Just for the historical record, here’s Mussolini’s last public appearance:

Well, if you try not to think about it too hard, you may fall right about wherever Spike does:

Its like they went to the same school!

When I smoked cigs, I was literally always the only person who’d always bother to properly throw away butts, even got a psuedo MGS4 style cigarette butt container for when no buttcans or trash cans were nearby.

A few people I’d smoke with would follow my lead.

Most of them just saw me giving a shit about trashing them properly and tell me to go fuck myself, fagg*t, etc.

Why are most smokers so frivolous, entitled and agressive with littering?

They don’t give a fuck.

About their own health, or anyone else’s, or the environment.

…

Other comments are saying smokers think the filters, the butts, are biodegradeable.

They aren’t.

You can only use that excuse if you’re rolling rollies or spliffs, or tapping out a spent pipe.

A trillion dollars.

Is a ‘highly conservative estimate.’

…

From the people who notoriously underestimate costs and failed every audit in my lifetime.

Faaaantastic.

Just saw a recent post about a study into American literacy rates.

54% of American adults have a reading comprehension level of a 5th grader or worse.

Last time I made a post stating that I was surrounded by idiot morons, it got massively downvoted with a whole bunch of people claiming I was acting like a pretentious asshole.

Naw. I’ve got two college degrees. Worked for huge corpos in the past as a software engineer, data analyst, db admin.

Average American adult is functionally illiterate.

Many of us are objectively surrounded by morons.

I guess we’re all living in America, now =(

So I looked into this a bit and…

it appears to be based on whether a word is using Latin or Greek as its etymological basis, for words pertaining to feet.

In Latin… it is ped-… but in Greek… it is pod-.

… And, you are correct, English has a mish mash of both.

But also, a lot of English words referring to children use the Greek derived ped- or pedo- to refer to… children.

…Which is why in British English, the spelling ‘paed-’ is used, to minimize this confusion.

But us clever Americans dropped that, rofl.

Sorry to rain on the parade… but ya’ll know that the prefix indicating something pertains to the foot or ankle is pod-, right?

Podiatry. Podiatrist.

Ped- refers to children.

Pediatrician. Pediatrics.

So King Arthur in Japan is just English flavored Joan of Arc.

Was this an actual real post or satire?

I genuinely have no clue.

… you… don’t think there were people too poor, or ugly, or unhygenic, or rude, or abrasive, or poor of health, … to have ever had a sexual encounter, to ever be married … and to become misogynistic as a result?

He was what we would now call a volcel.

Women were distractions to him, he was much more interested in inventing calculus, arguing over who invented calculus, astronomy, alchemy, economics, etc.

According to Mutahar:

1. The Anti Cheat has already been bypassed by a free cheat menu on Windows.

2. He’s fairly sure he has figured out some kind of way to temporarily bypass (as in, it’ll probably get caught in a few weeks) the linux block by some kind of custom virtualization method (requiring only one GPU) that he says he may explain in detail at some point.

In general, he’s done with playing GTO.

But yeah, obligatory reminder for BattleEye and EasyAntiCheat games that refuse to allow linux play:

All these game devs have to do is flip a switch, click a few options in their developer portals, to allow BattleEye or EAC to work on linux, through Proton.

And its been that way for 3 years, since 2021.

There is literally no reason for games that use these services to not work on linux, the devs just don’t fucking care.

There exists documented proof in many bits of literature from around 200 BCE to around 100 CE of numerous different figures in what is called ‘Jewish Apocalypticism’, basically a small in number but persistent phenomenon of Jews in and around what was for most of that time the Roman province of Palestine, preaching that the end would come, that God or a Messiah would return or arise and basically liberate the region and install a Godly Kingdom, usually after or as part of other fantastical events.

Jesus was one of many of these Jewish Apocalypticists. Much like the rest of the movement’s key figures, they were wrong, and their lives were greatly exaggerated in either their writings or writings about them or inspired by them.

This seems to be the (extremely condensed) opinion of most Biblical Scholars.

There are a very small number of modern Biblical Scholars that are ‘Mythicists’ of some kind, who believe that Jesus was completely fictional and wholly invented by certain people or groups.

This is an unpopular view amongst scholars and historians of that time and region, as most believe it more plausible that Jesus was just another example of a radical Jewish Apocalyptic preacher, which again, was fairly common for roughly 300 years in that region.

Its like how if you go to a big city theres always that one guy with a megaphone preaching imminent doom. 99% of people think this is silly and ignore them, but tons of people know that people like them exist and do have small followings.
