Because if it wasn't Gaza, it would have been another excuse to not lift a lazy goddamned finger and still delude themselves into feeling "morally superior"while sitting on their fat mediocre asses at home.

Before Harris, they also leaned heavily on the "Sleepy Joe" bullshit and "two old white men up for election, who cares". Once the old "Sleepy Joe" element was removed from the equation, they had to find a way to keep their goddamned stubbornly lazy and ignorant narrative intact.

Now that the election is over, most of these "concerned and outraged" deadweight assholes will never think about Gaza and the plight of its' people again. And they will keep on feeling smug about themselves.

For a moment there, I thought the younger people of America had in them the capacity to do the obvious righteous thing, and to banish the demons once and for all.
The younger people of America have shown what they are made of, and never again will I overestimate them.

Because... Palestine? Or buttery males? Or because they will grab onto any excuse to sit on their lazy asses instead of voting, and that impulse to do nothing intensifies with a female presidential candidate?

Yes, it is retarded. Almost to the goddamned Middle Ages in some respects. And its' younger generations are just as stunted and stupid as the boomers they howl against. The deaf and blind screaming at the deaf and blind.

I'm sure that fascism over here, will fix Palestine over there!

I'm also sure that if it wasn't because of Palestine or buttery males or whatever else, the non-voters would have found another excuse to not vote... for a... (gasp)... woman presidential candidate!

They've done it before and they'll fucking do it again.
All these young new potential voters! A fresh wave of idiot!

Because so many people in the United States have elected to stab themselves - and EVERYONE else along with them - with a rusty knife, out of ignorant rage and lazy ignorance.

Didn't The French Connection also begin with cops in disguise, too?
I seem to remember it, but it also feels like my memory could be playing tricks on me.

The Oakland sports situation has been a circus since the 80s, I remember a guy back then with a t-shirt that said:

~~Oakland~~
~~Los Angeles~~
El Segundo
R A I D E R S

You guys deserve so much better.

Doesn't matter, do NOT let your guard down for even an instant until after you have gone and voted Democrat, the only effective vote in the current volatile and dangerous environment.

Ron Howard's voice: "He didn't".

Meanwhile, the lazy mediocre deadweights of democracy:
bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe

Impervious to fact, to reason, to empathy. Enamored of the scent of their own flatulences. Which just happen to be the exact same scent as those from republican, kremlin and chinese troll farms. What a coincidence, eh?

Then the sun develops a fungal infection, and don't scratch that itchy rash, it'll only make it worse.

 

This all seems as exotic or esoteric to us now as these invisible electromagnetic waves were to Heinrich Hertz, who reportedly regarded them as mere scientific curiosities with no practical applications.

Unable to foresee radio, television, telephones, remote controls, microwave ovens, Wifi, Bluetooth... you get the point, that "thing with no practical applications" is now a staple of daily life, and all around us. We have fully tamed Electromagnetism.

Now with things like Quantum Computing and Bose-Einstein Condensates, we are starting to tame a new esoteric scientific curiosity - the probability wave function, the Uncertainty Principle.

Heinrich Hertz did not foresee things like satellite television and Spotify while looking for a spark flying across two metal tips from his dark room in the 1880s, but surely we have a better grasp of what potential benefits the newest technologies have in store for humanity?
Or are we for the most part still in the Hertz-like naive fiddling process?

Either way, there is going to be some incredible magic inside that quantum box!

 

For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

 

In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron.

Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black.

Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?

 

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
