your friends, but that wouldn't really feel the same.
If I was sixty years younger I'd ask some of my friends.

People will support those things if you wrap it in terms like "small government" and "trickle-down economics". Basically, you gotta trick a whole generation to betray its economic and civil interests by convincing them that their interests are instead tied to the oligarchs' wealth/power.

That's not "well".
A cat's definition of "well" and ours may not coincide.
We have a cartoon from an old comic posted on the fridge, "Luann", which shows the girl sleeping. Then her dog barks like an idiot until she wakes, and lays back down and goes to sleep, leaving her wide-awake. I sleep with ear plugs because first, my sons used to be pretty noisy, and second because one of my sons has a beagle/dachshund mix, which goes outside to the back yard (or not) and barks like an eejit.
I have a white noise app on my phone that I turn on at bedtime, because my roommate leaves his TV on all night. I have lots of different noises I can use, but I prefer the rain on a tent sound. It's soothing and reminds me of times when I was homeless, when the sound of rain on my tent was comforting.
My best sleep was nights on my father's old trawler. Gentle waves rocking you and some wind in the wires, and I was out like a light.

Cats sleep a lot, but it's not all at once. They only sleep for a few minutes at a time. I've heard it suggested that cats will sometimes check on their humans at night to make sure they're okay.

It's a swimmer. Estimated to prey on 2 meters of ancient sword fish. Strong guess because, when this cute thing's around there were also two other carnivores. It's improbable for all of them to compete for prey and survive. Northern Africa was forest around then. Well, this fellow was all about the edge, the water...fishing around.

Wife and I had Chinese for lunch. I was going to eat half and save the rest. But it was so good I finished it. Big mistake. 🤷�♂️ A small dinner will be consumed.

I was hungry yesterday, after I got back from an echocardiogram, so I went to the local Panda Express and had a lot of Chinese food: 2 orders of shrimp, each with fried rice, an order of mushroom chicken, 2 spring rolls, and an egg roll.
I had a great time eating all that! 🐖

Ruh roh raggy!
You know, the first Joker was in theaters when my family got together for my birthday and they suggested we go see it. My dad also wanted to go to Best Buy to see about getting a laptop, which my brother shot down because that would be boring for everybody. But I was telling him in the car to the restaurant that I had no interest in seeing Joker. He asked me if I would really rather watch our aging parents shop for a laptop and I said with the firmness and sobriety reserved for a death row conviction that I would. I don't even care that it became a cultural touchstone for incels. It was not the first touchstone I never touched and will be far from the last.
So they made a sequel to it. I hope I don't have to remind everybody that I have zero interest in ever seeing these movies but I already know I will.
There have always been crazy people, they seem of have written most of the histories. Doesn't mean they're interesting to read or watch.
I didn't see the first Joker and I'm sure I won't see the new one, either.

As for why toilet paper? Because people don't want to use newspaper or paper towels. And they're stupid. If everybody cleared the bread off the shelves every morning, we'd suddenly have a bread shortage, and most of it would be rotting in some hoarder's pantry. They're creating their own problem.

Right? Wife went and got groceries (I used to do it, but this arthritis precludes me from walking too far, even with a cane) and got a 36-pack of toilet paper along with the rest of the week's purchases. We have enough for a few more weeks, but this purchase was in self-defense. It'll be xmas before we buy more, if then. Yes, people are stupid. She makes quilts, and if it came right down to it, she has enough material to make reusable wipes from them. Nasty in the laundry, but not all that different from laundering diapers. I hope that never happens.
When I was a kid, there were times when we had to use leaves to wipe our asses. Just had to make sure we didn't accidentally use the wrong kind of leaves.

Let's not be rash about this.
Me reading posts of people who didn't like or didn't watch the first joker movie and halloween is being neglected:

1) Halloween stuff has been out since September. If anything, it's steadily growing in popularity.
2) Joker one was a well-made film - it was shot well, acted well, decent plot, fantastic descent into madness and psychopathy, timely political message. At the time, everyone was complaining about "superhero fatigue" and we got something completely different - a grounded setting, a character study, intense, uncomfortable scenes with a few twists and turns along the way. And even that wasn't enough for some people. Was it flawless? No. (We live in a society) But it was an instant classic. Certainty worth a look far more than Cats or Rise of Skywalker, which came out the same year.
3) Bad people liking something doesn't make something bad. Yes, incels loved the Joker movie (and forgot that the Joker is actually the villain). You know who else loved it? 8-9 people out of every 10.
I only go to watch movies when my wife twists my arm, which generally still isn't successful. Last movie I saw in a theater was the new Robin Hood. I despise the entire movie experience, as well as most television programming. My wife went to visit her cousins in Switzerland, but I stayed home. If I'm going to get my pocket picked, it'll at least be in my own country. When she was gone, the circuit breaker box was replaced. The TV got unplugged the day that happened, and didn't get plugged in again until the day after she got home, if that gives you an idea of how little I think of general TV programming. 🤔
Last movie I saw in a theater was that Indiana Jones one about time traveling with a device that wasn't a time machine.

The other factions unite against House Lannister and launch an assassination plot with the wildfire stored under King's Landing. King's Landing is destroyed along with all Lannisters except Tyrion, who betrayed them. The throne is destroyed and because everyone has come to hate the mad lust for power, no one wants to be king/queen anymore. Dany arrives on Westeroes only to find that it is now an anarcho-syndicalist commune with no need of royalty or dragons. The white walkers are cancelled due to climate change no longer being considered real and the problem being declared to be over after 5 days of partial lockdowns (unobserved in 3 out of the 7 kingdoms)

It is likely that people living on the Italian penisula were exposed to dates as early as the 8th century bce if not before through trade. The Etruscans in central and northern Italy and the Greek colonies in southern Italy and Sicily probably imported dates as a luxury item. The Carthaginian Empire also traded widely in dates and had formal trade relations with the ealry Roman Republic. During this time the Carthaginians exported grains, olive oil, dates, textiles and dyes, metal goods, and ceramics. The Romans exported wine and olive oil, timber and iron, pottery, and livestock.
So yes, Romans probably ate dates at least 1,000 years pefore Islam was a thing. Probably closer to 1,500 years.
The Egyptians LOVED putting honey on everything. And I guarantee that the Romans would've noticed that, probably long before Egypt became part of the Empire. So yeah, definitely before Islam.
Honey is good for preserving some foods. Some people think it has antiseptic properties.

It absolutely does have some antiseptic properties (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3609166/). It was famously used to treat wounds by Egyptians and Greeks. I wouldn't prefer it to modern antiseptics, but it's much better than nothing.

I just stuffed those things wherever I could. The thought that the pieces would have names never occurred to me. They're fucking pixels! Then again, I have a 5 pound copper-headed dead-blow hammer that I have nicknamed Mjölnir, and a five-foot long wrecking bar I named Lochinvar, just for the rhyme; but it reminds me of when I met my wife-to-be, and swooped in on her. I think that the guy she studied with in the library before I met her had designs, but just Like Lochinvar, I danced her out the door.
As a side note, I worked as a mechanic for many years, and used that hammer to install dozens of pistons into engines I was rebuilding...using the wood handle, of course; I'm not a complete barbarian.
I retired from the USN as a Machinist Mate Chief Petty Officer. If I'd caught you with that hammer I'd have ... borrowed it.

Well, it's called Anatolia. Anatolia Peninsula. It's western Asia, but I think, it comes from East in Greek. And it's Eastern Roman Empire, which is a part of north-western Mezopotamia, all meaning Levant. Freaking Middle East...

Yeah, but if genetic drift breaks things enough, the line ends. When you look at the success rate, extinction of a species is the nominal result. Of course, a couple hundred million years is pretty dam good! And then came us...

I spent the night in a sleeping bag with an anaconda once. Went on a trip to see the fresh water dolphins on a tributary of the Amazon. Two days by boat because we were dicking around (and the boat guy was getting paid handsomely). The first night we tied up to the bank and the skipper asked everybody to bunk down below decks. Ever hear eight men snoring in a small space? I went back on deck with my sleeping bag. Next morning they were giving me shit about being still in the rack. Except the skipper. He just got a broom and started whacking on the end of the sleeping bag. I could feel it moving up my body as it headed for the mooring line he'd used as bridge to the boat. He came out of the bag, and out of the bag, out of the bag, out of the bag, out of the bag, out of the bag and finally cleared it. I almost succumbed to the insane giggles, but managed to keep my shit together. Barely.

Never read any of the Potter novels, so unfamiliar with the characters. I will say though, that one of my neighbors bears this "Dobby" a striking resemblance...or vice-versa.
My third wife wanted to be a children's librarian, went to IU for a degree. When the HP books came out she sensed a major boost to children reading instead of rotting in front of the boob tube.
So, when each book came out she would buy two and we'd race through them so we could do the critique. It was fun, we argued about all the hints and portents until they were resolved.

The sock was a slick trick Harry pulled on the senior Malfoy. He returned the murdered diary of Voldemort to Malfoy who disgustedly thrust it to Dobby. He inadvertently gave Dobby "clothes", consisting of one of Harry's socks tucked into the book.

Artistic license. Pineapple is more easily recognized as pineapple when it is in one piece. It's like how people who have eaten a lot are depicted as having a bulging belly, when really, it's the head that grows larger and larger.
I remember reading claims that the Japanese residents on Oahu had cut "arrows a hundred feet long!" in the Dole pineapple plantations so the incoming raiders could find the harbor. Then I looked at the archive pictures. A 600+ foot battleship showed as less than an inch long from cruising height. Another entry in the "stupid people" file.

In fact, we almost act like tribes of apes for some strange reason.
Smart enough to invent world-ending weapons, but dumb enough to think that world is flat.
Smart enough to create modern medicines that increase our life expectancies dramatically, but dumb enough to think that vaccines cause autism.
Smart enough to realize that they're being fucked over, dumb enough to think it's the illegal immigrants and people on social welfare who are the sources of their problems.
Smart enough to know that the government should stay out of their religion, but dumb enough to think it's no problem when it's the other way around.
Our stupid monkey brains haven't evolved much since 12,000 years ago. We're long overdue a software patch. Or a hardware change. Or both.
Not the masses though. Masses are not smart to know anything if you ask me. People who invent/think of what's to carry humanity forward are few, the minority actually grasps it. The rest doesn't give any effort to think.
It's exactly works the way scientists say about how human brain works unfortunately. You know that famous anology? If you extend your arm, make a thumb up and draw a circle around you, human brain is programmed not to think outside of that if it can avoid it. Because it needs extra energy to do that. And human brain is probably the most costly, expensive thing in nature. It evolved to economize and cut back when and where it can.
In my opinion, you learn to think outside of that by yourself when you're young. May be as a child. That's why education is priceless. And then you do it when there is enough stimulation, need. Tons of people don't learn that. First of all, the religion is designed to suppress it. And then the tribe mentality.
Are we done monkeying around with old movies?

That's not how you're supposed to do it? If you don't keel over after a few hours of being zonked out while visualizing the book's scene, are you truly reading at all?
I helped build a Barnes and Noble store in Santa Rosa, Ca. about 30 years ago. I started out, as a laboror, at $8 bucks an hour. After one week, they gave me a dollar raise, and after another week they gave me another dollar raise and put me in charge of the labor crew.
Out of 18 B&N stores that were being built around the country we were the only one that got done on time.
I interviewed for a job with them once, they said I was overqualified. The trauma was such that I never applied for another job anywhere. Worked nicely.

Is it a good idea to start investing now? I don't know. Feels like a crash is inevitable at this point.
I do technically have stock in HEB. Employees who have worked full time for four years get stock in the company. Don't think it's publicly traded, and I can't touch it until I leave the company, at which point it's automatically sold. It's good amount of money, though.

That's a really good idea. Because either those investments do well or it doesn't much matter if any investments do well.

I just bought a percentage each paycheck and didn't worry about market value since long term it always goes up. The company 401K matched my investment. Free money. After a crash, even though your balance will go down, now you are buying stocks for cheap so when it goes back up you are extra good. Just $200 a month over the past 30 years would have brought you to around a $Million. The whole economy is a setup so that long term investors win.

Quote from: Hydra009 on November 25, 2024, 07:18:21 PMThat's a really good idea. Because either those investments do well or it doesn't much matter if any investments do well.
Plus, the money largely stays domestic.
Agreed. Even US treasury bonds are not as safe as they once were. I do help fund the government a bunch and they give me a solid 4.5% yield. In a strange twist, since businesses generally make money no matter what, a general stock index fund may even be safer than bonds, but of course more volatile, short term.
Businesses generally making money is true. My wife worked at a corporate headquarters of a bank, and one son works at a major home improvement chain. In either case, it is astonishing that these enterprises make money, given an insight into actual operations.

But then, when you have a lot of money you'll start to think about how to work it. It's a lot of stress, energy, time and needs ambition too. It's like, if you buy a big house then you'll need to fill that in. That's a nightmare in itself. A house should be small, one floor and have 2 rooms at most... Being rich is too costly and too expensive.

People make fun of our tiny galley kitchen. Especially the ones who don't cook, LOL. Not a fan of "great rooms" either. The first thing people do is to make it a small room with furniture positioned around the TV and they end up with large, air-conditioned hallways, looking at the backs of couches. Of course, if we ever have to sell this place, many will not like it with dark wood floors, deeply painted walls and Victorian antiques. The real-estate agent will come in here and want us to redo everything, I am sure.

Even with not a lot of money, one should hire an investment adviser. Unless one already has experience with that. I don't. My retirement 401(k) and lump sum pension amount were invested 10 years ago, and the amount has doubled. I gladly pay these guys a fraction of a percent for their services.

Of course you don't. But When you paint apples with patches of brush strokes, it means a lot for art because, you actually mean that a painter should actually view the world through euclidean geometry. Cubism.
If you ask me, euclidean geometry is bullshit. But unfortunately, noone knows what to put in there, in place of that so...

What is sane washing? Is that a new thing?
"Sanewashing is the act of minimizing the perceived radical aspects of a person or idea in order to make them appear more acceptable to a wider audience. "
Link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanewashing)
So technically, in the most possible un-sane washed look, it's anything done after Edward Bernays? Meaning, the term sane washing was actually sane washed before anyone realized it?
I wonder how many people have blamed illusionists and magicians for that kind of overview a century ago?
These are all bad for our sanity. Thinking in general, I mean. It's bad.
Sanewashing, the inmates have the keys.
Quote from: drunkenshoe on December 05, 2024, 12:52:14 AMWhat is sane washing? Is that a new thing?
The term is new, but not the activity. Essentially, it's a PR/propaganda technique where radical viewpoints are presented in more generally-acceptable terms through euphemistic language or just plain lying by presenting a less radical position. It's a way to get a position more support than it would otherwise receive if it were simply stated outright and accurately.
It crops up more frequently recently because news media must summarize statements that various people make, and accusations of sanewashing pop up when the summary bears little similarity to the statements being summarized. For example, if I were to suggest that poor families should sell their children into slavery to make ends meet, I might be quoted as promoting "ingenious, out-of-the-box thinking" by which I would help poor families "leverage their assets and minimize dependents" to achieve "financial solvency".
Sanewashing derived from whitewashing?
Thought it came from the term brainwashing.
But rather than convincing someone that the earth is flat or that the great leader is a deity... you convince someone that when the great leader says something batshit crazy like 'windmills kill all the birds!' You show only the good clips and provide context which obviously shows that that leader is actually making a decent point about the hypocricy of extreme left-wing environmentalist hippie communists.
That's what I said, whitewashing them. Covers up the defects in their thinking.
I think maybe there is a cultural difference in the meaning of the term 'whitewashing' between us.
Edit; looked it up.
There indeed is your meaning of the word.
And then there is the practice of having white people playing people of other ethnicities. Which, allong withe the idea of systemic undervalueing the input and contributions of non-caucasians, was how i interpreted that word.
Sorry for the confusion
Ah, yes. US here. The term is used to imply that the defects are still there just barely covered up. (Whitewash can be considered very thin paint for this discussion.)
Yeah, I always associate whitewashing with Tom Sawyer and his fence.
Insert dittoness here.
You know, while it is still relevant.

Their ships can move faster than the speed of light with their hyperdrives, and they don't even appear to be affected by the time dilation that usually comes from moving that fast. Star Wars is, as far as I know, limited to the one galaxy, but I'm sure they could reach others with enough determination. I'm not sure how else humans could exist in two different galaxies. lol

As a general rule, relativity isn't a thing in Star Wars. People in ships going faster than light experience time in the same way as those outside the ship. In fact, the authors poke fun at this - one of the few references to relativity in Star Wars are the "relativistic shields" (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Relativistic_shield) which negate time dialation and presumably are so ubiquitous in Star Wars that one malfunctioning makes the news.

If one wants to appear erudite one should look up the quote first. One of my favorites is when people use "wallah" instead of "voilà".
I saw a good movie today. I hope it has a je ne sequel. 🤣
The last couple of years, I've started to confuse English words with very similar pronunciations while writing. It never happened before. And I accidentally catch it, I'm that clueless while doing it. It feels extra weird because I have an unhealthy level of self awareness in odd things due to ADHD. Though I think it changes too. Or now I'm aware it does. Lol.
I saw Sonic 3 (the movie) on my birthday (the 22nd). I liked it. If you're not a Sonic fan or a kid, I don't know how much you'd like it, but I am a fan. To me, it's the best of the three. They've already confirmed Sonic 4 will be happening in a few years, and the mid- and after-credits scene offer hints as to what we might be able to expect.
The movie mostly adapts the story of Sonic Adventure 2. As with the previous movies, it's a loose adaptation, but they hit the major story beats one might expect. I liked their portrayal of Maria as a bit of a goofball. Shadow never smiles at her, but his eyes do get softer, showing he is comfortable around her in a subtle way.
Jim Carrey is pretty good in this too. He plays two characters this time, and the effect is pretty convincing.
Can't really say much else without spoilers. There are some things I liked, some things I didn't, but I overall enjoyed it.
I thought I was in the movie thread. lol

I turn 74 in a few weeks. I asked my VA doctor if I'd make it to 75. He was distracted and replied to what he thought he had heard.
"Yeah, 85, no problem. Keeping you alive has become a hobby for me." I thanked him without correcting.
My best friend is about to turn 85, and he's still 1st in the USA (in his age group) in some of his track and field events, and 3rd in the world in a couple of them! Once he gets to 85, though, he'll be in an older age group, so he'll be among the youngest in that group.
I didn't do track and field, I did pickin' pumpkins in field.

If they were actually skeptical, they wouldn't fall for the conspiracies.
Some conspiracy nuts are skeptical that the "powers that be" will do anything about their pet issue, hence the conspiracy charge. Whether they are "actually skeptical" or not I wouldn't hazard a call unless I knew more about the case.
My conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theories are handcrafted by elites to steer a mob against their enemies.
My conspiracy theory is people convince other people of idiotic ideas that generate conspiracy theories in order to allow covert operations under the smoke screen of stupidity by the general public.

I think that's valid, though. When Nord VPN and others advertise their services, they say it makes you safer from hackers when you're connected to public Wi-Fi. As I understand it, though, those public Wi-Fis are not as vulnerable as they used to be, and I'm not even sure a VPN would help. It supposedly protects your private data, but if you're logged in to Google or something, they already know who you are. lol
It would help you bypass local restrictions, if another country is streaming something yours isn't. Other than that, I'm not sure it's really something the average person can benefit from.

Ironically, that picture is closer to what young earth creationists think is possible, because they actually believe that humans and dinosaurs were around at the same time, about 4,000 years ago.

Basically, in the early game, pawns are in serious danger (since they're the first pieces to fall) but block units in the middle game and become queens in the late game. Knights "fork" other pieces in the middle game. Bishops and rooks and queens are initially useless and held in reserve, but are lethal in the middle and late game. And the King is completely idle in the early game, frequently threatened in the middle game (hence The Shining "here's Jonny!" scene), but can unexpectedly be somewhat powerful in the late game when most other pieces have been cleared from the board.

Play go. It sounds far more logical. I sometimes try with online AIs, unfortunately it needs a lot of practice and work like any good thing. I naturally don't possess the required patience. But it's pretty cool.
There was a book on go written by a couple of French go masters, mocking chess as a board game flexing one's brain. Apparently, it doesn't. You can just memorise it. But It's been a long time, can't remember the name.
I like Twixt and Lines of Action, both easy to understand, but complex to play.
Then there's Feudal, a game similar to chess, but more complicated.

Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on January 29, 2025, 09:27:32 PMMade me slightly interested in Warhammer 40K.
What I've seen so far looks very good - suitably bleak and action-packed.
Though I also like the quiet desperation between the battles - the ceaseless grinding of the cogs of the war machines, medicae centers choked with wounded from nearby fighting then eventually the intake slows to nothing (because of lack of casualties? Or more lethal fighting?), the bureaucratic and logistical nightmare of administering hundreds of thousands of worlds, the political maneuvering and deep animosity just barely not spilling over into violence in the Imperium as a whole and Terra in particular, the rampant gang activity, the wayward ships that encounter strange and inexplicable activity in the ghoul stars region, the workers demolishing those two statues of once-great primarchs...
I actually could really go for just a slice-of-life on one of the rare few worlds untouched by war. Just doing normal things and either totally unable to cope with something so alien as peace or becoming so used to it that the peace seems right and natural and the Imperium seems cruel and inhuman and wrong in comparison. Either way, I could go for a couple guardsmen absolutely going through it there and having some deep discussions in their respite from war.
Also, I kinda don't like "movie marines" who cleave through scores of enemies effortlessly - killing dozens before breakfast and with nary a scratch. Yes, they can theoretically kill 100 standard soldiers by themselves, but they're not often sent against standard soldiers. And they absolutely can and will get attrited over the course of a campaign - the main problem most chapters face is that recruitment lags behind casualties (low "birth" rate, high death rate), so the chapter ends up blowing through its manpower. Once that happens, it either has to merge with some other chapter or use mortals extensively or some other solution. The point is that John Helldiver will absolutely get his ticket punched eventually and I want to see that on screen more often.

Yes. It not only can happen but it also does happen. Rejection of one superstitious belief doesn't necessarily entail the rejection of another.
Even though there's a popular image of atheists as completely rational vulcans, the truth is that people often turn to superstitious beliefs to make sense out of unexplained phrnomena or because of tradition/upbringing, etc. So yes, superstitious atheists do exist.
I second hydra,100%
You may not like it, but it do be that way.
And fine and well to complain that some atheists still don't fully accept reality and plain simple facts.
But when doing so, don't ignore the reality and simple fact of what the definiton of atheism is.
Some atheists believe all kinds of shit. I even know a few that voted for Trump.
The godbotherers want to frame atheism as a belief that the holder claims to know everything. Then they can tear up that strawman and be their pious little shitty selves.

Morning people should be divided into two categories. The first and of course the most valuable category includes the people, who can get up very early, work efficiently and get things done through the day because of the very reason they do get up very early. They don't like to talk, smile and answer questions or in any way interact with people in said hours, sometimes even after they ate. The second category includes the people, who smiles, talks, greets others, often times even make jokes and seem to be enthusiastic about everything around. Obviously, they are expandable, and they should be slapped on the forehead.

Zoo keepers routinely keep gator's jaws closed when they take them in hand. They close the crocodilian jaws with duct tape. Two turns is generally enough. I don't know anyone who is brave enough to not take a couple of extra turns. (I volunteer at the St. Louis Zoo. They know I'm crazy so I get chances to prove it.)

Morrowind is a harsh mistress. Cool gear is nothing without the skills to back it up.
I try to get people to imagine it like this: just handing a random guy a .50 cal sniper rifle won't make him an expert sniper. Only when he has lots of training and experience will he be a good sniper.
You gotta shoot tin cans before you can shoot dragons.
"No clue"
Bruh! It's an RPG! How do you not know your stats?
In Morrowind, specifically, you're going to miss every hit early on. I think you stop missing when your weapon skill reaches level 50, and that can take a while. You gotta start on easy targets, like mudcrabs.
I'll be honest, usually how many stats i need to keep an eye one proportionally makes dislike game more.
- your health is at 80%
- your shields are at 25%
- you are just at the edge of what you can carry, three more punds and you ar encumbered
- and you just drank radiated water, putting that toxic score higher.
- and your machine-gun can only be fired 7 more times before you need to spend 20% of your curreny money to fix it.
- and your shoes are wearing out
- and you should putt some gains into intelligence so you can do some better negotiating
- but don't neglect strength, cause you know, encumberance
- and you should wztch out, one more infraction and that faction will hate you.
-...
Like, dude, hand me my gun or sword and let me kill something. If i wanted a chore list, i'd ask the missus
I used to "swing .50s in a power tub" on a PBR on the Mekong. I had plenty of training, enough to shoot between our boys as they came shagging-ass back to the bank for a ride home. I did cheat a bit, I knew a one-legged Marine who had a .50 and I shoveled his horse stalls for trigger time. Got pretty good. He was amazing with that thing. Commandant awarded it to him. I can only imagine what his skill level would be if our tally floated over our heads like in the games.

I agree that overly-complicated systems are annoying, and I'm not a huge fan of survival/durability stats, but I will definitely go to bat for attributes and skills. Those essentially tell you what your character is like and what they're good at - i.e. your role. The R in RPG.
And I love faction systems, especially if they're mutually exclusive. Can't be friends with everyone. And different political philosophies naturally comflict. They just need to keep it simple.

If I could, I would invite yall over and go hiking at the Blue Ridge mountains in the autumn (fair warning: I will quote The Blair Witch Project the whole time) or Sunset Beach in the summer. Hopefully, we'll find some mole crabs (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ypNCN35sbWg). They're delightful little scamps, and fun to play with. Maybe also a zoo or museum.
And for dinner, some jambalaya or brunswick stew. Literally just throwing a bunch of stuff in a pot, but it's filling and nutritious and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

For those who don't know the sheer brawn of the orks, this is the equivalent of saying that you can out-punch a gorilla. Go ahead and try if you want, but I guarantee it won't end well for you.
The orks also have amazing resilience. They can often fight for quite some time after receiving wounds that would be lethal or at least debilitating to a human. And they love cybernetic implants, so under ideal conditions, you should err on the side of overkill. The problem is that where you see one, there are hundreds more nearby, so you either have to scale up quickly or retreat quickly, otherwise they'll overwhelm your position. You can't hold them at bay while waiting for reinforcements.
Ah, defeating orks is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I volunteer to join the USN the day after I graduated from high school. They lined us up at the processing center and had us count off by fours. I was four. Then a Marine sargeant stepped up and said "everyone who said four take two steps forward." I did.
"Congratulations, you men have the chance to become US Marines."
I raised my hand.
"What do you want?"
"I joined the Navy."
"Did you sign a contract?"
"Yes, sir, last January. 'Delayed Entry' the recruiter said."

That's not soup. That's a saucer with a combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You sop up the oil/vinegar with the bread and eat it.

How to make Navy coffee:
Start with one of those 30 gal coffee pots that has been brewing for at least 36 hours. (Test by releasing a few ounces into a cup. If the coffee stays in the cup it's not ready to drink. If it escapes from the cup track it so the Marines can hunt it down.)
Drink the coffee continuously, no tapering off toward the end of your watch.
If the coffee is up to USN standards you'll still be chewing on it after a four hour watch. Go up to the mess decks and spit it back into the pot.
DO NOT throw coffee overboard. It has been known to crawl onto shore and endanger children and small animals. ("Small" being anything smaller than an North American bison.)
Repeat three/four times a day until you reach port. You will be ready to appreciate liberty by being entirely too awake for the first three days in port.
Apparently, I have H1N1. I was vaccinated in 2005, but then apparently it's developed, became stronger and more fatal.
The muscle and joint pain is so severe, I've never experienced anything like this before.
Fever is down, I got a bit better but while coughing, sneezing there is this incredible pain. And it looks like it is gonna go on a bit.
Hang in there, mate! Don't be afraid to ask for pain killers, suffering impedes recovery.

They would make for the best spies or assassins. Killing people and disposing of the body somewhere inconspicuous is what they do anyway.
So naturally, museums and banks would have to rely on things that vampires are weak against, like silver and holy relics. Maybe contract with vampire hunters or a holy order to surveil the premises. Also, no one's getting in without a photo ID.
Even if vampires can get into any safe by turning into mist, how would they get anything out of the safe? Can they turn other stuff into mist as well?

convergence. They seem like they'd be related, but they're not.
A lot of the time, words sound similar because they come from the same source - a common ancestor, if you will - like potion and poison (Latin potio, Proto-Indo-European root poi-)
Divergence because people ("some folks") assumed they had the same origin originally and now mean three different things.

His rebound was a "web 4.0" e-commerce website that was bought by Google but then Google backed out and sued him and Google won (turns out you can win all sorts of court cases if the judge's websearch redirects to a google image page with nothing but pictures of their family) which wiped him out. Technically, he still has a combination of land and real estate in Paradise, Nevada and Newark, New Jersey.

When I was on USS Peleliu (LHA-5) I had to work "meal-to-meal", meaning I went on watch, got off watch, ate (the current meal), then went to bed. They woke me up in time to eat before going on watch and starting the cycle again. Four meals a day, including DIY sandwiches at midnight. This will cross the Pacific at 13.2 mph.

I looked it up and a 5lbs bucket cost about $25. I dare you to find Gatorade at that price. So the price is a winner.
The downside is that it's very salty (duh, that's what electrolytes are) but not sugary like Gatorade. Not a great idea if you already have a pretty high sodium diet - i.e. most humans. But the guy in question mixes a 1/8oz with a gallon of water, which is highly dilute. In comparison, a horse is supposed to get 1/2oz to 1oz per day under normal conditions, up to 2oz if very heavy workload and weather is hot/humid. Imho, that level of caution is probably okay afaik.
That said, the company says "In the interest of social responsibility, we remind consumers that this product, and all of our horse products, are not approved by the FDA for human use or consumption." So, they're aware that humans deliberately consume their product and would rather not get sued if some dum-dum pours 5oz of this stuff into a blender and then has a medical emergency.
Like Ivermectin, it's best to leave the horse stuff to the horses unless a board certified doctor says otherwise.

Probably, but I'm going to use the shit out of it until it decides we have to go. ChatGPT works great as a knowledge base. Unlike Google, you interact with these language models naturally. Like a conversation. When you ask most of them a question it keeps it in context with whatever you have been talking about. When I want to use the Internet to learn about something these days I use AI. The only time I use Google any more is if I am hunting for a specific item. If I'm trying to figure out what it is I need I use ChatGPT.
Except for maps. Google maps is great.
Google include AI to an extent. Good enough for me.
Last night I saw a Ryan George video, called Ryan George Debunks AI, where he was asking ChatGPT questions about himself. It got most of them completely wrong, and was only partially correct on most of the others.
How much data did the AI have to work with?
I don't know, I assume that it had as much access as any other large language model.

First off, garbage in = garbage out. A lot of the information available to these AI models comes from searching the Internet, and we all know there is plenty of garbage on the Internet. So yea, If you are using AI to figure out something important you better verify the answers you get. Having said that, I think it is a bit more than an advanced next word predictor. Let me give you an example of how I used ChatGPT earlier today.
I had a pricing proposal due for submission at work today. I was working with 2 spreadsheets. The first one is our in-house pricing model. This is the document we use to develop our price. The other was the customer supplied form that had to be submitted. Both spreadsheets have multiple tabs with cross linked data between the sheets. I was also linking multiple cells in the pricing model back to various cells in the customer form in order to fill it in and linking from cells in the customer form back to the pricing model as a checksum.
When I got done filling in the customer form yesterday one of my checksums said there was a $5,000 delta between the 2 spreadsheets. This morning instead of spending time manually looking for the error I uploaded both spreadsheets to ChatGPT, told it what they were, pointed it at the cell in the customer form that was short, and asked it find the missing data in the pricing model. 60 seconds later it told me I didn't capture cell XYZ in the pricing model. It even asked me if I wanted it to fix it for me, but I chose to do that myself. Half an hour I got to work my problem was solved, and I hit send on my submission. I might still be looking for the error if AI hadn't found it for me.

Data on Ryan George.
Oh, I use it all the way. It should be used, it is amazing, when you use it wisely.
But about something 'information' and 'knowledge' needs to be said related to AI. I've left the university something like 15 years ago, but I've spent all my life reading articles and books about this shit... The shit being the humanities. This thing -for now- is really very superficial. It's at American 'Liberal Arts' level at even with the most mainstream social disciplines. IMO, probably designed that way and a very bad level. It's bad. But I'm not sure if going above that is gonna get anything good. It's elementary for anyone who has spent some time in some field, and more than that, there is this obvious need to be sold vibe, which is fucked up.
It's fucked up, ESP. with translation. Because it doesn't translate bad news directly. Yeah. It's some kind of censored, or tuned to get softer. With the current algorithm, It doesn't like controversy. That's right out very dangerous. When you confront-warn, it corrects, but then... lol like wee need that shit. The current book I've been working on for sooome time, includes a lot of crimes against humanity, atrocities, genocides...so it was so easy to follow.
That's something to watch out. Heads up.

New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI
Abstract
The sub-Neptune frontier has opened a new window into the rich diversity of planetary environments beyond the solar system. The possibility of hycean worlds, with planet-wide oceans and H2-rich atmospheres, significantly expands and accelerates the search for habitable environments elsewhere. Recent JWST transmission spectroscopy of the candidate hycean world K2-18 b in the near-infrared led to the first detections of the carbon-bearing molecules CH4 and CO2 in its atmosphere, with a composition consistent with predictions for hycean conditions. The observations also provided a tentative hint of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a possible biosignature gas, but the inference was of low statistical significance. We report a mid-infrared transmission spectrum of K2-18 b obtained using the JWST MIRI LRS instrument in the ∼6–12 μm range. The spectrum shows distinct features and is inconsistent with a featureless spectrum at 3.4σ significance compared to our canonical model. We find that the spectrum cannot be explained by most molecules predicted for K2-18 b, with the exception of DMS and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), also a potential biosignature gas. We report new independent evidence for DMS and/or DMDS in the atmosphere at 3σ significance, with high abundance (≳10 ppmv) of at least one of the two molecules. More observations are needed to increase the robustness of the findings and resolve the degeneracy between DMS and DMDS. The results also highlight the need for additional experimental and theoretical work to determine accurate cross sections of important biosignature gases and identify potential abiotic sources. We discuss the implications of the present findings for the possibility of biological activity on K2-18 b.

Math actually is hard.
13 out of 20 chose theme park (65%)
The 7 remaining children are seemingly evenly split between the two remaining options - meaning 3.5 children chose zoo (17.5%) and 3.5 children chose theatre (17.5%). So, sorry kiddos, someone's getting chainsawed.
But have no fear, AI is here!
QuoteBased on the pie chart:
Zoo: 100% - 65% (theme park) = 35%
35% - 20% (theatre) = 15%
So, 15% of children chose the zoo.
Theatre: 35% - 15% (zoo) = 20%
Therefore, 20% of children chose the theatre.
AI says that 20% chose theatre and 15% chose zoo. Based on what? Who knows! Don't worry about it. Have some fresh pie&pizza with yummy, yummy glue. You humans love that stuff.

You can't have an optimistic show about the future while simultaneously clinging to an archaic, cruel system. It'd be like feudal lords imagining a future where feudalism still exists and the serfs just like it now because they have some extra gizmos. It's just delusional.

Prof. at Purdue told me it was "webbing". Start from a single point and go off in multiple directions. Usually all or most with valid termini. He pointed out that without an IQ close to mine people would bog down very quickly. To date that's been the most useful thing about a 128. Certainly didn't make me rich.

It's also exhausting. What's 128? I didn't get that.
I got out of the USN on disability, and they offered me educational benefits. To determine what they would pay for they tested me. After the tests the VA offered to pay for four years full time at Purdue U. (and expenses.) The State of Indiana invited me to test for their rehab program, and after the tests the State of Indiana offered to pay for four years full time at Purdue U. (and expenses.)
I was later advised that they knock five points off the IQ test scores to keep us poor souls humble. I have no idea what that would be like. ;-)
When I was in 7th grade I tested at 140. I'm sure I'm nowhere near that any more.
I'm smart enough to know better and too dumb to care.
Ah, I see. (Lol, it's obvious when reading for teh second time, sorry.) IQ concept (tests,points...etc.) is for the people with superiority complex in my humble opinion. Anyone who has an actual high potential for intelligence enough to change something out there -which is a situation with so many other variables- would get what a scam that is at a first glance, provided they are well adjusted of course. But in cases like yours, it's probably helpful. But other than that, in my opinion, genuinely gifted people are very rare. And considering about the fucked up 'world order' we are probably missing most of them.
I've never been tested, I don't care. but I know that I'm in the average.

QuoteThe Republican-led Texas House just passed a bill making it ILLEGAL to share altered political memes, images and videos without a disclaimer. The Penalty would be up to one year in jail or a $4,000 fine.
The Texas House recently passed House Bill 366, which criminalizes the distribution of altered political media—like memes, videos, or audio recordings—without a disclaimer. The bill applies to candidates, officeholders, or political committees, as well as anyone spending over $100 on political advertising. Violators could face up to a year in jail or a $4,000 fine.
The bill has sparked intense debate, with supporters arguing it protects election integrity, while critics warn it could suppress free speech and satire. Some see it as a response to AI-generated deepfakes, but its scope includes basic edits and parody.
Now, they will create online armies from unemployed young people with salaries to go online and look for content like this and report. The ones over here have hordes. But more than that, like I've said before people will censor themselves first out of fear. And I don't blame them. Who'd wants to go to jail for something like that and/or has 4000 dollars ffs...

I was nearly forty when I was first tested. The tech at the VA showed me my score and I went "huh". Not impressed because I wasn't any different after than I was before. I did finally "get it" regarding being invited to the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) when I was in boot camp. Last thing I wanted was four more years of school followed by decades of serial butt-kissing. Never very good at butt-kissing, I guess it doesn't require a high IQ.

I see. Zilla, I'm not evaluating you, or judging your test result. Why would I do something like that? I'm saying that those test results don't actualy mean anything in real life, which includes the science research and stuff where the so called genius' roam. But it makes sense to use it to put people in groups in army, and highly likely that's the original source.
In my opinion, IQ tests and points are a long time products, exactly like 'what ladies go crazy for' that whatever the fuck is designed to be bought by everyone, because they absolutely need it - in any target group. This one is just not a face serum, but a stronger, and a more substantial in exploiting human nature.

The moral of the story is to not chase trends. Also, you don't own any streaming service songs and it's just a matter of time before some people learn about that the hard way.
Personally, I only bought a dozen or so CDs before the switch to digital, so the economic crisis was minimal. Winamp/VLC ftw.
Edit - why not "burn" from CD to a digital format to not need to stream at all?

I don't do much streaming. Mostly just a free Pandora account while I'm in the car. Not at all at home.
MusicBee > Winamp or VLC for music. Vastly better library management plus WASAPI/ASIO support for bit perfect playback. You need an external DAC to take full advantage of it though.
I've been buying CD's since the 80's. Back in the early 00's I ripped 700 plus of them to MP3. Then isn the mid 00's I ripped them again to FLAC. These days I about 500 plus GB of music that lives on the mini PC I use for playback, my NAS, and a remote copy here at the office on a TrueNAS built on an old Dell 510 server.
But CD rips have their limitations. 44.1 kHZ x 16 bits per channel. A lot of newer and some older music is available in 192 kHZ x 24 bit or even 384 kHZ x 32 bit digital formats. This can be streamed or purchased and downloaded from several providers.
Lately I have been using ffmpeg to extract the audio files from the mts files on blu ray disks. I only have 3 of those. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars, Dark Side of the Moon, and I just got the new Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii disk last week. All three of these have higher bit rate audio tracks in both stereo and multi channel tracks.

You're talking to a guy who believed that one of his favorite songs had a clever distortion/audio scuffing at the end that recontextualizes the whole song. Turns out the uploader scuffed it so it wouldn't get automatically flagged and removed. The artist's version is scuff-free.

Never. That format really did not stand the test of time. CDs tore through that format like hot butter. And good luck convincing any electronics company to make cassette players.
In the early 80s I had a computer, called Timex/Sinclair ZX81, that used cassettes to program it with BASIC, which I was learning at the time.

A few years ago we bought a mid 90s manufactured Nakamichi DR-1 cassette deck for digitizing some oral history recordings. We sold it on Facebook market place a few months ago for $1000. About what we paid for it. There may not be a market for new ones, but there is a healthy market for higher end used ones. Same goes for nice 1/4" reel to reel machines. I have one of those sitting on the desk behind me now that I listen to on a regular basis.

I've never shopped online, I don't know how, and didn't want to learn for fear of spending all of the little bit of money I have. There's a whole lot of really cool stuff I'd love to have, but I know I need to eat.
I shop both ways, urgency rules most of the time. If I need it PDQ then I gird my loins and go after it. Otherwise some minimum wage sucker brings it to me.

Also, it is possible to cramp for nearly an hour almost continuously. And no, you don't get used to it. It actually gets somewhat more painful over time.

Quote from: Gawdzilla Sama on May 16, 2025, 06:39:12 AMIt's the magic bit that we have to discuss.
The history of unicorns is pretty interesting, especially because most mythical creatures are usually fearsome or belligerent.
It appears that the greeks popularized the idea of the unicorn, bringing the idea to western europe. From there, in medieval europe, it changed a lot from its previous depictions into a more serene animal, associated with purity and virginity, reflecting social attitudes of the time. Greek physician Ctesias came up with the idea of unicorn horns being used to treat disease back in the 4th century BCE and boy oh boy, was that part popular AF in medieval europe. Disease was rampant in europe at the time and protection from poison in particular was very desirable for european nobles. And to make unicorn horn powder, all you need is narwhal horns (or possibly any sort of horn) and grind it up. Cha-ching!
Fun fact: Ctesias was so hated by Lucian of Samosata (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_True_Story) in 2nd century CE that he deliberately wrote down tall tales about other parts of the world and other planets and made these tales so outlandish and over-the-top as to shame people who made erroneous accounts about the world and thus came up with arguably the first work of science fiction. Also probably the first known work of sequel bait (promising an exciting sequel but not delivering) outside of the Bible.
I experienced "sequel bait" after reading The Walking Drum, by Louis L'Amour. He promised an exciting sequel, but then got to writing westerns and never got around to it. I was sorely disappointed.

Rule of thumb for writers: protag goes "whee!"
That seems to happen quite a bit on Pitch Meeting! 🤣
This happens a lot in the Resident Evil movies. People get ripped in half by a monster but Alice just gets knocked down or thrown around. It's so silly.
I think the only time this was done in a passable way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmSxy2JKTPw) was the time when a badass mutant annihilated no-names because that was its mission but spared a C-lister because it wasn't a part of its mission and he humorously dropped his guns, turning him from a "threat: minimal" to "threat: zero"
The only shows I can think of where this doesn't happen are shows were the protagonist is resilient (Wolverine, Deadpool) or there's some sort of timely intervention or distraction. I saw one where the protagonist literally gets stabbed through the neck and the villain is about to finish him but the villain's important equipment starts to overheat to the point of combusting - a reasonable top priority - but by then the cavalry arrives and he's in a shootout and then ultimately defeated. In that one, the antagonist made the correct decisions and didn't hold back but was foiled anyway.
Imho, that's how it should always be done. Let the villain be a villain - don't hold any punches - but let the villain be defeated anyway.
In the book I'm working on, the protagonist is the prophesied chosen one, and he knows it. He gets complacent, knowing he's essentially immortal until his final battle with the dark lord. Why bother training when you know you can't lose? But, while he may be unkillable, his friends are not. If he doesn't learn how to fight properly, he can't defend the people he cares about.

Nice! In mine, the chosen one was basically kicked out of his cushy noble lifestyle so that he may pass the fated ordeals and become the hero. He curses his luck and wishes to be anything but a hero. Meanwhile, a very low-class boy his same age has grown up being regaled by tales of valiant heroes and wants nothing more than to become the hero. And they look so similar - suspiciously similar - that one could pass as the other...
I'm reading the Ringworld books right now. Again. Niven is the boss.
How many Ring World books are there? I've read them before, but I'm not sure I got them all.
The Ringworld books are part of Known Space. From memory there are four books dealing with Ringworld.

Nah, knight's tours are chess knights moving around the chess board such that they land on every square exactly once.
Sounds ... exciting.
Well, it is exciting if you're a nerd like me! 🤓
You might enjoy googling knight's tours and checking out the images. There aren't only 8×8 tours, there are lots of others, as well.

I meet the qualifications for the Bard, Monk, Rogue, Warlock, and Wizard.
The only qualifications I know of for each of those is being a member of the geek brotherhood.
I played the ascii version "a while back". Living on a farm in rural Indiana, waiting to go to Purdue. Plotted all forty levels on quadrille desk blotter.
When it comes to temper, I'm exceptionally patient with people. At least IRL. You know how the internet is. But with things, especially technology, I can get pretty angry. Objects don't have feelings, so there's not as much holding me back. One time, I smashed the glass of my car radio, because it was getting on my nerves. Does that qualify me for barbarian? lol

"Fallow" was the word I was looking for. Barren implies permanent unproductivity, though not necessarily.
Fallow means "resting" IIRC. Crop rotation in the early stages.
1. Fallow. Allow whatever wants to, pretty much, to grow there without harvesting anything.
2. Feeding. Animals graze on the production from last year's fallow time. (Yay! Free fertilizer!)
3. Growing. (Intentional agriculture rather than the "whatever" in #1.)
By deliberately not using 1/3 of the land the peasants/serfs actually produced more than before the system was implemented.

The way I see it, the perimeter guards see the most combat and they're usually victorious because they mostly encounter the unworthy or unprepared. And the elites in the deepest part of the dungeon see the least combat but the battles are close and could go either way. It's the second-stringers who get screwed - they're the ones least likely to survive a fight. They only see combat after the perimeter guards have been defeated but they lack the skills the elites have to even the odds.

Well, because people were outside more, that meant more eyes watching. Now that people are staying inside, it's much easier for someone to snatch an unattended child without any witnesses. By keeping our kids in where it's safe, we've ironically made it more dangerous for them.

Always down for some Homer Hobbit humor. Some nights I dream I live in "The Shire". In reality my feet are too small to pull off a proper hobbit dress. Maybe they sell rubber hairy hobbit feet. I doubt I will ever make it down to Oceania to see the movie set turned tourist trap. There are some great vlogs and the detail is there. Partially underground homes with grass roofing material just make so much sense. Round doors, maybe not so much.
I have seen an actual home with grass roofing, but it was only pictures of it. I don't recall where it was, though, I wish I could remember. It it was dug into the side of a hill, and it looked really nice.

I looked into that a little bit. While it's not a bad idea in concept, underground homes often run into flooding problems.
Hobbit doors should properly have only one hinge or articulated hinges. The articulated ones are iffy as we don't see them on either side of the door to Bag End.

I think about this more often than I probably should. I have a short list of people I would absolutely write off in the Death Note, if I could. IMO, Light's mistake was using it on ordinary people, making himself a boogieman to dissuade crime. But how did he know they were guilty? He couldn't have. This is why we have courts, to weigh evidence and make these decisions. Light definitely killed a lot of innocent people in his career as god of death. He also killed people whose only crime was being an inconvenience to him. In his eyes, the innocent lives he claimed were justified by his vision of a better world.
If I had a Death Note, I would only use it on major figures. People whose deaths would undoubtedly make the world a better place. It would serve as a warning to people in government that they are to serve their constituents and to act with integrity, or else.

Iirc, his minor error was using it on people who were found guilty of lesser crimes. Then there's the major error of using it on people investigating Kira, especially Lind L. Tailor, the guy who posed as the famed detective L in the beginning. As soon as he started killing investigators, it was game over.
QuoteBut how did he know they were guilty? He couldn't have. This is why we have courts, to weigh evidence and make these decisions.
Yep, there's a reason we do things that way. Kira's role should obviously be to go after evil people the courts can't touch and people whose crimes are in progress who might harm others before being apprehended, like that hostage-taker.
QuoteLight definitely killed a lot of innocent people in his career as god of death. He also killed people whose only crime was being an inconvenience to him. In his eyes, the innocent lives he claimed were justified by his vision of a better world.
Yep, the classic slippery slope combined with a common criticism of consequentialist ethics. Obviously, there's a problem with just doing evil things and telling yourself it'll all work out in the end. You have to take reasonable and properly calculated moves at all times, not gamble yourself into a hole and then count on a big payout to put you back in the black. You have to take out people whose deaths will meaningfully improve the world purely within their own context, not as part of some grand scheme (so no targeting innocents or investigators)
Though I do note in that these criticisms of consequentialist ethics, all the attention is put on those killed, not a whole lot of attention is paid to people whose lives are saved, even if the character is taking increasingly morally dubious steps to get there. In the show, Kira has a LOT of people who have benefited from him, most of them unknowingly, like through the year-on-year reduction in crime. Yes, he killed thousands and quite a few innocents, but if he had thrown the Death Note in the garbage when he first found it, many times that would have died and almost all of them innocents. But that would be "normal" and "natural" and presumably more acceptable than the unusual and unnatural deaths Kira inflicts. I gotta say, I don't see the logic in preferring an objectively worse world.
I remember in Endgame, when Rhodney suggested killing baby Hitler, it was played for laughs, but obviously, killing Hitler as an adult would be totally fine. So apparently, there's some sort of age cut-off where it goes from being not okay to okay, which is especially odd when you know for a fact how it's going to play out. Granted, it probably wouldn't change much - WWII would still happen. But stopping massive harm in its earliest stages shouldn't be treated with such pearl-clutching, imho.
QuoteIf I had a Death Note, I would only use it on major figures. People whose deaths would undoubtedly make the world a better place. It would serve as a warning to people in government that they are to serve their constituents and to act with integrity, or else.
Same. Unambiguously evil targets like dictators and terrorists and murderers, with a high priority for those imminently about to harm others or causing harm secretly or somehow evading justice.

I actually really want an electric kettle. And knife block (for dramatic purposes), mortar and pestle, hot pot, garlic peeler, spoon rest, and citrus reamer (no puns). Just a whole fully-stocked kitchen to order pizza from.
I've always been curious, which is the mortar and which is the pestle? 🤔
The mortar is the bowl. The pestle is the thingamabob. Fun fact: the etymology is pestle is similar to piston. Lots of p- words in various european languages that essentially mean "to pound".

How about a collapsible funnel (https://news.ucdenver.edu/flat-funnel-emerges-mind-chemist-entrepreneur-inventor/)?
'The product is pretty straightforward – it's low-density polyethylene plastic that collapses on "living hinges" on opposing sides of the funnel wall.'
Yep, 100% straightforward. I'm not a dum-dum who barely understands the concept of low-density plastic, and "living hinges" is so far over my head that it might as well be literal magic.
I have a set of five funnels, from "Holy Fuck!" to "innsey winnsey". They're something like rubber and I've never found a scenario where at least one of them didn't work.
I know what the word "infundibular" means. I came across it in a sci-fi fantasy called The Shattered World, by Michael Reaves, where there were at least one or two obscure words on every page. There were these "cacodemons," one of which was very arachnoid, and spun "huge, infundibular webs." They were funnel-shaped.
AI OVERVIEW:
The term "iconoclastic infundibulum" combines two distinct concepts: iconoclasm, which refers to the destruction of images or opposition to images, and infundibulum, a term with several meanings, including a funnel-shaped anatomical structure or a concept in Kurt Vonnegut's novel The Sirens of Titan representing a time-space distortion. In the context of Vonnegut's work, a chrono-synclastic infundibulum is a place where all truths and perspectives converge, a concept that might be considered iconoclastic in its rejection of linear, singular truth.
Here's a breakdown of each element:
1. Iconoclasm:
Iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons and other images or monuments, or opposition to their veneration.
It often stems from theological beliefs that images are either inappropriate or can be misused.
The Byzantine Iconoclasm of the 8th and 9th centuries is a prominent example, where the debate centered on the use of images of Christ and other holy figures.
2. Infundibulum:
In anatomy, infundibulum refers to a funnel-shaped structure, such as the funnel-shaped opening of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery.
In Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan, a chrono-synclastic infundibulum is a spatial anomaly that warps time and space, causing those who enter it to experience multiple realities and perspectives simultaneously.
According to LitCharts, the infundibula are described as places where "all different kinds of truths fit together".
3. The Combined Term "Iconoclastic Infundibulum":
While not a standard term, "iconoclastic infundibulum" could be used to describe the concept in The Sirens of Titan, particularly in the context of its effect on the characters who enter it.
By entering the infundibulum, characters like Winston Niles Rumfoord experience a radical shift in perspective, where all previous beliefs and truths are challenged and integrated.
This could be seen as iconoclastic because it breaks down the traditional, linear understanding of truth and reality, replacing it with a more complex, multi-faceted view.

Reminds me of the argument at Tony Stark's house over "art". "Painting" is white background with one black stripe. Evidently that's worth a lot of money. She doesn't want it put in the basement. He wants to give it to the Boy Scouts.
Have you heard of a piece of "art" called "Comedian", by Maurizio Cattelan? It was a banana, duct-taped to a wall.
One edition was sold for $120,000, and later another 3 editions sold for between $120,000 and $150,000.
In 2024 another edition was sold for $6,200,000! The guy who bought it was Justin Sun, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, who later ate the banana! 🍌

I once kissed a spider woman...🕷
♫I had a spider woman
And she was so good
She chained me
In her web so tight
I lost the freedom
Of release that night
So I stayed right by her
I dreamt I saw a blind man
Who was singing a song
About a guy who
Couldn't take no more
And the meaning of
The words he swore
Told me go find her
She was a spider woman
But she was good to me
Spider woman
But she was good to me
I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go
And walk in the street
But by the time
She got past my feet
I lost control♫

I was bit on the hand by a black widow when helping to hitch the boat to the truck. I reached under to free the trailer latch and felt like I was electrocuted or something. Then I saw the black spider drop down from under with the telltale red hourglass. I googled it and pretty much said I would be OK as a healthy (lol) adult. It was like a 3x wasp sting with the swelling and all. Bobby gave me some bourbon, and I took nap. We have a ton of tiny brown widows around the gardens here and I think they have gotten me before and they just feel like an ant bite. Not 100% sure about that, cuz lots of red ants too. And some big horseflies that'll get your attention.
Yeah, we had horse flies and fire ants in Texas when I was a kid, and I'm sure we had black widows, too, but I was lucky to not get bitten by any.

All of nature is horrifying, if you look at it too close. Most things die be being eaten alive. Say you're born as a sea turtle. Chances are, you don't live long enough to touch the water.

The Egyptians came up with the 24 hour day. Two cycles of tweleve. 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour comes from Babylon. The 60 number most likely because they divided a circle into 360 degrees. The sun moves through the sky ~1 degree per day and their calander was based on 360 days.
So early mechanical clock makers were just using a time keeping system that had been around for a few milenium before the fist mechanical clocks.

Leap years don't perfectly correct the discrepancy between the calendar year and the Earth's orbit around the sun. Adding a leap day every four years overcompensates slightly. To further refine this, the Gregorian calendar, the most common calendar system, skips leap years in century years unless they are also divisible by 400.
Well that's easy to remember.

Which is why 2000 was a leap year but 1900 was not. 2100, 2200, 2300 will be. 2400 will not be. Basiclly we skip a leap year every 100 years but skip a skip every 400.
There is probably nobody alive today that was around the last time we skipped a leap year. Hopefully there will still be somebody around that knows what we are talking about here when the next one rolls around.

Poor corporate America. I worked for State Farm Insurance Co. for a few years, the pyramid was quite well in place there. BUT it was nothing compared to the military. Some how, during my twenty years on active duty, I avoided a court-martial for "disrespect". Liked to skate on the edge of actually calling some officer an idiot.

Imho, fan fiction is always a combination of two things: 1) an addition to already existing characters/setting 2) amateur (which implies non-commercial)
So no, most of those examples are not actually fan fiction. Writers can and always have been using ripping each other off and/or inspiring each other (the difference between the two is largely a matter for the courts to decide)
Even stuff directly referencing other works isn't fan fiction if the characters/setting are unique or if the writer is a professional and getting paid for it.
So, the Stephen Baxter audiobook that I just finished listening to, The Time Ships, isn't a fan fiction of H. G. Wells's The Time Machine? Makes sense to me. It's way too good to be considered fan fiction.
I wrote fanfic for WWII. "How I defeated the Nazis single handed."
That should be "single handedly."

Exact opposite. I won't lie and say that I don't also enjoy spectacle, but most major films have some sort of message that should be understood and appreciated. Even Godzilla has a message. It expresses the civilization-destroying horror of atomic bombs in particular and militarism in general.
Even "dumb" superhero movies at least try to convey how superhuman power should and should not be used.
For every hour I spend on a show, I probably spend at least two hours analyzing its core themes, references to other works, parallels to other works, even its tropes down to the granular level. (Does the hero save the cat? Am I watching a hero, antihero, or villain protagonist?) I especially like movies that work on multiple levels at once, like the Matrix. On one hand, it's a man learning martial arts and punching through concrete. On the other, a war of ideas. Stuff like that fascinates me. If the film was literally just two guys punching concrete, I would find that to be incredibly boring. I'm not even sure if such a film would be worthwhile to make or be enjoyable or would be worth talking about years later.
And not as a dig on you, just generally, I think it'd be worthwhile for people to cultivate media literacy. There'd probably be less nazis around today if more people would pick up on their depiction as the bad guys in a lot of films. People should understand that a lot of fiction is what-if scenarios and the results of these scenarios can help guide us towards making better choices in our own lives.
"There'd probably be less nazis around today if more people would pick up on their depiction as the bad guys in a lot of films."
Er....most of us pretty much know who the bad guys are. If you don't, I don't think a movie suggesting who are the bad guys will resonate with said person. Probably a general lack of real life..maybe not enough interaction with humanity and too much with a tv.

You plant seeds and hope they grow - that's all a writer can do. Every adult nazi was once a child rooting for the rebels to blow up the Death Star - but for some reason, they never connected the dots between fiction and real life.
As for interactions, I will say that they're definitely not burdened with an overabundance of imagination or too much exposure to stories about people from other walks of life. If anything, there's a sad retreat into very niche communities - online and irl - where a sort of fake reality is propagated and that starts to take hold. At a certain point, when family and friends and even basic facts about this world can't even make a dent, it's no surprise that writers can't either. Not even the most talented surgeon can heal the dead.

Every player draws a card at the start of their turn (sometimes more than one, go blue!) from a stack called their library. Mill decks attack the library instead of the health points, which is the normal way of winning. When the library's all gone and you have to draw a card but can't, you lose.
Metaphorically, it's like attacking someone's mind instead of their body.

Back in the '80s my ship, a cruiser, was escort for USS Midway, an aircraft carrier, based out of Japan. We got the word that we were going to conduct a "freedom of navigation" exercise. The Sovs had just declared ALL of the Bering Sea their property, no-go zone for not Soviets. So we headed up north.
... (three days travel time)
We're up there, tottling around under a heavy overcast. We knew the Soviets were tracking up via satellite, when they could. But happily for them the overcast broke and there was USS Midway in their "private ocean".
There were also three other USN carriers with us. Surprise. The Sovs didn't enforce their no-go rule. Don't know why.

I remember we would "dip net" a 5-gal, bucket-full of pink or white shrimp, from a bridge on a windy full moon tide. We would hang a lantern so their eyes glowed as they floated under the bridge. We would also put out a few on lines just in case a snapper or snook swam by. And they usually did.
I caught a "Mekong catfish" one time by tickling it as it was debriding a wound on my leg. We both ate well. I later calculated Mom was getting a letter from the USN about then, KIA-BNR. It would be her second for me. I got to call home from my bed in a hospital in Saigon. "I told those sons-a-bitches you weren't dead."
Once in East Texas when I was a kid, I caught a Northern Pike, and was told it should not have been in our lake. I didn't even know what it was, but my foster dad knew. He knew everything.

When I smoked reefer many years ago, we sometimes did something we called "elevator hits," in which we'd squat down, take a big hit, then quickly stand up. The first time I did that I fell over like a tree that had just been cut by a lumberjack! After that I took to wrapping my arms around a tree before I could fall. That kept the lumberjack away.

The best water is when you are 7 years old, it's a hot summer day and you are drinking from a 50-foot garden hose. Yum.
I still remember the taste of garden-hose water! 🤣
Yeah, wtf is wrong with people and demonizing the garden hose? They make it sound like the water comes from a septic tank or something.
It comes from the same tap as the kitchen faucet, which by the way, is held to a stronger standard than bottled water, which is often just a hose to a municipal water source. Granted, the tip of the garden hose probably isn't the cleanest thing in the world, but most people don't french kiss the hose.
It blows my mind that some of the same people who get picky with water smoke cigarettes or drink raw milk or do all sorts of weird diets. "Alkaline water with a spritz of lemon" congrats you ph stabilized your water lol.
There's always someone who is enormously offended by someone else having fun. T'was ever thus.

The website itself is fine, but the community is in uproar and mostly no longer posts normal content.
For several days, it was entirely John Oliver insulting his parent company (mirroring how Imgur users feel about owner MediaLab AI), then The Gif (not allowed), then actual porn (also not allowed), then borderline porn (borderline not allowed), and last night it was a literal blackout with completely black images instead of normal content. Suffice it to say that funny meme production and distribution has been negatively affected.

I'm definitely stuck in one of those crafting/survivalist games and I'm approaching it like it's some 4x strategy game. It makes for some strange moments, like computing taste-per-cost ratios of various common foods (tpc) and dreams per second (dps) of various ways of sleeping. I currently have a macro for tossing trash in the trash can - first, opening the lid with my foot and tossing the trash, then spinning around and making finger guns as it (hopefully) goes in. I have been informed that such behavior is neither commonplace nor proper etiquette. I retorted that other players should simply "git gud", which was also poorly received.

In my neck of the woods, there are few trees near lawns. The majority line the curb and islands in the street without grass, just pine needles and now leaves. There are also wooded areas intentionally undeveloped.
By all means, if it's necessary to rake, go ahead and rake. I just like to see the undeveloped parts of the neighborhood stay as untouched as possible.
This house, and a few hundred like it, was built in the late 1960s. Nothing grows wild around here without the connivance of the custodians of that piece of ground.
BUT to the west I have the Missouri River. To the east the Mississippi (Big Muddy) River. Ozarks to the south. Plenty of wild here. And 116 miles north is Hannibal, where Samuel Clemens, writing as "Mark Twain", lived when he was a boy.
Easy to get to wild here. I used volunteer at the Endangered Wolf Center just west of St. Louis. Guiding tours I'd put my back to an enclosure and talk to the guests about the African (Wild) (Painted) Hunting Dogs we had. I explained that the dogs could make a full grown deer disappear in under fifteen minutes, right down to the pelvis. I could tell how close the dogs were by the increasing panic on the faces of the guests.

Well, I didn't get it at first, because I didn't know that word in turkish when I was reading the book. The translation was old, it was pretty good, but that Turkish word was often used for horses in the new style. I was 19 or so I guess. It confused me more because it was so simple a thing and of course the effect was spoiled by my limited vocabulary. I just remembered that.

Naah... None of us would be scared of those. We are too aware of Halloween decorations because we love it too much.
My inner 3yo runs away screaming. My inner combat veteran says "Boy, you ain't see shit yet."
Funny how a video just popped up on my YouTube feed about how to make yard ghosts from chicken wire! 🤣
The problem with us is that once Halloween decorations go up, they rarely come down. Even when entropy does its work. I have had a skeleton wearing a girl scout uniform and a wig sitting out on the porch in a rocker for ten years now. She is a dreadful mess. You should see the awful things we have hanging (along with all the moss) from the grand old oak trees. They persist through storms. There is a rusty wrought iron sign screwed to a lamp post that simply states: "Go Away".
The christians leave their leaflets in our mailbox.
Here is a snapshot while making finally preparations for the last Halloween party I threw. Crab boil, live band. When leaving here, one guest drove their car into a canal out front. After that, no more big parties.

I adore the aesthetics of their "Tonight, tonight" video. Their "1979" and "Ava Adore" official videos are great too. I remember when I first saw REM's "Losing My Religion" thinking well, this is truly a new artform. Somehow the marriage of video and music has gone a bit flat even with all the new tech when MTV turned to shite.

Quote from: Nobody on October 24, 2025, 04:34:05 PMI actually prefer my Hamburger Helper with hot dogs instead of ground beef.
I almost always use ground turkey instead because it's leaner and healthier and costs significantly less. Now, ground turkey costs what ground beef used to cost (~$4-5/pound). Sometimes, I use chorizo when that's on sale. In general, I make lots of salads now. And when I use meat, I add onions and bell peppers to the point that the meat just flavors the veggies.
*edit - I break out the red onions almost daily. Today, I had a salad with half a raw red onion finely diced. Delicious and nutritious, and easy on the wallet!

Yes, the woman from the well in the 2002 film The Ring that grossed $249.3 million and was an international sensation (preceded by the lesser-known 1998 Japanese film and the 1991 novel), - basically on par with The Exorcist or Poltergeist in terms of influence so it's not like I'm pulling from obscure references here.
Agreed, I'm not a fan of the genre but I sussed that one out based on the first picture. Was the My Little Pony thing in the first one, or a significant "landmark" in any of them? Don't know how far afield the image goes.

I was best friends with a notorious pedophile and human trafficker, and admitted to grabbing women nonconsentually. Don't think too hard about my fanacial stake in Miss Teen USA at that time. Total coincidence. I said I'd fuck my own daughter, if I wasn't related to her. I pander to Christians, but can't quote a single verse. I bankrupt every business I touch, including casinos. Every other world leader thinks I'm a clown, I have zero social skills, and I literally smell like shit. I have the support of literal Nazis, the KKK, and other hate groups, and I refuse to disavow them. I attempted to overturn an election I lost, and my employees wrote me a roadmap to destroy the balance of power. My plan to fix the economy is to kick out the brown people, citizens or not, and applying aggressive tariffs. Don't Google how those work until after the election is over."

Sometimes, I can be pretty optimistic. Like Star Trek VI optimistic. But most of the time, it's more like Judge Dredd or The Outer Limits. On average, it's more like a Futurama optimism. Or maybe Final Space.
I've seen too many dire predictions come and go to be worried about any pending apocalypse.
2012 was hysterical. "End of the Mayan calendar! We're all doomed." Yeah, like Dec. 31st (any year) is a harbinger too.
Sometimes, I feel like it's all an unusually long-lasting Jenga match. Sure, lots of predictions that it'll all crumble were wrong. In fact, they were all wrong. But sooner or later, someone makes a move that was just a tad ill-considered and a tad too awkward on an already teetering base...
For an Abnormal Psych* class I took at Purdue I tried to read an 1,800+ page "proof" that "the end was NOT near", that it had, in point of fact, already happened. Seems that humans are continuing on through pure cussedness. Being Irish on my parents' sides of the family I had to consider that carefully.
About 50 years ago I read a book called The Terminal Generation, about how it would all end during the lifetime of the people then living. Too bad it didn't come true.
Obviously, the red giant sun incinerates our home planet. I would believe in miracles if that's what ends homo sapiens, however.
Normal evolution, whereby only the fittest survive, simply takes too long compared to relatively fast atmospheric changes. That has been the doom of almost all species at some point. You spend millions of years perfecting for a certain niche and that niche just disappears. "Abita abita abita, that's all folks".
And of course, what is different with homo sapiens is that "fit" could also mean wealthy or socially powerful. The wealthy and powerful might forget that large numbers of desperate individuals have power too. The same kinda thing Putin is thinking about when he tries to sleep on a cold, cold night.

They should also do this for acting and directing. Everyone thinks they can direct the next big blockbuster and they absolutely cannot. Ditto for the lead role where you gotta have realistic-looking conversations with cgi characters and award-winning emotional scenes.

And here we have malls, sprawling urban spaces that were transitional between open-air markets and the Amazon Logistics we have today. According to records - several movies from the 1980s - they were important for the social development of teenagers and may have also had a religious function. We currently do not know the purpose of the central fountains, but based on sites from other locations, we think they may have been a place to wash or perhaps store metallic coin currency.

Maybe humanity will have figured itself in 1,000 years. Or maybe it'll be worse. Worth the gamble.
Humanity may or may not not even be around in 1000 years. But I certainly won't be, so I'll never know how it turns out. That saddens me.
Yeah. I don't mind the idea of being dead. In fact, I prefer it to the alternative, existing for eternity. It would be nice to be able to stick around for as long as we want, though. See how humanity works out. Find out if life is on other planets. Witness the fusion of the Milky Way and Andromeda, if that actually happens. That event seems to be in question now. Then, when I'm done, I hit the quit button.

Item #: SCP-1225J
Object class: Safe
Disruption Class: Dark
Risk Class: Caution
Special containment procedures: SCP-1225J is to be held in a standard containment cell at Site 13 until December 1st or until a majority/plurality of Overseers approve a release, whichever comes first. There is little risk associated with releasing SCP-1225J before December 1st, though such early releases are often associated with elevated blood pressure and reports of general stress in menial customer service workers, though this link has yet to be conclusively established.
SCP-1225J MUST be returned to a standard containment cell at Site 13 before midnight EST on January 1st or there is significant and increasing chance of unleashing an AK-class "Collective Madness" scenario. SCP-1225J does not resist capture, but will vanish and reappear at a random place in North America if apprehended and then unobserved for a duration of five (5) seconds. For this reason, at least three (3) agents must remain in close proximity during apprehension and escort back to Site 13.
Any attempt by any escorting agent to sing at any time during this operation will be met with immediate termination by orders of the Ethics Committee.

The worst thing is trying to walk down a store aisle behind someone who is looking at and appraising each individual item like it's some sort of art gallery or something, which wouldn't be so bad, but they block off the whole aisle for everyone else.
Look, we're in the bread aisle. You're like 70. You already know what's there. And don't kid yourself, you're ultimately going to grab yourself a loaf of bread just like the one you already had, just like we all do. So just walk quickly until you see that one, grab it, then go.
These people get stuck in analysis or decision paralysis because they didn't have a plan walking into the store. They just get mesmerized by all the different brands and varieties. If you walk into the store with a very good idea of what you want, where to find it, and minimal drive for impulse buys, you walk out much faster and happier.
The shopping is an excuse to get out of the house.
The browsing is to see if anything better is available.
The moving slow is to show you jack ass kids who OWNS this aisle.
I generally try to go down aisles that are unoccupied, or at least very lightly occupied. If the one I want is too heavily occupied, I just shop another aisle first.

Middle engineering management is typically a nightmare job. Caught between two realms that have no logical overlap, LOL. It's a lose-lose situation. I tried it at the end of my career when I maxed out as a staff engineer and got pressured to run a team. After a year of that, I just retired instead. They didn't know I was financially independent.
I know every engineer thinks they know how to fix the mess/system. They don't.
Likewise, I had at least a few times when a technician decided to attempt an "improvement" of a test procedure I gave them to run, while being completely unaware of the requirements. They often yearned to do fun electrical design work but had no idea about the hundreds of constraints (design requirements, cost, supply chain, reliability, MTBF, environmental conditions, verification, certification, documentation, schedule, cost and budget......).

That's not exactly a real place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill), though there is Blennerhasset and Torpenhow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blennerhasset_and_Torpenhow) (really rolls off the tongue, way more distinguished than simplistic names like York or Leeds, lol)
There are lots of places with the same name in multiple languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_names), like the Avon river. My personal favorite is Lochmere Lake not far from me. (Loch = scottish, Mere = old english, lake = modern english)
I was sitting in a café in Paris "A FEW YEARS AGO" and hear two young ladies struggling with English (they were students at Sorbonne I found out later) and one of them was almost in tears. I went over and asked them if I could help. We spent two hours going over their problem areas. The café staff kept the coffee going for me, we were actually drawing a crowd of people trying to look like they weren't eavesdropping.
When they had to go one of them asked me a question I couldn't answer.
"Do they really teach this to children in America?"
Yeah, English is like that. American-English is worse.

I've lived too long. I know previous generations' slang, my generation's slang, and the current slang. Example: "you're being too hysterical!" to "take a chill pill" to "calm your tits" to "bruh, slow your goofy ass down fr" Or "posing for the camera" to "aura farming". I know how to express excitement as "by Jove!" to "awesome!" to "let's go!" and it hurts my brain. English is the turducken of languages.
It's not all bad, I've lived to see "hey" as a greeting be normalized. My grandparents' generation had a bizarre aversion to shortening greetings, apparently unaware that "goodbye" is itself a heavily shortened expression. Also, I'm glad cursive is dying out. It was a pain to write and a pain to read and most communication is digital anyways, so it's good to standardize and simplify when possible. I'm also glad that "whom" is more or less dead. I find that word tedious and annoying and I will die on the hill fighting whoever. :P
Still, I'm not keen on the tenuous grasp most people nowadays have on apostrophe/possession/plural rules, the redundant and clunky "have got" as a common expression, and their/they're/there confusion. In a browser game I used to play, the tutorial included a basic literacy quiz before you can access the chat function. Imho, social media should include a similar literacy quiz.

First non-English phrase I learned.
Me at a vampire night club: (for us, they're just clubs)
(https://i.imgur.com/dneF1gFl.jpeg)
Techno = fine but a bit too newish
Classical = the best ambiance, gives feelings of nostalgia for the older vampires
Metal = great because of the dark, evocative imagery
Pop music = bad in large doses because it's so overly sweet, but the "I want to hold you" lyrics are comedy gold for a vampire
Rock = okay I guess, but no Nickleback
Rap = confusing slang but "I'm the best" bravado is darkly hilarious for a herd animal
Country = the music is like eating a pigeon - rancid and revolting. Most vampires won't even drain someone in a cowboy hat (but will readily dispatch them if they interfere or witness something)
I remember some movie or other (or maybe it was a commercial) in which a guy asks a waitress what kind of music they play in this club, and she says, "Oh, we play both kinds, country and western."
🤠
And they never say WHICH country.

We skipped Rome because at that time we wanted a chill vacation. Took the train from Venice to the Amalfi coast and stopped by to see Pompei which was ridiculously bigger than I ever imagined. While in Venice, we managed to stumble across some tickets for "La Traviata". An old Italian gentleman seated next to us asked if we minded if he sang along a bit, softly ("piano")?. I know just enough Italian to say "si, canta favore". He sang beautifully. Venice was near empty that week, end of the season. Gladly, it was before everyone hated Americans. Bobby bought one of those throw-away cameras. There is something about the light in that city.

Imho, Eastern was just as Roman as the Western Empire. Any date would be somewhat arbitrary, but the general consensus is that the Roman Empire as a whole was donezo when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.

Pen pals were so much fun. I had one for a year from Scotland via my school. We talked about books like "Charlottes Web". We even exchanged photos and waxed leaves in the autumn. I also had a secret admirer who wrote like a hundred sappy letters, but never gave their ID or return, so I couldn't respond. These days it might be considered stalking, IDK, LOL.
I used to get dozens of letters all in one bunch when I was on a ship. Turns out the FBI wanted to know who was writing me from all those foreign places. My DivOff and I had a good laugh after he asked me a series of questions the Feds wanted answers to. The postal clerks took pictures of some of the stamps and asked me for the envelopes when I was done with them. I told them philately was a sin. They chortled.

Oh, that's correct. It's 476 AD. Roman Empire fell in 476. Two empires are very different. One speaks Latin, other speaks Greek. One is Roman Catholic, other is Orthodox... Greek culture is an Eastern culture, not a Western one. But it influenced Western culture so heavily and gotten owned by Western culture so good, this sounds stupid.
Those gods and goddesses, imagined with olive skinned, dark eyed, dark haired beauties as human figures. The best if you ask me...lol
They called themselves Roman(Rum). it doesnt matter they spoke Greek, or they were in the sphere of Greek culture.
And historians called the country Eartern Roman Empire.
Also one of the many titles of Mehmet 2. Was Kayser-i Rum, meaning Ceaser of Romans.
So where's the Ruska Roma?

I suppose a case could be made, but Greek philosophy and culture is so central to Western culture that it'd be a very, very hard case to make. Plus, Greek culture was foundational to Roman culture, which was pretty much synonymous with the West for a millennium. To say that Rome was heavily influential to Western european nations would be an understatement. We don't have those Corinthian columns at Washington DC just because they look pretty, there's a clear claim of influence/inspiration being made there. Same in France and other places in Europe.
The Washington Monument is an Egyptian obelisk.

Oh, no I didn't mean that by culture. On the contrary, I'm saying Greek is East. But, in philosophy, literature and academic traditions in humanitas, Western Culture is influenced by Ancient Greek not just through its influence on Roman Empire. Of course, Roman Empire is far more influential, that's why I'm saying it ended in 476. My usage of the word 'culture' was too old fashioned.

It is much bigger. Most ancient Egyptian obelisks were carved from a single piece of stone making them arguably much more impressive feats of engineering given the technology of the time.
And never mind that west and east are kind of pointless distinctions hen you live on a great big ball.

I just threw that out there because there are a lot of true Egyptian obelisks outside of Eqypt. Paris, London, Istanbul, New York, and several in Rome. That and the Washington Monument is constructed differantly and 5x the size of the larger ancient ones.

Yeah, especially in antiquity - neither the Greeks nor Romans thought in those terms without a doubt. West/East only really became a relevant distinction when western european countries became colonial powers. Also, throughout the Cold War, a concept that has somewhat been revived in relevance in recent years.
It's pretty important though. I'm rusty, I cannot explain it plainly. The roots of modern life and secular culture is based on Ancient Greek tradition which has a strong profane quality. Again, this usage of the word 'profane' is not about the derogatory modern usage of the word, but to convey the meaning that the culture embraces the life itself people live; not some after life people work for like in Ancient Egypt. Hence the modern usage of the word lol. Because it's changed by Abrahamic traditions. Anyway, the most obvious difference of this division is the artistic expressions of the both cultures. Think about the Ancient Egyptian monuments and then think about an Afrodite carving, depicting a female figure just getting out of water, or washinh her hair. Latter is the depiction of a movement; actually even a moment. Former is frozen, closed. (I'm not talking about 'beauty'.) They are polar opposites. Ancient Egyptians did know human body didn't look like that or worked like that but they made an ideal image of it in terms of their culture. Everything's about a future life after death, nobody's actually seen or known. On the other hand, Greeks created something about 'this life' we only know and live. And then questioned it down to its smallest building blocks. They searched for knowledge for the sake of knowledge in their idealism because it's good, and beautiful, and true. Egyptians used their math and architectural knowledge to divide farm lands, to build enormous tombs for their kings to enter after life. Knowledge served for some obscure divine life out of reach. Their understanding of idealism was completely different. Ancient Greeks questioned how should humans live, how should a society work; what is good and bad; true and false. Dialectic... Rationality.
(I'm not putting Ancient Egyptian Culture down. I'm not seeing it that way either.)
Roman Empire is very very important, but if you take Anceint Greek culture out of it, it's only centralised military power with roads and archs. Speaking of arch, of course it is crucial, but its invention is eventual. It's engineering, it's math. Related to military progress, it's inevitable. But then you can't say the same thing about philosophy, literature and art. Romans took every kind of knowledge from trade to science from Ancient Greeks. By the way, of course, ancient Greeks didn't view natural 'philosophers' as philosophers as we do thinkers today; they were prophets. (But then, 'porphet' is a different concept then.) And ancient Greeks were very religious, their culture was a slave culture. Nevertheless, they created the base of the ideals of human life and society; the accumulation of knowledge that would one day end in what we call the social state.
So this is what I mean by Western culture is based on Ancient Greek culture, as its roots. It's Rome's relations with Magna Grecia; the far advanced, independent city states founded nearly 3000 years ago, the culture that created Hellenic civilisation, which has almost nothing in common with some small Greek country that exists today. (Because I feel like this affects people when trying to look back. It's already myopic and somewhat 2nd world country under European rule confuses people while thinking about ancient history. It's more like a pyschology I guess.) Anyway, forget about art, literature and philosopy, without that Ancient Greek culture, there is no Roman Law or administration, possible even that level of coordinated military organization. Military power does not make an exceptional civilisation. Think of Mongolians, Huns, Turks...
As a result, I agree with the understanding that Roman Empire ended in 476. It's a surprise it didn't end couple of centuries ago, lol and it took a long time in real terms. But the Eastern Roman Empire is something completely different than the Western one as I tried to explain from my point of view. However, if we could travel back to Constantinople, knock the door of a patrician's house and ask them who they are, they would highly likely say they are Romans. This is true, lol.
Also, I think Turks generally think this is some sort of a discirimination, because conquest of Constantinople by Muslims is a big deal against Christianity...lol it's ridiculous needlessly to say.

'Philosophically', without the Ancient Greek culture there would have been no Ancient Roman culture and most importantly, as a result No Renaissance. And that means, no advancement in navigation, not ay kind of scientific and ideation, (imagination if you will) boost required to explore the world. No Copernic, Galileo or Kepler... No scientific revolution in the future.
It's probable that the discovery of Americas would have been delayed a very long time, and in that time it would have been accomplished by other cultures. No colonisation to feed Europe. Without that colonisation basic natural sciences would have been delayed a long time too. No Darwin. So after no astronomy and no geography... Also no botany, no entomology, no anthropology and finally no evolution theory soon.
The Western culture as we know it, wouldn't have existed. So philosophically, the east or west make the whole difference in the time line we live. We don't know anything else.
The civilisation we live in do not require us to know in which direction the sun rise or set in accordance to survive. But it requires us to know how we got here to keep a civilised society based on law to live in. This is how anti-intellectualism have risen. Loss of historical perspective, thinking certain aspects of human development is not relevant anymore. Unfortunately it is. More than ever now, I dare to say.

I literally trace cropped portions of actual maps of the world from millions of years in the past or projections of millions of years in the future, add rivers and lakes at places that make sense, then put cities near the rivers.
The hardest part is creating national boundaries. You'd think they'd end at mountains right? I mean, Spain does that. Italy sort of does that. China, Russia and the US...not so much. Iran...yeah... It kinda feels like the I before E except after C rule to me. So now I just use deserts or lakes or dense forests or tundra or something, anything besides mountains to separate countries. Also, sometimes I pretend to be the british and just draw straight lines right through the geography/ethnic groups and call it a day. Nothing bad could possibly happen from that, right?

They never got around to that verse at my school. They also skipped the part when King David's wives got raped as punishment for David's infidelity. Sounds fair. That'll teach him. Many writers of the New Testament didn't really know the old Hebrew scriptures all that well, saying things like "No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man" (Jesus). Oops, they forgot about Enoch and Elijah. The resulting mental gymnastics results in words not meaning what they mean anymore.
There is a good reason we still have Jews. Not a single one of the messianic prophesies was fulfilled by Jesus. He wasn't king of Israel who defeated their enemies (oh, they meant "spiritual king"). Stuff like that. I rode a donkey once and I am a spiritual king too. The end of the world was supposed to have already happened.
"Truly I say to you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom". Wrong again, LOL.

So you don't use the Steven King model.

Let's take
Thinner as an example. The husband gets hit by a spell from a witch, one that becomes a curse. He loses over a hundred pounds quite quickly. But it doesn't stop there, he's getting THINNER and THINNER, with no end in sight. So he get another spell to transfer this curse to another person. Unfortunately instead of the intended victim his wife and daughter are the recipients of the curse.
IRL: King posted a sign on the gate to his property that announced that the road into his property was "mined". Somebody called the cops. King admitted that he may have misspelled "mind" and very politely crossed out the "e" in "mind" with a graphite pencil. "Oopsie, my bad."

I honestly don't remember either. I haven't read, or watched any King stories in a long time. Last one I saw was
The Mist. The ending to that one was so disturbing I won't go back for more...
I've seen that there's an alt ending for that one. Wasn't excited about the first ending so I didn't venture further.

Ooooh, I wanna try this! My OC is a guy who found a magic amulet at an amusement park and it lets him swap places with a suit of alien armor in an alien spaceship created by a space crime kingpin and a bunch of scientists he kidnapped (honestly, I'm thinking about retconning this part and making the suit a space assassin in a fraternity or something) and the suit can fly and shoot energy blasts from his chest or his eyes and he can sometimes transform into a giant bird made of antimatter or something idk lol. Oh and don't peer beneath the helmet or it'll make you lose your mind or like maybe freak you out for about 5 seconds. I'm still kinda figuring this character out, maybe I'll get back to it in 25 years and then abruptly lose interest again lmao I'm so random.

I've heard it argued that the main problem with the internet now is that there are too many people on it. It used to be a place for nerds. Now everyone is on it, even down to the technologically challenged grandpa, who can't recognize obvious AI art when he sees it. I don't know if I'd agree that it's the
main problem, but it definitely feels different than when I was a kid.
It was a much nicer place when it was more of a privilege to be there. A certain amount of courtesy was assumed and people wouldn't give you the time of day if you were a douche canoe.
Now, the base expectations are basically nonexistent, there's a lot less fear of being shunned, and there are plenty of tools in place to actively aid being as non-humane as possible and plenty of communities that'll reward you for it. And with the proliferation of bots/AI, there's actually less of a human connection now than ever.

True. People pretty much interacted with each other often enough to get to know each other on the old internet. Forums like these are practically extinct now. Even on Facebook, which was originally for keeping up with people you personally knew, you'll mostly interact with random strangers. Or bots. Discord
can serve a similar niche, as long as the server doesn't get too big.

To be fair, most of the phaser shots were at the Borg and they technically count as misses if you hit them after they've adapted.
And yes, the average inhabited planet has at least ten civilizations on it.
Also, it's really difficult to notice changelings and the other time was when he had a goatee. I thought he just decided to grow a goatee. A goatee doesn't necessarily mean anything in itself. But that parasitic insect that makes you eat mealworms, yeah, I definitely should have noticed that. 😓
