The worst part was that I was already paranoid about literally this exact thing happening.

same here except i accidentally smeared roach guts on my bare chest while scratching the itch that disturbed my sleep.

i’m starting to think that’s what biden wants; alienating all progressives

i take it to mean that the definition depends on how you’ve learned about it.

a real world example is world war 2: if you’re an american it started in 1941; meanwhile if you’re chinese, it started in 1931; and if you’re swiss or scandinavian it lasted until the 1950’s

even in the same country it can be different, another real world example is the mexican rebellion of the early 20th century. if you’re a religious/social conservative it went from 1921 to 1933; if you’re not, it went from 1921 to 1923 and then there several followup wars like the cristero rebellion that lasted until 1933

conflicts don’t cleanly start and end; they windup and then winddown slowly and it’s up to you to define where the start and end are; and since we’re all have different definitions, others will have different dates.

nowadays, they’re called “moderate” or “centrist”.

it’s not a theory, it’s fact: the smell is rotting flesh (and dairy for most) and animals on earth rely on it to know if something is nearby them.

I feel like I’ve been quoting her without having seen this debate for the past ten years.

we all have and will continue to do so in perpetuity; history repeating itself is a constant.

palestinians can’t win because there’s too much money and propagandized people to ever let them; instead the best they can hope for is survival like the many other oppressed people before them and at least for now

28nm was circa 2012 and the article said it was an improvement of their previous 2005 technology that they’re still employing; I’m not able to understand the message this article is conveying.

in addition to what others have said: this is also a classic symptom of territorial insecurity so maybe there’s a stray cat spraying the outsides of the walls of your home.

I’d be really curious to see material addressing contagious diseases and prevention specifically for promiscuous people, I wonder how it would differ from information addressed to a general audience.

i’ve learned from reddit and the knowledge i’ve gain feels less delusional and much more grounded in reality than anything a doctor has ever told me; try using a condom in a sex club (bathhouses not so much) and you’ll end up learning how to enjoy your own company and block out being surrounding by men very enthusiastically enjoying their time with each other. lol

i came here to say something similar: reddit is the only place that has more than basic information on something like this and i wish there was a way that i didn’ t have to recommend reddit.

something similar happened to me when i reported my very well connected silicon valley employer to california’s labor relation board; for over a year, i couldn’t find work despite having the right experience and personal & professional friends alike told me that my candidacy was unanimously approved. towards the end, i got my own confirmation in the form of submitting 2 identical applications for each position and only getting interview requests from the applications with the fake name; so i literally moved across the country 2x to find sustained employment again. (on a related note, i wish i could understand how austin texas is so closely associated with silicon valley california)?!

i was lucky in retrospect because i don’t have a mortgage, car loan, or people who depended on me at the time so i managed to eek out a survival leveraging my experience until i saved enough $$$ to move both times and it breaks my heart to know that these families will suffer much worse because i’m an educated, childless american where even my country’s lowest earners make 5x more these workers got paid, so we who can move to a different market whenever it’s needed and affordable. i have recourse for 2 more years to save up enough money to mount a legal challenge and these people don’t have that.

although, to be honest, dragging out lawsuits that outlive the people who created them is a common lawyer tactic to minimize pay out and i doubt i would live long enough to see it through to the end and it would also spread my name further to other asshats who don’t already know that i’m not too scared to call the state’s labor board; but this time, i’ll be sure to give the labor board contact information that isn’t easily traceable back to me.

thus giving abbott the political boost that he wanted from his base while simultaneous giving him the ability to say that he never really wanted the law but executed the will of the people in one fell swoop; abbott is smarter than he looks.

i was a huge couch potato addicted to all the trek content i could find and i somehow missed this; thanks for the nostalgia and the icing on the cake is that i had the same remote control during the same period.

Try not to judge the city based on a single incident by a scared white man.

a scared white man; plus hundreds to thousands of people in an entire organization of people tasked with safety of the public protecting that white man; plus the hundreds to thousands of people in a judicial system that can openly sweep it under the run to protect that white man; plus the hundreds of thousands to millions of people that make up the plebiscite that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about it effectively protecting that white man.

yes, it happens anywhere else in the world too and the only indictment that matter is if any of philadelphia’s organizations with clout doesn’t at lest try to do something about it; lip service and/or promises don’t count, that shit just for the dumbasses and texans who accept eating shit like democrats do and why i moved away.

i was considering moving to philadelphia and now i’m glad i didn’t and i understand that the corrupt police and courts are everywhere; i’m just glad i got to dodge this one bullet out of many.

make sure not to use the internet nor any technology unless you know it thoroughly; alternatively you could just wait for the in-progress declined to reach a level such that you can get away w it because there’s too much money, practice and infrastructure in place to make anything otherwise nonviable.

i would expect the biden administration to act in secret to break up these strikes since doing so hurt them so bad politically during the railroad strike and now i wonder if we will ever learn about that they are/will-be doing.

The meso American version of this is so fascinating because they built so many civilization supporting infrastructures and then seemingly forgot or just stopped how to using them leading to a collapse several times over.

I want to believe that religion or politics prevented them from enduring to the present day as they were at their height and that we’ll meet the same fate for the same reasons.
