“Boring” people often have a good time with other “boring” people. So it’s maybe just a case of looking in the wrong places?

Was this some glitch in the matrix, then? (For reference: attack happened on 2024-04-14)

Looks as if someone were training a trolling bot with this account.

I like this one because it for once shows that the ones who do the actual killing don’t take it lightly. They probably know that they will be heavily traumatised after doing such a “job”.

late edit: Also interesting to see where the dehumanising starts. The directors in the bunker have it only on a screen and thus seem so remote that it appears more like a game, making them cheer the same way as if it would be a football match (notice again the contrasting behaviour of the guy flying the surveillance camera). – It’s much the same thing that happens in this very forum here. A good case study into human social dynamics.

Not OP but i just found an answer. Top loaders may have a center agitator which is there to … agitate more – which we don’t want to do.

Any machine that is without a center agitator will be more gentle on clothes and less likely to cause shrinking due to fiber damage and consolidation. If you have a top-loading washer with a center agitator, reduce its impact on your garments by opting for a gentle or hand-wash cycle.

(from the same link that i posted in another comment)

Why does it happen? My first answer, it’s dur to felting which happens mostly with sorts of wool that have a hairs with a scaled surface. Felting (when producing felt) is done by moisturing, heating and heavy agitation, so that the scales interlock at a compressed state and then stay that way.

Search turns up several ways of shrinkage though, for different types of fiber: felting, relaxation, consolidation, and contraction. Interesting to read --> Why Do Clothes Shrink in the Wash?

Seconded. It is sick.

The whole of paleontology/paleo-anthropology has this problem because for remains of organisms to be preserved certain conditions must be met, which is not the case everywhere at any time.

If i would guess, something like: look up “native american dwellings” and “how to make permanent shelters from tree branches”.

Reminds me of a woman i know. She That woman could totally have written this. Basically, our conversation after months is still me trying to learn her that womans language. :-D

Besides all the very interesting comments and links here about the violent history of the area, here’s an answer from one Israeli guy I once asked a similar question. His take was that it is basically a mafiose environment now … “both sides are corrupt to their core” – the religiosity of the people would be abused by profiteers.

I know, and i hope it isn’t seen as rude when i make such corrections “at everyone’s service”.

Much older: Cyndi Lauper, 1986, songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly.

Yes, they are 2-stage bunker-penetrating ammunition. Which, from this perspective, doesn’t seem to be very effective against bridges.

Biological – there are many species of flies, and many of them specialise in the food of their larvae (maggots). A relatively small number of species feed on feces, which are actually quite nutritional for a whole range of organisms. As they may require fresh poop for breeding, they naturally have a very good sense to smell that – it must really smell yummy to them! :-)
Flies are among the first organisms in a chain of decomposers of organic waste materials, next to some species of beetles. Their larvae chiefly feed on the soft and moist material. Next will be fungi, other flies and beetles, mites (probably feeding on the fungi), springtails, isopods, nematodes, etc., all turning your compost into fertilised soil.

Source: biologist, been closely watching my compost toilet (not a sophisticated type where one would go for minimal fly attraction but made for fast fertiliser production).

Metaphorical – well, in a world where greed is acceptable and exploitation is a norm, bad things attract bad actors (who may also be specialised to metaphorically feed on certain bad stuff) – who will profit from such bad things.

This thread inspired me for a short story. ;-) https://sh.itjust.works/post/988447

How sad. It’s 2023 and we got used to watching snuff videos. Anyone remember “Strange Days”?

Real friends know how to mod the droid ;-)

And thanks to all who enlightened me about that blue and green and bubble issue. Hmm. my Telegram indeed is set to a greenish-bubbly theme but that’s a coincidence.

I guess it means the DuckDuckGo Browser?
