Fun fact! It's pronounced 'lattyboo-lar-tay'

(No need to double check)

Will you please take this seriously

Petition to put the ampersand back in

The stairs are part of an art installation at the Kongresshaus in Biel, Switzerland. "Beautiful steps number two" was created in 2009 for an exhibition. The artists told the website Snopes the stairs and doors are not functional, and the steps are not meant to support real people.

This is legit the first time I've heard of Cyprus not being European

"Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and it's the only way I'm able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.

Get rekt, libs."

That's some 5d chess right there

And second and secondmost, I blame the anti-Trump non-voters. The GOP only lost about 2 million from 2020, but the Democrats lost about 14 million. I know they're not all accounted for but that is a MUCH larger swathe from blue than red. Obviously some switched sides for their own reasons but basically there are maybe 10 million voters who decided that voting for the lesser of two evils wasn't on their agenda and did nothing. Disappointing.

Edit: obviously I blame all the propaganda from the billionaires/wealthy media/foreign interference etc too (and moreso), but let's take that as read.

The Indian ocean isn't a desert

It's also a false equivalence. The government helping to house people is absolutely not the same as private individuals sharing their homes.

And I've never seen Australia, therefore it doesn't exist

So many people conflate BBC's news with its comedies

The shows tend to be leftwing. The news does shit like this: —

I'm not sure why I thought that

Quid's outdated mate

Hahaha! "Buffing pad".

...get as much sleep as I humanly can, try to feed myself healthier food (and more regularly), develop my hobbies (mini painting, playing the bass, sketching, writing), re-establish a semblance of a social life by exploring the city and its options, spending more time with friends... Pretty much just living life.

That's not nothing!

Heat death would be my assumption, so between about 10^{100 and 10}106 years

since you think literal terrorist groups are so progressive

That doesn't make Hamas and Hazbollah saints

Are you familiar with the term 'strawman'

I remember reading something years ago about an ex troll, he said he'd do it because getting attention, even negative attention, made him feel happy. I honestly think half the time they're just depressed and don't know to elicit positive interaction.

I don't know exactly what to do with this knowledge, btw.

He definitely is. I've never heard of him before but he fits my definition that's for sure
