1·3 months agoAt around 13, with no experience outside knowing how to ride a bike, attempted a 6 foot BMX bike jump, the kind with a near-verticle lip. After two bailed attempts, I committed to MORE SPEED on the third try. I went straight up, couldn’t position the bike forward, and fell directly backward onto my unhelmeted head and back onto packed dirt and gravel. Always kind of felt dumber, slower after that day
0·6 months agoThere was a really good video clip of a protestor in 2020, paraphrased: “we came out to protest, then the cops started hitting our heads with batons. we started wearing helmets, so they gassed us. We started bringing masks, so they attack us. Now we bring shields and they call them weapons. Someone is escalating this, but it’s not us”.
Basically, any evidence that you plan to defend yourself gives the cops, in their mind, cause to attack. Since you planned to defend yourself. Except fire. Cops are scared as fuck of fire.
15·6 months agoMy favorite bit of bear lore is the etymology of the word “bear”
spoiler
The English word “bear” comes from Old English bera and belongs to a family of names for the bear in Germanic languages, such as Swedish björn, also used as a first name. This form is conventionally said to be related to a Proto-Indo-European word for “brown”, so that “bear” would mean “the brown one”.[1][2] However, Ringe notes that while this etymology is semantically plausible, a word meaning “brown” of this form cannot be found in Proto-Indo-European. He suggests instead that “bear” is from the Proto-Indo-European word *ǵʰwḗr- ~ *ǵʰwér “wild animal”.[3] This terminology for the animal originated as a taboo avoidance term: proto-Germanic tribes replaced their original word for bear—arkto—with this euphemistic expression out of fear that speaking the animal’s true name might cause it to appear.[4][5] According to author Ralph Keyes, this is the oldest known euphemis

If you mean top right, it seems like that’s the #1 pussy getter
4·10 months agoBeing aware of it is the first step. It’s the same rush you get from cursing when in pain, or punching a pillow/wall when you’re upset. The flood of anger, especially righteous anger, can be it’s own reinforcement. Stop giving yourself that stimulation. You’ll feel agitated and restless, but you need to break the habit. Substitute a different habit. Check out cute animal videos from The Dodo, or enjoy some Primitive Technology, or watch some Veg Village recipe videos.

Loot is obviously a reference to Melinda Gates/whoever divorced
I’d say so much billionaire content because our society pays a lot of attention to billionaires. It’s not like we have Royals anymore. Wealth/power fantasies.
13·11 months agoWhy is Maduro invading the energy drinks?
Due to US sanctions against Venezuela, they had to close the Panera Bread in Caracas. The only way Maduro can get the lemonade that kills people is by going next door to Guyana
You’re thinking of Guarana. Venezuela is trying to annex Guano

9·1 year agoWhen my wyze vacuum starts up, it loudly robotically says “starting cleaning” and wherever my dog is in the house, she flings herself directly at the vacuum in a frothing rage and follows it around the house trying to bite its spinning brush for corners. Whenever I say “starting cleaning”, my dog goes for the vacuum too
