We might be arguing for the same thing, but semantics... Anyways what I'm getting at is, the victim-fetish, because let's be honest it's turned into a fetish, is a way to absolve y…

My honest theory, being the victim feels good. It's easier to wrap up yourself in the warm blanket of victimhood when you're a loser. Now, I should probably define "loser" a bit. N…

Alright, so I know some of you Arduino/Rasp Pi experts are out there. I suck at hardware dev of any sort. If making open source 3D printers is pretty common right now, why not this…

I still think Banksy is not a real "person". It's just a team of marketers who started a prank or dare and it turned into this internationally beloved money printing scam. Because,…

Quick search, macaques's lifespans are roughly 20-30 years. The old alpha was 31... so, in human terms (roughly), it's like a 20-ish year old woman beats a man in his 60s-70s... an…

Wait... are you serious? Please tell me you're being funny... oh God... that's where we're at nowadays... I think this is a sincere statement...

Here are some real journalists: Marie Colvin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Colvin Brian Barger: https://jacklimpert.com/2021/03/brian-barger/ Bob Woodward: https://en.wikipe…

University of Maine professor Michael J. Socolow: "Gawker began as a crusade to save journalism" Dying on the hill to keep a sex tape of a washout wrestler was in the name of journ…

And... what has happened in the past billion some odd years of life on this planet? If any organism does not adapt, especially due to fragility it... gets a participation trophy? T…

Orchids are my guilty pleasure. I'll say this, they die way too easy in Idaho (personal experience). Florida, not so much. In my buddy's neighborhood here, someone put orchids on a…

You do realize plants are far more complex than that, right? I mean, there's water, nutrients in the soil and the importance of mycelium in the dirt. Most plants you can throw in a…

>Nature isn't kind to humans. Nature isn't kind to anything. I completely agree with you, but that needs to be said better since the root concept here is how humans, but nothing el…

My 2 cents on the same topic, except to literature and a potential "cure" to the issue. I'm trying to break into being a fiction writer. Once you learn the tools of the trade of st…

Yea... you're talking about tax code. It literally is the trees and leaves of the issue. What do you want, a Bolshevik revolution? That'll fix things. What lots of people still are…

>And "owning" the first tweet ever sent? What does that even mean?? No, no, no. It's worse than you think. An NFT is more like a plastic cup with Pikachu printed on it. You don't o…

"Is that the best you can come up with Jerry? What will people think of it in 4,000 years? You sure you want to write it down? What about the thing you did about Babum's small hand…

>I do remember reading a fairly compelling case that the art of fiction-writing has got noticeably better over the last 500 years or so. I've thought about this a bit since I've be…

Sadly, that joke will not last for 4,000 years :)

Pretty sure they are trying to finger out if there's a chance of mistranslation or an extra layer of pun to it.

>From this perspective, your moral judgments about the insurrection, or about some racist or sexist policy, are viewed as objects of study rather than as candidates for truth or fa…

So, this is going to be slightly beyond me to accomplish. At least, I'm not really willing to apply the effort. But what if there was a service to pump out garbage data for these a…

Hot take: Stop thinking of lobbying as a corporate only tool and understand the system was devised as a way for specialized interested (technocratic) to influence congress in an ef…

I was a semi-truck driver for a while. A lot of "fuel savings" gimmicks amount to sticking a card on your bicycle frame so the spokes hit it a lot and make it sound like you're goi…
