Substance abuse and humor are good friends. Most of the best material is dark as gently caress, and if you're in a place where that's all at the forefront in your mind, a little bit of vice keeps you going while you make other people laugh. Also IBM provided the computers and the technicians (since the Germans couldn't figure their stuff out) that made rounding up minority groups for the holocaust possible! IBM brought modern solutions to slice through a record-keeping/indexing gordian knot.

This bisexual opera singer/duelist was a person who actually existed. She was awesome. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_d%27Aubigny Wiki posted:Her Paris career was interrupted around 1695, when she kissed a young woman at a society ball and was challenged to duels by three different noblemen. She beat them all, but fell afoul of the king's law that forbade duels in Paris. She fled to Brussels to wait for calmer times. There, she was briefly the mistress of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria. Pvt.Scott has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Sep 7, 2016 |

BexGu posted:How happy/relieved do you think that first guy to lose the duel was after seeing he wasn't the only one? How upset do you think the third guy was? His opponent was tired from two previous duels, number three had plenty of time to study her technique, twice, and he still failed. Sore losers narced on her, too. Bad form all around.

Drunk & Ugly posted:I just want to say that I had a nightmare/beautiful dream where I pulled into a parking lot and Peter Dinklage was smirking and leaning against the back of a volvo or something and then when I called out Peter? Peter Dinklage? He crawled through a small hatch feet first into the back of the car and the last thing I saw was his smiling face. About a year ago I had a dream where I was waiting in line at the Kum & Go gas station that I go to multiple times a week. There were a few people ahead of me and I was uncomfortable because I was carrying one of those huge, heavy CRT monitors to purchase. I noticed a rather handsome man in an impeccable suit behind me and I saw that he had the blacked out glasses and white cane typical of a blind man. Then it hit me, standing behind me was Matt Murdock, the famous blind ace attorney! (I didn't recognize him as Daredevil in my dream because it's a SECRET IDENTITY GUYS) Anyway, my turn at the register came up, Ashleigh, one of the regular clerks rang me up and I paid cash. Well, Mr. Murdock, bless his heart, finished his transaction quickly and came over to hold the door open for my CRT carrying rear end, as I was having some trouble getting out of the store with my purchase. On the way out he whispered this to me, "I noticed when you pulled the money out of your wallet that all of the big bills were on the outside of the wad. That can attract the wrong type of attention and set you up for trouble. Next time, try putting your small bills on the outside, so the bigger bills are hidden in the middle, and you can just snag a ten or a twenty from the middle as you need it." Well, I thanked him very much for holding the door, and for the sound advice, and went to my car and wrestled the CRT into the trunk. As I closed the lid, a thought hit me... How could Matt Murdock have seen my money? He's blind! Then I woke up. The best part? I already do that with my money andI haven't seen anything Daredevil related since the Affleck movie, either.

Most of Gandhi's complaints just boil down to yelling "look at how hard we work while these savages do as little as possible, yet you treat us the same," at the white man. I can only imagine the native Africans watching him and thinking what a bitchmade idiot he was. "Look at this chump trying to actually work hard for these assholes that rolled in and just hosed his people's poo poo all up, just like they did with us. Shameful."

Look, you just need an airtight bag that will fit your whole body and a canister of one of the gasses that doesn't provoke the suffocation response from your body. You get in the bag, zip up, go peacefully to sleep, no muss, no fuss, easy cleanup for the crew. Exit bag. My friend had a son who did exactly that 5 years ago.  at least it's not a bad way to go.

Rocket science is very complex. I get it. I had fun watching the failure reels of the Americans and the Soviets just blowing up rocket after rocket after months of painstaking work each time in some documentary. The fact that Sputnik even got into space is amazing. My phone could have run the whole moon mission and had processor power left to spare for a kickin' rad playlist, though. The poo poo we threw into space was all kinds of primitive, but it worked, which is part of why I think it's cool. Everybody on both sides was trying to slap poo poo together as fast as possible while also maybe not destroying the payload at some distant point in the future. NASA is doin cool poo poo these days like using special gas lenses in telescopes to filter the light from stars to get the size and chemical makeup of planets from how they barely affect a star's light when they pass in front of it. Like a very tiny fraction of a percent change. They're cataloging probable earth-like planets right now. That's some highly advanced poo poo we just couldn't do in the 50s and 60s.

M.A.D. isn't all that bad. It really just means that by the time they blow up all of your important military and government poo poo, you will have done exactly the same, rendering it a suicidal gambit from a national point of view. Plenty of people would live through it, and there would't be much fallout to worry about, excepting actual nuke-on-ground-contact detonations, which would be pretty rare and probably only used on a few places like Cheyenne Mountain, if at all. The real bad effects of lighting up a bunch of nukes at the same time would be disrupting the Earth's magnetic field for a while, allowing more radiation to slip through and disrupting radio comms. The magnetosphere has had worse, though. We used to shoot nukes up into the high atmosphere and blow them up to see what would happen. SCIENCE! There's no kill like overkill, and if the death wasn't mega, you should probably doubletap to be sure.

nocal posted:"Facilitated communication" (FC), also known as rapid prompting, is a scientifically debunked augmentative communication method wherein a "facilitator" uses hand-over-hand guidance to assist a person communicate by pointing to letters. If this sounds like a ouiji board to you, that's about right. It was invented by a random lady in Australia and for some time it was not subject to any true scientific scrutiny. The first study to debunk the practice, as far as I can tell, was in 1992. Sunk Cost Fallacy, the willingness to believe for a good cause, familial loyalty, desperation for a cure, the mind's aversion to change, magical thinking and circling the wagons are all wrapped up in this mess, from my layman's perspective. That's a pretty deep hole for anyone to climb out of, even if they were looking to. I can't really blame a FC user or client parent/guardian for being pretty entrenched about the whole thing, even if they are harmful idiots.

The best part is that Mace and Cindel work with the Ewoks in the first movie to save their parents. Yay! Everything is cool! Second movie starts, dad has almost fixed the family's crashed starship and gets gunned down for the power core by some space Vikings. All the Ewoks get kidnapped, mom and Mace die and it's just Cindel and Wickett abondonef in the loving woods. Kind of downer opening.
