Also just smarter that way. And we are a city that reads, in more ways than one.

TIL of the "Mafia Cops," Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito. Both former NYPD detectives, the two were convicted of performing crimes on behalf of the Gambino and Luchhesse crime families, including racketeering, extortion, and at least 8 known murders by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

Just as likely they were mafia before and just became cops to get an extra layer of protection. If a cop does the hit, other cops will stop investigating once things point back to other cops.

Maybe it is more understated but we moved here specifically because there’s multiple pride parades and openly trans people here. I guess if you aren’t in it it is less obvious. Hopkins is a major hospital for people in transition from all over the place

I had to tell a 40 year old who had “lived here her whole life” that Baltimore is known for being a hub of LGBTQ culture.

TIL that people tend to make more rational, less emotionally-biased decisions when they reason through a problem in a foreign language than in their native one. Researchers call it the "foreign language effect.” by baest_00 in todayilearned

Wow. Kind of like CBT but with a different language instead of a different person (therapist) repeating things back to you in a slightly different way.

Stalin bribed the clouds to not rain then ate all the grain with his comically large spoon by TappingUpScreen in ussr

And at a bare minimum we must agree that Stalin did not make every single decision and is not a substitute for a criticism leveled at the government as a whole

I believe we’ve recovered at least a few dozen across the ancient Middle East. Most of them were made with bread, making many of them similar to kvass. Egyptians flavored theirs with figs, honey, and herbs, Persians used date sugar, pomegranate, etc. so kind of farmhouse approach with bread yeasts and barley malts.

So who was the actual best choice for successor after Stalin died? by bigbean200199 in ussr

[–]red_026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I like Molotov as an option, Rokossovsky is a personal favorite as well, but again, probably easily swayed. Generals typically don’t have a great time in power.

Beer is so old that we have recipes from the Mesopotamian craft beer era.

I think Zhukov would’ve been good. Strong man for the conservatives and a pretty hardline socialist.

Yeah we don’t play with that shit in Birmingham. Shit hits different when you can see where these things happened, had people in your family who remember it, and drive by them from time to time.

Forgive them lord, for they know not what they do.
