“Peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals” are not the air-tight source you seem to think they are. A lot of them have become echo chambers that largely seek to only acquire more citations for the sake of having more citations. I’m not saying they all deserve to be thrown in the trash or anything, but likewise I’m also not going to blindly believe whatever they’re/you’re telling me just because they’ve got “Journal” on the front cover. Here, check out this blog post, it goes into some of the history of Academic Journals and how they’ve fallen from grace over the last several decades. Oh also they’re quickly becoming inundated with AI, both in terms of submissions and even the review process itself, and personally I’m not going to let an AI tell me if AI is good or bad

Press X to Doubt

Yes

Mrs Clinton, it appears the terrorists have snuck a snuke up your snizz

That’s an unfortunate codename in the modern day: STI

Not inherently, no. But in practice, absolutely. Especially when you consider that people who have been in power for a long time almost certainly have better/deeper connections/corruptions than someone who just got elected into their first term

Ask to see his files

All I remember from that movie (other than the premise) is when the dude starts singing Janey’s Got a Gun and she gets tackled by campus security or something

Damn. I missed it this year

It’s actually spelled “Would”. Not sure how they made that mistake /s

Total Drama Island and/or The Ridonculous Race (same universe). They’re camp (hehe) but pretty good overall

So did I! Thanks!

Not entirely actually! I just learned earlier today (Wikipedia) that “if its ice is considered not as land, but as water, it is not a single landmass, but several landmasses of much smaller area, since the ice-bedrock boundary is below sea level in many regions of the continent”

This is different, yes (it’s another gacha game with horse racing as the main concept, except the horses are anime girls). But the Venn Diagram between the two different breeds of “horse girls” is looking more and more like a circle with each passing day

I’m assuming the rough translation is “false flat” right?

Honesty, most times and places throughout all of human history could easily fill these requirements if you look hard enough. My personal choice would be Sengoku-era Japan, but this is just one option out of thousands, potentially millions

Yes and no. I discovered a racoon wandering around my work during the day, turns out he had distemper and eventually animal control came to collect him. I did my best to make his last day comfortable though.

Then there was another time I found a big ol’ German shepherd/Labrador mix wandering around my neighborhood. We took him in, tried many times to find his owners (we even got the phone number on file for whoever chipped him but they hung up immediately as soon as we brought it up) but eventually he became ours. Sadly, he was only with us for about a couple weeks before peacefully passing away out of nowhere (on Christmas Eve no less)

I hardly think it’s “humanitarian” to “get rid of/destroy Russia” or any other country full of innocent people just living their lives, simply because their leaders are fucking the world over (and I’m not just saying because as an American, I can relate). Regime change? Sure, absolutely, let’s try it. Talking about the whole nation as if they were an infestation with no real purpose other than the eradication of “human decency”? Those are literal, almost verbatim, Nazi talking points my friend. Please be better than that, I know you can

It’s almost as if society has fully/mostly shifted to a full-fledged Corporatocracy…

Yeah but that’s just not fun. I prefer to be corrected rather than snubbed
