Nice try, NYT

A YT channel of a Spanish guy from deep rural Navarra living in China making blogs (Jabiertzo), shows chinese kids around him sometimes mocking his big nose, which I always found kinda funny

Please don't forget about Spain, our national myth includes "the reconquista" and the Spanish empire.

Based take.

I saw a meme some time ago which showed 3 people: first person shooting a gun to the second person and it bouncing to the third one. On top of each person it said respectively "demeaning comment towards a physical attribute of someone you hate" -> "said person not giving a fuck" -> "your comment hurting someone unrelated". Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

For sure, just found it funny

Spain and Portugal being spicy whites and forgiven for their uwu cowoniawism

Inflating numbers to make them bigger is also peak Japanese game design

Non Usian here, what's the funny part?

Usian works too IMO, but yeah yaKKKee is better

Excuse me, what's functionally banned now?

CW: illness and bodily fluids

Warning: I'm not a doctor and the following comment isn't medical advice. I'll talk about first hand account.

I've both heard of and seen people losing consciousness briefly while having a bad time puking hard or defecating hard. Happened to my dad once when he had a tough case of food poisoning, he was defecting and I heard a loud thud in the bathroom, ran there and found him with his face on the floor, fallen forwards. After that, it never happened again and it's been years since that. I'm not trying to tell you not to pursue medical examination, but it wouldn't be the first person getting worried over losing consciousness while doing serious gut effort.

Russian language still has weird declensions with animate and inanimate stuff in some cases, very interesting

During Sukkot, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the harvest, members of the anti-Zionist organization Jewish Voice for Peace set up “solidarity sukkahs” at about 20 schools including Northwestern and the University of California, Los Angeles. The sukkahs, or huts, commemorate the structures the Israelites lived in while wandering in the desert for 40 years and are often decorated with gourds, fruit and lights. JVP members added signs saying “Stop Arming Israel.”

The sukkahs were removed at nine universities, according to JVP, with administrators citing new rules prohibiting unauthorized structures.

Oh my, maybe it wasn't about antisemitism all along then? Who woulda thunk! Where is the troll outrage at antisemitism when sukkahs are dismantled during Sukkot?

I'm on busy holidays right now so unfortunately I won't be here for the first session, but pls ping me as I'll try to catch up by the second one!

As an aside, I love English names that have a literal translation to Spanish. Bell Hooks would be "ganchos de campana", just funny to think of a book being written by some hooks meant to hold a bell

Pls link?

Thank you, quite the effort post ngl

Mario acknowledges that gays aren't token good people all with similar qualities, but complex humans with their backstories, their personalities, their drives and their motives. As the king of Koopa Kingdom, Bowser was indoctrinated into a radically homophobic brand of religion and is closeted, which leads him desperately to harass Peach to the point of kidnapping her despite her refusals, in order to satisfy his desire of "fitting in" with what Bowser considers is "morally right" and "pure".

Mario sees his suffering and understands that the only way to put an end to his misery and to save Peach and the oppressed Koopas is to murder him once and for all, despite his moral objections to murder and to harm of queer people, but justifies it in the same way that the IRA justified the attempts on Thatcher despite her being a woman.

In his last moments alive, Bowser hears Mario crying and screaming in pain, saying a last goodbye to Bowser's tragic life: "so long, gay Bowser". Bowser comes to accept his true self in the last seconds of life and accepts death, finally aware of himself and all the damage he's done. It's too late for himself, and dies at peace, knowing that the world will be a better place after he's gone.

It's a deep and sad story

Youtube channel "Chemical Mind" has taken a few of the lectures and ran them through audio software to improve audio quality

By 2035 Elon will be in jail.

Since the second half of the 2010s, he's been promising investors that the "full self driving is next year", and the technology just isn't there, especially at consumer car prices.

Chinese electric cars are objectively better and cheaper than Tesla, and with Tesla relying on Chinese batteries and car parts, the impending economic war between the US and China will make it impossible for Tesla to manufacture and sell their cars at a competitive price point (if at all).

Tesla stock will sink, and then, investors will shift away the responsibility to the man that was demonstrably committing fraud by promising technology that didn't exist. Elon won't go to jail for being a sexual assaulter, or for destroying freedom of speech in his platform and pushing fascist talking points. He'll go to jail for making rich people lose money.
