Principiis obsta et respice finem — 'Resist the beginnings' and 'Consider the end.'

It's an important thing to be mindful of when handling a deadly device and far too easy to become complacent if you don't strive for 100% compliance.

It's not wise to wipe your nose while holding a loaded gun with your finger on the trigger.

From The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu:

Later, other Adventists based their hatred of the human race on other foundations, not limited to issues such as the environment or warfare. Some raised their hatred to very abstract, philosophical levels. Unlike how they would be imagined later, most of them were realists, and did not place too much hope in the alien civilization they served either. Their betrayal was based only on their despair and hatred of the human race. Mike Evans gave the Adventists their motto: We don’t know what extraterrestrial civilization is like, but we know humanity.

Thanks for updating the link :)

I saved a comment from u/allmhuran posted to r/news on 2016-06-24:

"Australia has had five prime ministers in five years, the poor yanks look as though they'll have to choose between two options both of which have more disapproval than approval, and the UK leaves the EU. It seems like a ridiculous amount of instability. One might even call it absurd.

But it's not surprising.

You can't feed a society exaggeration, hyperbole and propaganda for over a decade, and then claim surprise when people don't seem to be making rational decisions on the basis of well established truth.

There's a cost associated with not telling the truth. There's a cost associated with polarized, adversarial public discourse. There's a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

It is, apparently, time to pay the piper."

You're probably thinking of @BeReady77@lemmy.world. I've been expecting another post any day but wasn't anticipating a name change.

This could be turned into a game with some kind of narrative like a Choose-Your-Own-E.U.L.Adventure. Players might try to exploit it though, so there should probably be some terms they have to agree to first.

Don't know anything about him beyond this YT clip, but I'm hoping someone has eyes on Kline Preston:

A 3 day old account that only posts clickbait links to 2 domains, n24hrcom and sciinsidercom -- I wonder if there's any connection.

S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.

Firecracker:

Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don't give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you're a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?

When go to you

happen does How a typo this like even? It's like they noticed the word "you" was missing and then decided to add it haphazardly. If "go to" was omitted it also would have been coherent.

Lieutenant Dan! You got new legs!

In a Neal Brennan stand-up special (Piped link) he mentions he uses a Pavlok to shock him every 3 minutes on stage to remind him to smile.

Can they just insist it's pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.

That YouTube tracking parameter is probably the one I encounter the most and it's frustrating that the Firefox "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" doesn't strip it out. I'm assuming it's intentionally allowed by Mozilla because of some agreement with Google.

As part of an analysis of how [...]

'How' what? Either their editors suck and missed the opening sentence or I'm just incapable of parsing English anymore.
