That is incorrect. "Sex" is pre-Latin (originally "seks", but the Latins use "x" for "ks" like in "fox"). It means "to divide" (into two different genders).

We called them "Anglo-Saxons". They did not call themselves that. Many were "Mercians", which would have changed "England" to "Merica".

That peninsula is situated in the Bay of Kiel--so called because of it's "wedge" shape. This is also the source of the "keel" on a boat--the wedge-shaped bottom under the waterline. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angles_...

General heads-up to the #GameDev community: #MiniMax has a new M2 model agent system set up that they are load testing. You hand it a project (a video game document, let's say) and it #VibeCode nuts in your chosen language. Temporarily free. Good code. Perfect for vertical slices. agent.minimax.io

No, #cinnamon does not "normalize your blood sugar". Type-1 diabetes is caused by physical damage to the pancreas that cannot be repaired. Type-2 is caused by fructose poisoning, which disrupts the ability of the pancreas to keep you normal. They're preying upon your addiction to sugar. #SpotTheScam

Is that Grok Imagine?

Yeah but after three of them the cyborgs start getting handsy.

Huh. You'd think there'd be at least a nipple in that photo.

#WordPath is stupid. It's fatal flaw is one shared by many video games: the developers are so afraid that people will leave the game because it is too hard that they break the game so that people leave because it is too easy.

When someone says, "I swayed him over to my side.", what they really mean is "I suade him over to my side." It's the opposite of "dissuade".

They also said Tylenol causes autism. Stop letting psychopaths lie to you.

No, #GenerativeAI did not become "self-aware" this past weekend. The Luddites have been screaming online about how AI is going to destroy us all unless we do something. Their YouTube posts just keep getting more and more ravenous. This is the newest lie in their attempt to stop progress.

The new #PathOfExile league is almost unplayable on the consoles. Five days ago it was smooth as butter and today I had to beat Kitava without actually seeing the Kitava model on the screen. I guarantee you not a single person at #Tencent bothered to check the PlayStation version before launch.

Fuck you, #Google.

Imagine if instead of creating a pre-built passive tree for your #GameDev project you could instead give users RNG "gems" to build their own for each character in your #VideoGame. I posted this to #WebSim so you could try it, download the free code, and use it. websim.com/@DirtyDevote...

Oysters, as filter feeders, retain microplastics (MPs), making them bioindicators of environmental contamination and a potential risk to human health. Research confirmed contamination is widespread, with all oysters analyzed containing MPs. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MicroplasticsMonday #Oysters

It used to be that people prided themselves on their mastery of language that told an accurate story. Today we're in Bizarro World, where we celebrate anyone who can find a novel way to break language in order to garner clicks and subs. Words like "insane" and "silent" have lost all meaning.

YouTube video by Alyssa Grenfell Mormon Leaders Taught I was Porn

A huge chunk of the #American population believes the current "prophet" of the #Mormon Church when he says, "And young women, please understand that if you dress immodestly, you are magnifying this problem by becoming #pornography." That is sick and twisted. #WarOnSex www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0wd...

What's a "wattpad"?

"Impregnate" means to put one past the goalie.
"Impregnable" means a goalie past whom you cannot put one.

One of these words is fucking wrong, yet continues to exist because our education system is more interested in making drones than it is in making sense.

P.S., No. 2 is actually "inprenable".

This is a REALLY impressive YouTube #transition short => www.youtube.com/shorts/pntyX...

Fox Propaganda did exist in 1974. It was called Salem Media.

I find it very hard to believe that either of their ends are odd.

Ironically, "Fortnite" is trending because of The Simpsons.

I want you to look at this bluskee very carefully. 2,500 "shares" by 40,000,013 users. That's not normal. That's not "social" media. #Bluesky is cultivating hundreds if not thousands of selfish cultists who do nothing except scream at the rain in the name of "community safety". That is not good.

There is no such thing as "fitness to be a king". It's "entitlement to be a king". They don't give them tests to see who comes out on top. If they did, I'd be king of the U.K. right now. I kick ass at bar trivia.

Three kinds of "tests":
- "IQ" is how quickly you can figure a way out of a locked room.
- "Aptitude" is how well suited you are for a given profession.
- "Cognitive" is how mushy your brain has become in your old age.

I would like to thank the six guys in front of me in the #PathOfExile queue who bolted and got me under the "1,000" mark.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Why are the #pyramids at #Giza in the middle of a desert with nothing around for hundreds of miles like that?" because--well--they are? Well, it wasn't at the time. There was a branch of the #Nile that has since then been dammed up (during a drought in 2,200BC).

Your "vagas nerve" is always active. It's the longest nerve in humans and handles multiple organs and muscles (tongue, heart, throat, gut, etc.). Anyone telling you they can "activate" it is full of shit. Even if you are paralyzed your vagas still works (it's not in your spinal column). #SpotTheScam

The word #filibuster is Spanish. It means "free-booter" (pirate). It was the name given to revolutionaries in Latin America who fought against U.S. attempts to take over those small countries.

Why, then, is it applied to floor debates the Senate has over important legislation? Think about that.
