I was at a party once where they burned a mattress, actually it wasn’t really a party, just a meth heads house at night time. So you could do that.

At least he didn’t say whatever Mantis did.

"Language, too, forces the air from the lungs. Beyond the high walls and barbed wire and checkpoints that pen this place, there is the empire. And the empire as well is cocooned inside its own fortress of language. A language through the prism of which buildings are never destroyed but rather spontaneously combust in which blasts come and go like Chinooks over the mountain, and people are killed as though to be killed is the only natural and rightful ordering of their existence as though living was an aberration.

And this language might protect the empire’s most bloodthirsty fringe, but the fringe has no use for linguistic malpractice. It is instead the middle, the liberal, well-meaning, easily upset middle that desperately needs the protection this kind of language provides.

Because it is the middle of the empire that must look upon this and say, yes, this is tragic, but necessary, because the alternative is barbarism, the alternative of the countless killed and maimed and orphaned and left without home; without school, without hospital, and the screaming from under the rubble and the corpses disposed of by vultures and dogs and days old babies left to scream and starve is barbarism."

Um say what? Lichens are a complex composite life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium. Scabs on a rock! The disrespect!

“Everybody loves my cybertruck, they’re always taking pictures of it.”

Oh yeah it’s not necessarily a listen to your elders post. Often they actually are full of it. Just sometimes when you think “this old bat is crazy” you’ll grow up to realize they were 100% right. It’s very difficult or impossible to tell which is which at the time.

For his family it is. Support candidate. Candidate is a filthy pedophile. Son has a spine. Secret service who are protecting pedo mansion kill son. (why are the ss guarding pedo mansion if he isn’t even there?)

So yeah for the son it seems to be more of a redemption arc, but for the family fairly leopards ate my face.

Iran is such a beautiful country. I’ve watched people motorcycle and bicycle through it on YouTube and the people are so kind and warm. It’s really upsetting the way America wields it’s might.

Yeah I was wondering about that too, it only makes sense in a context where he’s much much more knowledgeable about mountaineering than her.

Authority is bad. When dems are in office. Debt is bad. When dems are in office. Federal overreach is bad. When dems are in office. War is bad. When dems are in office.

I’m sure there’s a bunch more. Republicans aren’t a real party. They are just an antiparty. Republicans only exist just as the Democrats farther right antagonist.

How would you have a robust school to prison pipeline if you don’t have plenty of cops at the schools?

Ukraine has proven even consumer grade drones are super key in modern warfare. Therefore our government would really not like it’s populace to have them.

So you grab the elastic part and shake it out by that. Then try to find the seem. The fold it once or twice, now you roll and ball the rest of it up and cram it in the cabinet before it unrolls.

Some australian raptors will deliberately spread wildfires to hunt. So they probably cook some food, but it’s not intentionally for that reason.

I’m pretty sure that’s the smell they’re talking about, they make more of it when disturbed or crushed but it’s always a tiny bit there. But pretty sure that’s the smell they’re speaking of.

Well foreign engineers could come here, I’m sure they would feel very safe and welcome…

Like way better than almost any gift you could buy. Nice

Thanks! I had been wondering what to call my adult entertainment project.

The two things are definitely not separate, the funds for an empire almost always come from the populace. They bankroll the empire, and the rich keep the profits.
