You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.
Not that it makes it any better, but at least they tried hiding operation paperclip. Hopefully indicating some kind of shame.
Volkswagen didn’t even change their name
Barely changed the logo
“Yeah we were the nazi car company who helped do the holocaust. That was a doozy. Anyways, wanna buy a nazi car?”
Bomb sniffing dogs don’t become explosive after a few successful shifts, for similar reasons.
hello Mike D never showed up
may I have the water
Thumbs crossed for Nambia to do the funniest thing of all time
maybe op was doing it a lot
and/or the litter was plutonium or something

And everything memorized must be available for a timed 0.5-3 hour session with no access to any kind of notes, which risks destroying any chance of those memories “sticking” long term.
The only times in my adult life where

All it did was exacerbate my underlying mental health issues while my brain was developing.
New York Times, February 21st, 2026:
Trump invades Iceland
“Broadcast English”
Interesting term
I’ve always noticed that In movies and TV shows, North American accents mostly sound “normal”. But when I talk to Americans/Canadians in person or online over voice chat, I cannot pinpoint the accents, it just sounds “American” to me.
I almost never hear the
“I’m walkin here”
“Folks won’t take kindly to you around these parts”
“I pahked my cah at the Hahvahd yahd”
“I’m sorey aboot that”
I’m totally down, I just need to, like, check my schedule?
etc.
kinds of exaggerated accents
everyone sounds like someone from CNN to me and then they say they’re from Arkansas or something
Fortunately, I don’t think there’s a fraction of that specific kind of tension.
My guess is 40-50 years from now, people will probably just call it Gqeberha or some other more catchy nickname.
Interesting thought
I don’t think the other nations are too bothered by it in most cases.
The country that comes to mind first is Germany. They call it Deutschland. I never looked into why we as English speakers call it “Germany”. I just do it because everyone else does.
I haven’t heard of Germans getting upset about it. If they were legitimately offended, I’d start calling it Deutschland, no problem.
The real issues come in when there’s a historical context. Like, if the name contains a slur for the people in that nation. Or if you mix up the names of neighbouring Balkan countries.
Come to think of it, I don’t hear about it as often as I probably should.
Government officials, the news and people in other professional contexts call it Gqeberha, frequently struggling with the click sound, even when a “k” sound will suffice.
Otherwise, I still hear people call it “P.E.”
“Port Elizabeth” was still kind of a mouthful
People I meet from the Eastern Cape just say they’re from “the Eastern Cape”, because unfortunately most people don’t know where Nxuba or Makhanda is.
Hell, a lot of people think Gqeberha/P.E. is the capital city of the Eastern Cape. (Bhisho is the capital)
Seeing Cape Town Stadium get renamed to DHL Stadium pissed me off so hard
This might sound silly, but going to that stadium, I felt an indescribable sense of community with everyone who showed up to support whatever artist/band/sports team was there . So many people, with a shared interest, in one place.
Since I live further out of Cape Town, I rarely get to experience that.
That piss yellow logo DHL logo everywhere ruined the experience so fucking much.
KINDLY REMEMBER YOUR GLOBAL CORPORATE OVERLORDS WHO ARE NOT SORRY FOR KEEPING TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE. ALSO, FUCK YOU. REMEMBER TO GAMBLE.

He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Isn’t that him and his entire social circle?
if you asked a random person off the street:
hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:
I’m going to guess most people will pick option 3.
I didn’t even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.
I’m an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think “hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist”.
It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.
The Economist has a tendency to put out articles seemingly designed to make conservatives bust nuts through their trousers at mach 4
Is Lucifer’s Poison Ivy destroying the fabric of civilization as we know it?

does this mean “eat shit” counts as unsolicited medical advice
Also, doesn’t this shit just waste like a fuckton of taxpayer money?
I didn’t mean to imply that smaller companies should have free reign oops
Or are you saying that those hosters are generally less predatory?
