• Go to Teotihuacan to see how non/hierarchical it was, maybe trip balls if the opportunity presents itself.

• Go to Harappa or Mahenjo Daro and see how indus seals were used.

• Kindly ask the Minoans if that topless lady holding the snakes is in charge.

It’s not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they’re more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.

So either medical, emotional or social. 🤷

The kennedy clan are known to be very protective of their reputation, hence being so reluctant to speak out about the insane russian asset in the family.

I’m going to enjoy watching their family name associated with the largest rise in preventable deaths in american history. At least until I contract polio.

I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places

Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.

I messaged it to you. Please report back if you remain alive and internetted.

“Fear coded” is an interesting construction. That is easier to say than “betrays a fear based thought process”, which is what it sounds like to me. Different enough from something like ‘fearful thinking’ that I can see why it would be used.

The Pleiadian stuff is just too much nonsense for me to want to understand anything used in that context.

I searched just ‘pleiadian’ on google and got both an ‘About’ and the 3rd result linking to a misspelled PDF on IRS.gov about “ancier& extraterrestrials” Um what? I’ve never been so tempted to click a link that I know I shouldn’t click.

refers to all of her thoughts as “codes”

I’ve never heard of such a thing. Can anyone point me to a real life example? I’d love to see exactly how that’s used.

the idea that it would hurt small business is a smoke screen.

Yeah, the ultra wealthy are always claiming that if they have to pay their fair share then all of society will suffer. 🙄 118 honestly sounds fine to me, but the array of groups I trust that were against it gave me pause. I voted no, hoping to avoid another case of doing the right thing the wrong way.

or he’s going to go to prison

Someone’s an optimist!

Even the hostages are only as much leverage as their families can apply - netanyahu has shown time and again that he’ll let them all die if it gives him another day in power.

First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.

I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I’m too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.

When asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.

Calling that a joke seems… generous.

Is it equivalent to burning the cross? The Swedish flag?

No, it’s definitely not. You have to look at the social context of the act, not just the act itself.

To use the most obvious examples, burning an american flag in protest of the vietnam war is clearly an expression of political speech, whereas burning a cross on the lawn of an african-american family’s house is an incitement to violence.

A fascist burning the koran is clearly an incitement to violence and hatred, and not legitimate political speech worth protecting.

For all the fun-ruiners saying this is not uplifting news because his assets will live on, zombie-like, animating his feckless children as they continue to inflict their monstrous will on our country - shush!

Just let us have this ok? A few moments to celebrate the death of a parasitic aristocrat doesn’t seem like too much to ask.

He’s rich.

If we just extend that rule to everyone we’d have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.

As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That’s why we still largely use the latinized names.

These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin’.

This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

If someone reads my comment, and they’our not sure if I’m serious our not, that’s ok with me.
