Other way around. If your fantasy / sci-fi novel does not sell well, rebrand it as a new groundbreaking "history". Include how it gets ridiculed by main stream science that does maliciously ignore all the evidence.

You have instantly gained a huge, uncritical customer and fan base.

Edited a few typos.

"Metallica are a boy band." was not a take I expected to find today, but I think I know exactly the right people to annoy with this.

The base doesn't help you if you push past it.

Get a girlfriend, fap in her shower

The one in the middle is called M. Rover.

And then there is NileRed, who does lick the chemistry He does.

Not only kids. I would have to look for the papers, but there are enough behavioural studies on how people react when given alcohol. Many people start acting drunk when told that there is alcohol in their drinks, regardless of that being true. At the same time they do not act as obnoxiously drunk when given alcohol without their knowledge. The typical slurring of speech, loss of coordination and associated physical effects come into effect, but the behavioral changes are weaker. Up to the point where they realize they are drunk.

This together with the studies of drunken behavior across the globe has lead some researchers to posit the hypothesis that the behavior while drunk is more of a cultural effect, based on how the culture expects people to act while drunk.

Depending on the way the fey phrased the request you may either have insulted it, or broken a deal. If it asks to have your name and you answer with "yes, my name is ." You have lied to it and broken a simple transaction. It may even be justified in using ever more harsh measures to extract your name from you, as it has a legitimate claim on it. At least that is the way I would play such a situation for the fey. For me the thing is that trying to outsmart them rarely works, because they know netter in which rules they operate than you do. A answer like "You may not have my name, but you can call me . " Should work better in my opinion. Sorry for the wall of text btw. Just being bored out of my mind rn.

Muss sagen ich bin beeindruckt.

Musst halt verstehen. Das ist gereiftes Gourmet Wasser. Nicht zu vergleichen mit dieser Instant-Wasserhahn-Scheiße.

"And again; Christians get out and vote. Just this time. You wont have to do it anymore. You know what. It will be fixed, it will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. [...]. In four years you wont have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you're not gonna have to vote."

Das ist direkt aus der im Artikel verlinkten Ansprache. Das kann man fairerweise auch so interpretieren, dass in vier Jahren alles in Ordnung sein wird und die Wahl des Präsidenten egal ist weil es allen eh gut geht. Aber man kann halt "Arbeit macht frei." auch als tollen Slogan interpretieren, der Leute dazu anhält Lebenssinn in ihrer Beschäftigung zu suchen. Ist kein persönlicher Angriff und ich bezeichne dich nicht als Nazi. Ist nur das krasseste Beispiel das mir spontan eingefallen ist, wie man Sachen auch positiv fehlinterpretieren kann.

by mistake?

He only proposed the cat thing to show how ridiculous it is to apply quantum mechanics to macroscopic objects. Unfortunately the sarcasm was missed and it became the standard example of quantum mechanics.

Nah, he is just gaslighting overwhelming everyone. Tons of insane and insulting shit to occupy the media and people, so that he can pull all the stunts he he wants. Drowning everything in noise so that no one knows what to focus on anymore.

Don't get me wrong, he is batshit insane bud there is a certain method to his madness.

Edit: Looks like I was using 'gaslighting' incorrectly.

just could not imagine the scale at which human civilization would escalate. Apart from that, spot on.

I am gong to make a broad, sweeping statement that will ignore lots of individual cases.

Main reason is Improper Socialisation. Those dogs have learned to understand and trust humans but had limited, and in the cases where they quickly get aggressive, often negative contact to other dogs.

They have lived their whole life with humans. Humans are safe, predictable and understandable. They learned to read humans. This is in fact the main trait we bred dogs for this last ca. 40.000 years.

But because they have not really learned to interact with other dogs they get insecure, because these unpredictable things are running around. They are sometimes loud, oftentimes hectic. This insecurity can then change to aggression if the dogs see no other way out of the situation.

I am ignoring personality right now, as individual dogs will react differently under the same circumstances, but the first reaction of most dogs will be to get out of a perceived threat. First by signaling via posture, eyes, ears and tail then by running or warning it of. It takes a lot of training, known or unknown by the owner, to get a dog to the point where it reacts violently as a first choice.

If the US would start bombing North Korea, China would take an interest. That is far higher risk than Iran which has no big allies that could do more than inconvenience the US.

And according to the meme Format One Piece will still oblitterate Sesame Str.

I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.

The OP said "get airborne". Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.
