My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”

Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!

Enkrod feels euphoric due to every D-list in this thread menacing with spikes of Dwarf Fortress

It wasn’t that long ago when Republicans complained about participation trophies and how, at sporting events in schools, the ones who did not win still were acknowledged for their effort. They were complaining that it would make children weak, not want to compete, not give their best effort if they got recognition without being the top dog.

Now they demand their participation trophy and it better come with tendies!

Man, that’s some good memories.

Yazinda, Durin, Arva von Harben, Tjalf, Melina and Caldrin, I miss you guys.

Aaaand it’s stuck in my head again

I can, I did, it fucked me up mentally. I’m 41 now and still suffer some of the consequences of the abuse by my peers and one especially vicious teacher.

That’s not how bacteria multiply. There is horizontal gene-transfer, but that would be a very slim chance.

No ancient bacteria aren’t the problem, multi-resistant strains that have already evolved and are evolving in our clinics are the real problem, some bacteria that haven’t been an issue for quite some time, because our antibiotics simply killed them, have now developed resistances and are suddenly becoming deadly again.

E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella, some of the most prevalent bacteria in humans are rapidly becoming multi-drug-resistant and resistant to desinfectants like chlorine. These superbugs already account for a shockingly high number of deaths in healthcare facilities and the situation is only getting worse as more and more countries use increasing amounts of antimicrobials, kickstarting microbial evolution into overdrive.

It’sa me! Mussolini!

Mainly he’s incredibly likeable… this election is going to be the likeable ticket vs the asshole ticket.

This is great, he is politically slightly left leaning (for a democrat), but can absolutely score points with conservative, rural Americans as that’s where he comes from and how he talks. He has a clean bill and is just overall a very charming person with great interview game. He’s the one who first loudly expressed how “weird” the GOP and Trump are.

With him Minnesota Democrats were able to codify abortion rights into law, increase transgender rights protections, pass a marijuana legalization bill and install new gun safety laws.

“As governor, he’s embraced the idea that it’s really important to invest in people and infrastructure to grow the economy,” Blodgett said. “And to do it in a way that really helps people in the middle and down below. To me, it’s just a huge focus on economic issues that are kitchen table issues that people care about.”

You’re not allowed to, but you definitely can.

DW is pretty good. They get called left leaning by Americans, but that’s just because leftist policies have a well known reality bias.

Yes @Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works, please do share recommendations

The greatness of Rage Against the Machine is that their music is always relevant. The depressing thing about Rage Against the Machine is that their music remains relevant.

I can barely take care of my self! Everything’s fucked! Don’t expect me to parent when I can’t even adult.

Depends on the springs

Anti-theist here, religion in all it’s forms is a blight on humanity, but let’s not muddle the waters with misused vocabulary.

The difference between a cult and a religion is not the number of believers, it’s how much they enforce groupthink, how hard it is to leave and if they are based around a charismatic leader who profits directly from the imposed sameness and thought control. Generally cults:

• Rush you into joining and discourage or disallow questions.
• Followers are encouraged to worship a specific group leader.
• Leaders dictate in great detail all aspects of followers’ lives.
• Followers are personally monitored to ensure they’re following guidelines.
• Methods of control are used to keep members close.

That’s how, for example the catholic church isn’t a cult but scientology is. The sharp surveilance and strong measures in place to prevent deviancy make all the difference. It’s easy to leave catholicism, but leaving scientology can even be dangerous.

I didn’t watch that, only the movie and the original comic book
