TIL: post things you learned today.

Which radio show? I've an interest in old time radio, especially horror and SF.

I'm not sure... I thought it was in the Lights Out episode "He Dug It Up" but I don't think that's right. Darn.

TIL my landlord's handyman is so retarded he didn't remove the shipping bolts from the new washer, and as a consequence the damn thing nearly shook itself to pieces when I used it.

The Japanese confectionery company, Meiji, scaled back on it's famous Karl snack brand a couple years back, thereby forcing the brand to only be sold in the western portion of Japan, and only two flavors.

[Niggernerd]

It's a bad idea to shave at 3 am.

SHAVING AT 3 A.M. (GONE WRONG) (INSANE) *insert spooked emoji x3*


Also today I learned that peeing in flower pots keeps the stink. I should be more active and walk to the toilet when I'm shitfaced.

I used to be able to study all night no problem in my 20's.
Did 2 all nighters for a license exam next week and I feel like walking death.
Damn, I used to be so resilient.

In Genesis where God tells Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, in the original Hebrew it means that if you have 2 kids, you failed because you just replaced yourselves.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

The Dixie Chicks song Goodbye Earl is actually a cover.

TIL King Coffey from the Butthole Surfers is gay.

Band name makes more sense now, I bet.

 

[ApatheticViewer]

TIL about this guy named Shuaiby who blew his brains out on livestream

Fucking depressing

 

[PT 940]

TIL that my neighbor will hit her daughter with a closed fist and yell "Answer me when I talk to you, Kinley!" no matter how many neighbors are outside watching

 

[TerribleIdeas™]

TIL that feminist organizations that...

• use domestic violence paradigms that characterize men as the automatic abuser,
• provide no post-victimization services to male victims of domestic violence,
• provide no crisis resources for male victims of domestic violence,
• that poison the well against any advocacy undertaken outside the control of feminist orgs, or without feminist theory embedded in the processes used, characterizing it as undertaken by "hate groups",
• that ensure that their poisoning of the well causes non-feminist attempts to remedy that lack of post-victimization and crisis services for men to never happen,
• and then ask "well why aren't non-feminist groups opening shelters and arranging for counseling services!", when no gov't or private philanthropist would risk working with groups smeared as "hate groups", and risk being smeared and defamed for their efforts,

... are ackshually "helping men."

Still trying to fathom how that works, because I am 100% certain that if I saw any of that being done to deny female domestic violence victims access to services, there would be a cataclysmic uproar.

TIL that some computers in current use are old enough that they won't recognize a solid state drive without a BIOS update.
