Not sure if I should cry or laugh.

In all seriousness though the idea that the past was better financially is objectively false. If you are willing to live by older safety standards and quality then you can live as affordably as you could in the past. Most of us dont want to live like we did in the 1920s though.

While its very unlikely (but very possible) my dream in life would be to witness a supernova.

Last time one was bright enough to see with the naked eye was about 400 years ago. So my chances are slim.

Interesting side note, a supernova is the fastest moving stellar event we can see with our naked eye that we know of. It starts and ends (usually resulting in a nebula) over the course of just weeks to months. Could you imagine seeing a bright light form in the sky out of nowhere, last for months, and then in the end have a beautiful new nebula in its place... my god that would be so cool!

Me: What do you do for a living?

Someone: I am a Naval doctor.

Me: Oh wow, I didnt know belly buttons had their own doctors!

So apparently Biden is Putin’s choice for president over Trump…

“For us, who’s better, Biden or Trump?” Russian TV correspondent Pavel Zarubin asked President Putin.

“Biden,” Vladimir Putin replied in a flash. “He’s more experienced, he’s predictable, he’s an old-style politician.”

Interesting fact of the day. Water will "catch fire" when used on anything over about 2,200 C.

You can observe this if you take red hot metal and dip it in water, you will see flames produced and even explosions.

The reason is because at those temperatures the water disassociates and hydrogen and oxygen is produced that then reignites turning back into water and producing flame.

In fact particularly hot fires can not be extinguished with water as the water will convert into hydrogen so quickly it will literally just cause an explosion.

I wonder if all animals on earth became significantly cuter in response to the existance of humans or not? I mean it makes sense if we are eating the ugly ones more.

It definitely seems from artistis depictions (which are likely wildly inaccurate) to be the case... but who knows.

This is definitely something I would have done back in the 90s

I know I'm doing something right when virtually every single MAGA supporter and extreme leftie hates you and thinks you are the other side of the two.

The day democrats or Republicans start thinking I make sense is the day I need to seriously rethinking my opinions.

#universeodon is now even lying to its own users about #QOTO, and they seem to be getting the hint.

See this post: https://mastodon.acm.org/@LiveByReason@universeodon.com/111931444289540696

My full response to this was the follow:

If you are interested here are direct links so you can see my replies, he is lying about QOTO because we called him out for abusive moderation practices against his own users and now is engaging in a campaign to defame QOTO as a result.

See my reply to you herE: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111931848544933260

Also here is the original thread, that he hid from you, that promoted him to make retaliatory posts against QOTO (keep in mind i did not make this post from QOTO): https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111908751487276074

Also a post of mine pointing out this was in retaliation: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo@qoto.org/111910018732266904

Also as a reference here is one of the many third-party administrators who stepped up to say QOTO absolutely does moderate racist: https://mastodon.acm.org/@Raccoon@techhub.social/111917501785785346

@ech

> if they show he clearly knew and allowed the policy to continue (i.e. before the point where he "circled the wagons" that I mentioned in my other post) I'd love to see it.

I have addressed this twice. It does not, but since this sceme was across multiple properties, at the highest level, and coordinated through every level of the company.

It would be absolutely absurd to think everyone across multiple properties and every level knew about this but somehow it was managed to be kept from Trump.

If that is the argument you are making then you need to prove that, not the other way around.
