  • If Trump called for a Vietnam-scale deployment, how long would it take Australia to bring in the draft and train new conscripts to readiness?

  • You’re a nanocapitalist if the dividends from the shares/funds you own buy you a coffee every few months while you work to make ends meet

  • The poor little duck that’s rich in luck

  • or as he calls it, the all-you-can-eat buffet

  • ❌ squad goals

    ✅ squad strike

  • There’s also the effect of psychoactive drugs. Cannabis is correlated with an affinity for heavy bass (think reggae and dub), and apparently cocaine can cause sound engineers to push the treble up, resulting in a harsh, brittle mix.

  • It’s said that the “H” in “Jesus H. Christ” stands for “haploid”, due to his unique circumstances of conception.

  • Rap battles apparently can be traced to the Black American tradition of Dozens, a duel of insults that ends when the losing party is knocked sufficiently off balance to not be able to come up with a riposte. Though trying to psych people out with words is a recurring phenomenon: blues singers, for example, would compete to improvise the most outrageously filthy lyrics while performing live. (The original, unreleased version of Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti” came from this tradition.)

  • If they wanted computers, they should have invented the numeral zero

  • In modern America, smiling is normalised in a way that’s an outlier among human cultures. If someone in Russia smiled as much as the typical American, they’d be regarded as a simpleton, too feeble-minded to have an understanding of the world.

  • Some of your distant ancestors, from long before modern European ethnic groups formed, were of a lineage more likely to eventually end up in Spain than Scandinavia, though you inherited from the minority.

  • Presumably it depends on the men having kids from a previous (or soon-to-be-previous) relationship, so if you’re one of those childless weirdos, you may need to make up a child, like in that Nick Hornby novel.

  • This seems to neglect the Trump administration’s plans to lift sanctions on Russian oil, which would increase the pool of buyers and the asking price.

  • tl;dr: manosphere influencer stupidity, this time about protein

  • A lot of people are. Though it doesn’t have to be to Tehran: anywhere will do

  • The US SUV-style aggressive-looking headlight ports are a nice touch.

  • The same can be said for democracy in general. Disinformation is carbon monoxide in the bloodstream of civil society, and LLMs (“AI”) accelerate it.

  • Given that their main fishing rival, the UK, is no longer in the EU, it should hopefully be easier.

  • Well, you don’t want to risk disappointing the greys and reptoids.
