Kraut's vid on Estonia's digital state program looks amazing to me and I wamt it

If you remember the post trump election memes about economic anxiety being mediaspeak for racism, this is basically where that came from.

Bigotry is a despair response, when the promises of normalcy fail someone, there's a chance for them to start looking for new meaning to understand a seemingly indifferent world, and in that state of mind, being told you're part of an exclusive club of inherent superiority is the ego stroke that gets them off.

From the moment they take that poison pill it basically plays out as an analogue of addiction. Even as they watch the sludge they're mainlining destroy everything around them it doesn't cut them off from, they just can't stop, because the validation of feeling that it's the entire world that's wrong instead of just you being shit out of luck is too much for a lot of folks to be willing to part with.

It also doesn't help that these people tend to get fired from jobs that don't put up with racist bullshit, turning the whole validation needing into a vicious cycle sort of deal.

This is also why some very stupid self described leftists seem to have zero worry about the rise of fascism (even as they insist that they're the only ones who truly take it seriously as a threat), they think "just do a socialism bro" will instantly fix everything as if economic hardship would never happen to a socialist society even within a vacuum.

They literally think you can just pay the racists to stop being racists, and that you can pay a heroin addict to stop shooting up.

Who let contrapoints into the NRA convention?

Also, someone either misunderstood what ammosexual means or understood it too well.

Arrest and kill all the oligarchs that were previous Putin Loyalists, replace them with technocrats in a transitional state, institute a federated democratic system.

Anyone who'd want me dead is gone, anyone with power is loyal to me or apathetic on the issue, and the people now see me as a national hero, especially in the resource rich regions mainly inhabited by ethnic minorities who will now likely raise riot if anyone tries to take them back to the old ways.

Also try the patriarch of Novgorod for treason if he tries to pull anything.

CAREFULLY

Federal Reserve?

Granny Smith Apple Slices

Get some crisp and sour into that formula

Attacking the festival grounds while they were in use was a deliberate choice, not just to seize hostages, but specifically to crush the illusion of freedom those grounds represented to Gazans since they'd use them too for music and art that Hamas had deemed Haram.

I was talking more about how Italian Americans that are native speakers tend to speak a dialect that largely derives from Sicilian and other southern dialects that have since fallen out of use in favor of common italian, which is technically an entirely different language based on a northern dialect.

The joke is that these sicilian speaking mafiosos will sound like the american cousins because the dialect the Americans speak is closer to sicilian than the modern italian Sicilians are more likely to use in their everyday right now.

It's actually a pretty hilariously documented phenomenon across the old world and in multiple places within the new world, where countries that endured a nationalist unification period adopted a common tongue, and in doing so diverged the language from native speakers that had migrated to the Americas.

Similar sitch with "inauthentic" ethnic cuisine being criticized by others in America and elsewhere in the Americas, it's not different because it's inauthentic, it's different because it's a preserved cultural artefact which predates a prescriptionist change dictated from the elites (who tended to be from a single language/culture group) to the common public, while the forms seem in the Americas are those predating cultures and traditions.

N95 is not a respirator,

Was expecting a post about how people should be wearing sith masks everywhere and I am now sorely disappointed.

In Soviet Russia, Line Punches You!

There are some sicilians who are about to be horrified listening to all the characters suddenly sounding like their third cousins from America who insist they can speak "italian"

The Megastructure Compendium as an Anthology about life around these massive feats of engineering.

Ah yes

Euphoria but written by the guy who told the kids in Euphoria to get off his lawn when they were 10

Any Batman story that focuses more on how he's mainly a detective and only breaks out the concussion gloves if he's attacked or there's literally no other way to resolve the situation at hand?

Society thinks he's The Punisher in a funny hat because of those damned nolanverse films.

So that's 3 of 4 gas giants that have possible ocean worlds in their orbits, Europa (also Callisto IIRC?), Enceladus, and now Ariel, any contenders around Neptune?

If you wanna avoid the heart burn consider frying with olive oil.

Brings a bit of flavor you'd otherwise not be used to, but it's less stressful on the heart.

Because his fame comes from an era when that kind of age gap and inappropriate conduct was handwaved away with "fRoM a GoOd FaMiLy!"

Especially in his native southern US. Especially especially among the white folks in his native southern US.

You could very easily build the system to perform the age check without logging it to the user's ID since the check only needs to be performed once to create an account and just block anyone without one from seeing any of the content.

Estonia has digital ID based services and they aren't China. In fact China despises them because they've made the cutting edge in digital public services without having to compromise citizen privacy, which makes China look even worse for going out of their way to invade citizen privacy when it isn't even necessary to offer the same safety measures and services.

Hot air balloon ride wit ma SO,

Safest flight time was in the early AM so we got an amazing sunrise view out of it!
