I can't believe I fell for fake news again
Yes, but you can just buy a papery fake wasp nest at the dollar store for cheap. I got one of those and no wasps since.
You don't need to learn to crochet, but you can if you want I guess.
TIL geese can look like that. I thought geese were just ducks with attitude.
They have hawk beaks, would they fuck you up like a hawk? Or is it just talons that fuck you up?
The value of currency comes more from the state enforcing it rather than tangability. It's a bit of a meme by now because of how often I see the book mentioned when money comes up, but "Debt" by Graeber is a good read on the development of money.
Ever since the gold standard was abolished by Bretton Woods agreement, money wasn't really tangibly anything. It used to be "I trust the government has a piece of gold they say is the value on this note stored somewhere". Then it became arbitrary value related to a bunch of central bank stuff that comes down to moving numbers around on a spreadsheet. Now we're moving money more directly on spreadsheets somewhere.
Money becoming more traceable as stuff changes to credit cards and apple pay is a different issue IMO.
Everything uses the documents folder because everything on windows is a backwards-compatible pile of spaghetti.
Games even use the "Documents" folder instead of the "My Games" folder, or .../%appdata/local. There is soft-guidance from Microsoft, but it's not really enforced, and idk what the APIs are like for saving stuff.
last two phones I bought were $250 off of aliexpress.
Before that I got used phones from relatives who upgraded, but that was at the time when a newer model was actually a big improvement generation-to-generation. Then everyone started to use their phone until it became completely useless so I had to buy new.
Aliexpress xiaomi/poco phones used to be better value, the next time I buy I phone I'll probably get a previous generation or 2 flagship from a mainstream company because waterproofing would be nice.
They should get anti-trust lawsuit against them for that.
Not fair to integrate cloud storage in your OS and not have it be open. Even less fair to push it on people like that.
This kid got shot point blank after being tackled because he had a BB gun.
When police department psych tests purposely filter out normal people who would hesitate before ending a 13 year old's life, and train them to become as jumpy as a squirrel but channel that into shooting instead of scurrying away, this is inevitable.
I don't want to watch the video, I only read reports and saw pics of the BB gun. This will probably not change anything, because this is what cops are trained to do. Cops won't be charged I'm guessing. In a normal society something would change about how police are trained.
They tried to play the "he's no angel, he was walking on the street which is a traffic violation" card, so they're really throwing out everything to see what sticks.
Kamala is as bad as anyone else the DNC would pick, but I like her personality the most out of all those options. She's basically Veep.
If she was president they'd probably make her stop talking about venn diagrams and coconut trees, like they stopped Biden from going on rambling old man stories about Cornpop, and turned him into a smooth-faced marionette.
All male relationships stand under the shadow of homosexuality by their very nature. The desire for intimacy between men, whether enforced or not, is always under the shadow of the prohibition of becoming too close.
This explains why guys say "no homo", or "pause", but I don't really understand where the incredibly gay things said between male bodybuilders, and initiations in male sports teams/frats, come from.
If anything you'd expect a lot more straightforward tension in a locker-room from this, where people would hide themselves while getting dressed, and shower in bathing suits. Not people saying things like 'nice ass bro'.
I read your post, and idk where exactly these things come from still. If people are afraid of seeming gay, I don't understand how that explains covering shirtless men in white goop while they cooperate to climb something phallic.
I'll comment on you linked post.
