Honestly from the limited knowledge I have, Mongolians seemed to be the one of the chillest of invaders. They gave you a clear choice, let us rule you or die. And once they ruled you they allowed many freedoms that crusaders and colonizers didn’t. Their tactics were brutal and I think that’s why people see them as so evil.

The meme format doesn’t really work, but the joke they’re trying to make is that even though they did all these terrible things, it was never because of religion. In fact, they just didn’t give a fuck in what you believed in. Genghis even allowed religious figures to be exempt from taxation.

Suicide comes in many different flavors. The most common in my limited experience is desperation. If you are so utterly desperate for literally anyone to listen to you, I don’t see how it would hurt. Especially since there’s such a positive stigma surrounding the hotline. I personally know a couple of people that the hotline helped.

The absolute panic when you put the keys in the ignition and the seat starts moving forward. You try to move it back before your knee slam into the dash, but the controls arent exactly where you thought

If you have to explain the joke, it probably wasn’t worth making.

Why the fuck is a landlord in charge of people’s lunches?

People are crazy for bucees. It’s a road trip staple. It wouldn’t surprise me if the idea behind this is to get people to reroute their road trips next time just to stop at bucees.

Yeah, I’ve long since stopped using Google. Theres not any search engines I’ve found that mimic Google in its height, but many of them are better than what Google is now. Even bing.

If you read it, the mod certainly didn’t beg. They just mentioned that they’re still blocking bots and to not be discouraged from posting original content.

Also I find it highly doubtful that the mods of that subreddit are concerned about shareholders. Why would a mod care about money when they’re not even getting paid? They most likely just care about keeping the community alive.

Not to take away the point. Which I think is something most Lemmy users have realized ages ago, reddit is so full of repost bots that it makes gallowboob look like a saint. So much in fact that after two days, not a single original post has occurred in a subreddit with a reported 17 million followers.

My ex and I exclusively used first names. That or “dummy”.

I like meat, and if it’s not for morality then what other reason is there?

Are you from Switzerland? Here in America, the slogan for Dunkin is “American runs off Dunkin’”. I’m wondering what it is there?

I was on Lexapro and I have ADHD as well. All it did for me was made me tired for the first week. And then nothing.

I see the disconnect. Most people would use the physics definition of sound, you’re using the physiologic definition. So yes you’re right, however no you’re wrong.

“Next” refers to the occurrence that follows the current. “This” means the occurrence that is present. I’m regards to days, it usually follows a week to week basis, Monday through Saturday.

If its Friday and I say “this Saturday” it’s referring to the Saturday in the current week. Tomorrow. “Next Saturday” would be 8 days later.

Sound isn’t dependent on whether someone hears it, but instead IF someone could hear it. IF a person was around, you would hear it. A sound wave doesn’t come into being just because you happened to be around. It’ll exist regardless if you are capable of hearing it or not.

Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don’t think animals should suffer before they’re slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we’re predators just like any other carnivore.

The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

But if you like meat, you’re not being a baby. If anything it’s the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don’t think that’s wrong. That’s just evolution.

We’re such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we’re not. I’ll admit that), I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.

You wouldn’t deny a lion it’s prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.

I really don’t like that level of responsibility. Probably just put the country under anarchic rule, and head back home.

Discworld work make an incredible series of movies. I think D&D Honor Amongst Theives proves that modern comedy fantasies can work great in a movie format.

My other choice would be House of the Scorpion.
