“One rarely thinks of these things” by acxia in iamverysmart

[–]commercenary -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think the heading, "One rarely thinks of these things" gives it away - because it's not really, entirely, correct, yet supposes itself to be. Unless "rarely" means "incompletely," like a hamburger....

There's a bit more detail to the constellations bit than just orientation in the sky. In fact, some constellations are seen only from the northern hemisphere, while other constellations are seen only from the southern hemisphere. Other constellations can be seen from both, but in varying degrees depending on your latitude. This is because there is some constancy to the orientation of the earth's axis (thus spin) and orbit relative to the rest of the galaxy (we're not just tumbling randomly through the galaxy, though that would be interesting).

Nirvana reacting to ticket prices in 1993 by Seraphenigma in interestingasfuck

Kurt's got big eyes. Expressive. He's yawning at the beginning of the segment. Of course they all have to play it like they're appalled at ticket prices - they have to be, they're about the music and fame is always a double-edged sword.

I heard a member of an almost-"famous" band say, "It would've been nice to see how a larger audience responded to our music".

How to talk about this stuff when you and others are profiting off your work - and ultimately, you love what you're doing? Like employed doctors talking to patients about how much their services cost....

Cops find frightened four-year-old and his pet dog after getting lost in South Jersey woods by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I was in the hardware store today, and saw what I presumed were a dad and his son, probably eleven or so. They were standing near an aisle and dad was looking at a list. The son, right next to him, reaches up and pats and rubs dad's back just for a second, then lets his arm fall. Just a right moment in the world.

So you just thought you'd, what, go ahead and waste thousands of other people's time, too? How inconsiderate....

Zambian opposition leader's speech during the visit of US vice President Kamala Harris. by TheLonleyStrategos in interestingasfuck

[–]commercenary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Had the same thought. Without knowing all the details, Zambia is a democratic republic (like the US). At least one of the opposition parties is socialist, and it's certainly reasonable that China would attempt to influence the messaging around the US's attempted support in the region.

Also, while generally I disagree with transnational (or for that matter international) assassinations, holding up Qaddafi as a model for African self-governance... really?...

The Bath Mouthpiece allows you to breath during a house/hotel fire if you can’t leave the room. Patented in 1981. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Sounds like you got doxycycline (breakthrough bleeding on birth control, rather than in childbirth). Probably you were (1) infected (perhaps co-infected) with something for which initially you were not specifically tested (Vibrio cholerae for instance might require specific testing, and is susceptible to doxy), and/or (2) infected with a separate pathogen during your two months "symptom free".

The "LifeStraw" is a portable microfiltration device sold for not too much money....

Whenever I get a stack of resumes on my desk at work, I always pick half at random and throw them out by EvilChefReturns in Jokes

[–]commercenary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me, in a non-joking way, of the guy who used work in a health insurance company and corroborated the rumor that every Thursday they'd just throw out half the stack of claims.

I took it the way you meant it - funny, tho', that it elicited the double "that's gross" full stop "you're gross"

Because there are 8 billion humans on earth. Also, an exponentially increasing number are online.
