  • 👉 The system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed

  • Laptops like a bit of foreplay

  • Humanities

  • I remember my first description of communism from a teacher in 5th grade.

    "The government can force you to work in any field they decide. If they need dentists, they might just force you go to dentists school for 4 years. If after that, they decide they need plumbers, they will send you to plumber school and you will be a plumber. You don't get to choose. If you don't like it, they will send you to Siberia, which is a bad place."

  • He wasn't a captain either

  • Once the policeman pointed out the issue of John taking things from other people's houses without paying for them, John made nessecary changes to fix the issue.

    Of course, he wasn't arrested for theft, nor were the previously taken items returned, because it was only a technical issue which was quickly resolved.

  • The corner shop?

  • A worm, you say?

  • Asked what his appeal is going to be to the people of Clacton, the comedian replied, “I’m not Nigel Farage.”

  • It's crazy how much smaller people were back then.

  • Early internet was weird. I found a forum where gay men would write public, erotic love letters detailing their willingness to contract, or transmit HIV to each other on purpose. Like, viscerally describing giving or getting each other's "pozzie" (HIV-positive status)

  • I follow paranormal/UFO/ghost/Milab/conspiracy literature. I collect books by these authors and I like to follow individuals on their career trajectory though the subject matter. I'm more interested in the people and the amount and rate that they deviate from the mainstream.

    I've noticed that their views and books tend to get more fringe and extreme the further they go on their career, which isn't too surprising, but what surprised me more was that there was less infighting than I expected, and a surprising groupthink product where all their ideas come together.

    How do you reconcile aliens and bigfoot, witches, ghosts, and automatic writing, loch Ness monster, time slips and self-mummifying monks, tulpas, poltergeists and UFOs, cattle abduction and missing persons, Jewish space lasers and fae folk, changelings and vaccine mind control? It seemed like many of these were exclusive OR concepts?

    They all seem to come together under one porous, unifying theory of everything supernatural. There's no real guidelines, the whole raft of authors are just continually "yes, and"-ing each other into this vast soupy mass of theories which, if I had to put a label on it, boils down to transdimensional demonology.

    It's like they all sort of figured out that infighting is not so profitable, and so they are practicing academic radical acceptance without any real guiding force.

    That's my take-away, anyway.
