Shit, sign me up. I could definitely use some amusement.

Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.

It’s not. I have a Mastadon account (made it nearly a year before BlueSky). It was work. I have to curate it and the interface is awful. BlueSky was easy.

To be clear, I barely use BlueSky, either. I’m almost exclusively on Lemmy. But these platforms need to get their UX ducks in order, and I say that as someone who has adapted to tech and UX since the late 80s.

I barely have the energy for social media in the first place. Mastadon feels like work.

Oh is that what that noise was? I thought it was from when I nearly strangled myself with my headphone cable in standing, since I’ve apparently forgot how reality works today.

I’ve no idea what’s gone wrong, but someone else suggested weed. I wasn’t on it, but perhaps I should be.

No weed. Just pure unfiltered ignorance.

Oh that’s cool!

 

I’ve officially looked at the word ‘valuing’ enough times in trying to spell it that it doesn’t look like a word anymore.

Just look at it Valuing Valueing? Valuing VALUING

This word has broken my brain today, how are you?

Nah, it’s because that evidence doesn’t and never did exist.

‘Look at the size of my ~~penis~~ parade!’

 

It looks like they’re actually tier 1 (they seem to be standing on a white platform), but what, if any, weight is each layer above them? I can see narrow platforms, but are they all taking most of the weight?

I’m not sure whether this was meant as an athletic or purely aesthetic display – since they’re billed as ‘acrobats’, I assumed skill was involved, so what would be the best and worst case scenario those 8-10 in the narrowest tier would be supporting?

e: was there any kind of structural support in this? I’m not finding much about it.

Here’s a Snopes article about this event at the 1980s Olympics in Moscow.

It wasn’t meant as a gotcha, just an observation that they didn’t learn from the Nazis, near the same holy war has been going for a really long time with a few names changing, and it’s tiresome.

Isn’t it far* older than that? Didn’t Israel commit the main genocide in the Old Testament? Religious people tell me that’s a historical document.

To me, this same holy war has been raging for millennia and I really wish we’d outgrow it.

If the whole point of the trip was to get propaganda footage showing how much Greenlanders love and welcome the US and trump administration, the trip would be a waste of time without it.
