Hunting down Catholic priests
Hunting down Catholic priests
Turns out they were basically bounty hunters for Catholic priests during Elizabeth I’s reign.
“Really? How about dying for it?”
What’s the old lingers?
Make them open and close in a circular pattern like a camera aperture and I’m in
I had heard the servitor story before but forgot where it was sourced. Do you happen to remember which book it came from?
If we find people who regret it, do we then need to ban it? Is there a certain threshold of regretful people we need to meet?
Do you expect a lot of people to regret something that happened to them before they were capable of forming memories?
A majority of Americans want stricter gun laws, and that’s been consistent for quite a few years.
We also have a dysfunctional political system that prevents popular ideas from getting anywhere, but we’re not really unique in that I suppose.
I just don’t understand how Apple, a company known for their sleek, elegant design aesthetics above all else, put their name on something that looks so dorky
Ultimately, it’s selecting for crabs. Crabs are perfection. There is no escaping carcinization.
Yep. The indie boom that PC gaming experienced would not have been possible without early access funding, full stop.
Not every early access title has gone perfectly and there are some studios that have gamed the system.
Still, the stuff that managed to make it through the process and become successful has been some of the only stuff saving us from a live service hellscape
I’d argue that debates aren’t useful without a neutral, mutually trusted media source that listeners from both sides would refer to for fact-checking. The US has debates but the soundbites that partisan media air are the main way people consume them. Few people watch the whole debate, and few want to because they’re mostly just hot air.
Plus, one candidate can use the debate to lie out of their ass and at least one media source will follow that up by spitting out misleading info to support the lies.
I don’t mean to both-sides this, obviously right wing media is more egregious on this front. But their captured audience tuning out fact-checks from other media is maybe the bigger problem.
All of this happening on the sidelines fundamentally alters the purpose of a debate. For example, changing the tone and style of interaction; people aren’t trying to come to an agreement or win over new supporters, just shout over someone to get in soundbites that can be replayed by their team.
Yeah that’s the irony, Texas wouldn’t even need to secede to fuck up its power grid.
Fun fact, there are 3 major power grids in the lower 48 united states’: the Eastern Interconnection, Western Interconnection, and Texas.
Dragon’s breath is a pretty common name for incense scents, but it seems to vary a bit between different brands. The only common ingredient I saw was that most of them have musk or “white musk”
Vote in the primaries. Vote for the winner who’s least fascist. Yell at them. A lot. Activism in the streets, calling your representative about pending legislation. Donations to organizing groups you agree with There are multiple stages of the process you can get involved with. 1 vote every 4 years is not enough
General strike/protest? Get enough people making noise on the street and people will have to listen. With a presidential election coming up, Dems won’t be able to fully ignore it either.
In all of Vietnam there are currently two active metro lines, one of which is only partially complete.
I hope it improves. Many lines are under construction but all of the projects have been plagued by delays for years.
But why would you include this as an example here?
It takes mental effort to defend a group, or to engage in good faith discussion at all, really. People tend to pick up on key buzzwords that get thrown around a lot by certain groups and use those to gauge whether the discussion is going to be worth continuing. Concern-trolling and “I’m just asking questions” is quite common in these contexts, so both sides do this, to be honest.
Is making art with the rain an option?
Sand darkens when wet so that could make a cool canvas, theoretically.
You could also play with that “wall of rain” effect you sometimes see when you are just outside of a heavy rain area.
Alternatively, just make “social commentary” like a torrential downpour on the financial district. Sometimes art is just revenge.
