It's true.
I dont really understand this. Does tiktok have a group call feature now? Or are they equating short form videos of strangers to "hanging out"?

Anon wants to be a vampire
People have more or less completely forgotten that vampires are meant to represent the monstrosity of an unchecked aristocracy/wealthy upper class. They sold their souls for power and now live exclusively by feeding off those beneath them. You don't just 'become' a vampire like you don't just 'become' rich. You can certainly become enthralled to a vampire though

College student put on academic probation for using Grammarly: ‘AI violation’
A professor once accused me of cheating because he mixed up my project with another students, marked that students project twice, and assumed i copied them.... Acedemia is not always the place of enlightenment people imagine....

Argentina Rule
Honestly its bizzare that the original phrase gets said so often. There aren't really that many scenarios in history where "hard times" didn't just lead to corrupt people making times harder.

It's okay, Buddy
You know how when you're studying literature you're generally supposed to assume that everything is intenional and there's nothing just thrown in for no reason ... Well when you read Joyce, it's really really hard not to feel like he's just doing things for the sake of being pretentious and obtuse.

Why are people so squicked out about "Toilet to Tap" / reclaimed water when it basically already works that way?
Listen imma level with you bro, if they are genuinely calling it "toilet to tap", and you dont get why people might find that a little off-putting, then i dont think this thread has anything for you.

Hundreds of black 'spiders' spotted in mysterious 'Inca City' on Mars in new satellite photos
I would love it if publications could just limit their headlines to one misleading term per story. The rocks are a 'city'? Sure. The geysers looks like 'spiders'? I guess. But when you start putting them together in the same headline it feels like your breaking the fourth wall or something

Stonehenge sprayed with paint by environmental protesters
The amount of knee jerk rage I've seen over paint whenever one of these incidents happens. Its paint. It comes off. Its an extremely effective strategy to get attention while causing little to no damage.

How surprising
I mean yes but you also have to remember that in dune the powerful horny men are controlled by a galaxy spanning religious order of powerful horny women.

Im not going to disagree with you, but i have this nagging suspicion that most people who think they are "night owls" are really just shining a phone light in their face every night and confusing their sleep cycle.

A Cool Guide to Kosher and Halal Food
Something to note is that in the Quran god mentions that if you're starving then none of the rules apply and you can eat anything you need to. The dietary rules seem to function moreso as a test of dedication rather than a inviolable rule.

Russia lacks 'numbers for strategic breakthrough' in Ukraine: NATO
Reply in thread
I dont think its unreasonable to assume that the Russian military command genuinely believed the they were a lot stronger than they actually were when this started. Just based on what news I've been following, it seems like its very common for Russian officers to lie to their superiors about how strong their units are for the sake of looking good.

Just Stop Oil activists jailed for throwing soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers
Ya so they threw soup on a protective pain of glass in front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, the painting is fine. The article confirms this but tries to downplay it for some reason.
