Reddit just introduced a very useful feature; you can see where (country) those reading your comments are from.

The Syfy channel is running a movie titled "Tag" and then the next movie up is "Twister."

Because tag is a game (I don't know if the movie is about a game of tag), and because there is also a game called Twister, as I was reading across the schedule line-up, I thought to myself, "they made a movie about (the game) Twister?" temporarily forgetting the movie that I know full well, about tornados.

If only Reddit weren't a complete dumpster fire at this point.

Sea-lioning is a subset of concern trolling. Basically it is a hyperbolic focus on evidence, even in typically informal or otherwise not-evidence-based discussion.
It takes its very web-slang-friendly name from likeness to the attitude of the eponymous (and annoying) character in a comic strip.

So I've seen this meme from time to time, had to look it up, called the :

Two Soyjaks Pointing | Know Your Meme

Two Soyjaks Pointing is an exploitable image of two Soyjaks, with one pointing at an object behind them. Originating from a photograph of two men standing

knowyourmeme.com

something always bugged me as it looks strikingly similar to the poster for Fitzcarraldo:

You should photoshop him in to the meme.

Although what it would make the meme mean is hard to say, since I don't think the film is very well known.

tell me about it...

If we were sea based creatures and created an aquatic civilization instead of one built on land, instead of sealions we'd have landolphins.

Sulfur-crested cockatoos in Sydney have mastered the ability to operate drinking fountains, using their feet and beaks to twist handles and sip water.

Researchers observed the birds with remote cameras, capturing over 500 attempts in 44 days with about 70% of the local flock trying the technique.
Experts say the cockatoos’ social learning and curiosity allow them to thrive in urban environments. Image: Klump et al./ Biology Letters Dist. by: Andrews McMeel Syndication ©MMXXV Earth Environment Service
Scientists believe the cockatoos learned the skill by watching people and each other, turning the activity into both social and playful behaviors.

This fountain-opening skill follows a previous urban innovation by the same birds — lifting garbage bin lids.

Jokes are difficult. Joking in a second language without a non verbal signalling ability is crazy hard.

 

[r16]

the joke is the way people in various positions telling other people not in those positions that there is no joke

on the 14th of July , Tumblr was reportedly out for a while . Am a member but ı prefer to download pictures without logging in . Couldn't . Reasonable assumption is some major aerospace companies are unhappy with the way ı support a 6th generation fighter jet for this country . And that involves not bending to the way the recent Indian Airlines crash happened . Yeah , can't stop you reporting me but like everybody in the big city nearby reportedly thinks ı do get whatever ı desire by adding countries to the initial targeting order . This works with the idea that we have really done things but are logistically limited meaning a definite ceiling to the number of platforms and ordnance . If Romanians come knocking on your door , please understand it was you yourself .

this you won't believe at all . So , obviously Tumblr is fighting AI companies scooping things from the web without paying , so , they are blocking IP adresses that download a lot . One day , even this forum will discover people grudgingly respect the evil Turks for the the paths out of the maze for free .

 

[r16]

it is another r16 is a traitor day . Must have invented something ; America has the same capability . Anger or hate that New Turkey doesn't ; simply because these people have been made to believe the world is theirs to take . Mucn like the ever reported qualities of young people anywhere anytime , they want it all without working for it at all .

this presumably involves the space thread thing about using satellites to hit other objects in space . That's the whole thing about Starlink or the Chinese system that will have even more tiny satellites , numbering thousands . Hides dedicated interceptors in numbers that will help attrition when even normal satellites that otherwise provide internet services become projectiles on their own . It is likely that nobody will be able to go to space for a decade or two after a normal WW lll . Like New Turkey was supposed to hit the Moon with a heavy landing sometime back , right ? See , New Turkey has the capacity , after paying Elon Musk a bit or two , to hit a celestial object . Which they covered with a notion that the Chinese have not given them data on how the IRBM engines work in vacuum and stuff . Like do not follow r16 , do not talk about things you don't understand . How many times have you seen me as a cricket critic ?

for those who are really new here , ı have become the Goldstein of a regional part of the 1984 that covers my country . And for all my reputation , nobody has yet managed to put me on anything country wide , because that would have given me "power" as anyone who hated the local football club would have started to support me after the impression that the fans were against me and so on . As such when the second son-in-law of the PM gets attacked online country-wide , the 1984 comes city wide and says r16 is a traitor because if America knows a system , Israel does too , in consideration of some next war . Only for the city nearby so that the impact should be minimal . Like because Elon Musk has Twitter and the second son-in-law inevitably works to become an equal , Trump has Truth Social and why shouldn't the PM , that they regularly sell personal data of all sorts from the citizens of this country and a la la land is easier to implement if the Party faithful are concentrated in some isolated digital venue , the second-son-in-law of the PM starts a local and national social media platform , 100% New Turkey made . Except it is based on Mastadon which is free software and all you have to do is mentioning the brand somewhere . When that didn't happen , Mastadon parent company very visibly called the New Turkey company to contact them with a PM . Second son-in-law of the PM has all the money in the Defence budget , he could have licensed something and claimed it was 100% original , as he is supposed to be a top tier code writer or whatever . And like there are always the claims that his drones are not that original ; this is the biggest slip he might have done as of yet . Or provided by the second son of the PM or the first son-in-law of the PM , the others in the reported 3 way race go become the crown prince . That's why of r16 is a traitor today ...

 

[r16]

ah , but that's not funny .

Spoiler :

we were at r16 telling town people that they were in error and what they claimed to be my treason had been already put into plans even if they haven't crashed a rocket thing on the Moon yet . Of course everybody without the context gets offended . Thus it was a r16 will be dead next week day . The top , though goes to the kid . Learning to ride a bicycle and maybe next year . He must have seen it from some older kids he knows . Approach the target at high speed , slide bodily with leaning to the opposide , both wheels on target side , the target might even have to jump ; GREAT FUN ! Except he was slow and 2 , even 3 meters away . Either it is Plan B or he was quick to improvise . Crying , like as if ı crashed him by the Dark Side of the Force . That didn't pan out either . Have not raised a kid , maybe ı am the wrong person to say this , but , hey , kid , your mother will still love you 15 or 20 years later , if you fail to learn such stunts are pointless and you don't have to impress people who are like on your side and stuff . Streets are filled with weirdos and so on , you can come across actual danger . No , ı don't think he picked me , an Admiral of the Starfleet to show me my place . Like he is too small to ever have heard of me . It will be a service to other families as well , talking to the older kids who have impressed him into such stunts , too .

so , here ı am , minding my own business and right there , a new buzz . Turns out we date back to 1600s ? Like , you don't say ? If people of the big city nearby were to use their phones for stuff instead of daily r16 watch , they would have deduced that's ground work for linking things to Sabetay Sevi , the would be Messiah who was ground down to size in just 6 weeks , after the Padishah was amused enough and told him the Porte would have his head if he didn't behave . This in return will lead to Israeli ethnic cleansing thing in Gazze and the hate it produces by intent and will end up in anybody in this country not looking like an Arab dead . Yeah , the people of the big city nearby , this means you . You might hate me as you like but there are conspiracies in this world and there are people who hate us enough to kill you , too . Or instead . Pretty sure you would be offended while they were crushing your head with a rock ... From this , one can deduce the Israeli failure to get the 3rd country invaded by America , you know , after Iraq and Syria , causes immense stress in the 4th country which is like busy making peace with seperatists . The latter of course have no confidence in their partners after the experience of 2015 where like 10 000 of them were eventually buried into the trenches they had dug in towns and USAF jets were flying over them to bomb ISIL , like to save them from jihadists or something .

and pretty sure this would not have happened if you were not following me reading some wikipedia page on some Japanese ambrassador to Spain in 1600 something . There are things in life other than r16 , you know ... Like when are you going to hold me directly responsible for Pearl Harbour , you dear Americans who are having fun mocking the city nearby ?

I just dislike fantasy races where a race is just a real-world animal head on top of a humanoid body. So unimaginative. Lazy

Thoughts on Orcs?

Orcs are clearly not human. Does that make them animals?
