It looks like it would be very easy for him to draw a short-sword from a sheath on his back.

Thanks, Oritteropo! Just 2,006 stars to go to get near the anteater.

I think the anger and disgust I feel at this abhorrent systemic breakdown can be partly summarized in the quote by the news anchor at ~12:07:

"I saw documentation of [various examples of gross negligence]. Why should you care? Well, every day Corizon dispenses health care you pay $339,000 whether it does it's job or not."

WTF. Seriously, the news anchor just said that Corizon was involved in destroying fellow humans and then said that the reason you should care about it is that it costs you money.

There's something deeply wrong here. There's something deeply wrong with for-profit prisons. There's something deeply wrong with for-profit healthcare. And if the only reason a society would care about someone's intense suffering and death is that it might cost them some money then there is something deeply wrong with that society.

Why did you kill this video?

Fascinating. *promote

The cells on the tips of my fingers are *promote-ing this.

*promte

I fully agree!

I also loved the mind-boggled little chick at 2:07. Little things like that make this just hilarious.

Oh, interesting. Did she say that Republicans don't have superdelegates? So they only have normal delegates that vote?

Thanks, Mordhaus! And on my 10-year Siftiversary. So special.

Heh, I don't think 4.5 thousand million years is normal for anybody to conceive of. I believe the purpose behind saying it that way was to directly compare the magnitude of Kelvin's estimate to the actual estimate we have today. Ie. He estimated 20 million years but the actual age is 45 thousand million years, as in he estimated 20 units but in actuality it was 45,000 units.

ICP has some insightful commentary on this video:

*Promote quality learnin. That is, if any of this exists at all...

That's the rub. The concept that the democratically-elected leader of your country is an extremist is an extremist view.

Get it?

wow, *promote the horrid ignorance
