Reminds me of this classic

Have you never read a single thing of print media ever? Books, newspapers, and magazines have been hyphenating words to keep uniform blocks of text for over 5 centuries

Dude isn’t an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn’t be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say “yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law”

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.

Just wait until you find out what happens in the field during a war

Even the rural college town my grandma grew up in had tram lines running down the main streets in the 30’s and to both colleges. If a city had more than 20,000 residents 100 years ago, they probably had a tram system that was pulled up at GM’s behest.

He fired his PR yeam years agter he called that diver a pedophile. He’s always been like this, there’s just no one trying to cover for him anymore.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

Syntax is for nerds. I prefer a vibes based language.

No, this is about the Empire State Building. The Chrysler building is completely different.

1942 is the middle of WW2. 1937 in Central Europe is not somewhere i want live, because things are about to go sideways.

If the local county records get broken into and every property deed gets stolen, the theif doesn’t have ownership of every property in the county. Anything that represents physical ownership of an item is way more secure with a physical paper trial than a digital one. I understand that cryptocurrencies are different than cryptography, but a physical copy of a record i own and an official copy that a relevant party owns, such as a local government, hospital, or bank will always be more secure than digital tokens of ownership.

So do authorized notaries and paper trails for physical documents. Everyone who had a wallet hacked that lost NFTs or currencies can tell you that crypto cant protect your assets.

You’re gonna have a real blast in 5 years

At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn’t have a game to show for it.

Don’t mind me. I’m jist digging through my post history to give a big fat “I told you so” to all the liberals on Lemmy.

He’s been ready to land people on Mars “in two years” since 2016

Baby Peach and Peach.

Until i got my kitten this month, ot sometimes felt like the only thing keeping me going was the fact that Lady Gaga is going to be in the new Joker movie and then releasing a new album at the end of the year. Shit is absolutely bleak, right now. And while i love my parents, I am not exaggerating when i saw i would rather kill myself than move in with them in a Houston suburb i have zero connection to, 800 miles away from my entire social group. It’s an absolutely fucked up parasocial relationship that i have developed over the past 14 years, but it’s basically all I have to cling onto at this point. I’m sure that a lot of you are barely hanging on as well, but whatever it is that’s keeping you going is absolutely worth it.

Here’s my cat tax. I’ve always been a dog person, but circumstances brought her into my life and now she is pretty much my everything.

Which was discussed in the prior comment. Louis Napoleon got man-handled and France was abke to but up only a token (albeit bloody) resistance against the combined German forces. The German Empire was declared in the Versailles Palace while Paris was under seige during the war. Honestly i would say it was an even more humiliating defeat for France than WW2. All your enemies uniting their countries into one on your own soil while the war is still ongoing is straight up disrespectful. It would be akin to the Potsdsmn conference being held on the deck of the USS Missouri in the middle of Tokyo Bay before the atomic bombings.
