• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would you ask such a thing? Did you hear what Trump said today? The world has to know!01!0!0!!0!!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a suspicion I can’t shake that there’s an astroturf campaign to make people tired of talking about this shit rather than tired of the shit itself. It’s defense to keep ideas from entering the cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Going by the polls, roughly one in ten or perhaps more Americans have changed their mind about him already. They’re mostly independents, but he has also lost most of the literal actual Hitler-hailing nazis, which is a serious blow to his people power.

  I see someone passing me. I notice I’m going slower than I thought, so I speed up.

  Ah shit, now that guy can’t pass me like this and it’s awkward as fuck. Guess I’ll slow down a little so he can get by me, then pick back up. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’m sorry.

  I’ve heard of it causing dementia regularly in blue-footed boobies because of their habit of high-speed diving to hunt. Every animal I’ve heard of that uses its head to bash things has a lot of special padding in the skull too. I think it’s pretty safe to assume animals can be concussed abd suffer similar forms of brain damage to a human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is pretty true, but remember that it is fixable. Voting in primaries is where you shape your party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rabbit holes, girl; have you never heard of them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The girls I know do this shit too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Am Sexually Attracted To Eevee From Pokemon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even gonna give it a water stone first?

  How it chews to gum five feels. Sense your stimulate.

  The gun is his patronus

  Have a burger, then three beers later I’ll talk to you about politics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better be a sex offender registry on those damn space ships⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can assume from here that there aren’t any aliens, because they would NOT be touching this for a cheap distraction if there was anything of note to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She must be really smart⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure this is AI too in addition to being otherwise shitty and tired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ICE has always “lost” suspicious amounts of children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twice the rejection⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a bi guy. While I’m happily married, I can assure you that if I were looking for someone, I would not do this. Hiding who I am is not fun and can lead to bigger problems later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twice the rejection⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually pretty sure that there are enough people of either gender who will not date a bisexual to make the bisexual dating pool smaller than the straight one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are allowed flavor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just gotta grill that shit and everyone will be drooling for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have food

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Far as I know, flails as depicted weren’t really used in war. They may have showed up in tournament fighting, but not war. The flails that did get used in real battlefields were pole weapons. Long shaft like five feet or so, very short chain that’s essentially just a hinge, then a sort of long head something like 18" that may have had spikes or bumps.

  Talhoffer wrote a manual for them, calling it a peasant flail. It has a lot of wonky binds that I would conjecture probably didn’t get a huge amount of use outside duels. In war, it was probably mostly overhead bonk attacks. Fighting against these things in a duel is a real bitch though. A skilled user can shower you in weird bullshit that’s hard to predict or handle and can’t really be done with anything else. There’s a ready stance where you hold it head-down and lean on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While at this point I’d feel safer if Washington vanished in a blast of nuclear hellfire than I do in its current state, the fact that it comes from another country in this scenario would create a whole new set of problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can socialism or communism have incentives (even without markets)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People like doing things. Most of them do, at least.

  I think the big thing here is that money and markets only stop properly existing in the most extreme ideas of communism. I think the most communist system that’s still viable would just be one where it looks like capitalism on the surface but unions are strong enough to openly challenge the government and there’s a soft cap on income and wealth. And markets and incentives don’t go away there, so it’s a moot point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The “no elections” thing is a psyop designed to make you fearful and hopeless. Fraud is possible, but at the rate it’s going, it will probably be super obvious if they try it, which carries risks.

  The assholes are fucking stupid, they’re bad at this, and I think the Kremlin is intentionally giving them shit advice because they want us to collapse more than they want the regime change. We will prevail if we work towards it, and I see a labor revival in our longer future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think all monopolies should be split into different companies, and then given to the workers who would collectivize them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, some of them should just be socialized. Some markets are naturally uncompetitive and don’t serve the public well when guided strictly by profit motive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re provably easy to brainwash. May as well leave your mark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wise words⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you ain’t jerkin’ yer meat in the shitter you’re a coward and a bootlicker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shitposting and meme-making aren’t exactly heavy lifting, but they’re not nothing. You can also run psyops posing as a conservative who’s had it. I’d hardly call it unethical since the opposition is paying people to do the same. Donations do a lot if you have the money. Convincing people to donate is almost as good. The movement can always use art. Posters, songs, whatever you can do.

  As for optimism, red team has pretty much totally lost the plot. Abolishing ICE is polling higher than the president. He’s dipping into the zone where election fraud won’t be believable. ICE agents are miserable and frequently foiled. I think the long-term consequence of this is going to be a new labor movement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing_weight_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the opposite. Suffering from failure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just close them. All open tabs go away when I turn the computer off for the night.

  I’m gonna make it my year. Fate’s consent is not necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delicious rocks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The other first-column chloride salts are mostly edible at some level. Potassium chloride is used in some low-sodium foods, I think. I saw a couple Aussies on YouTube once going down the column and putting them all on fries. Not sure if I’d be able to find it again though, it was pretty old
