Yeah because working outside and still doing all the domestic work is so much better than being confined to the house. Who needs feminism?

No doubt the Soviet Union was a huge step forward for women but this is just a dumb thing to say. Women doing unpaid household labour and emotional labour has always been the case.

Turns out the one I was thinking of was the critical stop sound and the error sound was less threatening. Learnt something new...

Messing around with your old WinXP/95 computer and then fixing that mess before your parents come home and scold you does wonders to one's troubleshooting skills. People of this generation never got to hear that scary XP error sound, and it shows.

I don't disagree lol

To be fair, a bunch of old scientific closed sourced applications run only on WinXP or 7. Maybe it's aimed at those people. But I don't know any that require 10 or 11 that don't have alternatives...

Fascism believes its own lies, I guess. Even kings had court jesters to criticise them. Trump is surrounded by dumb yes-men. I do feel sorry for the poor people caught in the mess the world is in right now.

This comment took me down an interesting rabbit hole... He's a couch fucker? And conservatives say neopronouns are weird, smh.

Yeah, that's the best part. These people really are complete outsiders. You expect them to be evil, but somewhat intelligent. Instead you get 👊 🇺🇸 🔥.

Narcissus poeticus, or poet's daffodils are called 'nargis' (nuh-ruh-giiis) in a a number of languages. The root word is Persian. It is often used in poetry as a metaphor for a person's eyes (generally your girlfriend) as it is supposed to be 'eye shaped'. There is, of course, the Greek myth which is often alluded to in English literature. It's also a pretty flower.

antonim raised a good point, actually. While I wouldn't put it past the CIA to do something like this, the fact is that this vague document is hardly evidence of the CIA funding the Hungarian revolution. Besides, a historian would be far more qualified to look at archival material since they're actually trained to do that.
