I didn’t discover frasier until ~5 years ago, but I just love it.

The character frasier is definitely misogynist. But isn’t that the point? Laughing at a pompous and deeply flawed individual was the whole idea, I thought.

“people standing next to musk who don’t punch him are traitors to humanity” is just obviously not a serious call to violence.

Your comments are much more offensive than anything you reacted to - you overreacted to the comment and then overreacted to the ban by posting this.

He’s rich.

If we just extend that rule to everyone we’d have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.

There’s growing evidence that the Anatolian branch - long thought to be the earliest split - may be better described as a sister branch. If so Proto Indo-Anatolian would be the family, with an Indo-European branch and an Anatolian branch.

I believe this has been a minority position among linguists but recent aDNA data suggests that sister branches is a good fit for the genetics, giving a little more weight to that model for the language.

When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say “stop poking me!”

Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that’s its whole thing.

It’s one soap dispenser michael. What could it cost, $80,000?

No copays is not necessarily true.

Back in Australia it was a flat $35 for a PCP visit. A $35 office visit copay with 100% coverage and no deductible is functionally the same.

Our healthcare here in the US is a brutal costly joke. It instantly disproves any claims that our leaders make to care about the welfare of US citizens.

As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That’s why we still largely use the latinized names.

These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin’.

This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

If someone reads my comment, and they’our not sure if I’m serious our not, that’s ok with me.

Yeah, I’ve never seen or heard that either. I’m sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

that affirm your position.

I’m looking for news that affirms reality. Trump’s public record words and actions already left no doubt that he’s molested children. This writer’s credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump’s words, actions, associates attitude.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it’s unreasonable to argue that we can’t assume it’s a duck.

Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There’s a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that’s lousy with it.

It’s crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn’t have been this easy for them if we hadn’t spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

Take Trump out of it for a second

But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he’s bragged about forcing his way into women’s locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein’s love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he’s been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It’s literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

“Edomite!”

I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.

Turns out it’s a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.

Ah! Yep, definitely the same place!

You know I almost didn’t post, thinking about that exact point?

But at least two of them are holding weight on them - rightmost of the front pack and leftmost of the mid pack. Also I’m guessing that they’d still need more robust arms than that just for lifting and carrying in high G, right?

Have you been to More Books, around the corner from the Powell’s on Hawthorne? They don’t want you to use your cellphone, are anti-wifi, only accept cash and use a handwritten ledger - all of which I find quite charming in a bookstore.

They had a ~100 year old typewritten compilation of translated Chinese sex jokes.

Not much fantasy/sci-fi but if you like books it’s got a real ‘living my best life in my bookstore’ kind of vibe that you might enjoy.
