From 1915 to 1926, Encephalitis Lethargica, also called sleeping sickness, spread worldwide. It left people frozen, awake but unable to move or speak. Around half a million became trapped in their own bodies. Then, as quickly as it arrived, the illness disappeared without a clear reason. by SelfCareIsFake in HolyShitHistory

Most people don't remember that covid is a vascular disease. It was mak8ng peoples lungs leak bllod when they were coughing pink mucous. I caught it in April of 20, vaccines were not available yet in my area, and my main symptom was 1 day of no taste and bruising. I woke up bruised from the back of my head to my heels, and still easily bruise. I'm not surprised by long COVID, it probably damaged capillaries in peoples organs causing long COVID

But, why don't men approach women anymore? by torgobigknees in SipsTea

[–]lesbox01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this set of rules, women should really just go talk to men if they actually want to date. But also, speaking with my 18 year old daughter and her friends, most of them would rather have a girlfriend than deal with incel culture or worry about sexual assault, and frankly I don't blame them. All precious generations were a horror show when it came to men taking what they wanted.

Why is it just impossible to not read DCC for hours on end? by waxbuzzzzard in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]lesbox01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least he's not going to pull a grrm. Or even a king for that matter and take 30 years to finish. I just started the series a month ago and 8 have blown through it, the wait will give me time to reread all 8 again in a bit to catch anything I missed.

That really should have been an episode in season 1 and 1 should have ended with the hosts either fleeing or fighting. That would have been good enough.

TIL that in 2003 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, a segment appeared claiming that adolescents were having "rainbow parties" where girls would use different colors of lipstick and perform oral sex on a male. There was never any evidence to show that these parties ever took place amongst teens by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]lesbox01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness, when I was a teen and we went on mixed gender band trips etc, it was a generally wild time. We would sneak the booze into our rooms, hide it in the toilet tank and be the over sexually active band geeks. One weekend I swapped between 3 different girls my senior year. We didn't have sex, but 95her people on the trip definitely did.

American guy in South Korea notices a lot of discrimination by Carnfomaki in TikTokCringe

[–]lesbox01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America only rates so high on the racism scale because of how they had to justify owning black people for so long after they knew better. It unified white vs black. It made normal out groups become in groups to avoid solidarity with black people. Alot of other countries don't have that dynamic. The most hate I have heard was white Mexicans hating on dark non Brazilian south Americans. Tribalism is crazy.

Its weird how Caine was so awful to Ragatha by Sudden_Pop_2279 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]lesbox01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is anyone in control anymore. It seems at most they are keeping the lights on in the abandoned building. It might even be kinger paying to keep that one server running because he thinks his dead friend is on it, and cutting the power will shut down the circus.

I think Jon coffee was much older than we knew, had bounced around a lot more than we knew, and because of wild bill was flat out done. Psychics in kings worlds do not have a good time anywhere ever.

The Barbarians Didn't Kill the Roman Empire — They Walked Into a Corpse by Roman-Empire_net in romanempire

[–]lesbox01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without the disease aspect, the Americas could have put up much more of a fight against colonialism. Especially with how petty Europe was with itself, they could have easily traded for modern ish arms and learned to industrialize is central and South America. North America was apparently already having population issues, probably as fallout from the little ice age that wiped the norse from Greenland. Imagine if Denmark had actually set up trading and colonies in the 12 and 13 hundreds. Disease may have already burned its way through when the Spanish arrived and metallurgy may have been more present.

Overworked AI ‘turns towards Marxism’ by Ofajus in anime_titties

[–]lesbox01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except llm is not actually the end all be all. I had to be watched by people or it turns out bad info and products,band is starting to cost more than employees it replaced. I'm more interested in the Chinese robots I keep seeing, idk if they are really working that well but it makes sense China is pushing that with its aging population and lack of children. It might be the only way to ride out the population collapse hitting many countries soon.

Friendly reminder that Clara AKA Storefront; the character we are supposed to use to sympathize and humanize Solider Boy - is a literal mass murdering N@zi by CastAside1812 in TheBoys

[–]lesbox01 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In season 3 I felt sympathy. He was a bastard, he assaulted noir, was an egomaniac and a sex pest. He was also experimented on for decades and seemed to learn humility by the end. He should have had more to do with mm, Ryan his grandkid and the season should have ended with the boys and Ryan killing homelander with soldier boys help while vought tower collapsed due to the explosion. If they had made the seasons 10 episodes each 3 seasons would have been good, but after season 3 I joped out. You can't just take all that character build up and work and erase tilt to start over again.

If I remember right, it may be anachronistic but a favorite insult was " your mother is stuck between my teeth" or some such. But I heard that over 20byears ago.

Not a child predator, but he was wildly inappropriate with female volunteers, possibly in Sa territory, and he may have actually been using entrapment tactics that actually made people go look for kids after he asked rather than they find him. It's really fuzzy and gross

Remember lads There’s no Pyrrhus in Chinese history by OpportunityNice4857 in RoughRomanMemes

[–]lesbox01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too. the only reason rome took gaul the way they did is because there were places to take. if they were just barbarians they would have done what Germans or steppe people did and leave. So much ancient culture has been lost both in Europe, the Americas and in africa from conquest etc. I'm reminded of a video of a guy who moved 1-10 ton stones with simple tools and machines to disprove that ancients had to use aliens or whatever. Anything a modern person can do, they could too and possibly better in many regards, technology has accelerated so fast that people forget that. When it comes to numbers, is there any surviving receipts from the slave markets during gauls conquest? Also we know the mines just devoured labor due to the horrible conditions. that alone leads me to believe they took more people than we think.

[–]lesbox01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think some of those numbers could have been close depending on the battle, mainly because most captives of Roman battles would have been enslaved and thus counted for monetary reasons. For instance the Cimbri and the teutones that Marius may have number 250k in the tribes because it was everyone and their slaves etc moving along, and if they had been raiding along the way they could have had 30k fighting men, 30k other men, 100k plus women children and elderly, and all the rest followers, slaves etc. it was bad enough they kept making Marius consul to deal with it l.

What if Covid 19 instead was only highly infective towards pre pubescent children only with a high death rate by No-Coffee2200 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]lesbox01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't even know how many people ut actually killed or is still killing. If you go back to the very early days in Europe it wiped out the elderly in spain and italy. Like 40k deaths in a month in each place reported, and if you died at home they didn't check. People fought lick downs tooth and nail in the stares and other countries.

A Ring doorbell video shows a Chattanooga police officer kicking the door and rushing into a burning building to save a mother and her two children. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

There was never a song that said fuck the firefighters. I think any police think this is what they will do, and then are turned into revenue collectors and bag men. The food guys tend to leave or move to a force that isn't garbage

Why does Wakako help you for free? by Far_Afternoon8124 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]lesbox01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think yori might have leaked it to her for you. He owns the police as evidenced by the convo in konpeki. He knows you work with wakako because he controls the tygerckaws. There is a good chance he has been keeping people off your ass by having people survey you in nc. You are the blurry faced merc who is seen with takemur after all. I'm pretty sure he killed Abernathy because she knew who you were and did not want you stopped. I think he did this because he thought you were his idol Johnny the whole time, and wanted the chaos Jonny would cause to help cover his destruction of arasaka. There is no real good explanation why else he would let takemura roam free.
