  Those “luxury” apartments are just plywood and sheetrock byult as fast and cheap as possible. They look good at first glance but start to come apart after just a couple years.

  One thing that is important to note is that King Arthur was sorta used as a template for story telling in medieval England, Wales, and France. There are dozens of conflicting stories and accounts because some tales are from the 7th century, and some are from the 14th. King Arthur and The knights of the round table are essentially a folk hero tale for the nobility of the middle ages.

  Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur is the first compilation of Arthurian tales that were collected, but it was written in the 15th century and can be a real bear to read if you want something more casual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes currency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only officially. The US effectivly dropped the gold standard in 1933 because it was making the Great Depression worse. Money was completely stagnant, and the federal worl projects FDR championed to get the economy moving again couldn’t be funded when the government couldn’t get access to more gold.

  Because you didn’t have extreme liver damage

  It’s also indicative of extreme liver damage

  It used to be so much fun to watch my chihuahua mind her own business and then just say “outside?” to watch her go totally stiff and freeze. Then i would say “Outaide?” again and she would go absolutely ballistic

  Idk if kitty litter or dental floss fits into either of those categories

  12 years ago Skype and team speak were the go to for voice chat for gaming. Once someone comes up with a less shitty platform, everyone will start to migrate again.

  Dissect him how I may, then, I but go skin deep; I know him not, and never will. But if I know not even the tail of this whale, how understand his head? much more, how comprehend his face, when face he has none? Thou shalt see my back parts, my tail, he seems to say, but my face shall not be seen. But I cannot completely make out his back parts; and hint what he will about his face, I say again he has no face.

  Boys start playing with their weiners as soon as their hands can start grasping stuff. It’s instinctual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panic! on the trade floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Europe is in the midst of a massive housing crisis.

  Canada has possibly the worst housing crisis in the developed world

  Korean homes are 3x as much in the major cities as smaller rural cities.

  Housing has been consuming a larger and larger chunk of people’s incomes for the past 15 years. That’s a cost of living crisis. Because the 2008 crash allowed the wealthy to pick up all the pieces and restart the game using the exact same rules. Nothing changed, nothing improved, neoiberals just painted over the foundational cracks of our society and said everything is fine now. The finacialization of every aspect of our lives has only become more extreme, so i would definitely say the 2008 crisis was never actually solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panic! on the trade floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Replacing salaried desk jobs with hourly wages and no pay increase isn’t exactly employment growth. If everything recovered just fine, why are millennials miles behind where their parents were at a similar age? Homeownership has been steadily declining, savings accounts have steadily been dwindling, and the rate of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has only gone up in the past 20 years. That’s not a recovery, it’s an adaptation to a new normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panic! on the trade floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk how you can say it ended when the fundamental causes of the collapse were never addressed, the perpetrators were never punished, and the middle class continued to shrink. Stocks were pretty much the only thing that improved since 2008.

  Jacobs is a professor at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute, and in 1976 he and a team from the university’s psychology department set out to study how LSD affected felines. That might seem like a bizarre research topic, but hey, it was 1976, they had this acid, they had these cats—what else were they going to do?

  Lots of eild experiments giving drugs to animals.

  I’m ready Moby Dick for the first yime right now and i absolutely love it! I love stories about the sea. I want to reread it again in a few years and do a journal about the book. I wanna be one of those freaks that writes a report about every chapter. I’ll post every one on my blog and forward the post to my aunt who’s a retired highschool English teacher. Let her know all those years as a public teacher weren’t for nothing.

  That’s actually pretty the whole premise of The Vital Abyss short story. Cortazar explains how he signed up with Protogen and how glad he was to get the nerve staple that removed all empathy from him. Ot, and all the other short stories are worth reading if you liked The Expanse

  There is a massive difference between allowed to say my government is doing something wrong, and being allowed to say “gas all the kikes”. One is criticism of authority, which is good. The other is hate speech, which is bad. You can absolutely have one without the other.
