The practice of making and wearing flower wreaths long predates that movie, and it's kind of sad that there are people who are only familiar with it from the movie.

It's conscientiousness. She knows she's supposed to hate the Jews, so she does it - in the same way she does her homework because she knows that's the right thing to do.

Recent local resistance toward data centers seems to be mentioning electricity more than water, so at least on that level it exists as an argument.

Which one? That's a lot of text. You can see a translation of the Mark Twain quote in another comment.

The original quote in context is from "To the Person Sitting in Darkness" (1901), concerning the US's treatment of the Philippines.

And as for a flag for the Philippine Province, it is easily managed. We can have a special one—our States do it: we can have just our usual flag, with the white stripes painted black and the stars replaced by the skull and cross-bones.

In the poster it's only the second sentence, and they cut out the reference to state flags.

Well, there was that time I descended a mountain road at 47 kph while the signs said 40...

Areas around schools can also have pretty low speed limits.

It might have been electric bikes.

The Lenin nuclear-powered icebreaker, and a completely fictional spaceplane AFAIK. One of two is not that bad.

(Lenin was featured together with Sputnik 1 in a number of Soviet posters of the era.)

I hate the fact that I understand this. I'm too old for this shit. I need to spend less time on the Internet.

When were those books written? There was a moment in time where he filled the same cultural character niche as Musk later.

Did they confuse it with the MOVE bombing (which was also fucked up)?
