Learning out of spite

I would buy this on PC in a heartbeat. Too bad Sony doesn’t like profits

The Monarch approves!

For a glorious moment, I forgot about the man and thought Toronto had a giant dragon-like ice sculpture… damn reality ruins everything

Pan’s Labyrinth for me

There is some scientific backing to this. Basically by isolating ourselves in these little bubbles of death, we stop seeing the other people as people and this removes any moral/societal blockers to descending into a pit of rage and calling for the termination of their bloodline, death by inept firing squad, etc.

Sorry if I’m the bearer of bad news, but this is somehow not the thing Bambu is doing that is their biggest issue with consumer trust right now.

There are probably plenty of posts here on Lemmy about the issues with the AGPL, potential violations, and sending sketchy legal threats to hobbyists trying to let people use their printers without going through Bambu servers; it is likely worth looking around for the latest on that debacle

This actually reminds me of an incident in high school.

One of the teachers was younger and pretty cool, and one day we were told there would be a substitute later that week, but the teacher wanted to help us mess with the sub, so instead of Literature class that day, we practiced humming at a super low volume to make the sub question their hearing, gracefully dropping pencils and books at opportune times, etc.

Well the day finally came, and sufficed to say we failed at being discreet and the sub got pretty pissed at us. The scheduled lesson was abandoned, and instead we were told to write a short essay about how we should behave in class and the lessons we should be focused on.

Well it was high school lit, so we were reading some books that had adult themes and things, and some of the kids wrote that we were learning how to identify prostitutes (some character had a different woman visit all the time) or how to murder or whatever.

The next week the teacher was back, and because of our shenanigans and the essay content, we heard that they basically had to fight to keep their job, and damn did we all feel like fucking idiots after that.

I still think about that teacher from time to time. I hope they’re doing ok.

I hope they used Link’s lines from OoT, I think it’s some of the best writing they have ever done

Can we please start using this photo of him for every article?

It’s not that you specifically learned about chem trails, I doubt anyone did. It’s that your high school science class taught critical thinking and how to properly evaluate evidence instead of just taking everything you hear as fact

That’s why you were about to see the picture of “chemtrails” later, laugh it off, find (and trust) the science based explanation with data behind it, and ignore the paranoia

Basically those two manufacturers made cars that were easier to steal, and then it became a thing on TikTok.

So," Chronicler said. "Subjunctive mood."

"At best," Kvothe said, "it is a pointless thing. It needlessly complicates the language. It offends me."

$14/hour? Not likely, 20 states are still at the federal minimum of $7.25/hour, and only like 7 are at $14 or higher.

Lump that together with the massive stigma about hiring people who spent time in prison, the shit education and/or training most incarcerated people receive and they’ll be lucky to get two minimum wage jobs to barely squeak by.

The U.S. never abolished slavery, they just gave it a makeover and called it justice.

Oh here’s a fun fact: You made out with your sister!

Probably Maturin, which shows up in IT and The Dark tower series

See the turtle of enormous girth On his shell he holds the earth His thought is slow but always kind He holds us all within his mind On his back all vows are made He sees the truth but mayn't aid He loves the land and loves the sea And even loves a child like me.

Gotta get the balls as smooth as the brain

The most frustrating incomplete series ever. I can’t even recommend the first two books to people in good conscience anymore.
