Turkmenistan has some amazing propaganda and surprisingly, interesting music on the propaganda channels. Never would want to go there, though.

The fuzzy hat horse sing-along segment goes surprisingly hard? 16:31, pre-stamped:

Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P

Ticks are one species that I hope go extinct. So gross.

The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.

I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it’s the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.

Is it gay to fuck yourself?

Gilgamesh is such a good story. Genuinely a great read thousands of years later. Other amazing ancient books include Dante’s Inferno and Chaucer’s Canterbury tales. The latter of which had stories so hilarious that I was actually on the floor, laughing.

Some humor and epic stories are timeless, even over millennia. :)

Ooof, aquaphor time :/

The person you see switch is a type of shapeshifting monster in The Owl House, a TV series in a Harry Potter-esque world. Nearly hunted to extinction as they can suck the magic out of someone which (may?) kill people, generally persecuted by the enemies in TOH.

Anyways, this one (Vee) is friendly. You can see her magic draining abilities in the clip below (spoilers)

Perhaps it’s ublock Origin disabling the paywall for me, that’s the only thing I have that isn’t bone stock.

It’s like car valet, but they take your bike and store it in a secure location and hand you a slip of paper with a number on it. A person or two guards the secure location. Usually they are pop-ups at major bike junctions for things like university games, major sporting events, big festivals, bike-focused events and ribbon cutting events.

However, cities like Vancouver BC have seasonal ones that run all summer in shopping areas like Granville Island. They essentially prevent bike theft entirely.

Nazis are like invasive weeds. They grow whenever the land is fertile, but are otherwise dormant when the land isn’t conducive to them.

Really? That’s weird, I’m on Firefox and I don’t get a paywall.

Our city is fairly dense, so unfortunately there’s no room to build extra parking or even new roads. We have been forced to get creative, but the benefit is that a lot more people are using bikes and rail now that the city core has bike lanes that can get you just about anywhere. The latest development is that women and children are starting to bike in our city, which is a promising sign for safety (North American city).

Our city is still struggling to marry up mass transit with last mile transit such as bikes, ebikes and other PEVs. The buses and trains are starting to get bike racks that can accommodate modern bikes, but it’s still difficult to find bike lockers or bike valet services downtown, and it’s still too easy to get your bike nicked.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years on this planet, it’s that all animals have souls. Many animals are far more intelligent and self-aware than we give them credit for.

Yep Anita Bryant (US), and iirc, died poor and in obscurity after criticizing gay people.

Hold on, queer sex has to be a lot bigger on this pie chart. Very important!

I’d keep it, it’s a handy form of photo ID, and might be useful when travelling.

I don’t drive as often now that I work remotely and have an ebike, but it’s still good to have for the rare times I do drive.

I really liked mine, it was fucking awesome… but a 5¢ ribbon connector failed (understandable) and Samsung only allows repair places to replace both internal and external screens and the hinge mechanism for $600 (not understandable).

I ended up getting a moto stylus 5g for $250 and threw the fold right into the landfill.

It is excellent for reading the paper, but make sure you get one from a company that allows for repairability. I never abused my phone or even dropped it.

Not all of it. Just this scum.

Just do what we do here, and have like, six parking spots at a beach, and ticket anyone who parks illegally. It encourages bike and bus use :)
