@aging_hacker@matthewdmarsden Didn’t say they weren’t. Said when in America they shouldn’t act like it’s our job to understand them. Eg, when I go to the UK I try not to turn right on red.
@elsathora@BlueskyLibs Really? No AC, no in flight WiFi, no Buc-ee’s?
Truly, the only thing Europe has to offer are piles of rocks your ancestors built that 20th century euros let fall apart. My condolences
@chuddylexical@Athar_Raza_22@kevinnbass So you want the per capita and absolute crime and poverty statistics from the 1500’s Spanish colonial era? Ok bro. 😎
Really stunned by how bad the reporting about the Somalian referee has been.
He didn’t “suddenly have trouble” at the border, wasn’t “previously cleared.” He had visa issues from the get-go and was (somewhat improperly) given a diplomatic passport to try to circumvent them.

@KardSC Yes, because our reps refuse to create a tax disincentiving people from moving here.
However, it isn’t just boomers from the north. Been to Greenville? It’s like Asheville vommited its excess everywhere.
@chuddylexical@Athar_Raza_22@kevinnbass Define living together? Should we start in 1865? 1965? Should we go back to 1765? What time period fits your narrative and gives you the raw numbers you’re looking for?
Here’s my X bucks 🫳
Does it hurt your pride when you double down on dumb for clicks? Do you have pride?
The ISS cost that much on old transport, and the whole platform isn’t intended to be a cooling system.
Who is SpaceX paying to launch SpaceX hardware on newer SpaceX rockets?
@MonwabisiKete@kevinnbass There is no data to support that and no metrics by which to test and evaluate. Gardners theory is discounted by many of his peers.
Yes, black people are good at sports, not because of intelligence but because of physiology. That doesn’t make them surgeons.
Your brain basically stopped recording your life around age 25. Everything since then is a blur for a reason.
Neuroscientists measured this so many times they named it: the reminiscence bump. Ask anyone over 60 to recall their strongest memories and almost every answer clusters between ages 15 and 25. The decade where everything was new. First job, first apartment, first real relationship. Your brain encoded each day because nothing had a template yet.
After that window closes, most people enter a repetition loop. Same commute, same office, same weekend rhythm. The brain stops recording repeated experiences as distinct events. A year with 300 novel days leaves 300 memory anchors. A year with 10 leaves 10. Both took 365 days to live. Only one of them will exist when you look back.
This is why people at 50 say "where did the time go." The time went into routine that felt like living but left almost nothing behind.
Your remaining years are fixed. How many your brain bothers to remember is entirely up to you.
@MonwabisiKete@kevinnbass Cope.
Poor white kids score higher than poor black kids. It’s not money, it’s culture.
White people built roads in your county that black people are now tearing up. Why is that? 🤔
Learn history. Romans, Tatar, Barbary, serfdom, indentured servitude. All periods when whites were enslaved for generations.
Or are you referring to being poor? Because Appalachia would like a word even today.
If skin color is dictating how blacks are treated I suggest it’s because of their actions, not the other way around.
