Besides the other answers here; Israel and USA also share a colonialist history.

Both are nations established on other peoples land, after genociding said people.

Manifest Destiny is the belief that you are not just entitled to steal the land of “inferior people”, but it is going to happen no matter what. Doesn’t this sound a lot like zionism?

Israel is the only country, except for the US, that is build on racial chauvanism, genocide and expansionism.

Check out static site generator. I’ve specifically used Hugo which took markdown files as input/content, but there are many options.

They are also really easy to host on a git forge.

This is obviously a picture of a Euro Cup fan…

Is there an “after” picture?

I just DuckDuckGo’ed it. Turns out the laser was actually invented in 1960 it was just considered a useless invention until Star Wars proved it could be uses for weapons.

Is it shooting lasers? I thought laser weapons weren’t invented before 1977?

I know this don’t the solution you are looking for, but your router sounds like the crappy default one you get from your ISP.

In that case (since you already got this far) consider getting a better one, if not for this, then for the next time it limits your adventures.

I would suggest looking into OpenWrt if you go this route.

You give them a marshmellow and promise them another one if they don’t eat the first one inside 2 minutes.

Usually kids pass this test when the are around 3 yo, so if the embryo passes they are so far ahead developmentally they will grow up to become a god.

Or something like that. IDK…

If you go the film route, consider using 8mm. Even though some people thinks it’s still too experimental i find the file compression to be far superior (one third file size after transcoding my library from VHS -> 8mm film) and they barely burst into flames.

Besides who has movie nights without drinks nearby you can put on the fire?

Make sure you use mixed drinks and not hard liquor as that will not put out fire and make your insurance company really annoying.

I am not going to say no.

Western democracies (mostly USA, the hegemon) sure did a lot to get the competition out of the way, by overthrowing democratically elected governments in the Global South.

It’s not that i envy chinese or russian citizens, but the reason there is no better alternative (ie. a democracy not owned by the rich) could very well be because western governments stopped them from even trying.

This is a Political Memes community.

This reminds me of Connections with James Burke (i only saw the reboot), that explores how breakthroughs have depended on other semi-related ideas and technology.

This was probably the best read i’ve ever gotten from spam.

The suspense, the (unhinged) world building, the (campy) plot twist. It’s like a shitty horror movie. Bravo!

Still downvoting for the spam, though.

If that’s true, then why don’t the oceans explode when i throw in a Mentos?

I am no engineer, so take this with a grain of salt, but i think it’s to keep the energy produced by the goat contained within the chamber. The internal goat engine was a huge boost to goat efficiency at the time.

Although the guard never found a thing, he continued to search the worker at the end of each shift—year after year after year. 
Finally, decades later, the man was due to retire. As he pushed his wheelbarrow out for the last time, the guard searched it, then said in despair, “Look, it doesn’t matter anymore, but satisfy my curiosity. We know you are stealing something. Yet every day I search your wheelbarrow and find nothing. How can this be?”

“It’s easy,” shrugged the worker. “I’m stealing wheelbarrows.”

CryptPads “selling point” is that it is e2e encrypted, meaning your documents Should™ be secure if the server hosting them is compromised, which i think is meaningful.

So we should get rid of borders and currency, and instead segregate society to appease racists?

You were onto something good, until you went “but racists wouldn’t like seeing homeless immigrants, so we should do apartheid”.

Maybe get some sleep.
