Seems logical that he would use a green screen whether he was in Ukraine or not. Very start of an invasion doesn't feel like a great time to be broadcasting your exact location. Also maybe not a great time to be doing outtakes in the o

Perhaps a map of the world with a timeline slider at the bottom. The map would need clickable bubbles which are larger or smaller relative to the significance of the event. Zoom out for a smaller number of more significant global events. Zo

I'm a big proponent of this method. I do the same thing several times each winter in my car using an empty parking lot. Practice feeling comfortable sliding and recovering so you don't have a bad reflex and overcorrect. Absolutely

Nevermind the risk of a student stealing the gun from the armed guard, or the risk of the armed guard going through a rough divorce and deciding to go postal themselves. The latter really scares me as a teacher. Imagine what the security gu

I desperately hope you're right. I would love for their to be aliens (who aren't immediately trying to wipe us out). I suspect that you're wrong though. And when I dig through your comment history, I see a bright, well-spoken

This is a pretty cynical take on the issue. There are definitely power-trippers who are attracted to these roles. But there are also people who just want to facilitate a nice community and enjoy their little corner of the internet while mak

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan lays bare the naive optimism and ignorance behind belief in alien UFOs. Aliens would be the greatest discovery in man's history. There would simply be no way to suppress it. If they can indeed be c

If they send one to you, would you consider sending one to me?

Jon Ronson has written several incredible books that all qualify as Gonzo Journalism. The only one I didn't like very much was the one about the adult film industry. The Psychopath Test So You've Been Publicly Shamed Them: Advent

Super easy. I took Imodium for a couple of days at the 3 month mark for some very minor digestive symptoms. The "worst" part of quitting Sublocade so far was the one day, also around 3 months, when I felt a little tired and my emo

Congrats on making it through and getting the injection. I did Suboxone for a couple years, the Sublocade injection for a few more, and then I stopped my Sublocade ~5 months ago. My total clean time is almost 7 years now. I wish more people

My wife doesn't like video games. if I sat her down to play Obra Dinn, she would hate video games forever with no hope of reform. Obra Dinn was an incredible work of art, but it's not accessible by any definition of the word. I d

I think maybe it depends how you define shit posting. If you mean trolling or posting extremely negative and low-effort content, then I suppose I agree with you about it being toxic. But if shitposting is just off-color jokes or talking abo

Reminds me of (and may be related to) hybristophilia - when a person has a sexual interest in those who commit heinous crimes. The Wikipedia page for this phenomenon is pretty interesting. Particularly the "causes" and "histo
