The worminess is part of it, I’ve seen people not engage with the text, or reframe an argument. What cowbee does is avant guarde, bespoke, couture communism apologia. This place is his canvas and his words are his art. If you told me he was just a performative communist banksy, I would believe you.

Cowbee is harmless. Chronically online weirdo who will answer a question you didn’t ask with 15 cited paragraphs from 4 books, 2 articles, and 3 papers. All of it perfect. It’s honestly as impressive as it is weird and sad. Site would be significantly less interesting without em.

So mental break, got it, thanks!

Is this a social experiment, or are you having a mental break?

Ummmm… does anyone else see this as a dangerous escalation?

The quality and quantity of voice actors has exploded, there are still plenty of places that cheap out, but the baseline level of voice acting in dubbing now is barely even comparable to 15 years ago.

Finding decent dubs used to be a needle in a haystack with big studio money required, you can name them all off on one hand, the OP did later on in the thread. Now it’s almost the opposite!

There’s also a shift in western, especially American, voice acting away from subtle emotional performances to the emotive and excitement filled performances of the Japanese voice actors too. It’s a few things right now.

This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

It’s life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.

Is this the same piece of shit who whined like a baby that David Hogg made him feel bad?

He should be sitting on a little pile of totenkopfs. Blackwaters finest.

I dunno, maybe don’t avoid foia to get your grants back up and running. Whataboutism is truly unhelpful when someone is committing a federal foia related crime. The people violating foia from this admin should also be prosecuted.

I would even argue it would have been a net positive to the world to keep the funding going. But don’t commit a crime to then go ahead and do that. The kickback thing is dumb, the time they want is crazy, but his lawyer is gonna make short work of that, and he gets pardoned by the next guy.

Maybe next time don’t purposefully try to evade foia?

You can see it now very clearly. The meta is massive blocks of text with a dozen citations that must take an incredible amount of time to create, or are being assisted by an LLM. If you don’t reply to doubt or trolling with 10,000 words, you ain’t really communist.

They’ve created a Facebook Christian type prosetylization communication style that is both super comfy to members and even more isolating to outsiders. Your knowledge must be doctoral level.

It looks like when bones of the moon would post the sovereign citizen shit. Then if you even slightly call it out you get modded off. So these posts are just paragraphs and paragraphs of replies full of citations replying to deleted comments. It’s crazy to see how the echo chamber has progressed over time.

The level of cope in this article directed towards the business class is legendary.

Two warships that only turned on their identification system at the end of their route during a ceasefire and still got turned away is a pretty far cry from an “insurance kicking in” situation for global shipping.

His entire OG staff is evaporating and he’s letting them rip pieces off the boat they helped him build to do so. I honestly wish I could never see this dude’s face or hear his voice again, but his slop is so ubiquitous it’s impossible to escape.

But Zip Tie Tech is a fun channel that’s come from the ashes of LTTs reputation.

3M discovered a verifiable force field and there has been no civilian research since, huh…

My conspiracy brain is telling me this is already in full scale use in government applications at a super secret level. Development is probably being done by L3 or NG type contractor in a lab in the desert.

That’s incredible.

That’s funny, you are like opposite me.

There are a lot of exceptions, Morrells are actually one of the few mushrooms that can kill you or make you very ill if you don’t cook them long enough, so I wouldn’t even call them exceptions. They still require knowledge and prep. That includes chicken of the woods which can be dangerous depending on which tree it’s growing on.

Oyster mushrooms on the west coast of the US are a fair bet, someone in this same thread made a good list, but it’s regional. A high percentage of the poisonings in California (Australia too as I understand it) used to be SE Asians who mistook them for paddy-straw mushrooms. A lot of these articles are saying that it’s more wide spread this time because of “naive” people harvesting. I hope it’s not like food insecure people trying to fill caloric gaps…

There are plenty of amateurs who rise to the ranks of expert, but the consequences of error can be very high. I recommend anyone who wants to harvest to learn to spore print as part of identification. Harvesting any wild edibles requires a lot of research, mushrooms topping that list by a fair margin.

Soooo… just every McDonald’s all the time then.

It’s a very good movie. I am a non markiplier fan who went to the movie because my markiplier fan friend wanted to see it. Holy shit was i glad I went with him, cause this movie is legitimately good.

After having had a week to reflect on it, I think the main problem was markiplier’s acting. I think he must be an excellent director and producer, there’s no reason he needs to act as well. The movie plays like a 2 hour cut scene in a good way. The bits of world building made me want more, made me want to play the game to seek it out. This was successful both as a stand-alone movie and as an advertisement for the game.

It punches above its budget as well imo. Aside from some janky visuals at the beginning, once you’re inside the vehicle with Markiplier, it feels big. It doesn’t feel like you are trapped in personal sized submarine the whole time at all.

His social media is very political, he’s on bluesky.

Ahh, yeah good call.
