Brotherly love didn’t even last in my parents church while inside the building. They convinced a pastor to move his family across the country, and then when ONE PERSON got offended by a difference in interpretation, they managed to strong arm their church leaders into firing the pastor.

So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”

Can you truly say you’ve had the HB experience if you haven’t recieved emoji/sticker/gif spam from people who weren’t alive for 9/11, have never been outside their country, and refuse to listen to opposing views, but know with full certainty that all western countries are 100% full of genociders and colonial rapists who all deserve the glorious death the super benign, extremely peaceful and misunderstood countries of North Korea, China, and Russia who have never once been correctly accused of human rights violations…

And of course, if they point out that your country has dipped into those things in the past, well your entire worldview is shattered and their whataboutism has solved everything and proves you deserve the death they crave for you.

I’m not sure how it is in Italy, but a lot of the older Italians I know absolutely love old westerns (of… Varying quality)

He said “communications platforms” not “misinformation, social engineering, and mass data collection platform masquerading as a social media platform”

More like “calling your neighbor a pervert when they offer you a place to shower when yours is out and you find out they’re taking videos” but okay

Soooooo many things have been unchanged for thousands of years in blacksmithing, masonry, farming, and leathercraft.

There are tons of idioms (in English, I’m sure there are ones in other languages) that originate from one of these things, or other old professions.

I remember seeing a tiny single-blade “arrowhead” at a more local historical museum, and the historical society with all their degrees and (in all seriousness) hard work putting everything together, non of them actually knew what it was.

Their best assertion was that it’s an iron arrowhead made some time in the last 500 years, I can’t remember the exact date but I want to say mid 1600s.

Its… A utility knife. Incidentally also used in leather. The wooden handle had long since rotted away when it was found, I’m sure.

But I’ve seen people use the same small utility knife for cleaning fresh hides as well as cutting/scoring the produced leather.

Basically one of these but instead of it being solid through the handle, it tapers into a rat tail in about an inch.

So they thought “ceremonial/specialized arrowhead” because none of the people who worked there had access to the internet and reverse image searching at the time, and nobody there was into those kinds of hobbies and recognized it.

Of course, nobody gives a shit what a stupid dumb idiotic teenager says, they’re just children who know nothing. I did, however, know someone who likes reenacting colonial American things, and it’s one of his hobbies so he got ahold of them and got the information corrected within a few months.

What, you don’t want to see Kermit fisting himself at [TIME GOES HERE] in the [GENERAL PERIOD OF DAY]?

Here in the Midwest, I got a lovely view of…

Clouds.

I refuse to believe the Netherlands/Nether Lands one is above the age of 13, or being genuine if so.

That has to be a troll…

Please…

I’m 112% for replacing old outdated and unsafe infrastructure.

However, a new, updated, far safer plant will not get built to replace this one. Or any that close in the US until some people die off or shit really hits the fan energy-wise and people get more desperate. This is the least favorable time to build “safe” things.

This plant needed to be closed, but something has to replace it. And unless people start forcing renewables, shit like this is just the norm. Plant closes, nothing replaces it except fossil fuels, emissions go up.

Lpt: DO NOT ASK A PERSON IF THEY HAVE FOUND A JOB YET

If they have and you’re important enough to them, you’ll know when they tell you. If they haven’t told you, either it’s none of your GODDAMN BUSINESS or they’re still looking.

You asking just reminds them they don’t have a job. And if they’ve been looking for awhile, it’s even worse. Especially if you actually said “yet” or added in some other “it’s been awhile” modifier.

I love all the comments saying “yeah well that stuff isn’t free someone has to maintain it”

YOU’RE PAYING 100K FOR A FUCKING CAR

That’s the payment. That’s what they get their money from.

Wanting more in perpetuity is fucking stupid no matter what the excuse is.

“have you tried not being/doing that thing?”

The only acceptable response should be a backhand with a platemail gauntlet.

Have you tried not being depressed? Have you tried just going to bed early? Have you tried smack YES KEVIN I’VE FUCKING TRIED IT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCTOR FOR FUCK SAKE

You’re only stupid when you stop being curious.

“oh my good they were roommates”

When my now wife spoke of her “two unmarried aunts who live together in the same bedroom”, I wasn’t expecting that they were sisters who just kept living together in the same bedroom with different beds on either side of the room, even splitting it sitcom style with a clearly defined line down the center, for 60 years.

And when I explained to her that my friends “aunts” are not actually sisters, they are in fact lesbians who have been together since long before marriage was legal and now just don’t see the point in a piece of paper when they’ve spent the last 35 years together, she had her own moment of realization.

I explained about Sappho and her friend, how that was basically what you had to be among older generations that had to hide it, just roommates. Then promptly showed her that video.

My wife actually love BBT and got me watching it. I still hate laugh track sitcoms, and as a Super Nerd a lot of things irritated me, but overall it’s not nearly as bad as I was expecting from all the meme hate.

Still, the meme is not wrong, Data had a fine positronic brain, sure, but He can kill a motherfucker when necessary.

While not common, kinetic weapons do still exist, and are widely used by outlaws and pirates because of how cheap and easy they are to keep running.

Since I’d wager most of what the empire does by 5BBY is clearing outlaw gathering places, putting down civilian riots, and not fighting against fully equipped rebels (at least not on a scale large enough to matter in terms of designing entirely new units) they would come up against kinetics fairly often. Often enough that they would either need a separate vehicle for patrolling such areas, or the general purpose unit needs more structural integrity.

The empire does like making “good enough” units that can be deployed everywhere, so they really should make the ATST stronger.

They constantly underestimate their opponents, though.

That’s right, its 147 acres of forested land with a 6 bedroom, 2.5 floor cabin and small pond, all with blank ownership forms! And with just a couple million graciously donated by my parents, we have all we need!”

I didn’t stop to greet some customers as I walked in with a cane for the third week in a row due to nerve damage.

I wasn’t on the clock, we didn’t have a uniform, no name tag, nobody would even know I work there until I put my shit on after I clock in.

By that time I had made it a habit of recording every interaction with management, so I just pulled out my phone, hit the record button, and asked “so to be clear, are you officially reprimanding me for NOT doing work off the clock?” and that immediately shut him up.

Managers get awfully pensive when they have recording devices capturing them.
