Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I'm thinking you'd have damage from the pure energy imparted into the material e=1/2mv^2, but then also from pressure from bernoulli's theorem v^2/2g. In both cases, you'll note that if you double the velocity you get velocity squared increase in potential energy. In the case of doubling mass, you just double the energy. Then on top of that you've got the sheer force of pounding the flesh apart, it wants to keep on moving until it runs out of energy and with enough energy you can get past the elasticity of what you're passing through and cause additional damage in that way.

Geez, looking at the math, I think I'd prefer to do whatever I can to not get shot by any gun.

I can understand it though, if you are worried that icons such as art or statues are being worshipped as idols, then that's one of the 10 commandments you're breaking, so you got to go ruin all the pretty things in Byzantium.

He wasn't lying when he said I'm going to get sick of all the winning!

It sure doesn't seem like it's 2016 anymore!

One of the key metrics to determine if a source of information is accurate is if it helps you accurately predict the future.

If you were listening to the partisan establishment media, you'd think the election results were the polar opposite of what they were.

To be honest, it's one reason I switched my main news sources -- I need to be able to predict the future to some extent to make good decisions (we all do), and I kept on getting important predictions totally wrong with the news sources I was reading.

I don't remember who pointed it out, but we stray from God when times are easy because we think we've outgrown and outsmarted Him, only to come back once we realize we've brought our worlds to ruin and we need God to guide us out of the desert we led ourselves into.

Sadly I do think it's cyclical. I wonder if our apparent turn towards responsibility is something that'll last a couple decades before the next phase of even crazier insanity as a new generation of kids grow up and find the old books written by crazy aunt dangerhair?

No kidding, one of those "Why isn't this already the case?" things.

Thanks.

Given Poland's history I think they'd be particularly sensitive to anything potentially affecting their sovereignty.

They added cursive back to the curriculum here so I added it to my lessons with my son since school is just one part of a child's education and it's really arguably not the most important part.

Forgive my ignorance, independence from what?

>the most autistic person you have ever seen

aw fuck that's me, isn't it?

(How can people who are so fat support an ideology that always leads to mass starvation?)

Is this why half the internet says space oddity is about being gay and doing crime?

I wrote a lot about looking at fascism and national socialism as strains of socialism recently and I'm totally convinced it's the only framework that makes sense.

Cults with an expiration date tend to do two things: either they fall apart or they double down and become more extreme. In the face of reality, this cult is doubling down.

Problem is Toronto and Vancouver are left wing havens, and they have many seats, so you can win the country despite the map being pure blue (conservative) because a bunch of tiny ridings outnumber entire provinces.

It works right until it stops working.

They were on a waiting list for 8 years to get that car.

FreeBASIC FTW

No global megacorps would ever want to touch that.

It's funny, when they swapped out Biden for Harris at the last minute I was thinking of Kim Campbell and how that basically destroyed her political career so Mulroney wouldn't need to take an L.

One reason I don't want Trudeau to retire until the Liberal party is in fourth place next election good and proper.

I feel like Trump should tap her for secretary of defense, help get the armed forces back on track with experience of the problems inside them.
