I look at it like organized crime, you can invest your time, money and mind and you might see some benefits for yourself and your family but it causes untold harm to others and is a net negative overall.

This is bad, there were already a few scandals and a lot of concern over medicines made overseas.

For instance:

I’m partial to Tomatl and Ahuacatl

Like 20 years ago the RAVE Act said venues can be charged if anyone is in possession of illegal drugs inside of them during an event. Similar in some ways

this pandemic could be far worse than COVID, even if we had the vaccine research they just defunded.

The (up to) 90% fatality rate in cats that have caught the current strain of bird flu was enough for me to know this could get damn serious

I’ve got a friend who became Orthodox a few years before Russia even invaded Crimea in 2014, he does the fasts. They are hardcore. He’s a good guy and to see how politicized Orthodoxy has become the past decade or so makes me sad, he just believes it’s the correct church, as opposed to Catholicism or Protestants. I can’t say I agree with him but at least some of those Orthodox people are cool. Not all though, I’ve met some who were real tools, and any flavor of Christianity leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Any time I see Eno’s name I get that MGMT song stuck in my head (in a good way)

Easy enough to block the sports communities from your feed if you browse c/all if you dont like them. I say someone set up the sports communities and start posting articles to see if we can get more adoption by the sports folks over here. I dont have the patience for sports but more users is good. Some sports people are obnoxious but some certainly aren’t (Bill Bppurr comes to mind) and userbase growth is needed.

I was going to say if he writes an app and doesn’t like it, something’s wrong there

I mean I’ve been getting spam sms texts from email addresses lately so I assume it’s complete phone anarchy now in these late days

John Ashcroft notoriously had the bare-breasted statue of Justice covered up in 2002 (uncovered in 2005) because there were so many public TV appearances at the Justice Department during the worst part of the post-9/11 changes.

I know it’s a tiny minority of their culture over there but I will miss seeing screenshots of their wholesome/poignant greentexts. I hope some of those robots move on and turn out ok

So a regular blender wasnt enough, hmmm. We need to get the NileRed of baking on this. I want video evidence now that you’ve given us the proof of concept.

How was it?

I’m led to believe Musk is incapable of intercourse due to a botched penis enlargement procedure, and at least most of his offspring are through AI (artificial insemination)

Well now I feel old. Thanks 😮‍💨

It’s not like you mentioned Plastic and Fark.com. It’s not like you mentioned Usenet!

Main reason for me is Realms limits the view distance to 16 rather than 32 on Java

As much as I respect Ghengis Khan and his ilk, I will not stop listening to that Devo song.

Ok you’ve got me thinking, theres never been a Nazbol state to my knowledge but what was the most successful faction they ever mustered? Or is it just a hypothetical? Seems like a very unstable hybridization as they are so different, although they both believe in a strong, authoritarian state and hate capitalism…

He’s made a big deal before about how he’s “new” rich rather than old money, and how more established wealth looked down their noses at his gaudy lifestyle. So it’s plausible that he thinks the actual elite are another step up from where he is
