Could have used Line to rhyme with Nine. Rhyming is usually avoided so if you don't hear the first part you still can maybe understand the last part.

IE if Bat and Rat were both chosen, and you heard "At", you can't tell which it was. But Rat and Bryan sound sufficiently different.

Could be fun to try to find the most overlap of rhyming, silent letters, and maybe stuff like regional dialectal differences, common mispellings, homophones (some used on this one). Bonus points for unusual or long words (might seem like a mistake or annoying & inefficient to say, respectively).

Bit Idea: Redo 9/11 every 25 years including an accurate recreation of the towers and planes. 3000 volunteers get the honor of being in the buildings etc. If enough people don't sign up, we can use some crash test dummies. No conspiracy theories or anything because its all very open and plain. Heck we can put every country on a big wheel and spin it and it'll be their fault this time.

I call making the freedom fries for the 2051 event.

And it doesn't make any sense. Bots can easily change where they're scraping... only blocking "old" still allows it thru "new".

Sure it slows down any old bots, but its programming 101 to scrape sites. Or, like... people will just make an account to scrape?? Especially """"ai"""" bros, they can just spin up whatever to proxy through and get around whatever bs they throw up.

Just the laziest lying I've ever seen.

I learned flanking playing Medieval 1 & 2 total war as a fucking dumb secluded 10 year old.

Cannae might be one of the most well discussed battles in history BECAUSE of the use of flanking (and because of how huge of a Roman L it was). My history books in high school described the (American) Union strategy of blockading as flanking.

If you're 20+ and call flank, surround, and/or engulfing "WWII tactics", you shouldn't be making military analysis posts. Absolutely embarassing post.

Wasn't tree spiking completely made up to smear eco-defence? Like some mills hit some nails in trees and then blamed ecologists. Like no one would ever nail something to a tree.

Also funny thing. Grand parents used to say a copper nail would kill a tree. I looked it up years later and didn't see anything but mentions of tree spiking. I wonder if its a thing to discourage spiking without mentioning why people would do it.

Also also: If you know an area isn't going to be cut for profit, don't spike trees please. Work with people who do cut trees/cut them up to throw them off nature trails and keep it safe for the public.

The only tree I would worry about someone cutting is way down a cliff next to a swamp and is MASSIVE. Unironically probably worth $100k+ because of its size and some specific features. But it wouldn't be worth it because it would kill you to haul it out quickly and/or would take a few days.

No central leadership

Uncritical support to our anarcist algae comrades.

Listen, Eddy is a scammer, a freak, a piece of shit, an abuser of friends, and the embodiment of capitalism.

But he would never actually believe 'ai' is human. He might try to sell it for a quarter, but he wouldn't believe. He'd say as much. And he'd move on at the end of 13 minutes.

Kevin is the one who would believe unironically. Dork.

Should be a ban on ads in general. We get one life, I don't care about your shitty product.
