This is super exciting! We still don't have any fucking idea of where the Basque language came from, though 😁

They know because it's using Iberian characters (the iberos alphabet)!

And they know if Basque because ... Funny enough, the words are pretty much the same than modern Basque!

(the first word, "Sorioneku/Zorionak", is actually one of the half a dozen basque words I know 🥳)

(imagine unearthing a bronze hand from 2k years ago full of runic characters, and when you convert them to Latin characters, it starts with a slightly different spelling of the very modern English "congratulations!" 😂)

ohhhh there was an alphabet al along! neat!

christmas eve what about christmas adam

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Someone isn’t having a good christmas adam

Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying.

Happy Christmas Adam everyone

Here, put this candy in your annoying mouth and shut the fuck up.

They’re like adult pacifiers

Same thing was done in Brighton where people were given kitkats as they leave nightclubs because you need both hands to eat them, plus obvs eating.

Other cities would also have mounted police on horses patrolling the streets. Nothing to do with needing to add police presence, they realised drunk people see a horse and go “Ooh Horsies” and stroke the horse. It would distract people from fighting in queues for taxis.

I have witnessed the horse thing in action! for a short amount of time I went clubbing regularly, and being the only person who hated the taste of alcohol I usually just ended up observing the behaviour of the native drunk wildlife, like some sort of Jane Goodall of inebriated students. It was educational.

By far one of the best nights was out in Cardiff, and when we left the club there was, indeed, a horsie and the absolutely immediate, instinctual response of the first dozen people to leave the club (and therefore the first to see this) was to form a group around the door to tell everyone who was leaving the whole pack  going shhshshhsh there’s. there’s A HORSIE don’t. don’t make a noise don’t scare the horsie :’( and everyone leaving the club INSTANTLY quieted the fuck down like even the ones who were fight-me-im-drunk drunk got calmly surpressed by their friends and redirected their energy. Many people did go and pet the horsie who was clearly very well trained and the whole thing was thoroughly impressive and really very moving :’D

how much can crime be reduced with sheer novelty?

this is not an argument that only novelty should be used

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.

if you scroll past this just because it doesn’t affect you personally, i see you.

Also, you can always go to court and contest a ticket, and a lot of times you’ll win. Or if the cop thinks you’ll win they won’t even show up and you’ll win by default.

They like to target out of state plates because anyone who would be majorly inconvenienced by a court date two months away is a lot more likely to just pay it.

I desperately want to study Jared Keso's brain because he was really like "the world needs a little show about a small town full of weirdos where all the women are brilliantly scheming bicons and all the men are various genres of unhinged himbos, and as shitty as the town may seem to outsiders- everyone in it loves it and each other very much because the most important thing in the world is community" and he's right!!!!
