Whether or not this splits them is up to the useless old geezers who should have retired decades ago.

I’d have traded Bernie for axing all politicians over 60.

I think it’s accurate to say that most women express emotions more frequently, which is healthier, whilst men are more likely to bottle up emotions and thus have more noticeable and chaotic outbursts.

Of course, neither of these are hard rules, but they are observable societal norms

There are 3 years and 11 months many of us spend fighting for that. Then there’s one month where keeping the literal modern nazis out of power requires some unsavory choices.

I was sleeping in my parents room, on the floor, till I was embarassingly old.

Turns out I had/have Tinnitus and found the background noise of whatever show they were falling asleep to made it infinite easier to sleep.

I have three bottles, still sitting neatly in their half of the 2 pack packaging. It hurts.

Chaos like… basic social policies most of the modern world embraced half a century ago?

Seems like that isn’t going to be particularly productive for anybody but russia?

It’s really simple. If you aren’t a sociopath, you never reach having so much money.

I never thought it was possible to concentrate so much middle school english teacher energy into a single sentence, but here we are.

You might like the various works of David Hone, a very talented and well spoken paleontologist who talks in depth about how they know what they do know, and gives several examples of poor paleontology and what they’re doing wrong.

If you can remember THACO, tabletop games have survived needing to change a few systems in the past

Data labeling is a real and useful task that adds value.

 

One of the most interesting details about the Nuremberg trials, which I only learned from the ever excellent Robert Evans on a podcast, is the controversy over how many of the crimes Nazis were executed weren’t really “crimes” - international law wasn’t really a thing, and they weren’t really illegal under German law.

Yet we hung the Nazis anyways, because they were the fuckin’ Nazis. I find this a comforting thought in these times.

If you’re in need of additional fortification, the article on John Clarence Woods might help, the hangman who very incompetently and thus painfully executed nazi leadership - there is also a Behind the Bastards on him, possibly the one that discusses the trials iirc.
