that I didn’t really enjoy the effects overall, but it was a very comfortable way to alleviate boredom and the rebound anxiety and sleeplessness was difficult to handle.
Seems like a lot of people want a scapegoat for a problem that could never possibly have been one person's responsibility.
And if you think about it, it's hundreds of thousands of people's fault
But that doesn't make for a nice finger-pointing PR game.
I've got a laundry list of reasons to hate any C-suite on earth, but I'm not gonna blame the CEO for an IT issue (even if it's an IT-type company)
Centralized systems cause widespread problems when they fail. I learned this lesson as a child playing RTS games whenever my power plants got attacked. Don't rely on one spot (or one company/product) for everything or your whole base will go down (or your computer systems crash and burn)
Spoken like someone who doesn't even know how a household battery works and has absolutely no idea how they're different than this who just wanted to be contrary.
Not OP, and I could be completely wrong on how these specific things work, but it seems to me like they work as a rudimentary voltaic pile:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile
Take a look at the diagram, and imagine a metal alloy or even little bits of metal close to each other, and imagine the electrolyte is seawater.
It's a super basic accidental nature battery.
Just wait until you hear about basic accidental nature nuclear reactors... And no, I'm not joking.
So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?
Where is this candidate?
Oh right they're still on the "old white guy" train and it's not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.
I already need a second hand to count the number of times I've heard people saying "she used to be a prostitute" in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond "I just pulled this out of my ass because she's a woman and that's what I associate women with"
"High in the North in a land called Svithjod there is a mountain. It is a hundred miles long and a hundred miles high and once every thousand years a little bird comes to this mountain to sharpen its beak. When the mountain has thus been worn away a single day of eternity will have passed."
Never thought I'd see the day where, when it comes down to it, JaBles shows he has no spine and folds like the cheap suit his character wore in school of rock.
The only point I mildly disagree with is that all jokes should be on the same level, as some things are just.... Not jokes. They simply masquerade as jokes because the person telling you their views doesn't want the potential backlash if you disagree with them.
Chapelle's stuff strikes me as more of that.
He's just telling us how he feels and tries to layer it with "jokes" so he can act like he's somehow in the right and we're the ones who just "can't take a joke".
That's pretty case dependent though, and someone who knows Chapelle better than I, or even someone with a different upbringing clearly can think differently.
There's just so much that you could actually have a comedy routine about that's not divisive.
Hey HEY. Hey.
No need to call me out like that...
