I recently learned that the guy that wrote this song is Neil Cicierega, who is also responsible for Potter Puppet Pals AND makes music under the title of Lemon Demon, which I had independently started listening to a few years ago. Funny how one guy is responsible for so many things that I’ve enjoyed over the years

In trms of the vibe that the title gives off, I guess. First category is a fairly serious-sounding, usually 1 word title, and the second category seems to be a grab-bag of silly titles and titles where the first word is “______'s”

Something about boys maturing slower than girls, I’m sure. Jk it’s what you said

Really! That does surprise me

Channels with absolutely zero drama that are still active and I would describe as " interesting content made by someone who cares about it" :

• cracking the cryptic: solving sudoku puzzles twice daily

• chessnetwork: explaining famous chess matches and occasionally playing online chess, but with none of the bro culture that has grown up around chess recently

• Folding ideas: great video essays about film or modern phenomena like NFTs

• Technology connections: already reccommended, but in depth explanations about how electronics work

• Language Jones: videos about linguistics and learning new languages

• Numberphile/StandUpMaths- interesting math videos

It definitely wouldn’t be the left image. With legs like those, you could never pull the pants up past the first (or I guess technically last) level of branching. It would either be the big pants or a large number of seperate, smaller pants on each of the lowest branches.

To be fair, that’s just the culture that’s come up around the game. You have to plan how you play if you want to “win” in the first 2 years, but the only thing you get is a few candles lit in your backyard, and you can still “win” in later years if you play more slowly. You absolutely can just plant some stuff around a sprinkler, sleep until they are grown, and do everything you want to do without being at all efficient with it

That would mean convincing republicans to do something that benefits consumers over corporations, so that’s a no go

I’m interested in comparison between the 2 questions. 15% of Republicans think he’s guilty, but 18% approve of the verdict. 86% of democrats think he’s guilty but 88% approve of the verdict. That means that for both parties, there are at least a few people who think he’s not guilty, but regardless approve of him being in legal trouble. I’d like to pick their brains and see what’s up.

Never thought of it that way! What a dystopian world we live in where intelligent conversation dies because there’s no good way to profit off of it.

Well with Navalny as precedent, it seems like they’ll throw him in a gulag rather than kill him

I miss when his videos were just about the records and not the drama surrounding them

They don’t mention it causing turmoil at Xitter, presumably because they are already at maximum turmoil capacity

Well, sure, if your head’s in the sand, you won’t see very much at all

They just want to control people, and to not have any consequences for their own actions

Let her go, ref

Slight correction, he wasn’t assassinated by most of the senate. There were about 60 conspirators out of 200-300, and only a dozen or so actually participated in the assassination (and only 5 actually confirmed to have stabbed him while still alive). Regardless, it’s still true that they came to that conclusion after Caesar was declared dictator for life and started taking away senate power

Let him cook

I think he cares a lot about things that don’t matter. Despite all that orange makeup he still manages to get red in the face on a regular basis.

There was a big issue at the beginning of the school year in August, where a bunch of kids didn’t make it home until like 8 or 9pm. They had to delay the start of school because there weren’t enough drivers. I’m assuming conditions haven’t gotten much better since then.
