  • Personally I'd take a sledgehammer to their kneecaps... but to each their own.

  • A lot of padlocks like this don't even need to be cut. Pretty much any of them with a spring loaded catch can be opened by hitting it. Don't even have to hit the cheaper ones that hard.

  • How do you lean in two different directions at the same time?

  • China updates its visa system for the first time in around a decade with the introduction of a new visa for STEM workers called the K Visa

  • what is your favorite underwater animal

    Jump

  • It depends! There are some species that never leave the water (axolotls are one of these) and then some stay in the water for mating season from early spring through late summer, usually about 5 months. Some never really enter the water again after their juvenile stage.

    Edit: salamanders are neat for a lot of reasons, but one of them is how often they seem to evolve into subspecies. For example, Crater Lake has a subspecies of rough-skinned newts called the Mazama newt.

    The neat thing about them is that the rough-skinned has one of the deadliest neurotoxins (tetrodotoxin) and the only predator they have is garter snakes (they are in an evolutionary arms race, garters are immune to the poison). However, garter snakes can't really fuck with Crater Lake because it's so cold and the Mazama lost its neurotoxin over time.

    The horrible thing is that some colonizers introduced fish and then crawfish to the lake 100 years ago and since they lost the neurotoxin the mazama newts are now endangered! Luckily there is an effort by local zoos and I think a school to keep some in captivity to breed and eventually reintroduce them.

    Anyway, special interest info dump is over...for now

  • Does it count if they're not always underwater? If so, newts and really just salamanders in general. If they don't count then I would like to fight about it.

  • I used to ride to work with him and for real every jeep driver would wave. He actually hated it, which means I waved extra hard from the passenger seat

  • History of communism according to Trump: "This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years."

  • can't even get past the first sentence without lying about something

  • In a devastating move to people never invited to movie night, Trump says the US will be imposing a 100% tariff for movies

  • GOP doesn't really have the youth vote. They typically lose the under 30 crowd by 20 points or more in presidential elections, midterms tend to be an even larger gap between them. I think trump gained some young voters compared to normal, but still behind by 20 points.

  • My old roommate had a jeep and apparently everyone driving a jeep waves at other people in jeeps

  • ICE trying to disappear worker gets left in the dust

  • the Dems expand the ICE budget less than the GOP so it's harm reduction sweetie

  • Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance is a land of contrasts.

  • I only ever played the old Castlevania 2 and 4 on the NES/SNES and I guess ignored consoles after that and it's not really my genre anyway, but holy shit y'all there are a lot of Castlevania games

  • How would life be like with a plastic ban?

    Jump

  • An all out ban? Catastrophic without a lot of time to prepare, years at least, probably a decade or more. So many people rely on medical devices at least partially made of plastic. Polyester and nylon are in all kinds of things, pretty much all cheaper fabrics. Most shoes have plastic. Lots of plumbing and construction in general uses PVC, even electric wiring is often coated in plastic. All cars, trucks, trains, and airplanes. Nearly all electronics. Weapons of all types, from pistols to missiles.

    I think the only way to do it without killing people would be a phased approach that starts with the most common and least essential plastic goods, but even then it would take a lot of time to implement alternatives.

    Surely it can be done, but not any time soon and definitely not in the imperial core. I could see China doing it long-term, like a decades-long plan to slowly reduce plastic use in manufacturing, shipping, etc.

  • OOPS! ALL COLOR REVOLUTION!

    Jump

  • At first I doubted this, but then I started thinking about the people driving the Russian rev in 1917 and they were pretty much all 30+ or even older.

    Same thing in Cuba. China was also a bunch of olds even before the CPC was established and they were just overthrowing the Qing dynasty.

    I've never really thought too hard about this, but it's interesting considering there's a common belief in many leftist circles (particularly anarchists it seems) that people over ~25 can't be trusted. I guess that sort of makes sense, older people (especially in the imperial core) are much more attached to the status quo.

    Now I'm wondering if the feds managed to plant this idea as a way to keep people disorganized and further divide the proletariat or if we just suck at thinking long-term

  • is it normal to sleep at 20 or 22 and wake up at 4 or 6 am?

    Jump

  • I pretty much always go to sleep around 22 and wake up at 6. This seems like a "normal" schedule to me because a lot of jobs, school, etc start at 8 or 9.

    Bed at 20 and up at 4 is probably not that common, but tbh fuck anyone who has a problem with someone else's sleep schedule.

  • I'm an llm promoter from India and this is my Israeli art.

    Jump

  • Israel was an ally to India when they fought wars against Pakistan. I don't really know a lot about it, but my guess is they've just had a long-term relationship between the governments and India definitely has a strong tendency towards Hindu nationalism. I think they probably view Israel as a justification of that, kind of like "Israel can do it for Jewish people so we can do it too"

  • Do you guys think a PB of 27:05 min 5K can get me a top 2000 finish and get me a medal?

    Jump

  • Anything under 30 minutes is definitely better than average for a 5k, especially when it's for a cause of some sort and a lot more walkers show up.
