Yes, they probably did…

It just means that when “distracted”, perception of time changes. For example, doing something you hate tends to feel like it took more time than something you enjoy.

They misspelled his name in the letter. Just show up the next day and act like nothing happened. I’m betting they wont even check.

Nowadays that’s only true for movies.

Depending on where in the world it’s still mostly true for shows and music as well. Although they’ve been losing their near-monopoly, just look at how popular Korean entertainment is now compared to even a decade ago.

there are plenty of sleepwalker who believe the TV narrative about basically everything

I have a family member like that. They’re not religious of any kind, worked with fine electronics in factory, etc. and is by no means stupid. Earlier this year they started ranting about children supporting terrorism and no one understood what was going on. Until they revealed that some kids had written “Stop killing children” with chalk on the sidewalk. All because of TV news with anchors and all that. Not even some far right or conservative channel, just traditional and usually pretty neutral news. But they leave out 90% of what is going on.

Yeah it’s not the best, but it can be pretty effective since it evaporates at hive temperatures and disperses.

The point is that the commercial miticides are far from the only option that works, and that they’ve known about the issue for decades.

Intrinsically so, as it’s harder to take advantage of people if you sympathize with them.

• Double clicking with the mouse on a word usually selects the whole word with the space after, very nice for copy-pasting.

• Double clicking on the selected word will sometimes select the whole line(In some applications it actually selects up to the newline marker, so it will grab multiple lines if resized smaller).

My favorite part is how people in the public eye who present end-of-days predictions always have some weird excuse after the fact. As was beautifully parodied in Parks and Rec.

In this case there have been impersonators, and the original author has no connection to a lot of the newer stuff. She is not trying to cash in or play things up, which is a wonderful contrast to a lot of people who claim to be doomsday predictors.

Yeah, it’s not strictly narcissism, but in general it is lower level of empathy in varying degrees.

Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I’m sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.

A quick and drunk google:

• In 1939 the Soviet Union had around 171m people. At the end of 1940 there were about 1.5m people in gulags - 0.87% of the population

• In 2023 the USA had 664k prisoners and a population of 337m - 0.19%

Over the course of 40 years, 14-18m people went through the gulags, and over 1.5m people died.

It’s narcissism. The driving force behind conservatism as a whole, is narcissism. They all think they’re the special individual that will get special treatement. Hence the whole “leopards eating faces” thing.

The varroa mite has been blamed for years. It’s been a growing issue for decades. And scientists found out in the 80s and 90s that you can use formic acid to treat for them, instead of any commercial miticide.

Yeah, that’s mobile game territory.

A 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.

It’s called “The Future I Saw”, with diary entries and is “based on a dream”. One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That’s the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.

A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.

Just like most red states, where there tends to be one or two areas/cities that are very blue.

Long story short is that America has literally been going through “First they came for …” for months now.

I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how “no one could see it coming” and “why didn’t anyone warn me(better)”. You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.

One of the stupidest parts is labeling “woke”, aka empathy, as a “mind virus”.

At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.

Yeah, but if you want a true PvE experience, look elsewhere. As it’s impossible to reach end-game without risk of being killed by another player.

Even on private servers, the later resources are only in pvp areas that are shared with other private servers.

Once you’ve met a few CEOs, you quickly realize that most of them literally don’t use or even get close to their own product unless someone else is showing them.
