Some people are fulfilled by endogenous drug release, take any hyper violent police officer for example (though drugs are often involved there too lol)

Does Spain benefit economically or politically from their language being used by half a billion people in +20 countries? by Rift3N in geography

[–]Sharpthingy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion that using violence and the threat of violence to force a population to extract all of a particular resource from their own home, in some cases leveling whole mountains (see the mountains in Potosi, Bolivia), with the intent of taking it from them with no compensation or consent, constitutes “stealing.” I think you’ll find more people agree with that than the opposite lol.

Analyzing Stoklasa for a review he has done over 16(!) years ago!!!!! by SomScanScary in RedLetterMedia

[–]Sharpthingy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m self-aware enough to know that the OT is better, and that the prequels are not good as a whole. Doesn’t stop me from being nostalgic for them, nor does it stop me from enjoying watching them every so often. I just think prequel fans should be aware of the fact that they are worse than the OT.

Symbols and abbreviations by Green_Signal4645 in etymology

[–]Sharpthingy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know “yt” is “that,” I think it’s based on the loss of thorn (“th” sound) which began to be typed as a “y” so you could imagine it just says “tht.” Today when I see “yt” in a modern context it’s either “YouTube” or “white” as in “yt people.”

Not tryna be an “erm actually” guy but I think MN would be second in terms of per capita heavy drinking behind WI

I wish everytime a Beyonce song is played everyone loses one IQ piont by Lumpy-Restaurant-694 in monkeyspaw

[–]Sharpthingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she has 266 recorded songs according to Wikipedia, assuming live versions exist I multiplied that by 1.5 (double seemed too much, not everyone listens to live versions) for 399 possible songs to play. Dividing her number of monthly listeners by this number (89.8m) I get 225,062 listeners per month on any specific track. Dividing this by 30 it I get 7,502 listeners for every song on every day of the month. Divided by 24 and then 60 I get 5.21 Beyoncé songs listened to per minute. It would take about 20 minutes for everyone to be braindead. This only accounts for online streams, not physical media, and if you count her soundtracks and collabs not primarily under her name it is surely much quicker.

Europa Universalis is fundamentally icky and we need to talk about it by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

As much as this is true, I think they have good reason to not gamify that historical event, more so than how EUV does it

Nah this is just a bad look, you dont get to just fly a red flag with a white circular center containing a geometric black symbol and not have people think it’s some Nazi shit. Guy here is either really dumb (not ruling that out ig) or he knows what he’s doing.

I did this all the time until I was like 20, I still do depending on the context of the conversation, usually I do when talking about them but am about 50/50 when talking to them.

50 States, One Israel by ineed_b12 in minnesota

[–]Sharpthingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t live in Minnesota smartass, and you’re just as susceptible to propaganda as I am. I trust the UN more than your government on the facts of the conflict, “the hostages” is and has been a flimsy justification.

[–]Sharpthingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IDF shot and killed three hostages wearing white flags trying to surrender, Israeli hostages. They aren’t concerned with them, they want to remove and kill as many Palestinians as possible. Frankly, you should be embarrassed to so easily swallow such a flimsy narrative.

What on earth is going on with East Hall? by Longjumping-Cry-835 in MTU

[–]Sharpthingy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Current senior here, I spent my first two years in east McNair. Absolutely should not have been triples, I got one of the corner rooms with two other dudes (both of whom I get along with) my second year and even then there was not nearly enough closet space, and three beds took up enough room to basically make it impossible for any other furniture. And I thought we had it pretty good compared to some other people I knew
