No it’s definitely the latter

There are enzymes in your saliva that actually dry your lips further when you lick them

Could be a compact tape measure

I was mistaken, the original nickelodeon was a movie theater where admission that costed a nickel. For some reason I had the impression of a machine like this that took nickels.

Ah yes, the original nickelodeon

It sounds like you’re speaking from experience

But also, since you’ve been so pleasant and asked so nicely,

A single molecule of water is not wet but as soon as more than one molecule is present the water is then wet. If there are a substantial number of molecules, then you have the substances that we know as water and ice.

The molecules themselves also are not solid or liquid, that has to do with the behavior of the molecules in dimensional space. At the level of everyday language, we are talking about substances, and generally when we refer to water we are talking about it as a liquid substance.

Most liquid substances you could easily mix with water are themselves water-based and therefore would be totally dried up into a powder or perhaps a jelly without their water content. To add water is to make them wet, and then they exist as a wet incorporated substance. In fact, they could not dry up if they were not wet in the first place; to become dry is to transition away from the state of being wet.

You know what else dries up? Water.

I stand by what I said? Just letting you know that I did so in a playful manner. Go troll somewhere else pls thx.

lmfao if you took this seriously I’m sorry for you but also gfy

As for YouTube theres alternative frontends like newpipe and invidious. Haven’t used them myself though.

Can’t recommend a phone but I had a great experience with swappa if you’re in the US and open to something used. There’s a couple flip phones listed.

Yeah I figured, I’ve seen a lot of accurate accounts of history get derided as being “tankie” or worse without any legitimate challenge to what was said. It’s such a powerful thought-terminating cliche around here that I almost never venture into the .world-sphere anymore.

Fair enough, I was only looking at the dates and lining them up with the limited Russian history I am familiar with. I mean the alternative was still potentially complete Nazi occupation of Poland, if those lines weren’t drawn (Of course it’s a foregone conclusion that the Nazis were going to invade Poland) or to go to war with the Nazis and Poland as the battlefield in hopes of ending up with full Russian occupation, but I guess the distinction is important. I don’t claim to be an expert though, feel free to correct me or expand upon anything I’m missing.

Edit: also the Russians didn’t invade until 16 days after the Nazis did, when Poland was already effectively defeated. Again, feel free to fill in the blanks. Cause to me it seems to me that the pact served as reassurance that the Nazis would stop their invasion at the line drawn, so that Russia could allow the invasion to play out (on the off chance of a Polish victory); rather than invading simultaneously and practically guaranteeing Polish defeat; without risking all of Poland becoming Nazi territory.

I think this is why certain games very much overwhelm and overstimulate me. Luckily it’s a time sink that I don’t really need to have in my life anyways, beyond random occasions when I find something that pulls me in.

You don’t “know” shit, you just made that up to feel smart. Water as a substance is fucking wet, and before you challenge me you should know that we both have the same disorder.

1939? You mean when Poland was being occupied by the Nazis? Also, everything up to 1907 would have been done under the empire that was toppled by the Russian revolution in 1917. The formation that resulted is the one that poland would have been attacking in 1921, before they had officially formed the USSR in 1922, which altogether was dissolved 35 years ago in 1991. You realize geopolitics is about more than just monolithic masses of land?

Well yeah, they took a job to basically run around and terrorize immigrants all day like its cowboys and indians. Can’t imagine that attracts a very high caliber individual, and the administration sure as hell isn’t turning anyone away.

Yeah that tracks

The people who stand to lose the most in a situation will always act with the highest clarity and urgency. It’s true in general that we must save ourselves and can’t expect the ruling classes of other nations to step in to stop even the highest crime against humanity.

At the end of the day, the global ruling class is self-interested and only acts against that when there comes to be very few alternatives. That said, the discontent around the world is growing and it’s only a matter of time until it reaches a tipping point.

As for the non-west, nobody wants to start a war or draw the ire of the west without having much capacity to change what is happening. That’s my speculative opinion, at least. At this point I’d ask someone more knowledgeable on global politics to chime in.

no more fake than October 7th
