Well… since you put it that way, it is quite staggeringly improbable, isn’t it?
“Through these terse, inter-connected runes, an invisible magic flows. You cannot change the rune, as then the spell will be broken.” “Where does the magic come from, mommy?”
“From the highest point in the invisible topology of this magic, Billy: the Hoover Dam/Niagara Falls”.
The North American box office over Memorial Day Weekend might be described as a wasteland, with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie” pulling in disappointing holiday opening numbers, according to industry estimates....
The only abnormal thing I see here are these willfully ignorant knuckle-dragging shitkickers.
If anybody needs conversion therapy/deprogramming, it’s these creatures infected with an anti-science, anti-reason, anti-empathy mental virus, who fancy themselves at the very epicenter of god’s creation, but from where I’m standing, they are very much in a desolate joyless godless corner to be avoided like the plague.
I can almost see a facebook post along the lines of: One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how terrible things are, when fully 25% of the population are in the bottom quartile.
Have you ever been to an office meeting that turned out to be a CEO circlejerk that dragged on for hours?
But a friend of mine went to the grandaddy of them all, something about state politics, some ambitious asshole making a power play and filibustering for an entire day, he had come prepared specifically to wear everyone down, I think he was trying to approve a new set of rules and conditions that benefitted his position, something along those lines.
Actually, there does seem to be a pixel to reality and existence according to physics, the Planck Length, and the guy (Max Planck) came up with it around the turn of the 20th century, from the math of observing the behavior of light in matter glowing from heat, aka black body radiation. He was also able to deduce Planck Time and Planck Energy.
We can’t see it, though, it’s smaller to a proton than a proton is to us.
There is nothing to unpack here. Stop trying to be oh-so-goddamned-clever, as if engaging with the constant barrage of pronouncements by these social parasites is a productive or meaningful endeavor.
Looks exactly like the kind of messaging that republicans have kept on quietly pushing towards potential left-leaning voters to keep them unengaged and aloof, for years and years.
A large serving of divide and conquer propaganda, plus making voting more difficult wherever they can, plus extreme flagrant gerrymandering. Cripple and destroy government programs whenever in power, keep on blaming “both sides” for it, election after election.
“Look how stupid they are! They keep on falling for it, we keep on serving it!”
Your brainwashed mesmerized grandparents and their lazy non-voting baby boomer children let Reagan through the door in no uncertain terms, and in that environment the 80s “hostile corporate takeover” and junk bonds fever set in; with bottomless greed as the virus, which like herpes, seems to stick around forever.
Yet one more item in an endless exhibit of how mankind is unable to standardize anything at all. Get TWO engineers together to agree on ONE standard plug and the assholes will come out with THREE separate plugs, completely non-compatible with each other, of course.
It’s almost like a miracle that we got the world to agree on certain things like time and timezones, a system of coordinates, the metric system.
All of them received initial pushback, and some to this day. Noisy, noisy fucking humans.
Did you know that for a few decades, every town in the UK kept two different times on adjacent clocks? Back when their railway grid was expanding everywhere. Local time and London time.
There were urban legends back in the 80s and 90s about tourists in beach resort cities hooking up with attractive women in bars and discos, going back to their apartments or hotel rooms to keep drinking, passing out, then waking up next day… without the corneas of their eyes! Completely blind!
Yes. The republican-appointed justices have all been shamelessly for sale since at least Scalia and Thomas. They come cheap, too - paid hunting and golf trip vacations, and you’ve got yourself a judge firmly in your pocket. As long as you also lean corporate right wing, of course.
It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won’t wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won’t be solved just in a few days, etc
Oh look! It’s musk! Because we don’t see that stupid face enough times every day already!
Let’s keep these people living rent-free in our heads as much as possible, giving them all the attention in the world, waddya say? That’ll show 'em, that’ll teach them a lesson, and I’m sure it’ll be just fantastic for our mental health!
Pepe never went there willingly. He was hijacked and shanghaied by a gang of lowlife knuckle-draggers. Yet he turned out to be a resilient fella. Now he’s home, and there’s cookies and ice cream.
