The actual Nazis were nothing but hypocrites themselves. Propaganda did a good job of only showing the elite troops, but not every Nazi supporter looked like a buff soldier with a strong jawline. Most of them looked like normal people living normal 1930s lives, bad teeth, malnourished, scarred by measles and what not. They were telling themselves that their Aryan ancestry made them superior despite their obvious flaws, it’s the traditional Nazi coping mechanism.

And keep in mind it wouldn’t make their ideology any more right if they all looked like demigods. The problem isn’t them not conforming to their own ideals, it’s the violent oppression justified by those ideals.

The Good Place is unspoilable, I enjoyed it much more when I knew some of the plot points beforehand.

I think the problem with the marble run is the constant “rrrrrrr tick-tick rrrrr tick rrrr”, but aside from the noise it’s a great toy and a core component of any child’s toy box. It’s also the start of many Rube Goldberg machines running through your living room.

That pun went over my head. He doesn’t look like a coot though, but geese and ducks look alike in Duck-style, so maybe coots do too.

I thought it was at least named after a Duck, like the McDuck family. But Rosaverse says the founder is called Cornelius Coot and he named it Duckburg for no particular reason.

Side note: Cornelius’ beak looks much more like those of confirmed geese like Gladstone Gander, so I’m not even sure he’s a duck at all.

Second side note: It’s weird that Donald’s family tree is filled with waterfowl of all different species, but no dogs (which seems to be 80% of Duckburg’s population) or other species. Do they have egg groups like Pokemon?

I use master and apprentice. Always two there are, no more, no less.

Are you getting paid overtime past 8 hours though? Because there’s a big difference between getting double rates for those extra hours (incentivizing your boss to hire a second worker) and demanding everyone work double shifts for normal wages.

Not directly, but once the law allows for it, employers start demanding it. Individual workers have very little bargaining power to refuse at that point. So before you know it, the 13 hour day is normalized and labor protections have taken a knock back into 1920.

The shooter who went to a Charlie Kirk event, took one clean shot at Charlie Kirk, saw Charlie Kirk go sideways and left the scene? I wonder what their motive could have been, maybe they would have shot someone else if Charlie Kirk hadn’t been there to bravely catch that bullet.

11 of those comms are on ani.social, an anime-centric instance where it is totally legit to split “pictures of anime girls” into more specific comms. It’s not unhinged or spam at all, but if you don’t want to see anime, probably best to block ani.social tbh.

I for one like to see all the moe on top of my local feed and not pushed down to page 5 of global.

King Cobra + Four Loko is the one I know, it’s called a Hyper Viper. I’ve tried other combinations and they all taste the same, so I’d just go for thematic or pun-based combos.

The Polynesians took the long route.

The European explorers actually took a very similar route, so this seems to be an obvious option for sailors doing island hops in that area.

It’s just not on their radar at all these days. You want to develop and iterate quickly, so you’re not going to program everything from scratch. No, you grab an off-the-shelf framework and implement only your business-specific things in that framework. There’s so many layers of abstraction that optimization becomes impossible (beyond what the framework does for you), but it saves you a ton of expensive developer hours and gets you to market really fast. And when someone complains that your website doesn’t perform for shit, you just blame their hardware, right? Externalize those costs.

There’s also The Core where the hacker says “yea, I can do it”, demands unlimited hot pockets and all of Xena Warrior Princess on VHS, then locks himself up in his room.,

1 atmosphere is 100 kPa, so you’ll have to take 5 zeroes off, but when the magnitudes aren’t even in the same magnitude, it doesn’t really matter.

It has existed for decades (though it had a reboot), but it’s spiked in popularity in the past few years.

Soulseek is the most popular now. It’s peer-to-peer on a different level than torrents, you download from a single other user, which is a little more finicky than connecting to a swarm. But there’s a lot of music available there.

Most of these tiktoks don’t even add anything beyond the text or music, but the format makes it very easy (almost mandatory) for people to add their own head in there. I reaaaally don’t get the appeal, but I didn’t grow up in an era of the internet where putting your face everywhere was normalized.
