Infotainment media is mental illness itself, compulsive and addicted, with no memory retention nor ethical compass, it amplifies what is worst in man, it FEEDS it.

And that’s not even considering enemy propaganda from china and russia infiltrating itself into peoples minds, trying to destabilize democracies.

Fuck your sociopathic industry, what you made it into.

The existence of a connection on a manifold enables one to reason consistently about geometric concepts on the whole manifold.

The geometry of the cosmos itself. Tracing good ol’ fashioned circles and triangles with the full extent of the visible universe and even beyond. This stuff blows my mind, even just the mere fact that we’re doing it, let alone the fact that we’re getting such incredible, counter-intuitive results.

Picture yourself having a time machine, going back to visit Euclid or Pythagoras, or even Kepler or Galileo, and blowing their mind with four words: The Geometry Of Spacetime.

Not only does time itself have a geometry, it must curve and contract to accommodate the absolute speed of light… nuts I tell ya.

Then there are at least four spatial dimensions, but there may be as many as eleven. To think that Copernicus thought epicycles were weird, wait till he gets a load of THIS!

Spinoza? Meet quantum entanglement with no hidden variables!
“Oy vey!”

Sauerkraut acidhead… sounds like any of the members of Can, Amon Düül or Neu!

I’d like to try that on a crunchy baguette.

This one might be a little different.

I eat only once a day, but it’s a big one, right before bed.
When I order takeout from… say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don’t want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.

I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.

Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.

But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry’s seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter. I’ll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.

One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I’ll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
As in “car tuning”, custom burger mods.

“Wait, they’re ALL metals?”
“Always have been.”

“We have done it, Assurnipal my friend. Now we sit back and wait until someone invents the internal combustion engine.”

Because the thing you want, is to keep these shitheads living in your head 24/7.

“I remember back in the day when I squirted JUST LIKE THAT.”

This is 'Murica, needs more GUN!

Relaxes stressfully

We need to make up a new similar-but-different word, to get rid of the oxymoron. Going through the motions of superficially relaxing could be stated as:

Relaxifies stressfully

Might as well have slapped an “A.I.-powered for your convenience and safety” sign on those doors, while they’re going through the mindless bullshit motions.

Adapt.
Improvise.
Overcome.
Microplastics.

When our classmate stood at the front and read it from a piece of paper the following day, we were all already tuned out of that class for the rest of the semester, I wasn’t paying attention. In fact, I might be remembering the name wrong, I can’t be certain.

This one is a little different. On the first week of some college introductory economics class, the teacher was basically just reading from the textbook we all had, some historical figure who was a member of the “Council Of Seven” or something like that, when a student raised her hand - “Ma’am, what was the Council Of Seven?” - the teacher paused, and said - “Can you bring it tomorrow, as assignment?” - and actually giggled. This was in the 90s, pre-internet, looking up something like that was not a trivial task.

The teacher might have thought she was being cute and/or deflected her own shortcomings, but the actual effect was that we immediately lost all respect and trust for her, no one ever raised a hand again in her class, we all immediately went into rote robot mode for the rest of the semester, disengaged on a gut level.

A fertility ceremonial, got it!

What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?

Kessel Run. In less than 12 parsecs.

That’s actually quite an interestingly accurate one, considering that something like 95% of Egyptians live near the Nile River, and anywhere that is NOT near the Nile is desert wasteland.

Other accurate analogies would be anywhere in Canada that is NOT near its’ southern border, or nearly anywhere/everywhere in inland Australia, they call it the Outback for a reason.

I’ve been calling it that for eight years now. Give or take.
