Gets a little easier, but I still have to concentrate to make it sound clear to this day (20+ years later), but its much easier on the electric than on the classical guitar I learned on.

Upvote if you like the correct use of OR

Why do you keep eating cat poo? It's full of toxoplasmosis. It's going to kill you. Why? WHY?

Oh sorry, that's 3 questions.

We have these popular tropes of Spock and Sherlock Holmes getting it right by being logical, but the idea that pure logical thinking exists at all is a myth. All conscious thought occurs within a chemical and emotional context. Those emotional components are needed for thought to function at all.

The idea is explored in great detail in Descarte's Error: Emotion, Reason and the human brain by Antonio Demasio, a very readable book about neuroscience.

Sure, just accept that you were cursed with dark skin for the sins of your ancestors, and damned by god to forever be the slave of white people, then we can all unite.

Did you hear that they have learned how to eat cane toads?

They hated him because he spoke the truth

I heard that the Inuit people fuck every part of the man, no part is wasted.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.

It was chewy like undercooked bacon rind.

Is this the one where he had to crossdress as a woman to get close enough to steal Mjölnir back?

Same here, like reddit as it used to be.

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

Not really educational, more just a fun stream that covers astrology/exobiology news and gaming, but I enjoy Moohoodles on Twitch.

Ok I will upvote this, but only because I don't feel well informed enough to form a proper critical opinion about it.

He doesn't try to prevent crime, he simply delights in the sadistic act of beating up criminals, which is ironically a crime.

He instantly judges people based on which side of the law they stand on, but when he is declared a criminal himself, he doesn't even attempt to reflect on it. He just keeps punching.

When his own friend is revealed to be a rapist, murderer and war criminal(?), he has no interest ["I'm not concerned with speculating on the moral lapses of men who died in their country’s service"], because he doesn't actually care about crime, he just uses 'fighting crime' as an excuse for his real passion, beating up those he considers undesirables.

He's a hypocrite (and a fascist).

It's the same story with tons of films: Taxi Driver, Joker, The Boys, Watchmen. They get universal praise from the left and right.

The Left: "This insightful satire shows the protagonist's slow descent from obsession and inceldom into terrorism and psychopathy. It serves as a stark reminder of how these thought patterns are the beginnings of a societal tragedy."

The Right: "I fucking love this guy. He just shoots the people he doesn't like. Based. Highly recommended."

I literally only play on slow, and I can barely keep up with my notifications. How do you people live?

Sacha Baron Cohen is one classy son of a bitch.

He played Ali G. He risked his life interviewing conservatives. He infuriated the Kazakhstan government.
