  • From The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu:

    Later, other Adventists based their hatred of the human race on other foundations, not limited to issues such as the environment or warfare. Some raised their hatred to very abstract, philosophical levels. Unlike how they would be imagined later, most of them were realists, and did not place too much hope in the alien civilization they served either. Their betrayal was based only on their despair and hatred of the human race. Mike Evans gave the Adventists their motto: We don’t know what extraterrestrial civilization is like, but we know humanity.

    "Australia has had five prime ministers in five years, the poor yanks look as though they'll have to choose between two options both of which have more disapproval than approval, and the UK leaves the EU. It seems like a ridiculous amount of instability. One might even call it absurd.

    But it's not surprising.

    You can't feed a society exaggeration, hyperbole and propaganda for over a decade, and then claim surprise when people don't seem to be making rational decisions on the basis of well established truth.

    There's a cost associated with not telling the truth. There's a cost associated with polarized, adversarial public discourse. There's a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

    It is, apparently, time to pay the piper."

  • It may not be your real ladder but it still raised you.

  • making people click hundreds of links to get to the real EULA

    This could be turned into a game with some kind of narrative like a Choose-Your-Own-E.U.L.Adventure. Players might try to exploit it though, so there should probably be some terms they have to agree to first.

  • With enough rocks he could practically leave no tern unstoned.

  • I believe Treehouse XXXIV should be S35E05, November 5, 2023

  • The less popular prequel to Super Mario World.

  • It might open an unwanted can of worms but maybe the drivers could claim they aren't signing singing along to the radio but are vocalizing actions like Japanese train operators to ensure focus and safety.

    Edit: I saw the sing and it opened up my eyes

  • I'm having trouble not seeing the farmer as trying to saw off his fingers with the edge of a crescent wrench.
