10·5 days agoThe first seated events would probably have been people speaking to larger groups in amphitheaters that naturally formed by rock formations. You can often find natural amphitheaters as features of parks with cliffs, and people were probably inherently drawn to those kinds of spaces
10-15 years ago was 2011-2016 amigo
There was plenty of that stuff in the American porn scene by then
The “what are you doing stepbro?” joke originated in that period, which inherently necessitated market saturation of that type of porn to work as a mainstream joke
I think medical collections is one of the few things that has no impact on your credit score, if I remember right.
Either way, your credit score can pretty easily turn around from being absolute shit if your financial situation turns around. I used to have a score of like 400 and now its 700. A lot of creditors still deny me based on the stupid shit I did as a teenager that sent it down to 400, but once it gets back towards 700 (assuming you have income to back applications) theres always some place that will give you a loan on decent terms. For a while there I was shit out of luck on that though and couldnt get a loan from anyone that wasnt predatory

162·30 days agoIts amazing that since then we haven’t had much success in even landing anything unmanned on the moon, let alone manned. The fact that they weren’t ripped to shreds like most other things weve ever tried to land, using that era’s technology, is absolutely fucking bonkers
E: Im assuming someone downvoted this bc they think Im saying this as in “the moon landing was fake” or something, which is not the case. Its just incredibly difficult to land something on the moon successfully, even with all the modern technology that we have. Resilience (2025), Hakuto-R (2023), Luna 25 (2023), and Beresheet (2019) all crashed in attempts to land on the moon using modern sensors and flight equipment that have infinitely more capability than what the US used to put men on the moon. The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) used a 1.024 MHz processor, 2 KB of RAM, and 72 KB of read-only memory. You would need 4,000,000 times more RAM to simply play kerbal space program.
I dont believe the moon landing was faked whatsoever. Russia was watching every step of the way and would have happily pointed out if it had never happened. This was the height of the cold war. But instead they congratulated the US on its achievements. That said, its fucking insane that we were able to do it. Modern equipment has a less than 50% chance of landing safely, the odds of them being successful back then were infinitesimally smaller
Im a big fan of doing small amounts, but sometimes it definitely gets you feeling like

22·1 month agoThe “speak softly” era of American diplomacy is over, but the big stick is still bigger than ever. There is effectively a zero chance of anyone being willing to go toe to toe with the big stick. Although its possible the current leadership runs itself out of resources to wield the big stick against a large enough coalition of other countries. That part remains to be seen while we waste time fighting Iran for no reason

Neighborhood pride
It was fundamentally founded in the concept of “a king having power over everyone is unfair, but obviously having a ruling class of oligarchs is okay”, and basically has never moved from that point. Just rich white dudes mad at one more powerful rich white dude. They never intended to give up an inch of their own power. They were just salty about the king

Magic mushrooms are one thing, but there are actually a different kind of mushrooms that exclusively make people hallucinate tiny people running around everywhere. Theyre commonly eaten in Asia as a food, but if undercooked they make you see little people
There are a couple species around the world that have the same effect, so scientists are working to find the gene or other root cause that triggers us to hallucinate lilliputians
