And the Dems have tons of footage of Trump spouting crazy nonsense.
Everyone thought Biden was too old anyway but some undecided voters think Trump is "smart".
Also, if you immigratted or your parents did, he just called you or your parents rapists, escaped convicts, mental patients, and terrorists.
Good thing you don't live in a 15 minute city, you'd starve! /s
Not just Europe. Much like today, it was a very popular option for people all over the world, including the good, old US of A.
When I hear "I got fired for my political beliefs", I think "they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control".
I have a sleep disorder. I can no longer nap, have alcohol (at all), caffeine after 9am, and so on.
I also love napping and have napped my entire life when possible until recently.
Since I can't nap anymore without ruining my sleep I now sit or lay quietly with my eyes closed and just rest. I set an alarm for 5-10 minutes and snooze for a few minutes over and over until I "get up". I never really fall asleep so (reluctantly) ending this rest period is not that hard.
This doesn't give you that same rested feeling but I can destress, lower anxiety, and so on. This absolutely has led to me sleeping more deeply at night, getting drowsy before bed, etc.
A little like meditation but mostly just taking a break.
Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.
Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.
All this to defend your position that billions of people don't have a way to say "yes".
You don't have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I'm just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.
Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/8043602
Example: there's a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say "yes". It's... weird, to be charitable.
He's a humorist. It's not supposed to be that funny. Just humourous.
Edit - was thinking of Steve Allen. Time to see the neurologist.
You have adequately demonstrated your knowledge. Ten years is not that long. It's happening. We should prepare for it, not deny the reality which is what most do.
How about "shi"…?
A lot can happen in ten years these days. For some reason I always have to state this every time this topic comes up: I never said it was going to be easy. It's not going to be fast. It is going to happen, though.
I work with a few people from China. What do you think they will say if I ask them if they have a way to say yes to other people in the language they speak when they call their parents?
Leg warmers are back.
This is a very different take from "Chinese people just can't do this no matter how much time, money, and talent they devote to it" which is what I'm taking about.
It's going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.
Most people I've talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.
I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.
China will figure this out.
I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn't look closely and thought "yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I'd be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he's probably one of my cousins".
That's just wild. I'm in meetings with slides constantly and never heard of this. We'll, now I have a new rabbit hole to go down (as in "finding the most ridiculous of these").
With each year that passes since the re-telling it gets exponentially more interesting.
Can you help me figure out what game this was? I saw it being played a couple times but only for a minute as I wasn't part of the group and just was in the area for few minutes each time (common room at school).
It was the mid-80s and a group of older students were playing an RPG they referred to as Persona.
It seemed to not require dice and characters were normal people living in NYC.
I know a lot of the guys were into d&d (as was I) but some girls were playing that had no rpg experience and liked the game because it was based on discussion and not so rule based.
I don't recall dice.
There was a rule book and it had a black and white cover that I think had a guys portrait (neck up, face turned sideways, I think).
Any ideas?
Hi, is anyone else experiencing involuntary limb movement in sleep?
I was put on a Parkinson's drug (small dose before bed) which was effective at first but isn't really working now.
I'm calling the specialist tomorrow to discuss it but wanted to see if anyone here had a similar issue?
Ok, I have noticed a real tone change in people who were at the SOL Foundation Conference. I've listened to several podcasts where people are recounting their conference attendance experiences and also noticing a shift in both tone and how much background they will divulge.
-
solemn to a person... even Dave Foley was having a hard time with levity
-
on Spaced Out Radio Dr. Michael Masters (did not attend conf. afaik) discussed an abduction experience that he had previously related in a very somber way... sounded like a man who knew this sounded crazy but wanted it out there (is this a mental health crisis or a person who knows his revelation will make sense to everyone soon?)
" the Good Trouble recount was very serious and Matt Ford discussed how he was involved in getting a document into the congressional record, something he'll cover in a future episode
- is it just me or have insiders become much more serious lately? It really seems like a change in tone, an increase in sharing details on things they would have only hinted at before, and generally a greater sense if urgency to bring the general public up to speed...
Thoughts?
Delving into the science of a mystifying optical illusion: visual masking. A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience has made significant strides in understanding visual masking, a phenomenon that plays a crucial role in how we perceive, or rather "unsee," things. This study not only illumina
I found this article very interesting.
We have heard reports for a long time about the following:
- UAP can look different depending on the observer, even when they stand side by side watching the same event
- some people do not perceive UAP when others do
- photographs of UAP tend to show things that do not look exactly like what the observers report
We seem to keep finding aspects of human physiology that would "work with" the types of odd experiences reported by UAP observers (e.g. the DMT effects and our body producing DMT naturally, visual masking, evidence that ESP/telepathy is not only demonstrable but might be innate and can be enhanced by training, etc).
Thoughts?

Andy is joined by political activist, researcher & Disclosure advocate Steven Bassett to discuss;
- The Schumer-Rounds amendment
- Important language within
- What could be removed without too much harm
- Impacts of the amendment being shot down
- Blow to Disclosure process if its watered down
- Listener Qs & more"
OP remarks: This really makes me more optimistic that while some changes will be made, the amendment will pass and accomplish it's purpose.
I'm traveling with family this weekend in a touristy place and have been out in public in crowded areas. I am really shocked by the number of people who have loud, personal conversations on the phone in speaker mode. This ranges from walking down the sidewalk, to in line for washrooms, to seated restaurant dining.
I've heard people say that it's because the phone speaker breaks (for their ear) but I've never had that happen in all the years I've destroyed phones and never had a friend or colleague say that happened. Other people say it's because the glass is cracked and they worry about cutting their face, etc.
My personal bias is this is inconsiderate but then I ask myself how is it different from talking to a person next to them, say. I'm willing to be change my mind here.
People who do this, please explain what's going on so I can sleep at night. :)
Hi everyone, I couldn't find an ObsidianMD community here so I made one for us to discuss obsidian.
