I mean… I’m your typical run of the mill cishet, and my response to femboys would be very confusing if I was some huge bigot with moronic beliefs.

Except I’m not, so excuse me while GLUCK GLUCK GLUCK

Ahahah I experienced only the media narrative, and it did play out exactly as you described it.

Of course now it comes to reason that many people were actively working to fix the problem, but they never really explained that part on TV.

Just follow the current

Yep I think pops here has this one, us Millennials grew up with leet speak, it already was a thing in the 80s.

Rumours had the pot at 187 million dollars, to be split 50/50.

Jake Paul in the meantime had tweeted that it was more, that he was getting 267 millions or something.

Even by the more conservative estimate, 90 million dollars buy you a lot of healthcare…

Paimon? So the cute fluffy sidekick in Genshin is one of the princes of hell?

There’s absolutely no way that could have happened. While Sauron was defeated on the slopes of Orodruin, the movie scene where Isildur and Elrond climb to the ledge of the fires isn’t in the books.

Elrond recounts what happened that day to Boromir, much later:

Isildur took it, as should not have been. It should have been cast then into Orodruin’s fire nigh at hand where it was made. But few marked what Isildur did. He alone stood by his father in that last mortal contest; and by Gil-galad only Círdan stood, and I. But Isildur would not listen to our counsel.

‘“This I will have as weregild for my father, and my brother,” he said; and therefore whether we would or no, he took it to treasure it. But soon he was betrayed by it to his death; and so it is named in the North Isildur’s Bane. Yet death maybe was better than what else might have befallen him.

There’s no way Elrond could have picked up a grieving Isildur who is holding his dead father, carried him kicking and screaming, and yeeted him off the precipice.

Imagine, in the hour of such a pyrrhic victory, with Gil’galad and Elendil bodies still warm after their sacrifice, trying to murder the new High King of the Dúnedain and, technically, the ruler of both Arnor and Gondor over having claimed a ring? That’s a whole new war right there between what human and elven armies were still standing…

He has to scrape Jake Paul off of his legs a lot, that looked like hard work.

The BBC article covering this “boxing” match is awesome. You can tell right from the title that the journalist wasn’t amused:

Joshua and Paul earn riches but deliver budget sporting spectacle

The plot played out in the ring was lifeless - a slow, joyless watch that would have struggled to earn even a charitable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

And the ultimate irony is that this spectacle has provided one of Joshua’s biggest paydays and, in all likelihood, his largest television audience.

With seconds remaining in the fourth round, referee Christopher Young perhaps spoke for viewers around the world when he pulled the fighters together and urged them to engage.

Directing his comments at Paul, he said: “Fans didn’t pay to see this crap.”

Oh.

Bad pogchamp. And what happens to bad pogchamps?

While in general it is true that alcohol slows down the central nervous system (hence, “a depressant”), it also activates reward-related pathways, which is why it causes the widely known sense of euphoria.

Here’s a study where they MRI the brain to confirm it.

It also seems to depress fear-related pathways, which explains drunkard’s poor decision making, but adds to the happy feeling if you were stressed or anxious.

Wasn’t it “gay? …or European?”

Hugs! 🤗

Trans mission fluid confirmed.

Ok but that’s just evil.

They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.

There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.

It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.

True, but…

There’s a couple of warning flags in that story - what’s with the “I spend my time making my boss’s life hell”? That doesn’t sound conducive to building a trusting relationship…

Then there’s how you work through a problem with someone, especially higher management. I’ve learned to not over share the details, because there’s this invisible force that commands them to give an opinion and butt in.

Just offer calm assurance that you know what it is going on and that you can fix it, and give them an estimate of how long it will take, but double it first. This will give you leeway in case of unexpected issues, and make you look good if you deliver faster.

One thing they’re good at though is getting you resources. If you need someone else to move, or something to get it fixed, be clear about that and they’ll start making phone calls and make it happen in no time.

You grave robber.

All the code has already been written, and building software is about piecing together stack overflow posts.

Discuss.

This is 100% the reason for the documentary in the first place. Quote from the director:

My dream would be that when people watch it, they take flat Eartherism as an analogy to something they believe in, because it’s so easy to demonize another group or another person for something they think but you’re kind of just as guilty if you do that.

These are humans, people that are missing something in their lives, and this community and their “secret knowledge” grants them that.

I see the SovCit movement as exactly the same thing, but when one digs deep enough, maybe one finds the same in the fanatical MAGA crowds, and in the most fervent religious people, and it’s not a coincidence that there’s an overlap in membership between these groups…
