Your first sentence is somewhat correct, I’d argue that dealing with any kind of absolute like you have done is incredibly dumb though. Of course being outspoken can get you bullied. It may be less likely in a university/college setting, but it’s definitely gonna happen. And your second second sentence is so wrong it’s almost comical. Bullying at a tertiary education level is so common that I guarantee there’s a bunch of studies done on it and probably a wiki page for it too.

Edit: lol, yep, shit loads of studies (and there’s plenty more to be found than just these few), and the wiki exists.

Wait, what? That seems odd. They’ve deleted music videos from my account (which I had the files for, and the videos in question were also pulled from YouTube etc by the band, so I don’t think it’s apple’s fault they were pulled), but I still have all the music I’ve made myself. I do back it up every 2 or 3 months (I would cry for the rest of my life if I lost it, I have nearly 2yrs of continuous music), but I’ve never had to restore it (and this has reinforced why I do back up).

Edit: looked it up, I see the issue now. I don’t use Apple music, and every instance I can find of this happening is associated with ceasing that subscription. But I just use iTunes and the iTunes store. Dunno how this would work for you since it’s your own music (and I dunno if it’d work for music not in the iTunes catalogue, ie stuff from Bandcamp, qobuz, cough cough less than legal methods, etc), but it would appear all you have to do is log in to your account again and re-download the deleted files.

Second edit: just realised I have lost some actual music from my account. The series of live albums that iTunes directly released from the iTunes festivals they ran like 15yrs ago just came to mind. They’re gone from my account. And probably a bunch of others. They were never deleted from my hard drive though.

Literally has videos on his channel of him card counting and winning big. Consistently.

Bruschetta. I know this cos it’s literally written on the jar lids.

So? I was replying to a comment that said it wasn’t a good way to make money. I gave an example of a group using it to make money for 20yrs. I’d argue that that proves it can be a good way to make money.

Link worked fine for me just now, 13mins after your post.

I’d argue that getting away with it for 20yrs means they were still pretty successful.

This group was pretty successful at it.

What the fuck would you poms know about it? Like in the cricket, Australia has you beat. You’ve had 6 since 2000, we’ve had 8.

You could also turn off autoloading of the next page in RiF. The app the RiF creator made for Tildes has the same option.

Ketamine is garbage at everything besides temporarily lobotomizing people. It works for it’s many uses because it makes the user stupid. It’s often given to suicidal people, not because it’s a miracle drug, but because it incapacitates them in a safe manner.

This quote from you contradicts what you’ve just said.

Nah, more dangerous. People rarely die of spider bite down here in Australia. Been like 8 deaths to the world’s most deadly spider over recorded history. Sure, that number is probably artificially low cos back in the old days some bites would’ve just been written off as a heart attack etc, but it’s still surprisingly low compared to say deaths by cow etc.

Yeah, I’m gonna take the peer reviewed studies results that show that ketamine is quite effective with relieving drug resistant depression over this post of yours…

I have. In various games. The annoying thing about this to me is that they didn’t even hang around to watch the pretty fireball (cos, you know, “gravity”). That’s like 95% of the reason for doing it.

Edit: actually, I bet there wasn’t even a fireball cos real life physics aren’t the same as game physics.

I’m saying the part of the comment you initially highlighted is a joke based on a well known conspiracy theory with no basis in reality. It’s been so long since I read up on it, the beams may not have burnt. They just may have been weakened by the heat. Either way, it matters not as we have pretty good evidence that the twin towers did fall after two planes loaded with fuel hit em.

The internet since 2001…? There’s reams of examples of people who believe this crap and have posted it. I wouldn’t be surprised if people have done PhDs where this conspiracy theory is featured heavily.

It’s a conspiracy theory, and not a particularly intelligent one. Us normies like to make jokes like this mocking people who believe it, but they do actually believe it and will come up with some batshit insane logic to support their theories.

Good question. Many modern day reptiles can go a long time without food. But a t rex is many orders of magnitude bigger than anything we have now. I did do a zoology major at uni, but my physiology knowledge sucks (unsurprising given I barely passed it).

I torrent so much I had to switch to 720p to save space and still have a backlog of 3tb. I blame my ADHD, I have to hoard everyyyyyyyyything.

Er, yeah it does work like that for some people.
