For these purposes, men can also be referred to as “boys” /s

I heard a report on Democracy Now! from a Houston neurosurgeon who is in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders and it was horrifying. He treated a young man who was shot in the neck while waiting for food at an aid station, the man will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. One of this doctor’s colleagues is an orthopedic surgeon who has had to amputate arms and legs from kids who are 7-8 years old.

What Israel is doing is evil. There are far too many people who should be made to answer for that evil.

It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.

Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.

Gardening as a hobby will end up costing most people more money than they save from eating what they grow. Turns out, farming is a profession for good reason-it’s hard to do well unless you put in a lot of work. One of the under-discussed aspects of the baby boom and its attendant economic boom is that the boomers represented a massive shift from rural communities and agricultural labor to cities and industrial labor or white collar work. As an example, my dad and his five siblings grew up on a farm in Minnesota, and not a single one of them stayed farmers. Every one of them decided life in the city and getting a college degree was better than getting up at 5 to milk cows and collect eggs.

“I was thinking about that phrase ‘free as the air’ and thought ‘what if it wasn’t?’”

That headline doesn’t narrow things down much.

That’s beyond sketchy. That’s like comparing regular unleaded to premium by fueling a Honda civic with regular and a Lamborghini with premium.

That’s fair, I may have been traumatized by spending 3 hours trying to get through the first section in Sekiro before calling it 😅

There’s a second factor at work, which is that the institutions targeted by more “extreme” actions also don’t want those actions publicized.

Consider an action like the one depicted in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” If they don’t have a perpetrator in cuffs, the oil company and the cops would not want to admit the action happened at all, because it makes them look vulnerable.

Sekiro? I guess it’s less of a difficulty “spike” if it’s just a difficulty cliff from the jump.

I loved BG3 but there are serious difficulty spikes. I couldn’t make it to the third act because the second act boss kept wiping the floor with me and I couldn’t adjust my party to make the fight winnable.

To clarify, “Stockholm syndrome” was coined in regard to a woman who was held hostage by bank robbers in Sweden. When interviewed later, the woman recounted that neither the police nor the mayor seemed concerned with her safety, so she buddied up with the robbers to maximize her chances of survival.

Just to clarify, TN is barely a net contributor to the federal budget. They are a net contributor by $4 billion, NY state is a net contributor of $89 billion.

I’ve been watching Murderbot (Appletv+, lots of fun) and Duster (HBO, also fun.)

Kleo is a lot of fun.

Guarantee this guy pays a statuesque blonde to beat the shit out of him, or wishes he could afford to.

A good friend of mine from high school got his physics PhD at University of Texas and went on to work in the high energy plasma physics lab there with the Texas Petawatt laser, and a lot of the experiments it was used for involved plasma turbulence and determining what path energetic particles would take in a hypothetical fusion reactor.

Recently on the geologic scale, so roughly 100,000 years.
