Cuuuuuuute. Who's the lucky stud, a stranger on vacation or do you know his type of breed?

Fair point, but the ones who make good and come home to start their careers & businesses aren't exactly thin on the ground either. I'd argue that smart people in the country are more easily over-mustered by the volume of morons with the lower overall crowd counts way out in the country. You're certainly not going to see assemblies of brainiacs, even small ones of 1 doz. very often in towns/hamlets/villages of fewer than 1000 people. The smart ones are there, but maybe keeping themselves occupied out from underfoot of the rowdies?

It's been my personal experience that dumbasses are just more notable in the country than cities. The overall population per square mile is so much less that you see far fewer people overall, but unless you know where the smart cookies are, you'll miss their homes/workshops entirely - it only seems like there are more of them because the brainiacs run solo or congregate in smaller groups. IMO there aren't just more idiots in cities per se, just that they congregate more noticeably to the point where it sort of throws off the perception of average capacity... does that make sense?

I audibly laughed hard, this is so amazing.

If my experience is any indication, that tracks. Dose and over user reaction plays a major role in the trip.

Pictured: Outlier (155 IQ, 1650 testosterone ng/dl) carries control (110 IQ, 800 testosterone ng/dl).

I might have been more inclined to recommend this before learning that the teams of Psychonauts who've been trying to map the DMT realm have described the Machine Elves as being sort of like adults reacting to a toddler that wanders into a University symposium on quantum physics - sort of inherently bemused by the intrusion, but also less than helpful (mocking) in accommodating the newcomer's understanding of the undertakings or general nature of the situation.

IMO that scenario is 10x worse. "We're going to coordinate and follow rules to the letter. We don't want you mistaking us for armed insurgents supplying aid to your opponents on the battlefield", and then they get hunted down and murdered anyway. At a certain point several years ago, people were still acting surprised at each new war crime which hit the press, but its become so commonplace that no one is even keeping count anymore.

I'm not going to explicitly recommend it, as 'results may vary from one user to the next', but it's funny and bears consideration.

slow clap Turns out that they're not all illiterate, so I guess a belated congratulations on their achievement of 8th grade reading comprehension is in order?

"Livin' the dream."

That clip has been edited, but is telling enough. The fire interspersed by pauses tells me that they poured it onto their targets at range when the ambush began, then picked off survivors more carefully at close quarters. There's no mistaking a combatant from a medic in such a situation, especially given that the IDF would be able to freely examine those killed and see the lack of loadout - edged weapons, no sidearms, no long-guns or explosives. It's one thing to say that you were mistaken and saturated the area because you were mistaken or someone lost their nerve and fired prematurely, but they've been actively concealing this latest war crime in the interim. Another incident just begging for the ICC's attention, if they can be bothered...

I was under the impression that it was Nationalist Christians.

ICE has not provided the student her inhaler or other medication as required by law.

Not the least bit surprising given what I've heard about the operation of these detention centers. They're purportedly setup to operate in a manner similar to those run by metropolitan Police forces during "civil disturbances" (widespread demonstration and/or rioting), which is to say that officers and medical personnel are specifically instructed to interpret physical/mental distress of any type as a means employed by those detained to "weasel out" of detention.

All but the most obvious, acute and life-threatening injuries are virtually completely ignored and scoffed off for this reason. psychiatric medication seen as optional, as are those for heart conditions and diabetes if at all possible. It's not that cops don't know any better, it's just that they don't care until a person's condition deteriorates to a level which might kill them, ergo blow back and make them accountable for fatalities on their watch.

Unsure about "permanent ban", but have only recreated a duplicate profile as a means to follow the same content without commenting or posting.

I hopped onto the Reddit train late in the game, partially because I was busy elsewhere, but also because of the kind of bullshit that I'd heard about which wound up being pretty accurate. Inter-subreddit feuding, mod omnipotence wielded without the sort of checks and balances or the discretion that it should be, etc. I'm a little annoyed, but not really all that put out given how little I valued it to begin with. It's said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but there wasn't even so much power to be had, some Mods were perfectly reasonable while others were practically bursting at the seams to fuck with users and jerk themselves off about it. I'll settle for news, steam giveaways and smut, thank-you-very-much.

Gold, classic Onion.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Even funnier because I skipped over the 'drugs' part of the title. Thought it was the Onion for a second...

Good catch. I'm going to have to re-watch TOS.

I don’t disagree in the slightest — other than “decimate” ≠ “devastate” yet linguistic drift naturally followed the pseudo-Calliope Syndrome that normalized this fuckup, and here we are. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ah, the confidently illiterate leading morphology is not on my Boring Dystopia ™ bingo card, but maybe it’s on yours?
