I got real excited to learn the physics of a nuclear gravity bomb.

We have gotten to the point in modernity where so many bombs are technologically guided we must define bombs which fall, and are guided by, the force of gravity.

Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?

Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.

Anonymous sex in bathrooms has become almost nonexistent in my city since Grinder.

I'm sure there are a few beats left, but nothing like it used to be.

Dogging seems to have picked up, but I assume the married are organising these affairs online.

I have to be in the minority of sane people who enjoyed this book.

To be fair, I had no context and read the first 10 pages assuming it was satire. The rest of the experience was bizarre. In the first chapter the main character ignores the advice of the train employees and orders the train to run despite the signal being red. It's touted as taking responsibility when none else would. Utterly insane to me that someone who had been out of the area for decades, making management level decisions, would decide they know better than the worker on the ground who does the job daily. The contempt and arrogance leading to destruction - a great critique of management structure and survivor bias. How is it not satire?

Through the looking glass with a self important free capitalist narcissist, with almost no experience of the world and commerce outside their bubble, self hating tirade against perceived inability. Fascinating stuff

Very uncommon. Arguably one of the most disturbing comedy's ever made.

Meet the Feebles is a 1989 musical comedy produced and directed by The Lord of the Rings mastermind Peter Jackson. The film is set behind the scenes at a Muppet Show-like theatrical company, and it nods to The Muppet Movie with its story about raggedy puppet entertainers dreaming of making it big. Except in Meet the Feebles, most of the puppets are diseased, drug-addicted, and / or sexually perverse. Jackson, his partner Fran Walsh, and fellow New Zealand weirdos Danny Mulheron and Stephen Sinclair collaborated on a screenplay that weaves together about half a dozen subplots; the most prominent involves the talented hippopotamus Heidi, whose lover (and the troupe’s impresario) Bletch is cruelly dismissive and adulterous. As the Feebles prepare for the show that could be their big break, their personal problems start to spill over onstage.

It's an interesting one to me for two reasons.

\1. Israels allies are culturally and ideologically opposed to what Israel has been doing in the region since WW2. It is imperialistic, subjugating and what the west has been trying to move away from in the later half of the 20th century. However, it is strategic to them to support Israel so they will continue to bite their tongues and support their ally.

\2. After the second world war Europe has been very cautious of any nation displaying imperialist intent. The mindset was featured heavily in the Falkland island conflict, etc. With Israel's obvious intent of expanding their land, especially with Zionist ambition, many strategists in Europe may find themselves thinking of the similarities between 1940s Germany and the current political ideology of the state of Israel.

Art is theft

All art is inspired by other art, it grows, evolves, eats itself, parodies life, informs living.

Gotta love media wording.

Both a prisoners of war, many are civilians on both sides. But one group have prisoners and the other have hostages.

This has been a journey and I've absorbed a lot. I'm going to go touch some grass and chat to someone about the weather. Goodbye Lemmy, I hope you sort this one out.

Yeah, the main focus of greenhouse gasses in the literature is from land use. The amount of land used for rumanents and their feedstock could plant forests the world over. And don't get me started, noone is farming on the sides of mountains

Awh, she thinks you're warm and cosy

They should investigate, sure. However, the true test is in the court's. A ruling supporting that Momika's demonstration is in protest and does not preditorally target a religious group would be of benefit to future activists.

As a lover if insects and arachnids who spends significant time in nature and the garden, the fear I feel for wasps is indescribable.

The idea someone, two millennia ago, wrote wasps to be the most evil, feared, sadistic thing in their experience of the world resonates with me deeply.

Best meme I've seen all year, thanks OP

Money doesn't buy happiness

Like fuck it doesn't. This is class war propaganda and shouldn't be confused with the idea arseholes are better at making money.

The 1967 amendment already did that. But yes, the campaigns were about the voice, not recognition of first nations people

I hang out with my cats.

People have weird impressions of animal companions, especially cats, because they treat them poorly. You should raise animals like children: learn from a good cat parent directly and read up on evidenced-based books. It's easy to see parallels with poor parenting: intergenerational poor parenting, nuclear families where the grandparents aren't actively engaged in teaching how to parent, absent parents due to capitalisms unending grind.

It takes patience, positive reenforcement, consistency, and commitment. But cats can be best friends.

Studies are easier to beat people over the head with. A rolled up journal hurts more than an opinion column.

Additionally, they have stats on exactly how much money the program saved. Good to be able to pitch a social program making the county/state/country money.

Even the state of politics dating back to the Grachi. Gradually becoming more violent and turbulent and Rome's reach and power grew. A society of adapters who could no longer adapt to the fast pace of change.

The title is hugely misrepresenting the referendum.

Not even our conservative party, the liberals, opposed recognition of aboriginal and Torres islander people as the traditional owners of the land.

The neo liberal progressive party, labor, put in a change to political process. This is what people disagreed with.

I believe we are all protective of the trans community in our own way. Sometimes overprotective.

Safe travels comrade.

Hexbear blew itself up for rejecting elements of our own community. I think its worth meditating on the result of expecting others to have the same views as you about living trans.

Let's be nice to each other and be supporting of the experience whether we see cishet woman for voice or choose not to.

We have to fight transphobia ever day. But, please, not against each other.

You will be surprised at how many attacks there are. I defederated and I get almost no probing now.

I agree our media is incredibly controlled.

However, this summer didn't feel different, it got to 45C as normal in Perth, the heatwaves did not feel longer or worse.

Maybe we're frogs in water but I'd say such an article would not engage the public

Remember when chapo trap house Lemmy banned trans people from the instance for being transphobic for not aligning with their narrow view of what it is to be trans?

I do.
