Ok, that’s a new one. Calling you a fascist for saying Lenin was a Marxist…
I can usually take these liberal takes in stride, but this is like they invented some new kind of weapon. I feel this weird itch to engage with them somehow, and that’s not healthy.
I am a bit bothered by how the modern borders of Croatia seem like they are designed just to prevent Bosnia and Hercegovina from having a coast. I get that you can have a thin country, but they are really pushing it. Give them one beach!

Did they actually move him to the North Pole or are they having fun with the word “Arctic”?
The Toungue map.
The idea that different parts of the tongue are responsible for feeling different tastes. This blatantly false idea was made up in 1901 out of thin air and then made its way into biology classrooms somehow. It was taught to schoolchildren (including me) for about 100 years as a biological fact, even though every human being in that time proved it false by experiment thousands of times by eating things and tasting them with the “wrong” parts of the tongue. It doesn’t quite count as an example of this happening today, because we finally realized that it simply wasn’t true and have stopped teaching it, but still: 100 years is a long time to realize that something is false when every human being in the world is confronted with physical evidence several times every day.
…Wait, why did they bring the Swedish flags out for this? Denying that our schools have masturbation rooms makes sense, making it a point of national pride that they don’t is really, really weird.
Wait… Are you guys not doing the Highlander thing? Because I’ve been cutting the heads off of other Lemmy users to absorb their power, but if there can actually be more than one true Lemmy user then wow… That is some egg on my face, but anyway the monthly users should start increasing again once I stop!
Sincerely, the 900 or so Lemmy users I for lack of a better word now “represent”.
If this is the kind of smart thing I’ll be saying after reading the article I’ll just assume that I’m going to say something uninformed, thank you very much. I would expect this kind of casual aggression from our future mega cannibal overlords that I am still sure the article speaks about at length, but not from a new internet friend and “thread buddy” like you.
It would mean permanent disruption of asset integrity, a new kind of revenue flow where the only thing that matters is your physical access to scarce freshwater, and adjusting to market conditions where you are being physically welded to the hood of a car owned by the warlord leader of a gang of what will be known as “mega cannibals”.
…Just like I assume the article in The Economist says.
It’s surreal that she managed to get on national television and say this. Aren’t there whole departments of the government/military dedicated to making sure that that doesn’t happen?
Well, ok, yes he’s right , but…
Wasn’t this guy like mayor of Chicago or something back in the day? Didn’t he hold some kind of office with real, tangible political power where he might have tried to actually try to do something about this? Going “Wow, you guys are really fucked” decades later doesn’t really absolve someone.
Once this happens to the music industry, we need to make sure the kids are all prepared to open Netscape Navigator, go to AltaVista and search for “Napster”. They’ll thank us later.
A LOT. If those fuckers could chuck wood I would even go so far as to say probably all of it.
If the Chinese help China build this Chinese infrastructure, it may reduce Chinese dependence on Chinese chips, since China will be able to produce its own chips instead of buying them from China. This may hurt China economically long term, since China is the largest buyer of Chinese chips by far and if they start buying chips produced in China instead of Chinese chips China’s economy might shrink.
Then again this is probably not that big a deal. Just more anti-Chinese propaganda by the US, pushing for Chinese independence from China, without quite going all the way and recognizing China as its own country, since that would go against the long standing policy that China is one country and China is part of that country.
I wonder how many times he could have gone “And then she makes me suck her feet again” in the script before someone intervened.
I’m gonna sound like a fringe conspiracy theorist here, but you guys, What if this was no random accident? What if someone intentionally made the plane crash? But who? And why?
That must be extra embarassing for the cops since all Italians are notorious cowards.
I like that engine.
I claim user name of Bungiefan. I came up with it, so it’s mine. All posts made under that user name are now my intellectual property.
I did some math real quick and in order to make this fair you would have to sentence the CEO to 450 million years in prison. Or the homeless guy to below 1 second in prison. Or if you want to be a centrist about it lock them both up for 225 million years.
