Current twitter drama is Europeans confidently declaring that they don't need to drive or use overpriced public transport to get to the MetLife stadium for the World Cup; they will simply walk down the highway to get there. Girl it's New Jersey. They're gonna splatter you for fun.
If you manage to get on the turnpike before the cops stop you, a soccer mom is gonna do the Jersey slide in a RAV4 and turn your entire group into a wet speedbump
this? you want to walk down this????

So much for "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"the only difference between a cult and a religion is the scale"
NO. NO IT ISN'T. THIS IS WHAT THE CULTS WANT YOU TO THINK IT IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE RELIGIONS THAT ARE NOT CULTS AND CULTS THAT ARE NOT RELIGIOUS AND YOU MUST LEARN THE DIFFERENCE
The idea that cults are always religious in nature (especially when paired with the mindset that all religions are bad and that only mindless sheep believe in them) is a dangerous misconception that nonreligious cults take advantage of to ensnare people who might otherwise have seen through their manipulation
I highly recommend giving this video a watch, it is very informative about how real cults work. It helped me to realize that I had been indoctrinated into a cult- though I had already escaped by that point, learning that cults aren't always religious in nature but instead are quite similar to abusive relationships really helped me to heal from that experience and move forward.

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of đŹold-fashioned fancy-speakđŹ I've internalized from TV and video games.
Other websites that let you do this:
Johnson's Dictionary Online (thanks @yellowbelliedtoad!) â 1755 and 1773
Green's Dictionary of Slang â 1300s to today
A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue â 1788
Feraud's Dictionaire critique de la langue française â 1778
A dictionary of the English and Italian languages by Giuseppe Baretti is a bilingual dictionary from 1790!
I need to remember that 90% of the people discussing politics on here are basically operating at this level of historical literacy.

Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?
Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.
#what is the alternative anyway
If you want a direct alternative there's Revolt, which is a free, open source discord clone.
Revolt is the chat app that's truly built with you in mind.
Oh...
It's even worse than I thought.
Time to go back to IRC.
I recommend Element; it's very similar to Discord and has basically the same features but it's privacy-focused and both servers and DMs can both be encrypted so only the actual users of those rooms can read the messages.
This means unlike most popular chat apps, including and especially Discord, Element doesn't sell your conversations or tracking data to advertisers, because the company literally doesn't have access to that data in the first place.
I've used it for years and I think it's a natural fit for Discord users.
sighs. saves for later
The problem with this is transferring YEARS of Discord usage to these new alternatives. Until a tool is made that allows full back up if not transfer of All That, then transitioning to these alternatives isn't feasible for the baseline everyday user.

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes donât go feral like in the book. Itâs almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick
yes. yes he did. iâm also gonna direct you to the real life âlord of the fliesâ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until theyâd cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. hereâs a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.
i read about this in rutger bregmanâs human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you donât want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

morning routine!!
Thinking about how superhero movies often use muscle suits and shirtless scenes because irl form-fitting outfits don't work the way "spandex" does in the comics. Like instead of acting like shrink wrap that highlights every single muscle, it insteads flattens and diminishes the muscles no matter how jacked the actor is.
ofc in the comics there's always some hand-wavey explanation like "they're not wearing spandex, it's actually a special sci-fi substance like unstable particles or Flash's frictionless fabric that just happens to cling to the body" or "this character is actually an alien/demon/half-monster/etc. and has denser muscles than humans that are still visible through tight fabric"
But imagine a superhero instead using the fact that their costume downplays their muscle to their advantage
like if Spoiler made her purple eggplant bodysuit out of spandex to make herself look slimmer so enemies underestimate how strong and athletic she actually is
or Nightwing using super tight pants to nerf his cake because Dick accidentally became famous on social media for his ass ("the butts DON'T match!")
One of those fandom things that I love is when thereâs new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go âAye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.â And everyone else just âaye.â
Not to mention the plot tropes.

really want to explore the idea of anakin choosing darker robes because wearing dark clothing casually is a luxury on tattooine
darker clothing is cooling in the desert, but dying fibers that have been bleached by the harsh suns is a luxury a slave couldn't afford even if their master wasn't hanging a detonator over their head
little ani looking at his new masterâwho'll surely upgrade his clothes now that he's a knightâand privately wondering why he keeps dressing like he's lower class even after a promotion in what he's interpreted as being the jedi's caste system
realizing over time that that custom isn't a thing among the jedi, but still not being able to get rid of the perception over time
getting to pick his robes and deciding to indulge in fulfilling part of a childhood fantasyâa tattooine free of slavers and scattered with rainstorms, full of sentients gleefully jumping into puddles in dark robes that the twin suns would have burnt to ashes if they were still bound to the planet with chains
finding himself, wearing a black suit designed to bring the entire galaxy to its knees, stuck staring at a young inquisitor-to-be drenched in black clothing, terror, and chains (visible or not) alike. briefly thinking of the irony before shoving the thought away and continuing to move forward
finally being unchained by his freeborn son, a jedi wearing black by choice like his father before him. passing into the force with the image of a skywalker who glows in the sunlight instead of burning
....and so on and so forth

How come semi trucks in Europe look like âtoot toot :)â and in North America they look like âHONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|â
âHenlo I am big twuck pwease give me wots of woom tank u :)â
âI WILL FUCKING PANCAKE YOUR CUCK ASSâ
@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags
This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.
Iâm sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.
American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.
The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.
So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.
To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, theyâre just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldnât be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.
I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which Iâm pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900âs, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen
As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.
As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, theyâre generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and youâll be fine.
I feel like somebody should add something about the Australian variants.
From my understanding of Australian wildlife:
Does anyone know if/how American School Busses are related to trucks?Â
Pics for reference:
The classic long-nose schoolbus
But short-nose varieties exist, I remember when they first started appearing in my district!
@dreorzen While school buses ARE in the automobile order, they are actually part of the Van family, not the Truck family, due to their passenger capacity. As you can see in the photos, they have no cargo bed or hookup, and are not really built for object transport. But they DO excel at carrying passengers, particularly children (although certainly not limited to just children)
Theyâre known to be exceptionally protective of any passengers, and if you look closely on that second image you can actually see a specialized appendage that is (I think) unique to school buses- a small, red, octagonal fan, which they extend when there are small creatures around them that they are acquiring or releasing. Much like an angler fishâs bioluminescent bulb appendage, this fan (along with several bioluminescent patches on top of their faces and on their hindquarters) works to mesmerize any other vehicles in close proximity, to where those vehicles will cease movement until the bus lowers the fan. Itâs super fascinating behavior, and little wonder why we trust our children to these gentle, protective giants.
Donât forget about the bus trucks.
While these vehicles can sometimes be bred by accident (after all, who hasnât accidentally left the gate open when your school bus is in season), they are usually bred for specific purposes.
These hybrids are bred for both their cargo capacity and their gentle temperments. Especially in a farm setting, thereâs a need for many different kinds of vehicles, some of which sometimes donât get along. Having a vehicle with both the strength and capacity of a large work truck with the amiable nature of a school bus can be a real benefit.
Itâs a little unfortunate that these hybrids tend to be sterile, though, since it would be easier if theyâd breed true. Also, something to keep in mind⌠bus trucks are bred from a bus.
Truck buses are bred from a truck and⌠tend to not be quite as useful as bus trucks, although some people do like keeping truck buses for companionship and as show vehicles.
