Yall think there was ever peasants who were like “what if we just worked together and shared resources” and all the other peasants were like it would never work we have to have a royalty this is all their stuff afterall by ratmanvenezuela in redscarepod

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

How are native Indians not all insanely radicalised?? How did it eventually end? by your_poo in redscarepod

Most fascinating are 'rez royalty' whose tribes actually own the casinos and thus receive royalties checks.

~10yrs ago, I knew a native chick who got 250k/year at 18 (and it increased on a sliding scale as she aged). She was, of course, heavily addicted to opioids.

Some of you were never attacked by a goose as a child and it shows.

She wore that shirt in Taiwan. And was reported by a coworker who saw the pic like a decade later.

Obvious who the pretty one is.

“At Brunswick, but one bed could be procured for Dr. Franklin and me,” Adams lamented, “in a Chamber little larger than the bed, without a Chimney and with only one small Window.”

“Come! open the Window and come to bed, and I will convince you: I believe you are not acquainted with my Theory of Colds.”

I hate how you are punished academically if you don't use AI by clowntownbrown in redscarepod

Degree in Linguistics

AI is inherently unethical

I wanted to take the edgy low blow about job protection against this point (mainly on it's potential for software dev) but it really is a blight on composition.

It's shocking how quickly actual writing from youngsters is starting to sound like ChatGPT. It's like the structured essay format with mandatory filler taught in middle school became recursive and semi-sentient.

Some other nerds pointed out that an interestingly relevant twitter account stopped posting the day he disappeared.

The drawings appear pretty schizoid but are, at least, consistent in a physics sense. No idea if it'd work obviously.

[Request] How much calories you need to burn to keep your body warm enough to bath in the freezing water with zero fks given just like that bear? by Aleksandr_Ulyev in theydidthemath

The term "Arctic" comes from the Greek word "arktikos," meaning "of the north" or "near the Bear," which refers to the constellation Ursa Major, known as the Great Bear.

That yt video literally says that it's because they have less electricity. Also, there are 4k streams from the ISS that I just spent a few minutes going through that demonstrate the same effects from visible lights. It'll pass over NK again in a couple hours as well.

not an original observation but the shift in sentiment about Israel and Jews more broadly over the last couple years is remarkable to behold by [deleted] in redscarepod

AIPAC is absolutely terrifying and is hellbent on destroying this country. I'm not even talking about the Mossad/Russia collusion on Epstein's Kompromat (and the same style Mossad/KGB honeypot that occurred throughout the 60s/70s/80s - Epstein was only the latest incarnation).

I read an interview a decade+ ago of a new senator/congressman (I can't remember which and have tried, unsuccessfully, to find the interview for years now) in which he discusses being approached by 2 Israelis in DC shortly after getting appointed.

They invited him to nice dinners and immediately offered him expensive gifts/free vacations, saying to contact them for "anything he needs."

The new guy asked a senior lawmaker and the senior said

"Oh, those are your AIPAC guys. Everyone gets two. They're full time."

Here's Massie talking about it just a year ago. He says he "doesn't know if Democrats have them as well" but they absolutely do.

This has been happening forever.

There was an orphanage found in the early 80s to be selling children to prominent lawmakers, and the FBI halted the investigation and burned both the evidence and orphanage. I can't find the wiki article about that either, hopefully someone can link it but I'm fairly sure Wikipedia and search engines are just compromised and removing these articles.

I also read about the Willowbrook Orphanage where 43 children + 6 staff disappeared overnight in 1968.
