I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do....
And that's how you keep rednecks from red states feeling superior... through outright lying.
Back in the Cold War days, Albania was the poorest and most undernourished country in all of Europe, yet the population believed they were the richest.
The method for spreading this type of lie has been adopted and polished by the right-wing propaganda machine.
You should see me around the house at night, the only one awake, doing chores while talking out loud, attempting to explain astronomy and physics or Bitcoin to some imaginary audience. Some things I want to be prepared to explain to a friend, or my son.
Then every time Democrats try and pass something meaningful, but are blocked and sabotaged by republicans who have way too much power because of lazy idiots using "all or nothing purity" as an excuse to not vote, those same lazy idiots - who didn't bother to even do a cursory glance to see how Senators and Representatives voted on bills - go bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe again. And again. And again.
Maybe she could have also gone like this every time Kyiv and/or Odessa and/or any and all Ukrainian cities have been relentlessly attacked for the past 500+ days. But just as I'm not expecting water to be squeezed out of a rock, neither am I expecting reason and empathy coming out of these lazy, cruel, mindless savages.
I saw Tron in the theater in 1982! How about that? I'd forgotten all about it, until just now that I read the word "Tron".
There was an arcade next door, of course - they had the Tron game! A guy was playing like a wizard, I asked if he'd gone next door to see it, he looked at me and said - "I've seen it four times". I wonder where that guy is now. Did he go into computer engineering or something like that, just at the right time when the industry was about to explode in size?
There was this duplex in '82 that was showing Blade Runner (rated R) on one screen and Clint Eastwood's Cold War thriller Firefox (rated PG) on the other. As an unaccompanied teen I had to see Firefox, but I do remember that Vangelis soundtrack, which you could hear from the lobby area. I really wanted to see it then, but it didn't happen until I rented the VHS tape a year later, maybe even a bit longer than that.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó decided on Tuesday, 25 July, to share his own thoughts on the "peacemaking power" of sport and how it relates to Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
In their mindless tunnel-vision, they have tried their damnedest to dehumanize Ukrainians, and in the process - inevitably - the only ones they have objectively dehumanized are themselves.
Or maybe a more fitting term would be that they have subhumanized themselves. And they have done this over and over and over again, in Georgia, in Chechnya, in Crimea, etc. They are parasitic.
The article makes no mention of the possibility of this being a binary system of some sort, although I would guess the physics involved for this type of burst are equally lacking in current models.
I see what you're saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.

Arguing with dumb people actually makes you smarter because you have to figure out ways to explain things in a way a dumb person can understand

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.
