Some pre human carnivorous hominids had diets dependent on hippos. Hunting hippos with stone tools and pre true language is some serious shit

In the end, if you’ve got enough spears and people to throw them, there ain’t much else to do.

roguetrick,

Yeah horse messengers were only really a thing when you could change horses at stations. That’s the whole point of the marathon. It’s based on the history of a foot messenger (at a time when we very much had domesticated horses).

roguetrick,

I murdered a bat by grabbing him with my toes and throwing him across the room while I was half asleep. I thought he was a sock. The rabies prophylaxis was a small measure of revenge for him.

roguetrick,

I don’t think you need to be trans to have a desire for the wonderful vascular benefits of stockings.

roguetrick,

Unless it’s a nuke sub that lets your rich ass just disappear under the water I don’t see the point. Cruising around under the surface with a snorkel up on diesel engines just seems like a straight downgrade. Why even go out of your bunker.

roguetrick,

It can be submerged but it can’t cruise on batteries for 4 weeks. It’ll have to put it’s snorkel up.

roguetrick,

Sure, but you can do that on a yacht just as effectively and get a sun tan while you’re at it.

Maybe their proposed market is evil albino billionaires. I think only Bera Ivanishvili qualifies.

Now i'm definitely cheering for Rulestein (lemmy.ml)

It’s that simple.” @ChrpngBrd’s response is a thumbs up emoji, and two stills from The Simpsons S02E19 “Lisa’s Substitute.” In which, the first image is Martin Prince...

roguetrick,

Bibi’s government is though, thank God.

roguetrick,

NATO can always rely on Turkey because Russia will always want the black sea to itself. That’s been true from the Tsar, to the USSR and now to the federation. It’ll never change.

Turkey just plays a strange game with powers it has proxy fights with, like Russia and Iran.

roguetrick,

As an AG it’s her role to use discretion in bringing forward cases based on her interpretation of her mandate. That’s why it’s a political position.

roguetrick,

They eat some fancy bread in Vienna I guess.

roguetrick,

The more art you put into a triple A the more risk you introduce that it’ll fall flat. And with the incredible budgets on triple A’s nowadays, execs just aren’t tolerant of risk.

roguetrick,

I don’t even understand this shit. People born in the 50s came of age in the 60s and the 70s. When they say they had happy days, they literally mean they watched it on TV.

roguetrick,

Ted Nugent and Moron Labe.

roguetrick,

Wanted to chime in and clarify, the major issue there is you cannot operate a door handle in a crush, no matter how much of your senses you have. Can’t use a door handle if you can’t use your arms. Am drunk on the internet and hope this isn’t interpreted as a hostile reply.

roguetrick,

Absolutely.

roguetrick,

Pope doesn’t recognize the Autocephaly of the Ukrainian church as much as the Moscow Patriarch doesn’t. There isn’t a great amount of support coming from the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches in Ukraine.

roguetrick,

Pope doesn’t like Ukrainian autocephaly any more than Kirill.

That’s really rough. The article says he died from a combination of respiratory infection/malnutrition. I bet the respiratory infection was aspiration pneumonia because they were trying to feed him with whatever they could get their hands on due to his cerebral palsy related dysphagia. Ended up just adding to his problems.

196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

roguetrick,

I live in maryland so my ballot doesn’t matter much regardless for the presidential election. If Biden loses maryland he loses. And I won’t be voting for him. The worst thing missing my vote will do for him is reducing his popular vote. Since that’s mostly a talking point, good.

roguetrick,

Just overall a very funny comment in regards to Israel.

roguetrick, (edited )

I have no doubt he wants to finally explain to Bibi how weak he is domestically and picking a fight with Biden by meddling in US domestic politics can be a two way street. I don’t, however, believe Biden actually wants to stop the genocide. The point is, Bibi is very vulnerable to someone actually hitting his weak points for once and a vote of no confidence on the war cabinet is very possible.

If Biden had any sense, he would’ve already been going after Likud this whole time. Instead he’s been allowing himself to be dragged around by his ear while Bibi openly supports him getting replaced by Trump.

roguetrick, (edited )

Biden doesn’t want to stop it, he wants to reduce the noise. And to achieve that his best option is to use indirect and direct support to knock Bibi out of control of the knesset. It’s something that should’ve been done since the inauguration. The idea that he was going to somehow get the support of Bibi in any capacity was idiotic.

nymag.com/…/the-biden-plan-to-ditch-israels-netan…

Edit: I’m genuinely curious what makes this so controversial of a take. That I’m arguing for realpolitik interventionism or that I’m criticizing biden?

roguetrick, (edited )

We continue to supply arms and rush to do so. That Bibi’s cabinet is full of genocidal maniacs(and that his coalition is specifically BUILT on those genocidal maniacs so it’s resistant to soft attempts to lower the temperature because that would result in the fall of Bibi’s government and his imprisonment for corruption) was known before the conflict even started. I don’t really know how you think people will interpret this. If you think Biden’s administration is unfairly tarred by their actions, maybe they shouldn’t have done it. Ignorance is a fig leaf.

And even this is a response to a domestic issue. That’s why I say Biden wants to reduce the noise. He’s certainly showed no interest in actually using leverage to halt the conflict.

roguetrick,

Horseshit. Biden is NOW doing exactly what I said. Being hostile to Likud and leveraging the US’s position to freeze him out. The idea that we were somehow constrained by them being US allies before but aren’t constrained now is silly. It’s purely because he was too afraid of pissing off domestic Israel supporters and that fear led to the exact situation we’re in now. These are decisions made, not the ineffable ebb and flow of international relations. And they were the wrong decisions.

roguetrick,

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,

3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Not quoting this to express my support, just reminded me of of the genocidal Psalm 137

roguetrick,

She’s going to get her money now though. I wonder what sort of collateral he had to put up to secure this bond. I don’t know if I’d want to be the insurance company trying to get that collateral back after all his legal cases leave him bankrupt.

roguetrick,

The general absence of electric trains in factorio kills my immersion. Like yeah, they would make nuclear powered trains obsolete but overhead wire already makes that an insane proposition in real life.

roguetrick,

Ah so by “old school tech” they mean he is a bigoted misogynist but supposedly in some charming mad men type of way. Wonderful.

roguetrick, (edited )

I like to think of it as even worse. It’s likely that the drivetrains themselves are already electric and just running on coal gas, oil, or nuclear power plants to electric like our current locomotive engines. You’re just too dumb to figure out how to wire your powergrid to them. It’s like the US cargo train situation in a nutshell.

roguetrick,

I’m glad I was able to immerse you in the seriousness of my opinion.

roguetrick,

Racist ass web servers.

roguetrick,

run anti-cheat

Isn’t that next to impossible in mobile games like this?

roguetrick,

Have you tried out Molly?

Nah, I get hypomania from buproprin. I think ecstacy would put me straight into serotonin syndrome.

roguetrick,

The Dominican Republic has a long history of killing Haitians that spill over.

roguetrick,

It couldn’t be a trade issue with one of the biggest milk exporters I’m sure

roguetrick,

Yeah, food which can only be traded for with cash. Which is in short supply because there are some sort of restrictions on Cuba’s ability to trade commodities and raw resources for cash.

roguetrick,

Well that’s no better than searching IRC logs, which are something folks have absolutely done in the past. I still haven’t figured out why folks like discord so much though.

roguetrick,

“This discovery,” the pope added, “brings us out of the isolation of a self-referential ego and makes us look at ourselves as an identity in relation.”

So racism is good because it creates a “tension” that allows you to compare yourself to others too, I take it?

Fundementally these arguments aren’t even about trans folks. They’re reheated arguments about second wave feminism.

roguetrick,

You should take an entry level sociology course before you go off about history and functionalism being the root of how culture works. It’s been voluminously debated and largely rejected.
