Change of plans, we're romancing the werewolf mechanic

imagining members of polycules being sent to form relationships with other polycules for political reasons, much like royals being married off to each other

Tesla, swatting

Why don't tech bros or other "visionaries" ever unveil the bus of the future in big events?

The bus requires virtually no additional infrastructure, can have its routes organically changed and is relatively affordable.

I am all for transportation infrastructure investment in the US in trains and light rail but the bus is a solution that can be implemented better right now.

I want to see what a future bus looks like, not what some insecure man's need to take up space and waste gas looks like.

The only time I was punished for anything related to shoplifting is when I was the one who lifted!

And considering this only happened to me *once*, despite me stealing almost daily from almost all of my jobs, tells you that this is straight-up bullshit

Like these people really must be naive enough to think lifting is this rare and unexpected thing, lmao. If someone got fired *every time* something was stolen, there would be exactly 0 retail workers anywhere in the world

This is not to erase the existence of contemporary Yiddish speaking communities, but those communities are so isolated from even the rest of the Jewish people, and so conservative, that despite the fact that those traits enabled them to keep Yiddish as a living language—that the rest of us must take the initiative if we want to be a part of Yiddish culture.

Why do I spend so much time creating free high quality printable materials of old Yiddish texts and music, using open source tools?

Because I think that such materials and tools must be available to everyone—not just those privileged with academic access—if we want to bridge the chasm created between us and our ancestors by the Holocaust and the era of assimilation, and effect a Yiddish cultural revival in our Diaspora.

someone we know was like "polycule and molecule sound the same" and then asked 'what is the chemical formula of your polycule' and holy shit. what a question.
