Adios and adieu also both refer to god; I’m sure other Romance languages say goodbye similarly but I don’t know Italian or Romanian or whatever

Doesn’t work if, like in my line of work, you have to cite specific locations in each paper for data verification. Sci-hub is your friend, when it works

He’s one of those kooks who drank colloidal silver and developed argyria

Prob. big into Ron Paul and chiropractic

Absence of an inner monologue does not mean that there is no thought process. I’ve done just fine without one myself. Can’t speak to whatever is plaguing the fundamentalists apart from indoctrination and being steeped in an oppressive culture that’s been fostered over generations.

Give it a few years, they’ll be picking it up in middle school at least

My daughter has been scoring very high in math this year in fifth grade so they wanted to give her more advanced stuff to do, like moving into basic statistics. She isn’t having any of it though, she hates math and gets terrible anxiety from it. She just wants to sculpt and make puppets instead. Can’t say I blame her, I was the same way.

…yet I’d cherish a job where I’d just spend all day futzing around in R

The Onion’s TED parodies capture this dumb shit perfectly

It just dropped the canister with the Metroid hatchling

Hell yeah.

Pokémon: [day one] I wanna be the best Pokémon trainer the world has ever seen! [20 seasons later] Wow I got another gym badge! Pikachu is pretty decent!

Digimon: [day one] Oh this poor kitten, gotta save it from these big jerks! [end of season] Today, we must destroy God.

Conscience and consciousness are not the same thing

I deleted my Reddit account and have not gone back. That said, I’m not particularly fond of Lemmy either. I’ve found… maybe? two communities here of interest that may have migrated from Reddit and they aren’t even active; and even as a socialist, the politics are tiresome and pervasive.

Aside from fascists getting the smacking around that they deserve, the one thing that’s nice is that there are far fewer cringey “yay lemmy is the best isn’t it guys” circlejerk posts now than there were back then. I don’t spend nearly as much time on here as I did on Reddit, so that’s a plus.

Ehh, it stops being fun when you see your dreams crushed so thoroughly and so repeatedly. I do not miss academia, the little bit of time I spent in it.

You could easily fuck it up more. Like, shoot in the opposite direction, or shoot for the sun. Hell, you could just blow the rocket up altogether. Guys, it’s so easy to fuck it up waaayyy more.

Like he even read the response

It’s free-based

“Communes”, populated by “commies”?

I’m not old enough to have published zines but I am old enough to know what they were, and I think it is actually a pretty apt name for it

Psh, nice shameless plug for your community bro

…to which I’ll subscribe as soon as I can

I’m honestly shocked at how soon the sapient insects displaced humanity and subjugated what remained. Here’s a hint: the second digit in the year I visited is still a zero

I think it might be, the first time I’d heard it was in reference to Jimmy Savile after his death

Nah, I see cop as an option. More likely than astronaut, actually.

But most of all, I see him becoming a “professional YouTuber” of the “rant from the cab of a pickup truck wearing a baseball cap and wearing oakleys” genre, before going out and attempting to kidnap a politician at gunpoint. It’s one of those nominative determinism things, for sure.
