The broken ones didn’t get saved.

Edit: I’m just now remembering the staggering amount of broken and discard pipes and pottery we have in display cases literally everywhere. Nevermind.

I’ve made gelatin over a wood fire once. From animal parts. It was for historical reenactment purposes, and I can confirm, I never ever want to do that again. I can’t imagine doing it in my own home, especially not without the benefit of a modern fume hood.

Whatever happens…

These aren’t petrified bodies.

Wait… Do people think that if you’re covered in hot, you turn to stone???

We’re allowed to swear on the internet and in the Netherlands, so why the self censorship?

So, it actually DOES make you do blind!

“this religion started by a dude from Nazareth is totally western!”

Are people operating on themselves? What?

Love the meme, but it is kind of mocking a deeply mentally ill man.

For context, he wanted to start an artists collective. Other famous painter, and close friend of Vincent, Gaugain wanted to leave pretty soon (probably not helped by Vincent being a mooch and terrible housemate), so being incredibly unbalanced, Van Gogh cut off (part of) his own ear, and presented it to a prostitute he liked. Who, not being mentally unwell, immediately called the police.

“I have drip, look at how wealthy I am! Also, my family will absolutely pay a ransom, so don’t kill me!”

Amen. That’s a position I fully agree with. It’s not one most people who manage stuff agree with.

Managing is literally the easiest part. Finding someone to volunteer for shit shoveling duty is a lot harder.

See, if dictators call themselves proles, then it totally is a proletariat. After all, we’re all equals, my comrades.

“I am Ozymandias, King of Kings…”

A great poem, but there remains quite a bit more than level sands of what Ramses II made. Hes probably in the top 3 of famous pharaohs.

Doesn’t detract from the rest of your point though.

True, and dead people make poor writers.

How to beat the celts:

Fight them in a fight of hip high stinging nettles, holly or hogweed

time is the one resource Big Tech steals that we can’t ever get back.

That’s an odd argument, since DIY takes significantly more time than just buying a solution.

By… Stepping outside and talking to people? I think all neighborhoods have that ability, even if we don’t really use it much.

Because you, and everyone, is in a huge bubble.

Normal people don’t give a shit where stuff is hosted, or if it’s hosted at all. The vast majority of people couldn’t care less what happens to their catpics if their phone gets crushed and they don’t want to use a separate messaging platform just to talk to you.

The things you think are important absolutely don’t matter to them. Most people don’t give a single second of thought to where their documents should live, and will just download it again on a second device instead of synchronizing anything.

It’s really nice that these things exist, but why would someone do anything with them if they literally don’t have a purpose for it?
