How do you know you aren't smart? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People smart enough to realize how much they don't know are most likely to think that they aren't smart... and it takes a certain level of intelligence to do that.

Newsweek was putting these headlines out for months saying that Harris was ahead, contrary to many other polls. This has been an agenda they're pushing. Something's not right here.

Nothing wrong with being weird! Sometimes we all have to take Chances.

This always assumes that there are no civilian men. I get that men are the ones usually conscripted, but... that's always seemed weird to me.

I was trying to come up with some sick joke about the babies being antisemitic in the eyes of Israel, but I threw up a little bit every time I tried.

And I've got a dark sense of humor, so that's saying something. >.<

How much do we want to bet that someone along the line looked the other way because they believe in being violent towards their kids?

You know, the "spare the rod..." sort. Those people still exist, unfortunately.

Ryan Krzak (YouTube: RWappin), the creator of popular fan music videos for the Weird Al tracks "Albuquerque" and "Everything You Know is Wrong," was hired by Al to animate the "Uptown Funk" segment of his latest release, "Polkamania!." That segment starts at 2:24.

This is similar to how Al liked Jarrett Heather's "Shop Vac" video, and asked him to animate his track "Word Crimes". Jarrett Heather, incidentally, is also in this latest video. He animates the "W.A.P." segment.

The Weird Al-fan dynamic is something more wholesome than can be described. There's a genuine love there.

A Very, Very Old Vegan Poem (Credit: Abu al-‘Ala’ al-Ma’arri) (lemmy.world)
 

Translated to English:

Do not unjustly eat fish the water has given up,

And do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals,

Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught

for their young, not noble ladies.

And do not grieve the unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;

for injustice is the worst of crimes.

And spare the honey which the bees get industriously

from the flowers of fragrant plants;

For they did not store it that it might belong to others,

Nor did they gather it for bounty and gifts.

I washed my hands of all this; and wish that I

Perceived my way before my hair went gray!

Abu al-'Ala' al-Ma'arri (973 - 1057 C.E.)

I love me some vegan cheesesteak, but they do take a while to soak/bake/fry up the "steak" (tofu). I made this one some months back. Calzones also bring me back to my former years of greasy takeaway. What about all of you?
