https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kult_%28role-playing_game%29 - The default backdrop of Kult is modern-day real-life larger cities; players taking the roles of contemporary multi-genre protagonists, such as private investigators and femme fatales, vigilantes and drug dealers, artists and journalists, or secret agents and mad scientists. In the game, however, all this and the entire world we see, is an "illusion" held together by a monotheistic belief which is unravelling to reveal a darker backdrop where nightmarish monsters lurk, called "reality" in the game.

William Erwin Walker, also known as Erwin M. Walker and Machine Gun Walker (October 6, 1917 − October 7, 2008)[2] was an American police employee and World War II army veteran who is remembered for a violent series of thefts, burglaries, and shootouts with police in Los Angeles County, California, in 1945 and 1946, one of which resulted in a fatality.[3][4] The film He Walked by Night was loosely based on Walker's 1946 crime spree.

This is actually real. Scientists just shrug it off because it sounds wild but if someone truly believes that they have conceived a puppy, that will affect reality. It's not just psychology like the material sciences would have you think, there's objective metaphysical ripples from this. Death for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if there were maybe cancerous growths in the womb or naval area, maybe in the shape of a dog. We don't know because no one wants to risk looking like a fool seriously trying to verify puppy pregnancy. But this is how reality works.

"Perfidious Albion" is a pejorative phrase used within the context of international relations diplomacy to refer to alleged acts of diplomatic sleights, duplicity, treachery and hence infidelity (with respect to perceived promises made to or alliances formed with other nation states) by monarchs or governments of the UK (or England prior to 1707) in their pursuit of self-interest.

Robert Surcouf (12 December 1773 – 8 July 1827) was a French privateer who operated in the Indian Ocean between 1789 and 1801, and again from 1807 to 1808, capturing over 40 prizes. He later amassed a large fortune as a ship-owner, from privateering, commerce,[1] and illegal slave trade,[2] and as a landowner.[3]
When a British captive officer taunted Surcouf with the words "You French fight for money while we fight for honour", Surcouf replied "Each of us fights for what he lacks most".

>Ridicule is a 1996 French period drama film directed by Patrice Leconte and starring Charles Berling, Jean Rochefort, Fanny Ardant and Judith Godrèche. Set in the 18th century at the decadent court of Versailles, where social status can rise and fall based on one's ability to mete out witty insults and avoid ridicule oneself, the film's plot examines the social injustices of late 18th-century France, in showing the corruption and callousness of the aristocrats.

>Progeria is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at a very early age.[6] Progeria is one of several progeroid syndromes.[7] Those born with progeria typically live to their mid-teens to early twenties.[8][9] It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation and is rarely inherited, as carriers usually do not live to reproduce children. Although the term progeria applies, strictly speaking, to all diseases characterized by premature aging symptoms, it is often used specifically in reference to Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).

>A reborn doll is an art doll created from a manufactured doll or kit that has been transformed by an artist to resemble a human infant with as much realism as possible. The process of creating a reborn doll is referred to as reborning and the doll artists are referred to as reborners. Reborn dolls are also known as lifelike dolls or reborn baby dolls.
>Some consumers of reborn dolls use them to cope with their grief over a lost child (a memory reborn), or as a portrait doll of a grown child.[10] Others collect reborns as they would regular dolls. These dolls are sometimes played with as if they are an infant.[10] Critics debate whether reborn dolls are harmful, or whether these dolls can help in the grieving process.[5][11] Because of their realistic appearance, reborn dolls have occasionally been mistaken for real babies and "rescued" from parked cars after being reported to the police by passers-by.

So in her case she got a lot of attention from linguists and scientists as a "natural experiment" in child-development
and so if she had remained in their hands, they probably would have given a lot of priority to her
but instead she went with her mom, foster homes and institutions. where she was just another problem child
so it seems like it would have been better for both science and her well-being if she had remained a "science experiment". idk maybe the wiki article is just biased in that direction

>Hell Joseon, Hell Chosun or Hell Korea (Korean: 헬조선) is a satirical South Korean term that became popular around 2015. The term is used to criticize the socioeconomic situation in South Korea. It is particularly popular among younger Koreans, due to their feelings about unemployment and working conditions in modern society.
>The phrase is a mixture of the words "Hell" and "Joseon", meaning that "(South) Korea is a hellish, hopeless society". Although the term began with private individuals on the internet, it was later adopted by the mass media.

Hey, I was reading the exact same article a couple weeks ago. I got fascinated by the Great Lakes canal system, seawaymax ships, ships lost to storms in the Great Lakes, that kind of thing. I find it interesting how many ships in the Lakes are so big that that's all the area they'll ever traverse–they're too big to fit through the canals. Or the ships that are just big enough to go intracanal, but too big to be seawaymax. It surprises me that there's that much intrashipping on the lakes. If you look at shipping trackers, it seems like the most active is a ferry that takes you straight across Superior. I was also reading a bunch of Army Corps of Engineers studies arguing AGAINST expanding the canals, which I found interesting. I think it's the first time I've ever seen a government report say, "Actually, more money on this might not be the wisest." I wonder how lake freight traffic around the lakes compares with rail freight traffic on a yearly basis.

a lot of raw materials come from the western/northern side of the lake area, so I guess it makes sense that those materials be shipped across the lakes to the more-populated areas along the southern/eastern sides.

It isn't always so clear cut about childlessness. A lot of the time it was just seen as "Who will support the succubi if men don't marry them?" or just a pure Machiovellian cash grab. Only in Roman times and rather recently in the Soviet bloc and former Soviet countries has it been about childlessness. You have to remember that most of human history has been rather Malthusian. I think this is important because if people who read that solely see it as
historically a pro-natalistic measure then it gives it far more legitimacy as a tenable measure then it really deserves to be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus
I got rather interested in reading Wikipedia articles on rather basic stuff on other planets in the solar system. Mainly because of the music thread about how weird the ambient EM sounds from Jupiter/Saturn are. I stopped on Uranus for a while because:
1 - Just how completely featureless its surface is. Look at the attached picture. Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. That's an enormous amount of surface area, and not a single feature. That just seems rather unbelievable. Jupiter has its pale red dot. Saturn has hexgonal poles. Neptune has its own dot and storm. Uranus has its axial tilt and weird rings, sure, but on the surface? Nothing.
2 - The surface gravity is lower than Earths, but the rest of the article keeps saying there's no surface, but does keep saying there's ice/an ocean. I'm curious about whether it's possible to send a probe in.
3 - There's a lot of hints that Uranus is crazy old compared to the rest of the planets. It's like it gives the allure that "It was made by the ancient ones" or something.
4 - The EM field and axial tilt is wack.
It's name is unfortunate, however. It feels like you can't really have any serious discussions about it just because of its name.

You can see the banding but it's only visible in infrared. I guess whatever gas it is diffuses a lot of visible light. Apparently because one hemisphere is more consistently lit the methane in circulation in that hemisphere is energized enough to rise high in the atmosphere, and that's what causes the hazing visible to our eyes.
The axial tilt produces unusual weather, because our understanding of seasonal weather involves the Sun energizing both hemispheres, which only occurs in parts of Uranus' orbit. The other problem is a seasonal year there lasts 84 years, so we've only really been observing the atmosphere for a single Uranian year.

There are Chinese tourists everywhere. I'm pretty sure those cities just exist because it's cheaper for an average Chinese family to travel an hour outside of Beijing than go all around the world on a vacation. Also keeps more capital flowing within China.

I honestly can't believe these exist. This reminds me of a few years ago when someone finally convinced me that narwhals actually exist. I mean, in my defense, when I heard about narwhals for the first time it was after I heard about unicorns, so I was immediately so skeptical that I didn't believe that they existed.

I find the history pretty interesting. How it's a policy that communists and fascists both agreed on is surprising. And if you read inbetween the lines you can see how a lot of the history of oppression against bachelors was essentially born out of a fear that they were homos. They never said as much, but all of the moral panics appear to be laced with that fear.

Is that picture you posted him and his mother? If so, he doesn't look unkempt. He has a button down shirt, his face is clean, he has a square jaw, his hair is cut, and he doesn't look overweight nor scrawny.
The part that really gets me is that someone DID try to go out and save him, and they actively stopped that person. Morally speaking, whoever stopped that person crossed the line from letting someone die out of inaction to actively being a part of their death.

Continuing the discussion, I feel this is a very very 1st world type of death. In corrupt, poor places you will have fireman not showing, not having equipment, coming late due to bad roads et cetera.
But here you have the opposite. Yes there may be some financial issues(even though the article says lack of funding was debunked) But I feel the biggest reason of his death is 1st worlds absolute reluctance to think outside the box and take any unnecessary risk. Following the letter of the law and not the spirit. More concerned about getting sued than helping others.
>Well I'm not trained to do this

I don't know, this is my observation as a 3rd worlder who lives in 1st world. In some aspects 1st worlders are more kinder, helpful cheerful than 3rd worlders but in others they absolutely shut down and do nothing. These often come at the times of crisis. When things don't go as planned they don't know what to do.

In some aspects 1st worlders are more kinder, helpful cheerful than 3rd worlders but in others they absolutely shut down and do nothing. These often come at the times of crisis. When things don't go as planned they don't know what to do.

>More concerned about getting sued than helping others.
In my experience, using the "letter of the law" is an excuse. Most bureaucrats will ignore the letter of the law when it suits their interests, but will use the letter of the law as an excuse to avoid doing something they don't want to do. Really good bureaucrats can play mind games bunging up the system for decades saying it's "insurance" or "there hasn't been a study" or "this certification document needs to be signed by an _X_ Y, not a _Z_ Y" or cetera. That captain actively stopped things for a reason.
In a tangential line of discussion, isn't it a _good_ thing that a man who wanted to die they let do so on his own terms?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, WHY THE FUCK IS THERE AN ORGAN REMOVAL FROM CORPSES AT A NUCLEAR POWER PL–WHAT?!
You literally type like a Twitch streamer trying to act hyper-emotional and it is actually draining. Congratulations, you've managed to convey textually the sound of pure obnoxiousness. Essence of PewDiePrint. Markiprinter. Whatever. Tiresome.

To answer that question a month late, they weren't removing tissue from the bodies at the plant but at the hospitals where those workers died, and obviously they were doing it to determine if and how much those workers had been harmed by radiation at their jobs (and/or from those experiments in the 1960s). A perfectly reasonable thing to do assuming they had obtained permission from either the workers before their deaths or their relatives afterwards. It appears that they hadn't, though.

Wikipedia maintains a list of what it thinks is the “most essential knowledge”. Last April “Noam Chomsky” was replaced by “Martin Heidegger” on this list.

I remember reading an article about an 18th-19th century wizard who had a really weird name, something like "Hope Morning Child" (not that name at all, I'm just trying to purvey the strangeness of his name). Does anyone remember?
