The explanation I read is that skull is cranéo in spanish - “cranium” - which would give us C = 3rd letter of the alphabet. The jury is still out on the cross, but perhaps “god is number one” or something. Never mind that actual MS-13 members have no qualms about tattooing the actual letters all over their bodies instead of elaborate ciphers…

None of this matters though, focus should be kept on the right to due process. They can smear him all they want, it doesn’t change the facts.

An elephant? Why not the wooly mammoth?

All I know is that I now completely understand why the T-Rex was so aggressive all the time.

how that created babies

Exactly how wasn’t known anywhere before1875, however most humans through history seem to have had some idea of there being a connection between sex and pregnancy. I remember reading about isolated island peoples having other ideas, like the Trobriand people who believed that an ancestral spirit entered the woman’s body and that sex had nothing to do with it. However this article claims those reports are half-true at best; the Trobriand people apparently considers sex necessary for the formation of the fetus, even if it’s not the primary cause. There’s also some speculation that humans became aware of the relationship between sex and pregnancy after the domestication of dogs because of their shorter gestation period. Ultimately, we’ll never know…

Genesis 38:8-10

Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name. And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing[.]

In all seriousness, since apes do it (a lot), I don’t think there ever were a “first person in history”. It’s more just a consequence of having long enough arms.

There’s a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called “taming your triggers”.

Podcast name? Thanks for the tips here

I’m guessing the reason that The Cure (debut LP from 1979) is on this list is that it was made by an american, that first heard them because of “Friday I’m in Love”?

My brain: 4/6 of those are 80s bands

Plus it’s not the government making this claim, but an “alt-right influencer”. Their audience isn’t going to fact-check anything they agree with anyway, so why not just lie?

I’m primarily going to hold you to this statement:

We have seen the crowd turn against someone, hating someone, many times. It always blows over. Thats why we dont talk about what happened a year ago anymore.

The bad will generated in the past few months won’t blow over for Musk. This also means that, for example, if Tesla gets rid of Musk in the year to come, then their value in a year doesn’t really mean much to this argument. :) See you in March 2026.

I don’t know about that – a kind-hearted and gentle idiot would have a hard time, I think

• Coven
• Girlschool
• Early Bolt Thrower
• Boris
• Corrupted had an incredible female singer some years ago

Just off the top of my head, probably forgot a lot of great bands.

I’m convinced the best solution to this problem would be to rename vaccines to something completely different and brand it as a natural remedy that the establishment is fiercely against. “A natural therapy that strengthens and heals your immune system. Ancient asian medicine rediscovered. Witches were burned at the stake in mediaeval Europe for treating people with it.”

I mean, I agree with you, but this is also a huge problem. This is why you have someone who pretended to be a successful businessman on TV as a president now. I really miss the days when boring but competent people could run a country.

I remember listening to Nevermind for probably the first time while playing computer games. I thought the CD (new technology for me at the time) had broken and started chewing the disc like an old tape

And with locked grooves, metal machine music for instance has a loop on the innermost groove on side D so it can be played infinitely. There’s also records with only loops made with locked grooves.

One band pressed the sound of a C64 BASIC program onto vinyl that could be recorded onto tape and loaded with the c64 tape deck. All sorts of shenanigans.

Everybody I’ve spoken to

It must be so rare that this man encounters an expert on anything these days, at least that is not in an adversarial position towards him.

I assume your question was rhetorical, but these people have no fixed principles or commitment to truth. They don’t want free trade for everyone, just no regulations for them.

A weird little detail in all this madness is that “Doge” as in an italian renaissance leader is related to the word “Duce” so I guess “Il Doge” would fit Muskolini perfectly?

Yes, but they’re great for propaganda. This administration can both place themselves in power and be anti-establishment at the same time.
