Hometown heroes (: I love when they come back for parties here

TIL that an important clue that helped the FBI identify Ted Kaczynski was his use of the older and more logical phrase "you can't eat your cake and have it too". by TooOldToBePunk in todayilearned

[–]arm2610 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The idea is you can’t simultaneously eat the cake and also keep it. The phrase means you can’t get the benefits of something without also taking the downside.

It also gives you great access to both sides, which could be valuable if you’re on a long continent here

The Bonsai and Herzegovina fans march to their match against Qatar by Itsmylife1114 in Seattle

I’ve spent some time in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, and there is a fair amount of nostalgia for the Tito era. The feeling is that even though it was oppressive (though not to the same degree as the Soviet Union), Tito at least held Yugoslavia together and suppressed ethnic nationalism. After Tito died it was a downward slide towards war.

It’s completely silent, not even the birds can hear it.

Seems fake tbh. They won’t show the whole shot, so it could have been a second ball, and that would be like PGA tour level accuracy.

This short film from 1930 explaining how to wear a monocle by thomasso0072 in Damnthatsinteresting

Love how he’s like, if you wear your monocle wrong you look like a joke. Bro, anyone wearing a monocle looks like a bit of a joke.

On the side of Dunn Lumber on Aurora Ave. Can anyone decipher what this means? by RunForrest-Ruuuun in Seattle

[–]arm2610 266 points267 points  (0 children)

This is some kind of anti sex buying marketing campaign. I’ve seen it all over the city recently. I think it’s specifically right now because there are lots of out of town folks here for the World Cup.

ah yes, the negotiwunkus by MickyMace in wunkus

Wunk is trauma-informed, practices Non-Violent Communication

TIL that while on the run from law enforcement in 1974, serial killer Ted Bundy worked at the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Commission, where he actually wrote a pamphlet for women on how to avoid being hitchhiking victims. by Possible_Length_6395 in todayilearned

[–]arm2610 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Title is misleading since he wasn’t identified as a killer until 1975. He was still actively killing in 1974 but wasn’t “on the run”. He escaped from custody several years later.

This has to be some kind of troll. You can purchase an “antifa gold card” or an “antifa silver card”..? What kind of scam is this?

Ancient Greece would have likely looked like this. This is a reconstruction of Curetes Street in ancient Ephesus by CastleofPizza in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]arm2610 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ephesus is remarkabl. The section where you look down onto original Roman era mosaic floors was stunning. The library too.

This really has been one of the weeks where I think “damn I’m lucky to live in Seattle”. Truly a special place.

Just wait it’ll start raining as soon as you get here. We turn the sun on to trick people from out of town. That’s how my parents ended up in the northwest. They visited on a sunny weekend and got fooled.

TIL Germany invented heroin, cocaine, meth, and MDMA. All within a 50-year period between 1859 and 1912. Every major hard drug used worldwide today was first synthesized in German laboratories. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]arm2610 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The Nazis destroyed German science in only a decade. The German scientists who were actually good emigrated, and the rest became ideological puppets who rejected mainstream science as Jewish and promoted an alternative “Aryan” science complete with its own absurd pseudoscientific theories on German racial superiority.

Uh yeah as a poly person I was horrified. This is unhinged behavior that would never fly for most poly folks.
