It was Oliver.

I’m not familiar with this. Can you give a “for example?”

And this time IDF didn’t shoot them!

Ah, yes. I can’t speak to the intent of the meme. Not that you specifically asked me, personally, in the first place. Sorry, I’m of no help there, but if I were to guess, I’d say it’s a Jerry Seinfeld “what’s up with that” attempt at humor.

Regarding the spelling, well now, that’s just equal parts hilarious and sad.

There’s a lot of nuance in science that is ignored at non-upper-level university courses. We teach models that work for most cases, and each level deeper simply “lies” a little less, if that’s how we choose to describe what’s being taught. For 99.9% of uses, the simplest models are sufficient.

I’m not a fan of this guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. The article headline is trying to rile us up for clicks. It took his comments about “building bridges to bring both sides together” and accused him of encouraging acceptance of homophobes. Aren’t there plenty of bigots out there to fight without twisting “building bridges” into “accepting homophobes?” Aren’t we better than this?

Excellent news! Leaf, Bolt, 500e, Cooper SE

Times change a few years later, but I wouldn’t bank on that non-escalation theory here.

Korean Air flight 007

I thought the exact same thing! At the time, I’d heard rumors that the entirety of USSR’s air defense was smoke and mirrors. This isn’t helping to refute those decades old rumors, if there is anything to refute.

I love the autotldr bot, but I’m glad I clicked through on this one. This guy was the sort of hero I’ve hoped existed in the modern world, not just history books. The article does include a photo his wife took of his torture bruises, so be warned (I don’t consider it particularly graphic, but I am not you).

Same. Upvote if I think it’s important for others to see.

Mass extermination, from the sounds of it.

How much did it cost?

“We just learned” is a bit of a stretch. Here is a Medium post from 2020, which cites previous interviews and Jon Ronson’s 2015 book “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed,” that explains the problems with the infamous experiment: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/have-we-gotten-the-stanford-prison-experiment-all-wrong-fad09471e79c

Edit: Ah, title is straight from the Vox title, and that article is from 2018

It isn’t so much the volume of typing, it’s the typing a thought-out answer to all those various articles and responses that seems curious. I type at a pretty fast rate, myself, but I don’t consider someone else’s comments and think up (and then type) fact based replies in that timeframe. My comment about typing speed was more me implying that a 3-day-old account that is responding that quickly to that many people on so many subjects in such a short amount of time – well, it walks and quacks like a bot.

Hmmm, how on earth is it possible for you to have replied to 26 different posts in the last 60 minutes, across multiple articles, many with multiple paragraphs. Fastest typer in the world?

That’s a great solution to win an election if it were easy to find a golden candidate that people like and can’t be portrayed as less than ideal by the other side. Right now, I’ll happily settle and vote for less than perfect if that candidate is the only one not courting fascism. And I certainly won’t go throwing my vote to someone else just because the only guy standing between democracy and tyranny isn’t checking all my boxes. No, sir. Democracy is too important to throw away just because “I don’t love one candidate and actively fear the other, so I just won’t bother.” Democracy is my single-issue this election. Get out and vote, because this time, democracy is cracking, and it is at risk of collapse to fascism.

I saw the switchblade comb, even without animation.
