There’s a whole generation of adults who were just kids when it was in the news. Trump’s approval is tanking and more people flipping every day, open to hearing this information that they deliberately avoided.
I’ll be honest, I’ve been thinking way more about Iran than Epstein lately. So even for me it’s a good reminder not to lose sight
I wound up looking it up and forgot to go back and edit, he called it the Kinetiscope
A single person is powerless but a collective is not.
I think you vastly overestimate how much the average person knows about all this if you find no value in spreading the word. You might even overestimate how much the above-average person even remembers about the case. Epstein died 7 years ago and a whole lot of other bad things have happened since
Green because it has the same vowel sound as the letter E in English.
Here’s a fun fact: photography predates film (duh) but the 35mm standard for photography came decades after the 35mm film standard.
Photos were originally taken on plates until Eastman figured out how to put em on a roll. Thomas Edison immediately used this to make one of those early strobe things I forgot the name of. Not long after, they standardized the design. And then wayyyy later, Kodak released 135 film for photography.
Bonus fact: Both capture the same 35x24mm image but they’re physically different sizes because they’re captured in different orientations.
Hooray, now I can say I used my college degree this month!
Well, it’s specifically a novelty for politicians in MAJOR cities. Small towns (and even plenty smaller cities) have mayors with real civic engagement.
Fun anecdote from an unspecified Chicago suburb: My coworker and I always made small talk with the same guy in line at our Friday lunch spot. One day after getting his food he turned around and said (paraphrased), “Hey…did you see the proposal to repave [street] with a bricks? It will be so expensive and harder to maintain! Aahh! All right gotta run!”
We looked at each other like wtf then the shop owner said, “you know that’s the mayor, right?” Nope, we sure didn’t!
I would never want to live in that town specifically (wealthy but with an inferiority complex because of wealthier neighboring cities lol) but I love civic leaders who practice what they preach
What a bad take.
Why are you printing shit out instead of going and getting that there accountability taken care of, bro
What power do you think this non-profit has to do anything about it? Riling people up with a public exhibit that shows the physical scale of the files for the first time is more than 99.9% of people.
Including people like you making an anonymous comment on a server in another country about how someone you surely just learned about isn’t doing enough.
I don’t know whether that’s a quote from something or fresh off the dome but that’s an absolute banger of a line.
it is expressly forbidden to seek assistance from 2 nations over one problem when abroad.
This is very interesting to me and I’d like to see who/where it says that.
Not doubting you, I’d just love to dig into the history of why that’s a rule.
I am not downplaying the psychological effects of obesity but…Willpower is quite literally the ability to overcome your hormones/emotion and resist social pressure. It IS all you need, it’s just really hard to learn. Especially nowadays with the societal pressure to be hot and how depressing the world is in general.
Comparing obesity to a cold is a false dichotomy as you most people can’t simply avoid asymptomatic carriers. But if you insist on the comparison, we were absolutely vicious to people who got COVID because they chose to not wear masks (and rightfully so). I’m not suggesting we SHOULD be similarly mean to fat people, though.
I want to reiterate I’m not looking down on anyone for having weak willpower, mine is shit when there’s a sweet treat in front of me. But I lost 5kg last year just by practicing at the grocery store. If there’s junk food in my house, I know I’ll pick it over real food every time. So I choose not to buy it.
Restaurants don’t make their own fortune cookies, that is true, but there’s hundreds and hundreds of fortune cookie manufacturers in the US. Outside of chain restaurants, I’d wager most buy from local suppliers. Next time you get one, look up the manufacturer on the label
But there’s another near-flavorless cracker whose production IS almost entirely centralized…The majority of the mass-produced communion wafers in the US are made by one company in Rhode Island.
Anyone who “holds out hope” for a political dynasty can suck shit. You’re excited at the thought of a ruling class that exists entirely outside of normal society?
A politician who is related to another politician needs to work 25% harder to win me over. You need to beat the nepo allegations because it’s true more often than it’s not
Some guys tried to carjack me a few years ago and I just floored it, swerving and barely missing several parked cars. Afterward, I wondered if I would have had a legal defense had I not missed.
I hate driving but in that moment I understood racecar drivers. Felt like Spider-Man with my quick reflexes lol
What is Dan adding here
What is this community? First it’s all reddit reposts and now it’s this
This comment was just an excuse for me to shit on her music. I didn’t know her voting history going in, just saw that Paper Planes woman had a new album
I played Undertale and was kind of underwhelmed. The fandom would have you thinking it was the greatest game ever made
Everyone is so focused on her comments, but what about her music? How’s her new album?
Well, I have a “policy” with albums that I have to listen to it all the way through. But I broke that rule with two albums this year and quit this one by track 6. MI7 was one of them. It suuuucccckkks.
Yeah, I don’t think any post that is written in first person should be mirrored
The chicken bake is great, I don’t know what these comments are about. It’s also the only menu item you can reasonably eat during the drive home
