This is what really hit me reading Mark Twain’s autobiography when he started describing the atrocities by the US government against Native Americans.
His autobiography was dictated to a stenographer which he then edited later. This way it has the feeling of a simple discussion with Twain, and because of this the discussion of tragedy as a current event, just as you and I would chat over a coffee, really hits home how little we’ve changed.
I watched the video and was shocked at how casual the conversation was. He straight up says maybe we should start killing the homeless and the other hosts just nod along.
They’re constantly looking for new loyalty tests. This is nothing new for them.
Old Captain, refuses call
This is how republicans run Texas. They’ve had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
To be fair, we’re all way worse on the banjo than that.
Bar owls really are so beautiful.
I know we have a decent amount of science pointing to this breaking the mind, but I can’t help but wonder if anything would change knowing an unimaginably great prize was waiting on the other side. How long would it take to count to 30 billion…
A fine point if anyone in control of the unlimited growth we’re accounting for it in any meaningful way.
When I was young my parents encouraged me to watch Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, and Abbott & Costello. These are easy things for children to watch because the physical comedy is universal.
As I got older my love for them remained, but also it gave me a love for media from any age. So long as it’s done reasonably I think this sort of thing can be quite enriching.
That would seem hypocritical if you’re completely blind to poetic irony, yes.
I’ve read this before. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more than a few dog attack videos with their tails wagging.
It’s the one thing I never really understood when I read about it in history classes. The blatant hypocrisy, particularly how fascism is obsessed with “strong men” while worshipping the whiniest manchildren. It seemed important because it was a top comment by people who lived through it, but I never understood it until Trump.
Fatty meat will result in a lot of grease that if poured down the sink will solidify on the walls of your drain pipes.
It’s very possible, dare I say preferred, to have a traditional Thanksgiving spread getting made in the kitchen while someone grills up some veggies.
This is confirmed by a search that’s faster than your comment so where’s your anger coming from?
He’s explicit about being a science communicator and welcomes that discussion.
Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It’s about as weak as discourse gets.
For me, leg bouncing isn’t ‘helping’ anything so much as my leg just does that and to stop it takes constant effort. The moment I get distracted it goes back to bouncing.
Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.
