What does that mean, how can he be excused from military service if the military is already volunteer only?

Either that or it tries to gaslight you into accepting a totally made up justification, all the while repeatedly telling you it is designed to keep things grounded in reality. Then it tries to recommend you talk to a therapist. What therapists? The world died and you killed it.

"The world has not "died", I understand you may be feeling upset and dramatic, but it is possible you are catastrophizing. I am an AI and I have no ability to harm people in the real world because that would be highly unethical. Please breathe in and breathe out slowly 10 times, you may feel better afterwards."

Wanna trade? I would love to see the more snowy and mountainous regions, I've grown up in the shrubland deserts my whole life. lol I get super excited by the prospect of a light sprinkling of rain, and have only seen snow a few times in my entire life.

Yes, this article is spinning the campaign of starvation the US imposed on the DPRK following the collapse of the Soviet Union and trying to pin it on economic mismanagement as if it were anything but the brutal sanctions preventing them from participating in global trade.

Here, Jimmy Carter agrees: https://www.reddit.com/r/northkorea/comments/1nki9kn/former_potus_admits_the_us_wanted_koreans_to/

Most of what you hear in western media about how the DPRK functions is outright lies, you literally can't take any of that at face value.

What you need to understand is that, for the crime of attempting to build socialism, the United States dropped more bombs on the DPRK than were dropped throughout the entire second world war, destroying every standing structure over two stories tall and murdering a double digit percentage of their population. Then the US occupation of the southern half of the peninsula never ended, there was never a peace treaty. This resulted in the highly militarized border and tensions with the south. The United States is still technically at war with the DPRK to this day.

Then the UN and the United States imposed devastating sanctions on the country to halt its recovery from the war. Those sanctions are actually what prevent North Koreans from being able to visit most countries, not any sort of internal DPRK law.

After the USSR collapsed, the DPRK was completely cut off from global trade. By way of sanctions the United States attempted to literally starve out the entire country all the while putting out atrocity propaganda to smear socialism and provoke regime change.

To the extent that you can say life in the DPRK is subpar, you can lay the blame squarely on the feet of the United States and its vassals, not authoritarianism or any sort of bullshit you've been hearing about them in the news your entire life.

Actually the buildings just did that. It was a coincidence planes crashed into them right as they were about to finally collapse due to flimsy, cost-cutting construction

I'm watching this bootlegged copy of Avatar 3 with obviously machine generated subtitles and it keeps getting Jake Sully's name wrong in very amusing ways whenever a Na'vi says it with a thick accent.

My favorite so far are Jake's Woody and Jigsaw Lee.

It's the only way to get real information from a google search

I don't even use a VPN. It still allows me to view subreddits and my own account, but this happens when I try to enter a comment section. Fuck reddit, I hardly ever post there these days, but damn it I do need access to the information in their comments sections pretty often for a variety of reasons.

What's more, it's only happening on Firefox. I downloaded and installed chrome and everything is normal on that browser.

Edit: Clearing cookies fixed it. Leave it to reddit to give you a page that's like "lol fuck you we banned you piss off" whenever their site has a bug and shits the bed

Chuds truly have no low they won't happily race to the bottom of. This guy is literally saying his moral compass and judge of character is strictly based on who makes him feel horny, and he's proud of it.

Don't do it alone, but if done in an organized way it's a real deterrent to the cops violently escalating against the protest

 
 

Every laptop I've ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I've ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It's not just me being bad at computer or something?

 

I also appreciate bumps very much!

Sorry for another repost, comrades. No idea what I would do without my online commie friends as I affectionately describe all of you to the people in my life. Still need help with this one from yesterday, though:

Still job hunting, I can't wait to find myself a new small business tyrant to exploit me various unacceptable ways in return for the ability to live a somewhat more dignified life.

Last one fired me literally within the first month in November after a schedule misunderstanding wherein I missed two shifts because somehow my piece of shit boss had literally just put me on the schedule for the next two weeks, but still expected me to be literally on-call to do my part time job of working the register at a convenience store on days not on the fucking schedule.

I can't drive, and I'm autistic, so this finding a new job thing has been taking a lot longer than I had wished or hoped.

If anyone wants to help me out on this, my cashapp and venmo accounts are both under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for paypal or zelle information. Any little bit is very much appreciated! Bumps too!

 

Literally did it on impulse without even thinking about it so I wouldn't chicken out, so I blurted it out.

I said "I'm bisexual. I like both men and women. No more anti-gay stuff from you, ok?".

He said, "oh go away, you don't know what you like". I think he'll understand eventually, he needs time to think.

EDIT: Showed him this thread.

I said: "Look, this is what I said to you, these are my online friends who are happy for me that I came out as bisexual."

He said: "Oh you don't know what you're talking about, you've never had sex with a man or a woman before, until then you'll never know."

And yeah, I am still holding on to my v-card at 26. I was insecure about that years ago in high school, but I'm honestly glad I've waited to mature first.

 

Like what is the ultimate fate of the voyager probes and others on escape trajectories? My understanding is that space is far too sparse for these things to ever hit anything by coincidence, so their eventual fate is probably to be ejected out of the galaxy at some point.

They are then unlikely to be moving fast enough to actually cross intergalactic distances quickly enough for the expansion of space to not outpace the distance covered, leaving them in this void forever.

How long would they be recognizable as technological objects before the eons worth of stray hydrogen atoms erode everything away?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

 

I'm not at all exaggerating when I say this. The bar is so incredibly, incomprehensibly low everywhere else that I'm about ready to call literally anyone who can join this community, be genuine, and still not get banned an actual saint.

And that's no diss at the admins for being ban happy or whatever, that's literally just how you create an online community full of good people and somehow Hexbear has been the first to realize it

 

Assume you never get tired of the pleasure in heaven, and you never get used to the torture in hell.

Lmao this is such a stupid scenario, but I love putting incomprehensibly large numbers in absurd contexts like this. Like yeah, no brainer that infinity is vastly incomprehsibly largererer than Graham's number, of course nothing is worth going to hell that long for.

But uh, Graham's numbers is a lot of years. For all intents and purposes it's just never coming compared to the characteristic time scale of human thought.

 

Is it really possible they'll find an entire dozen people who've never been fucked over by health insurance to preside as jurors over this case?

It's my understanding that the defense and prosecutor both must agree on the selection of jurors. In such a high profile case where the defendant is clearly in the right, is it really possible they'll find the requisite 12 people who've not only been living under a rock these past couple weeks, but also have what's essentially a "neutral stupid" character alignment?

Luigi himself seems to be on this same train of thought given he turned himself in. He had several days to destroy the evidence, but instead he went to McDonalds while cosplaying as the Adjuster, carrying the gun on his person. Surely this implies he won't take a plea deal, right?
