Iran Worried U.S. Might Be Building 8,500th... →
jakke:
Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America’s uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon. “Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United States may...
So I’m in a nearly-empty restaurent, reading alone in a corner by the window, and for whatever goddamned reason I can’t understand, a group of FIVE, including a squealing baby, decide it’s prudent to sit *right next to me*, instead of any one of the other, accomodating, very-available tables across the room.
You know why the term “retardation” is no longer medically-recognized, besides its...

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.
But, um, just to be clear: we do all know that this more than likely means the US had something to do with it, right?

Ugh I just had such a freaky dream. There had been something wrong with my heart that meant I needed a hole through my chest into my heart, which was plugged with a small plastic cap. The danger of it was that it would sometimes come out, and blood would pour down my chest and I would feel like I was dying. I would have to keep finding some specific person to put it back in, which was...

Decimation
1thingtoday:
The word decimate comes from a Roman Army procedure for dealing with mutinous or cowardly behavior. The soldiers of the unit would be divided into groups of 10 and would draw lots, the 1 soldier of the 10 that drew short would be killed by the other 9.
Decimatio in Latin literally means to reduce by a tenth.

Why are you like that?
So there’s this epidemic problem of people treating other people like kiosks. I’m pretty sure this has been around forever, this isn’t a new problem, but how the fuck is this still a problem? Other people are not placed on this earth to serve you! Other people are not unresponsive resistive touchscreens that need your finger to jab into them a little harder so...

the origins of "taste"
Do we ever reason, in order to know whether a ragoo be good or bad; and has it ever entered into any body’s head, after having settled the geometrical principles of taste, and defined the qualities of each ingredient that enters into the composition of those messes, to examine into the proportion observed in their mixture, in order to decide whether it be good or bad? No, this is never...
