@Soyweiser I’m terribly sorry in advance for your massive wax-fueled house fire.

@Soyweiser @sneerclub LOL. That might explain why I got suspended. For the past 18 months all I have done is suppress traffic to my timelines by blocking anything promoted, delete my messages programmatically, and try to unlike every tweet that I ever liked. That after years of using blocking tools to ultimately block hundreds of thousands of accounts. It would have been millions if they didn’t have a 64k at a time limit.

@dgerard @sneerclub YET!

@dgerard Exactly. Fish deserve whatever suffering comes their way.

@TinyTimmyTokyo @sneerclub At 12, I was a dedicated utilitarian too. It’s hardly an advanced state. It’s something you grow out of.

@gnomicutterance @sneerclub Are you familiar with Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now!”?

@PyroNeurosis @sneerclub Something like a national socialist party…

@self @sneerclub Thiel is more actively terrified of death than any other person alive. He is disappointed in your complacency about the possibility that he might die. Why do you not recognize the apocalyptic tragedy *for the universe* that his death would be?

@Amoeba_Girl He definitely needs to do it while he still is young enough to be considered fashionable when he comes back.

Last year would have been best. No time like now.

@zogwarg Bronze Age Empires:

Hittite
Minoan
Mycenaean (briefly but opportunistically picking up the very wet Minoan pieces after the Thera eruption & tsunami.)
Old Babylonia (i.e. not the Neo-Babylonians who revered that past)

Given their intermittent hegemony over Kush and Canaan, I don’t agree that Egypt doesn’t count as an empire. One can also make such a case for Zhou-era China, particularly before its splintering into the “Warring States” interregnum.

@self @sneerclub He really ruined the scam for the rest of us^Wthem…

@m @swlabr Tangential technical q: would not an SRE which came from the SRE mines be better referred as “refined ore?”
