Assuming it perforates the intestine - big infection from fecal matter getting into the abdominal cavity. It’s called peritonitis, and AFAIK it’s pretty much fatal if untreated. Severe abdominal pain as the infection spreads, all the vomiting and diarrhea cleans you out, and then the infection starts to shut your intestines and the rest of your organs fail while you go into sepsis and die. It’s not fast, either. It can take several days.

Driving unaware posts.

That is a lovely story.

“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

President Felonius Trump.

Picked up near the Ukrainian border, they say?

Wonder how much further they will go to tie this to Ukraine. Hasn’t ISIS already claimed responsibility?

1944 was how long ago? That’s how long it took for a jewish person to sound just like a rabid Nazi.

Probably the 90’s in the US. For context I’m an '80s kid.

The dust from deregulation had mostly settled, healthcare hadn’t skyrocketed, education and homes were still mostly affordable. Union busting and offshoring had settled down a little. Bankruptcies crushing retirements, too. You thought that the traditional paths of career, maybe getting married, and buying a house were still on the table. Politics were pretty stable and it was probably the last time you could make the argument that “both sides” were kinda the same. We were kinda coasting after the close of the Cold War…sure there were some skirmishes, but nothing huge. The were the “good old days” where shit was just going OK for the most part (please don’t pedantically point out what was wrong with society, no period is perfect, it’s just that the '90s had a few less bumps in the road). The internet was becoming a more widespread thing, technology was advancing rapidly. You could still save the Earth with a little recycling, Climate Change wasn’t obviously having effects as veiwed by the average person.

Followed by the '00s where we got hammered really fast with dot-com bust, 9/11, recession after recession, decades of war, politics shifting hard right, rapidly rising costs thanks to speculation and corporate mergers…it’s been pretty unsettled for quite a while and for those entering the workforce now it’s rough.

Yeah…the '90s. Things were still looking up until TSHTF in '00s and after.

Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku…a gaming headset.

Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don’t actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a “verified” fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I’ll never return.

But according to Putin Russia is an awesome place. How could they need assistance with military hardware from Iran?

Burgers, hot dogs, onion rings, kielbasa, the -wursts, sweet mustard on German Pretzels; goes into several salad dressings, marinades, or things like egg salads; sandwiches, corn dogs…I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of it.

Running wires is expensive. That’s why most people opt for wireless, and on top of that, the convenience systems like Ring offer with their app, no NVR/DVR, none of the typical security system hardware cluttering things up.

Don’t argue on the internet.

It’s not easy to find people who are willing to talk with you, most want to talk at you, and aren’t interested in good faith discussion. State your case, clearly and with sources as needed, and don’t waste your time with your opponent’s butwhatabout, JAQing off, irrelevant exceptions, and goalpost moving.

Wallace and Gromit episode - except with a cow.

Look like little Jim Henson monsters.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

I feel really bad for the guys that defect like this. There have been a few stories of defectors being traded back to Russian forces in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners. The defectors were killed and made an example of. Sucks, because if you don’t want to fight the war you have few options, and none of them good.

All the countries with space programs have people in some form of dire strait. Starving, homeless, lack of medical care… Are you saying achievements like this aren’t allowed to take place at all until every problem is taken care of? I can assure you that at no point in civilization has there been times where someone wasn’t in a bad spot while society moved forward. Yeah, India has some big problems, and huge wealth disparity is a problem that many places face alongside India, but you can’t shut down progress because all the other problems can’t be solved.
