Governments are usually inhabited by older folks, that aren’t too tech savvy.

Ah. Well both on crack obviously.

Hope he sees his brother soon.

I thought that guy died? ->confused yurpean

Well if it’s about fossilized shit, you should use the username ‘coprolite’

The Netherlands use to have voting machines, yet they were replaced by God old paper in 2009.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

• the declaration of independence

I was going to joke that they must’ve left the girl alone by mistake, as I interpreted ‘leaving alone’ in the ‘they didn’t bother her’ way.

But they left her literally alone on the streets to fend for her own.

Swiggety swooty

Cop Land.

I didn’t have Sly Stallone outacting Robert Deniro as a possibility, but then that movie happened.

Thnx!

Anyone can tl;dw this?

There is some etymological debate on the subject. Some sources say they were ground to a paste and administered for diuretic effect, the same as the flower.

However it’s not a common bit of knowledge or myth, so some etymologists say that the weird has formed in Dutch separately to French.

The Computer Game museum is pretty cool

Whenever I read that word I imagine extra emphasis and an index finger thrust skywards.

Yea and I’m whining a bit over it’s execution. I mean I got the joke, but instead of attacking the authors’ censorship of the word ‘death’ I chose something else to nitpick about.

It’s funny to me how controversial pointing out that a graph sucks seems to be.

My point exactly

So that’s why the time scale for the titanic sinking is wider? Could’ve used a bar chart

Yes and how much time did it take them to die?and how much real estate on the time scale did it cover?

Look at the time scale. The deaths of the 1912 sinking are taking about thrice the time to die and microsecond implosion took all year of 2023, if the time scale is too be believed.

It’s just how graphs work

aside from the self censorship, that graph doesn’t make sense at all
