It won't always be like this, but it's not necessarily going to *not* be like this in our lifetimes. All the more reason to do what you think is right, right now.

You claim to be a historian, a type of educator, and yet you are not allowed within 500 ft of a school, curious.

"Oooh I need to wearn my wotation fow my job, is it 1-2-1-2 or 1-2-3 I fowget." - puny FFXIV enjoyer "If I stand near a wall you take 100% ATK every frame." - vibing Star Gladiator

There are many examples out there, but the one that comes to mind right now is Andor. I loved Andor, great show, but every shot of a ship flying is this bizarre Camera Is Present In This Spot panning right to left that just looks terrible. It looks bad now, will look worse in 20 years.

there a billion stories out there, a billion adventures, and i want nothing to do with them

The Founding Fathers were shrewd, so you have to know where to look.

hmmm

lmao

It is better if we stop pretending that murdering less people is the same as murdering no people

my man who exactly do you think the bombs are landing on

Really glad you immediately dropped the "I'm not doing a gotcha" bit. Being a liar has to be tiresome I assume

I like The Rifleman TV series, but Herschel Burke Gilbert's soundtrack for the show has aged the best of all aspects of the show, in my opinion.

Fun fact. Olivia Nuzzi would have been too young to be a student in that classroom.

Do you think RFK Jr and Mark Sanford are laying pipe or does Olivia Nuzzi have some kind of threading tool prepared?

Being near too many crystals simultaneously causes their healing ticks to occur on the same frame, breaking the heal cap and wrapping your health to a negative number.

How slowly should the frogs be boiled

All accounts that are posting political memes that look like this should be disallowed from hitting the Discover tab.

Go to Limsa sometime and you'll see a bunch of people who never play XIV.

When?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Stancil got the idea for this post from this other thread that landed on the Discover tab, which is a ... laborious takedown of people who are the poorest in their own nation because they are not the poorest in all nations, and how they contribute to climate change.

so.. so you’re a rage baiter

I take your meaning, that it's unfair to parallel willful actions with mental illness (or at least, the particular condition mentioned). I think the person you're responding to is speaking more to the general movement and its departure from reality. I don't mean this to diminish what you're saying.

clicking and dragging a photo of larry summers over a photo of a woodchipper while the bluesky mods stand outside pounding on the windows like dustin hoffman

They can choke lol

I refer to my list as "I won't kill myself until..." and I'm OK with that. There are lots of things I would rather not live through, and I'm a firm believer in the ultimate autonomy being that one can decide when they just don't wanna anymore.

The only reason you think you can die is because other people have, but also nobody wants to be the person rendered useless because they are freaking out in a high stakes situation. Some people attribute it to PTSD but I don't think that's where it comes from. Sometimes people just be like that.

Never fails.

Convinced Bluesky's "Show less like this button" is purely decorative.

Never. lmao There are sexual predators at all levels of government, in our media (both "news" and entertainment), and they are all backed by billions of dollars earmarked for their continued subservience to billionaires. They will never be dealt with en masse through any sort of legal proceeding.

This does not show that at all. It's a Reddit post, so it's not evidence of anything, but even if it were, it doesn't provide evidence of any cumulative effect of repeated infection; it just suggests that it's possible.

A somewhat amusing and petty (assuming it was intentional) browser thing. I'm using Waterfox, and every website I've visited finishes the URL when I begin typing it - except GMail. These are just some of the examples. @waterfox.net I do like the browser.

I'm imagining a hydra, but each head has a smaller head dangling further down.

You may not like it, but this is scientifically the design safest for pedestrians while doing 65 in a school zone. The tip coming to a singular point reduces the likelihood of a direct collision by 98%, and any direct hit on a pedestrian safely secures them at the front until the vehicle stops.

Catharsis is quite literally about happiness, intrinsically linked to happiness. Things are cathartic because they give you relief from the things making you deeply unhappy, allowing you to then find some happiness. What are you even talking about, dude?

There's a type of person that makes any given thing immediately tedious to talk about, once it becomes something they have reason to talk about, and it is entirely what Bluesky pushes in the Discover tab.

Senate Dems are out here posting noise like "omg the Senate GOP just voted against healthcare subsidies and are trying to sneak a bunch of terrible shit into the funding bill" — and people are flooding their mentions with "bitch, please, GTFOH" Never seen such a dramatic swing in political momentum

by golly gee willikers i dont beileve it!

tragedy in Senate after his pals give Fetterman a new puppy to hold.

Senate Democrats saw their whole base feeling a ray of hope for a change and just had to IMMEDIATELY put a stop to that…

These politicians will make firm statement re:political violence against people like Kirk frame 1 after something happens, but make citizen rights and welfare take a backseat every single time. Let us take a moment and consider why there is ... lopsided urgency between these things.

Take note of how all these spam donation posts are now disabling comments and quote retweets, in order to prevent people from seeing them from *also* seeing people telling them that you should not trust them. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team Implement some basic anti-spam measures?

MMO quest design is so buns, man. It's wild to me that whether you play an MMO from 20 years ago or one from a year ago, quest design has seemingly not evolved at all in that time. I've seen lots of examples over the years where it seems like devs were not good enough at their own game to...

The citizenry yearns for performative victories that celebrate people that enriched themselves.

She gave women everywhere the courage to believe that yes, you too can engage in insider stock trading.

Feeling the lightning bolt of power holding a sandwich, presumably, for the first time. "My god. The question isn't why did he throw the sandwich: it's what could ever make him stop?"

I made this 4K Jamball in Photoshop some years back. I used iirc 5? photos and the heal tool.

Bluesky moderation is still not doing anything about the slew of clearly compromised accounts sharing the same scam donation links for injured dogs and whatnot. The accounts are copypasting the same plea and this is somehow beyond the capabilities of a multimillion dollar social media site.

"A year of public debate" is ... one way to frame it. It's certainly not the sort of thing you say when you're being intellectually dishonest to people in hopes that nobody remembers anything. They lied, got the media (news and entertainment) to circulate the lie, and proceeded to murder.

It's a pretty fucking stupid argument is the point. Do you feel like an insane person arguing that the Iraq war was legitimate? Because you should.
