They are literally searching for rare books, paying premium costs for them, then cutting off their spines because it is faster to scan them that way.
Not only do they not need to destroy the books to scan them, but Google already did this 2 decades ago, and they did it non-destructively.

Independent bookstores all across Europe are seeing a trend like this, where they receive random, relatively large orders that are shipped to local addresses. While orders like these still come through in the digital age, especially from institutional buyers looking to fill out new libraries, they say that most “legitimate” orders often come with coordination and negotiation, not just a straight purchase order.

As someone who has literally decades worth of pictures that look like they were taken "moments before the incident", I am glad I can help.

I also must admit that the thought that literally dozens of people around the world are flexing their foreheads because of me is very amusing.

Same. Rather than "opening your eyes" raise your eyebrows. This will "open your eyes" a bit without summoning the full crazy eyes.

"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

As the one of those from the half of the species that you are wanting to wipe out I have to say, "I get it... we brought this on ourselves."

If it's 120 men, well, it's going to take a while.

When a poor (most people) tells me they took a gap year, I usually assume that means that they got a job to pay for college. When a middle class person (entry level wealthy) tells me that they took a gap year I assume that means that they did fuck all until their parents forced them to get the fuck out of the house.
It's only when talking to actual wealthy people that I assume the gap year included backpacking or vacation.
Also when somebody says they spent their gap year backpacking, I don't assume that has anything to do with hiking or camping, but is more about spending a year not bathing and doing drugs with sketchy people in sketchy places.

Instructions unclear, now my tray of rice crispy treats are all salty and smell like fish . On the other hand I have made note of all the employees at the potluck who went back for seconds, and you know what I think this is going to be a good year.

The fan that the builder installed in my parents living room when the house was built nearly 45 years ago is still running, and is nearly silent even at full speed.
It has been running for the majority of its life and spends all but 3 months of the year at full speed.

Ceiling fans wear out only because fan manufacturers realized that they were never going to stay in business if they didn't make them fail.

And the sex is apparently only allowed with minors and those who do not consent.

Agreed. Moving on to the next item, tomorrow we try tomato paste.

Actually, it's slower. The world is round, so the further you get from the ground, the more distance you have to cover to reach the same spot.

Destroy public schools, destroy the military, destroy scientific innovation, stamp out vaccines, eviscerate every social support system, and deny anyone but the most privileged any meaningful medical care.

Wow, thank God no one at the top of our government has ever been associated with Russia or any of the other oligarchs around the world. Because otherwise it might start to seem like they really are enemy agents out to destroy the country. Hah hah wouldn't that be crazy?

Hate crimes are exactly what he is aiming for, or at least making it a real possibility in people's minds that random teachers might commit hate crimes in the name of religion. This is just another attack on public schools. It's meant to weaken people's trust in teachers just that much more. And it is not aimed at just Muslims either. I suspect that most everyone who read this immediately began to worry that this might really happen given the current state of the world. But now you are admitting to yourself that there are plenty of religious nutters out there and teaching positions. And of course you have to realize that a lot of teachers are not Christian. What in the world might be non-christians do in retaliation? Especially when you take into account that insert non-Christian belief here is so much more violent than Christians?

These people want to kill public schools, force everyone into private, for profit, secular schools. Places where they can teach whatever the fuck they want by claiming that it is part of their religion. It's just one amongst thousands of other attacks on public schools, each meant to chip away and erode our faith in public systems.

Same. Not as good as many others, but definitely not as bad as many many others.

I damn, I never thought of that... You know what, I am just going to sit here and think about tits for the next ten minutes just for my bros who can't.

When Russia invaded the Ukraine, and sanctions were initially placed against them and the internet to Russia was cut... Reddit was its old self for about 2 weeks. There were still some random nut bags wondering around saying crazy and hateful shit, but the level of misinformation and everything else dropped by at least 90%. It was pretty eye-opening.

Personally, I'm holding out for the Tesla minivan.

To akchtually your akchtually... He doesn't say it in the original books, but he has been saying in secondary sources for over a 100 years. So I don't think people are wrong in saying that it's his catch phrase.
