Hamas didn’t just appear one day. It was an attempt by Palestinians to take control of their own destinies.

They are the least liberal generation since they grew up surrounded by the failings of liberalism. They are either hardline conservatives or leftists. Very few fall between those camps

Tony Hawk is the best Gen Xer, and dude’s chill AF.

KCK is pit while Johnson county is WASP Central. Jackson County was for cool kids. We also love meth, but are chill about it

Butter comes in sticks that are 1/2 cup. So half a stick is 1/4 a cup

Reminds me of this classic

Have you never read a single thing of print media ever? Books, newspapers, and magazines have been hyphenating words to keep uniform blocks of text for over 5 centuries

Dude isn’t an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn’t be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say “yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law”

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.

Even the rural college town my grandma grew up in had tram lines running down the main streets in the 30’s and to both colleges. If a city had more than 20,000 residents 100 years ago, they probably had a tram system that was pulled up at GM’s behest.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

Syntax is for nerds. I prefer a vibes based language.

At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn’t have a game to show for it.

Don’t mind me. I’m jist digging through my post history to give a big fat “I told you so” to all the liberals on Lemmy.

Until i got my kitten this month, ot sometimes felt like the only thing keeping me going was the fact that Lady Gaga is going to be in the new Joker movie and then releasing a new album at the end of the year. Shit is absolutely bleak, right now. And while i love my parents, I am not exaggerating when i saw i would rather kill myself than move in with them in a Houston suburb i have zero connection to, 800 miles away from my entire social group. It’s an absolutely fucked up parasocial relationship that i have developed over the past 14 years, but it’s basically all I have to cling onto at this point. I’m sure that a lot of you are barely hanging on as well, but whatever it is that’s keeping you going is absolutely worth it.

Here’s my cat tax. I’ve always been a dog person, but circumstances brought her into my life and now she is pretty much my everything.

I get that, and i also understand that English shifted it’s vowels compared to similar languages. But aside from French, my American brain can kinda figure out how to pronounce Germanic and Romance languages, whereas languages such as Welsh and Polish seems to have applied completely different rules to the Latin alphabet than everyone else.

I love the Welsh, but holy shit that’s not what those letters are supposed to be for. They and the Irish just made a bunch of shit up when they started to standardize spelling. It makes me understand how Russians feel when Westerners use Cyrillic letters improperly.

You must not live in North America, because house cats are about half thr diet of coyotes in the US and Canada.

Where do you think we got the idea from?

Kate Sackhoff said she really enjoyed the challenge of Bo Katan in season 3 of the Mandalorian for the same reason. Portraying emotions through body language and inflection alone is such a different experience for actors and it takes real talent to pull it off.
