@grayskies365@ryanvantuyl i buddy of mine once turned and spat directly on my cheek unprompted during a house show. if I hadn't been with them the whole night and known that they were in a wild manic episode and were on a bunch of shit, I would've flattened them.
I, for one, enjoy Cris Collinsworth. I am not a fan of this Cris Collinsworth slandertrain. He has a McConaugheyesque charm that is rare to find. I'm patiently waiting at the annual Joe Buck slandertrain station.
@hansel_mp3 i think it has less to do with "techniqueslop" and more the fact that it sounds like actual shit. Steve Vai is techniqueslop but he's at least listenable.
Path Dependence is such an important concept to understand when we talk about structures like the police. Yes, a society would function better without a militaristic police presence. But stripping the propagandistic *idea* of the heroic police system that benevolently 1/2

@thecyborgscribe@OTTO_Wlf@sadtheropod BS in Wildlife Science here. In many cases, trophy hunters will pay LUDICROUS amounts of money to a wildlife refuge to kill a specific aging individual that will be dying soon anyway. This can actually be really important because older males will systematically hunt and kill 1/2
@BaseballWRLD_ Football equivalent is Jordan Palmer (former NFL backup QB journeyman). Dude used to (maybe still does) make super informative videos about the QB position, reviewing clips, and hyping up high school/college QBs. Class act. I love that guy.
@AlphaPrime90@baseballisdead_ I feel like way more people care about the dunk contest than the home run derby. The dunk contest has bred tons of all-time sports moments, far more than the home run derby. Like I think the home run derby rocks, but lets not kid ourselves. The dunk contest is way more iconic
In my fish university course, my fish professor told us that a good method is repeating the mantra: "I am not a fish. I am no longer a fish. I am a human being." Hiccups are likely a vestigial response from when we were fish. (It works).
having the hiccups will truly reveal which of your friends worship at the alter of science and reason (suggest holding your breath until the hiccups go away) and which of your friends will try to โscare them out of youโ like a fanatical priest from the 1800s
me when I build the atmosphere exploder 9000: guys this is a good thing this is technological progress it's a fundamental moral imperative that I build the atmosphere exploder 9000
rationalists will make a few good points and then follow it up with the most inane BS ever said
@mrgunn technological progress is a fundamental moral imperative for the betterment of mankind. itโs unbelievable how good of a thing it is and what an uphill battle we have
