eggcoining "beckons the question" to further stir the pot

it is very telling that “BIOS”, in addition to being an acronym, is also the Greek word for “life”. meanwhile, “UEFI” is, of course, ancient Greek for “unified extensible firmware interface”

Night Wars

It's simple. Just announce the war is over every morning before the stock market opens. Then right after it closes double down with threats of an even bigger, longer war.

Just do this every day forever. The war and the market siloed off in two alternating realities that never meet.

oh shit. did the domestication of the dog allow for rabies to emerge

08.03.2026 16:58 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

rabies had to have emerged after the domestication of the dog. there's no way people would have kept wolves of that thing was around.

[Mitch Hedberg voice] they say that women hold up half the sky, it's true—but they hold up the other half too.
