the medieval (end egyptian) practice of writing some words in red for emphasis, or the starting letters for sentences… for whatever reason, japs also do it with stamps and so on. it means like an identification or something important. they have been doing it for a long time. unrelated but similar thing is when for example a man's spouse dies, they will get a gravestone with both their names on it, even though the man is still alive. his name will be filled in red

>In May 1946, Parisian fashion designer Jacques Heim released a swimsuit design that he named the Atome ('Atom') advertised as "the smallest swimsuit in the world". Clothing designer Louis Réard introduced his new, smaller design that split the Atome in July. He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the United States had conducted its first nuclear weapons test as part of Operation Crossroads days before. Réard hoped his swimsuit's revealing style would create an "explosive commercial and cultural reaction" similar to the explosion at Bikini Atoll. He explained that "like the bomb, the bikini is small and devastating".

>Of the possible places given serious consideration, including Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, Bikini offered the most remote location with a large protected anchorage, suitable but not ideal weather, and a small, easily moved population. On February 6, the survey ship Sumner began blasting channels through the Bikini coral reef into the lagoon. The local residents were not told why.
>The 167 Bikini islanders first learned their fate four days later, on Sunday, February 10, when Navy Commodore Ben H. Wyatt, United States military governor of the Marshall Islands, arrived by seaplane from Kwajalein. Referring to Biblical stories which they had learned from Protestant missionaries, he compared them to "the children of Israel whom the Lord saved from their enemy and led into the Promised Land." He also claimed it was "for the good of mankind and to end all world wars." There was no signed agreement, but he reported by cable "their local chieftain, referred to as King Juda, arose and said that the natives of Bikini were very proud to be part of this wonderful undertaking." The next day, LST-861 moved them and their belongings 128 miles (206 km) east to the uninhabited Rongerik Atoll, to begin a permanent exile. Their desire to return to Bikini was thwarted indefinitely by the U.S. decision to resume nuclear testing at Bikini in 1954. During 1954, 1956, and 1958, twenty-one more nuclear bombs were detonated at Bikini, yielding a total of 75 megatons of TNT (310 PJ), equivalent to more than three thousand Baker bombs. Three Bikini families returned in 1974 but were evacuated again in 1978 because of radioactivity in their bodies from four years of eating contaminated food. As of 2022, the atoll remains unpopulated.
>The cleanup was hampered by two significant factors: the unexpected base surge and the lack of a viable cleanup plan. It was understood that if the water column fell back into the lagoon, which it did, any ships that were drenched by falling water might be contaminated beyond redemption. Nobody expected that to happen to almost the entire target fleet. No decontamination procedures had been tested to see if they would work and to measure the potential risk to personnel. In the absence of a decontamination protocol, the ships were cleaned using traditional deck-scrubbing methods: hoses, mops, and brushes, with water, soap, and lye. The sailors had no protective clothing. By August 3, Colonel Warren concluded the entire effort was futile and dangerous. The unprotected sailors were stirring up radioactive material and contaminating their skin, clothing, and, presumably, their lungs. When they returned to their support ship living quarters, they contaminated the shower stalls, laundry facilities, and everything they touched. Warren also observed that the radiation safety procedures were not being followed correctly. Fire boats got too close to the target ships they were hosing and drenched their crews with radioactive spray. More than half of the 320 Geiger counters available shorted out and became unavailable. The crews of two target ships, USS Wainwright and USS Carteret, moored far from the detonation site, had moved back on board and become overexposed. Captain L. H. Bibby, commanding officer of the apparently undamaged battleship New York, accused Warren's radsafe monitors of holding their Geiger counters too close to the deck. He wanted to reboard his ship and sail it home.
>The decontamination failure ended plans to outfit some of the target ships for the 1947 Charlie shot and to sail the rest home in triumph. The immediate public relations problem was to avoid any perception that the entire target fleet had been destroyed. On August 6, in anticipation of this development, Blandy had told his staff that ships sunk or destroyed more than 30 days after the Baker shot "will not be considered as sunk by the bomb." By then, public interest in Operation Crossroads was waning, and the reporters had gone home. The failure of decontamination did not make news until the final reports came out a year later.

It shows a mutual respect between him and the townspeople that is unheard of today. They didn't bother each other, he doesn't seem like he stole or was disruptive, the towns would still sell him supplies and didn't shuttle him off so they would look better for getting rid of a homeless person.

The chain offered a year's supply of Whopper sandwiches as a reward for information leading to the return of inflatables stolen in November. One was found attached to a railing at the football-field 50-yard line at an Iowa college,and another under a bed in Virginia. A ransom note was found for a third: "We have SpongeBob. Give us 10 Krabby Patties, fries, and milkshakes." Steven Simon and Conrad (C.J.) Mercure Jr. were arrested after stealing an inflatable from a Burger King in St. Mary's County, Maryland.While facing up to 18 months in jail and a $500 fine, Simon and Mercure said they were proud of what they did; Simon said, "Once we got caught by the police, we were like, now we can tell everybody."

I like reading about collapses myself and I think you would like to read a prequel to the bronze age collapse and that is the rise and fall of the forefathers of cities, effective, organized agriculture and writing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer
They appear, invent writing, invent everything and at some point collapse and disappear like tears in the rain. Reading history is a really humbling experience and it helps comes into terms with death, pain and the follies of humanity. If you like the Sumerians, the entire Mesopotamia region is a long tale of rising splendor and inevitable decline and ruins. History has one lesson only. Nothing lasts forever. Everything will be ruins sooner or later. Other will come and build ruins of their own until the sun itself fades and dies, swallowing everything, in one last roar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion_of_Sinope
Recently I finished reading the Old Testament (to be honest I skipped Song of Songs and the Book of Proverbs) and I was amazed how evil God is in those books. I know this is nothing new and I kind of knew myself but you don't know the extent of God's atrocities until you read every page by yourself. Anyway that stuff is really interesting but it really made me realize how distant the New Testament God is from the Old one. It got me thinking how in the hell the early Christians even dealt with the fact God himself had to be completely reformulated in between books. It's like they changed the main character 3/4 through the movie and hoped nobody would notice. It's quite amazing.
I went looking and that's how I found many early Christians who did notice the swap and couldn't cope with it, or rather, they invented a bunch of theological mechanisms in order to make it work. Here's one such example, Marcion of Sinope, an important theologian from the Patristic age who basically proposed Jesus's Father and Yahweh, the national God of Israel, are completely different entities. Yahweh is just a Demiurge that at some point built the world and vanishes around the time Jesus shows up. Well, the problem of doing that is that you need the OT in order to "legalize" Jesus' divine nature through the fulfillment of prophecies, all found of course in the OT. This is really fascinating stuff.

Yahweh is just a Demiurge that at some point built the world and vanishes around the time Jesus shows up. Well, the problem of doing that is that you need the OT in order to "legalize" Jesus' divine nature through the fulfillment of prophecies, all found of course in the OT. This is really fascinating stuff.

I agree %100 with you , there are so many things are fucked in ot and theology of it completely different than nt. I really don’t understand how they made a religion from those 2 books is unbelieveble . I also like Marcion of Sinope a lot.

what do you guys think about the wikipedia ui change? i actually dont mind it
the fixed/floating table of contents to the side was a staple for old internet sites, and the offline personal wiki/journal thing i use zimwiki also has this. i think the indicator for what section of the TOC you are on should be more visible, right now it just turns bold
the other complain i see is the huge whitespace… but these same idiots complaining probably use twitter and that shit uses like 10% of my fucking screen width for actual content
scaling seems to zoom the entire website instead of just the text. wikipedia is very conservative and this is not bad. this is probably one of the only changes in years regarding website/software that i don't at all mind

As to the new design, while the idea of having the contents on the side is not bad, the whole look is horrible and reminiscent of the disgusting mobile version of the site (which may be alright on mobiles, I wouldn't know, but I hate getting linked to it when I'm on a PC). It just feels incomplete, I guess. Too empty? The wide margins remind me of a Word document, doesn't feel like a website.

There's a whole curious school of thought that the jewish verison of god comes out of some odd amalgamation from sumeria and possibly egypt and stuff like that. Regardless, the whole idea behind Christianity is that things got so fucked up that God had to send his son down to earth for a bit as the mossiah to reset everything and lay down the new law. So in some sense it doesn't really matter what the original jews believed in or to what degree it had been taken over by babylonian talmudism and khabbalah magic.

I've been seeing a shitton of imperialist history videos/links/etc. recently (Operation Condor, Gladio, Charlie, Belgian Congo, what you posted, Trail of Tears, slave trade, Holocaust, Rape of Nanking, Holodomor, etc.). So many that I'm starting to wonder if the point is to just desensitize the population to that sort of history and just make it so they don't care about it anymore and blow it off altogether.
One tragic genocide can make a population feel guilty. A hundred and they'll just start to think, "Yeah, yeah, we're evil, whatever," and it's just a statistic.

A lot of those things also have a rooting in psychological warfare. If you know something about classical conditioning and operant conditioning, then it starts to make a lot more sense why the powers that be tend to fall into these similar patterns of oppression even if they might not understand them in a more academic fashion.
Then you can go on to realize that the modern schooling system is also based on these same methods, and would more correctly be called brainwashing than teaching.

When allowed to melt, the one to two milliliters of water recovered was found to hold about a million bacteria…the team is eager to discover what the bacteria living in the frost flowers are doing.

These articles on Luxury Beliefs (both the Medium article and the NY Post article linked within it) seem to me somewhat sloppy, in that they mix different things together.
-One of these seem to be "this idea is costly, but I can bear that cost" such as "you should only eat expensive organic food".
-Another one would be "this idea, if implemented, would affect other people but not me, so I have no problem supporting it" like "Abolish the police, crime won't be a problem afterwards because that's what my expensive private security is there for". While that example is about a rich person not suffering the consequences that the rest of society would suffer, there are examples which are not that related to wealth, for example wanting to ban the sale of non-electric cars while living in a warm or temperate climate, when electric cars perform very poorly in the cold. But if you don't live in a cold place you have no reason to care, regardless of how wealthy or not you are.
-The third one is just plain hypocrisy. The succubus saying that non-monogamy is just as good as monogamy, or that monogamy is actually harmful, while fully intending to stay monogamous, she's just plain being a hypocrite. Same with the private jet types lecturing the poors about how they should take the bus to work instead of driving, we need to save the environment! This also doesn't rely necessarily on wealth, I could easily lecture people on how vegan diets are the only ethical diets and then go have a nice, medium-rare steak.
These categories could be summarized as "costly, but I can deal with it", "costly, but for somebody else" and "costly, but I'm only going to pay lip service to it, not actually do the thing". The first one and sometimes the second one really are luxury beliefs, in my opinion.

The depression article makes a lot of sense, specially the parts that boil down to "the group is just barely tolerating you, they might kill you or kick you out soon, shut up and stay quiet in a corner, the less they see you the better" and the learned helplessness "stop trying to do X, you can't do X, give it up and stop pointlessly wasting your energy on it".

Evolutionary psychology has the problem that it's pretty much all trying to guess why some behaviour evolved, which is then effectively impossible to prove beyond "well, it seems to me like it makes sense…" Of course, pretty much all of sociology and psychology is just made up, but evo-psych is more fashionable a target.
As to anti-sociobiology being a luxury belief, it seems that the fundamental premise of luxury beliefs is that they attack useful beliefs. Only if sociobiology is useful, not correct or incorrect, but useful, would it be a luxury belief to disdain it. The main opposition to sociobiology seems to be ideological, since it can sometimes lead to conclusions that go against the political orthodoxy of mid-20th century onward (nature over nurture, differences between the sexes being innate, etc). Anti-sociobiology seems like a luxury belief in the second sense (of the ones I mentioned earlier in this post), in that the establishment likes it because it won't bear its consequences. On the other hand it seems to actively benefit them, while luxury beliefs are supposed to be harmful in general but less so (or not so) to the ones spouting them. In that regard it doesn't act as a luxury belief. I don't think that a king thinking that monarchy is a good form of government would count as a luxury belief, self-interest of the wealthy and powerful alone doesn't make something a luxury belief.

Regarding your third point here, what if it's not hypocrisy, but psychopathy? The rich person endorses these ideas so that it maintains an entrenched, impoverished class below them. The rich endorse non-monogamy because single-parent households create a vast ocean of poor people that you can easily keep on top of. They endorse veganism so they end up having the nutrition and cheaper meat. They endorse not owning a car because all the plebs trying to copy them reduce their labor mobility and thereby lower their wages.
>seem to me somewhat sloppy, in that they mix different things together.
>-One of these seem to be "this idea is costly, but I can bear that cost" such as "you should only eat expensive organic food".
I think this is what is traditionally known as luxury goods/services/Veblen goods.
>-The third one is just plain hypocrisy. The succubus saying that non-monogamy is just as good as monogamy, or that monogamy is actually harmful, while fully intending to stay monogamous, she's just plain being a hypocrite. Same with the private jet types lecturing the poors about how they should take the bus to work instead of driving, we need to save the environment! This also doesn't rely necessarily on wealth, I could easily lecture people on how vegan diets are the only ethical diets and then go have a nice, medium-rare steak.
Regarding your third point here, what if it's not hypocrisy, but psychopathy? The rich person endorses these ideas so that it maintains an entrenched, impoverished class below them. The rich endorse non-monogamy because single-parent households create a vast ocean of poor people that you can easily keep on top of. They endorse veganism so they end up having the nutrition and cheaper meat. They endorse not owning a car because all the plebs trying to copy them reduce their labor mobility and thereby lower their wages.

I want to make a minor amend to this, both the first and second types should be considered luxury beliefs regardless of whether the cost is financial or not. In the electric car example, we could simply consider that the speaker has the luxury of not having to deal with cold weather. Similarly, we can find non-financial examples of the first type, if we both have similar levels of wealth, but I have a lot of free time that you don't, me claiming that we should both dedicate a lot of time to something (be it volunteering to help the needy, reading a lot of books, traveling, etc.) could be a luxury belief, since I have the luxury of having ample free time for that while you don't.

It's nice that you bring Veblen goods up though, they aren't mentioned in the articles but are a great comparison. Veblen goods are desired because of their high cost, because they can be used to display wealth "I can afford a Lamborghini, I'm THAT rich". Luxury beliefs work in the same way, "I can afford to have this ridiculous belief, I'm THAT removed from/resilient to its consequences".
As to the psychopathy, that could well be. I don't think it even needs to be motivated by economic self-interest, some people want to screw others over for the sake of it.

Hi, I'm new. Seems there is truth to the dead-web theory. On 4Chan they repurposed one of my own Original posts in which I was the OP of. I didn't understand what Dead-Web or Dead-Internet Theory meant until I saw a Why-File episode with its host and heckle fish. so it's true that perhaps click-farming from china is a business where you can hire them for a small amount and then they will popularize your videos with fake "Original Post" from various proxy world wide in the tens of thousand to get your video jump started? I wish I knew this in advance, I dont like to cheat but some of my original video pods on Youtube never got much views. best one I got was 60k in a month of a fake UFO video I created with 3D Studio Max but then it suddenly died off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flâneur
Flâneur (French: [flɑnœʁ]) is a French noun referring to a person, literally meaning "stroller", "lounger", "saunterer", or "loafer", but with some nuanced additional meanings (including as a loanword into English). Flânerie is the act of strolling, with all of its accompanying associations. A near-synonym of the noun is boulevardier. Traditionally depicted as male, a flâneur is an ambivalent figure of urban affluence and modernity, representing the ability to wander detached from society with no other purpose than to be an acute observer of industrialized, contemporary life.

>Look at this coal power plant.
>Man, this burning of coal makes soooo much fire and heat and flames.
>How can we slough off the heat from this turbine with all of this FIRE around?
>The turbine will have problems with all of this heat.
>Sooo much heat and fire.
>How can we deal with it?
>Oh, I know!
>Let's one of the most flammable substances known to man as a coolant!
Man, 1860-1939 was a fucking magical time.

People don't just do shit for no reason, did you even read the page?
The use of gaseous hydrogen as a coolant is based on its properties, namely low density, high specific heat, and the highest thermal conductivity (at 0.168 W/(m·K)) of all gases; it is 7 to 10 times better at cooling than air.[3] Another advantage of hydrogen is its easy detection by hydrogen sensors. A hydrogen-cooled generator can be significantly smaller, and therefore less expensive, than an air-cooled one

Yes, I am aware. I'm amazed at the tech. I am not calling it out or calling it stupid. I am expressing an emotion known as wonder.

lesson learned from the recent poster in this thread: don't click articles of people's names

>The individual crystals of montmorillonite clay are not tightly bound hence water can intervene, causing the clay to swell, hence montmorillonite is a characteristic component of swelling soil.
I found this interesting. Seems useful as a desiccant.

I bet you he's the same guy who keeps trying to spam cp in an effort to discredit the board. Seems like a bad actor overall.

Since we're posting criminals I decided ; Why not demonstrate why Geenieboppers are less than SHIT?!?! Albert Einstein was a fucking anti human devourer of lives ; Richard Feynman too. None other than GEENIEBOPPERS developed nuclear weapons, killing more people than the worst genocides in history and condemning humanity. GENIUSES SHOULD BE KILLED IMMEDIATELY ; We need Equity and Intelligence Heritability Reduction. Geniuses are the killers, rapists and Landstalkers - Gangstalkers - Child Devourers. Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Use geniuses as fertilizer ; Disembowel them and remove food from a Geeniebopper's stomach ; Burn them alive with gasoline ; Torture them with lobotomies.

Evaporative and radiative cooling concepts taken to their optimal levels. It seems straightforward, but between the conical construction, chimney, wall placements, windcatchers, aqueducts, and the vast caverns underneath them, they're quite amazing.

WTF are you talking about? No Geniuses, no internet, no tech. That's the only thing that makes this shitty life tolerable. Fuck off.
