Not nearly same level as that Banger but Archie comics spent decades referencing the band The Archie's and their Billboard no. 1 hit Sugar, Sugar and got so many fans writing in to ask where to get the song that they created a studio band called the Archies, released Sugar Sugar and it went to No. 1

If it wasn't for the French, the USA wouldn't exist. The only good thing is that the USA are such a bunch of ingrates that they tie themselves into knots to sneer at the people who bled white to get them the freedom to shot each other in high schools.

One of the advantages, if you want to call it that, of having information of your own that you can check on Large Language Models, is that you quickly understand how badly they get what you know wrong, and if they get that wrong, what are they getting wrong that you DON'T know about?

Once, an old, mean and scarred killer taught me that to hate is beautiful. It is the warmth that fights the cold, the light that dispels the dark and the force that drives your heart to beat long after the last drops of your blood lay in the dust. In many ways, he was right and just as many wrong.

I also don't think the Democratic Party has it in them, tbh. Maybe they'll win anyway, maybe I'll be proven wrong. But there are very, VERY few elected Democrats who really seem to hate Trump and his cronies.

I don't like putting it this way, but everyone needs to learn how to hate. It was great when we didn't have to, and could imagine it was all a civil debate. But that's donezo; survival of democracy requires treating its enemies with just raw contempt, rage, scorn, and yes, hatred.

A stunning Black nonbinary creative makes profoundly queer, musically and artistically catchy but also layered albums and the culture and media barely act like anything happens. A couple of white artists talk about Dykey Things though, and you'd think they threw the first damn brick themselves

The mold that grows on the outside of fermented meats is similar to the mold that grows on cave aged soft cheeses. Prosciutto and salami are not simple techniques nor is their storage dissimilar to cheese.

They want mental endurance and neuroplasticity so they can successfully rebuild people into soldiers. So, young and poor is a good start. Better if they are motivated enough to want more and are smart enough to either not commit crimes or not get caught. L

Yes, but the process of making soldiers kind of destroys the person and rebuilds them into someone else. Same way fine salami is made. The process is why militaries prefer kids, more neuroplasticity to help them heal after the tearing down and rebuilding. And the focus on soldiers mental well-being.

And they are aware of human limitations to the point that they will take people with ASD and ADHD if that person is pursuing a specific field that the military knows they will succeed at. They avoid people who are a certain type of fragile, and hunt for kids who have already survived adversity.

This is literally the same shit the Nazis did before industrializing murder. They would get soldiers to just shoot people into pits. They sent Jews en masse via train to camps to starve and die. It was disgusting in the 40s and it's disgusting now.

Which is why I believe areas of extreme poverty are tolerated. Maintains the pool of desperate, hardened and motivated smart kids for the meat grinder. Well fed kids are unlikely to tolerate the "unification through shared opposition" that is the military method of building cohesion.
