Explanation for the people out of the loop:

Anish Kapoor has bought the exclusive rights to Vantablack in art, meaning other artists are not allowed to use it.

He was critizised heavily by painter Stuart Semple, who told Kapoor to #ShareTheBlack. Semple in turn created the “world’s pinkest pink,” alongside the “world’s most glittering glitter.” And the license for those state that both can be purchased by anyone in the world, except Anish Kapoor.

No, that’s just Ripped Roger, he was real.

To be honest, I could have had a better paycheck doing industrial plumbing for an international chem-corp near my hometown, but I really love solving problems and puzzles and to work with my mind, not my hands. Programming was my hobby since I was 16, and I just made my hobby into a job. Still love it.

It’s the BEST! Project Zomboid is in my humble opinion the definite Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game with nothing else coming even close. Especially when modded, but even without mods. Had my Server running for 2 years and played with my friends, it was an absolute BLAST! It ended when we were sieged in our fortress by a horde a screen wide and somebody decided to throw Molotov cocktails at them… because burning zombies set everything they touch on fire… that includes wooden fortresses.

I specifically had told everyone that the only thing more dangerous then a horde is a burning horde. But did they listen?! Nooooo…

XD

It was such a fun ending though, the Zeds breaking through the south wall and us fighting them with everything we had until we were stranded in the garage and the doors were breaking down… so we toasted to having survived that long with bleach and died before they got to us.

And second word cannot be “SWALLOWED” because A has been revealed in “L_AD”

I don’t doubt for a moment that humanity can be extremely wasteful in any economic system. But capitalism sure embraces and enhances our worst tendencies.

Minor contra point. Many police in the UK do not carry guns on their person. They have access to guns and the state monopoly on violence is very one-sided in favour of the state, but community-policing and disarmament of the first-contact-point is absolutely something that can and (sometimes) does happen when the societal level of gun violence is low enough.

The US put the EU at war in Ukraine?

I’d say the war in Ukraine is the direct result of the illegal Russian invasions in 2014 and 2022 and the ongoing war of aggression, but go off buddy.

Apart from that, yes, the EU is inconvenient for every other bigger power, this includes the single remaining mayor power, the american empire.

Charlie Kirk wears a lot of the blame for the existence of guys like the jubilee fascists, he was a perpetrator of stochastic terrorism and increasing right-wing extremism.

I’m not saying he deserved to be shot, but he did not want and doesn’t get any empathy from me.

If you’re only running angry, old, white men…

Australia recognizing Palestine and having beef with Netanyahu while protecting their own jewish community from iranian organized attacks seems based.

Yeh, I mean I can see how using Mercator is subconsciously strengthening colonialist thinking, but to imply that the angles-stable area-distorted map that was much more convenient for naval navigation, was specifically chosen to misrepresent the size of the global south is borderline paranoid.

Not just reclaiming, also simply claiming. Poldering is no joke!
