I’m back on my bullshit.
I think I get what you’re saying, but as far as I can tell, policy with that sentiment wasn’t in place until ~4 years later. This dude was set to be deported as ordered by an immigration judge in Miami, then it was mysteriously overturned without any public explanation. It is unbelievable to me that an immigration judge in Miami in 1962 was not aware of a policy that gave Cubans residency for being here.
How is the Cuban Missile Crisis associated with Pedro Victor Garcia’s deportation order being overruled on the same day?
He could go up there and do some Skrillex Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites or Eminem Godzilla. I’m certain everyone in 94 would be like, “Wtf was that‽”
Alien 1: Why are there more hungry humans here points at Central America and more obese people here points at Texas? Is there a distribution obstacle?
Alien 2: Ah, good observation. No, they can get food anywhere very easily. There’s even an outpost on that ice part where they can’t even grow food. But, the humans drew a line here points at Mexico-USA border
Alien 1: Why don’t they just erase the line?
Alien 2: Because the people on the northside have better weapons and will kill any humans that try to move the line.
Alien 1: But they don’t need that much food. It’s actually hurting them. Are they willing to kill other humans just to hurt themselves with abundance?
Alien 2: Basically, yeah.
Alien 1: Wow. Someone needs to tell them about nuclear power so they could all have more than enough then.
Alien 2: Yeah, soooo, about that. They did figure it out, but made weapons out of it instead.
Alien 1: WTF. Won’t they kill themselves? Someone needs to tell them!
Alien 2: They already know! They even made a clock about it so that everyone can prepare for the end of their species when the time is near lol
I don’t know where I was going with this, but I guess I had to get it out. 🤷♂️
if it was up to me, you’d motherfuckers stop coming to me with fabricated evidence out.
Cause you manipulated them into thinking your manipulations aren’t intentional so that they would provide sympathy 👌
My conspiracy theory is that the Russians got dirt on Vance, so he’s actually Trump’s prisoner. It would explain his wild switch on his opinion of Trump and why he looks so stressed and extra fake all the time. He is trapped and has to go alone with it I hope we find out one day what the dirt is.
I think that’s the understanding of gravity for sizes of an atom and larger, which fall under the theory of relativity. In relativity, gravity is not a force; spacetime is a fabric that is bent by the presence of matter. For things smaller than an atoms, the leading theory is quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics hasn’t definitely explained gravity. One of the leading subtheories to quantum mechanics uses a hypothetical particle called a graviton to communicate gravity. No one has been able to unite the two leading theories in physics (relativity and quantum mechanics) with any experimental success. In the meantime, we just treat (a) things smaller than atom and (b) everything larger as two different worlds.
Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder…Oh…yikes
Anyone have a non-paywalled version?
They’re saying they trust you, you dingbat.
lol, I updated it with a silly link for more even fun 😋
This makes sense given the popular knowledge at the time. The reason Columbus set sail wasn’t because he was a genius that knew the Earth was round when everyone else didn’t. We knew the Earth was round since antiquity. I can’t remember who1, but some ancient Greek had calculated the circumference of the Earth using the angle of a shadow, distance to a equinox solstice, and simple trigonometry. They guy was less than 5% off with his rudimentary calculation, which is impressive considering that he paid some dude to measure the distance between two towns by walking it. Anyways, the Western Europeans thought that Japan was farther east, somewhere around where the words “Terra florida” are on this map if I recall correctly from memory. When the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Marimba (party boat! jk, it was Santa Maria named after the “virgin”) landed on the most beautiful land that human eyes had ever seen, they knew they hadn’t landed on Zipangri/Cipangu/Japan. Instead, they thought they had landed on some island off of India, which is why they called the locals “Indios” (Indians). Anyways part 2, they thought that Japan was much further east than it was. I imagine that since they hadn’t found it for this map yet, they though it must be right out of sight of the western coast of North Vespucci (America).
What I’m curious about is that 7448 inflating archipelago. Anyone have an idea on what that’s about?
1: The dude was Eratosthenes. Thanks, @user134450@feddit.org!
I never expected to be emotionally uplifted by thee fartographer, but I’m happy I was 😊
@Deceptichum@quokk.au thanks for sharing btw
Right‽ I always enjoy their posts ever since I first noticed them during a meme fad on ai images community. Their posts were typically some deep thought stuff.
oooOOOOooohh 🫦
I usually take SMH as them saying they’re nodding in disapproval or judgment. It’s kind of like how a wise adult would see two immature kids having a disagreement over something insignificant and easy to resolve, but their egos get in the way. The adult would nod and perhaps sigh or say, “tsk, tsk,” to themselves. Anyone else see it this way or differently?
People need 3 things to commit suicide:
Social Isolation
If the person feels alone, even if surrounded by people, they’re meeting this criterion. Loneliness is social pain because being alone was guaranteed death back in the day. Being socially isolated is literally painful.
Sense of Burden
If the person feels that all they do is drag people down, then they may see that their existence is a drag. Match this sense of worthlessness and parasitic existence with the pain of loneliness, and the person in a dire hopeless situation. To them, there is no point to being alive. They’re in constant inescapable pain and not only contribute nothing, but they are spreading that pain onto others…at least that’s how they see it.
Capacity
This refers to the ability for someone to be able to kill themselves. Do they have the means? Pills, car, rope, firearm? Military people in general are at higher risk because they are more likely to have firearms. But one thing that I think is overlooked is that they’ve been trained at a brainwashing level that violent killing is the ultimate solution to problems.
Regardless, not having the capacity is a major protective factor, which is why people get isolated in settings that prevent them from killing themselves. I’d like to point out how fucked up this is though. We are taking a person that is in so much pain they want to die, and placing them in a physical environment that prevents them from that. While necessary as a last resort, it’s torture.
What if when someone says their in pain, we believe them? Maybe we offer millions of other opportunities to turn their life around. And if they’re not grabbing on to those opportunities, work with them to solve those barriers. Maybe placing blame on them solely increases their sense of burden.
If you’re in pain, I believe you ♥️
