After you’ve seen it, go watch The Disaster Artist.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.

This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.

Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

President who wants to be an Imperialist eschews the soft power required for hegemony.

What a fucking dipshit.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.

Sure it doesn’t make him a monster. It isn’t going to make me stop loving his music. But it does make me question his judgement.

He’s an addict, so he needs to avoid things that may trigger his addictive habits. He talks about weed leading to worse drugs. But not everyone is an addict.

I’ve been using weed for like, fifteen years. Have never been tempted to try anything harder. Most people I know who partake are the same way. Making weed illegal because addicts might go on to try harder drugs is ridiculous in a world with alcohol in it.

Elton John thinks weed should be illegal because he’s an addict and says it’s a gateway drug.

Yes, every superchromat should read this series.

I always called it “tech aura.”

And if you like Sawbones, check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

It’s a comedy advice podcast from the lovable idiot and his two brothers. It’s great fun, and was referenced in the musical Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big fan).

I hope he negotiated 24/7 armed guard as part of his contract...

Szeth-son-son-Vallano will have some thoughts about that. He will be able to blame the CEO for their deaths.

(Please note, FBI, this is a reference to The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, and should in no way be interpreted as a threat of Luigi-ing.)

Are you a liar or ignorant? Or maybe both?

Nah. It’s the same leitmotif, just in a major key. Both are based on the Dies Irae, one of the oldest surviving pieces of written music which is often used in orchestral works (and movies) to denote death.

Look at the other replies to the parent post and you’ll see audio examples.

Yeah. The crash should’ve been survivable. If, as many have theorized, the pilots lost both engines (or believed they had), gliding to the runway with no gear or flaps makes sense. Both would introduce drag and could prevent reaching the runway. Unfortunately, they landed long and fast, preventing them from slowing sufficiently. Even so, at most airports this shouldn’t have been nearly so bad. It would’ve been bad, but not “explosion and loss of nearly everyone on board” bad.

The direct cause of the fatalities in this incident is that damn berm, something that would never be allowed at a modern airfield in the United States and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere. If you need additional height on the localizer, you use a tear-away structure that will not cause an aircraft to explode when struck.

You might be right. Although as I understand it, a person who is excommunicated can be re-communicated (or whatever it’s called) by repenting and turning away from whatever caused their excommunication.

Excommunicate the bastard

He isn’t a member of the Roman Catholic Church. They excommunicate their own, not Protestants. Or, indeed, people who pretend to be Protestant.

Those people are inherently excommunicated, which is to say not allowed to participate in the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church, since they aren’t members.

You can also make italics by surrounding something with underscores.

example gives you example

Oh I didn’t read the article. That’s on me.

Most rich people aren’t billionaires. Most people at a ski resort aren’t the problem.

Wealth, shown to scale

(Just keep scrolling, it’s fascinating.)

And we got the beautiful, mineral-rich upper peninsula. Pretty good trade in the end!

We already have probably like a rogue mini black hole going through our solar system every decade

This sounds fascinating. Do you have anything more on this?

I don’t use TikTok but I knew plenty about Israel’s actions. It was all over the internet and plenty of news sources.
