The suppression of the means to educate, as a priority, is a purposeful tactic to subdue dissent.

I hope Z Library, and others like it, live on like the hydra.

This is what I have always done. I have a very good memory, and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been let down by a film purely because of the trailer(s) beforehand just exposing all elements.

I very much enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Children of Men.

Every day I am trying my hardest, to not give into a temptation and eat my own body weight in puffed cheese balls.
This has nothing to do with the post, however you did ask.

Also, can’t they just download the ebook regardless of where they are? I’m not understanding how this would provide difficulty for European officials to obtain a copy for fact checking. Maybe I’m missing something.

There’s quite a few you’d find with a search, phrases in general, however one example out of many is the simple phrase: cakewalk, or ‘taking the cake’. The phrase has origins as a sort of dance African slaves would perform in order to win a prize of a cake.

Here’s a source I found on it, which is short, however there is a longer Wikipedia entry about too: https://birminghamhistoricalsociety.com/2023/02/06/history-of-the-cake-walk/

Edit: I’m sorry I remembered this is about sexual stereotypes. I’m way too high since I went down a rabbit hole and can’t decide on a source. Sorry lmao.

Which one? There are various different stereotypes, and many have roots in some rather shameful aspects of History (e.g.: treatment of slaves). I understand the down votes on this question, however I do suggest people research various stereotypes revolving around ‘black’ men and women. I personally found it rather shocking to discover how many terms, which are used for a general prejudice of all people, originated through harsh exercise of bigotry.

I had a dream once that a pimp was in charge of alteration surgeries, and trans people walked in and he would go “FO’ YOUZ I GIVE MA BOTTOM SURGERY, SHE DA BEST SURGERY, MY MAIN SURGERY” and he was the best doctor in town for it.

That’s a lovely way to see it. Thanks for the kind words.

I believe that ethos is along the lines of the meaning behind a semi-colon tattoo. As far as ‘trend tattoos’ go, I do like the idea of it.

Same, I’m getting there. I’ve been using the steam room at my gym, since the steam forces me to regulate my breathing. It’s a crutch but it has worked wonders for my mind.

They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they’re actually worse than before if you can believe it.

The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.

Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!

Grab Stremio, it’s a program you can download.
Once you’ve downloaded that and opened it up, in any browser go to torrentio.strem.fun and click to install that to your client.

In the program go into your settings and remove the official sources from showing up (like apple TV, Netflix, etc.) and et viola.

You can use popular lists or search for series, and it’ll find the episode/movie from pirates sources.

The fun thing about this is it’s all educational. Not the program nor the torrentio link are illegal, it’s only what you do with it. So all in all, I hope you enjoy searching for legal documentaries supported by creative commons licensing!

Sources mentioned here, along with B3ta.

B3ta is a message board focusing on British humour and memes. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, understandably.

People in the UK drink so much tea (or coffee these days), that breaks in soap operas (such as Eastenders) cause the national grid to be on high alert, due to the incredulous surge of power from so many kettles being turned on at once.

Depends on how my mind is. If I need to concentrate because I am anxious, I try to put on something without serious lyrics, though gentle enough to calm my anxiety down. If I am calm yet finding it hard to focus, I tend to put on light music that I usually listen to, like my most listened to tracks: I find these tracks are the easiest to drown out with the least distractions, as I already know in my head where the tracks are going, however with new tracks even instrumentals when I lose concentration I tend to focus too much on the new tunes and such.

Many times I don’t listen to anything as my head is too cluttered that way.

I don’t know if this answers your question, but I was very good at Where’s Wally as a child.
