I really appreciate the details like frequency and peak vertical acceleration. Makes it much more imaginable.

Being from Alabama, I'm still mystified that people are threatened by Jews. I don't get it, Big Dan.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question. They called it The Prayer, its answer was law Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

My impression is that most antisemitism is less on a personal level and more "THE JEWS ARE BEHIND EVERYTHING!"

I've never understood it either but my uncle is firmly convinced that the Jews control everything and will go on and on about it if allowed. He's almost 85 now so usually we give him a pass.

Yeah, well, if you assume that the Hebrew race is genetically superior in terms of business sense, I still don't have a problem with it. We gentiles just need to do better. I'd like be great at negotiating, but I'm not and I leave it to my jew-friends. So, whatever. Don't whine about others being better than you, do something about your situation, you lazy white-trash bums.

That sign was put up by racists, possibly fascists. They're mystified by all sorts of shit because they're fucking morons.

Coming from rural Mississippi, I'm not sure I ever met a Jew until I was college (said Jew happened to be a Holocaust survivor who spoke to our Honors group about being a kid in a concentration camp). As a result, I never understood anti-Semitism at all. Like, you could see the differences between black people and white people pretty starkly, so at least there was something obvious to be afraid of if being afraid of people different than you was your bag. It was irrational but at least it was something I could wrap my head around. Jewish people in the US being mostly white (and for that matter the same goes for prejudice against Italians or Irish people) just never made any goddamn sense to me.
As an adult, I realize now that racism makes no goddamn sense whatsoever regardless of who you hate, it's just an angry manifestation of internal fear.

The trick is to realize that people are not threatened by "insert minority group here" but by their own lack of status. Targets of hate tend to be groups that are both weak in absolute power and also distinguishable from the majority. The bigot externalizes their fears of lack of status onto a clearly lower status group they can then discriminate against and so feel better Jewish people have been common targets because, since the Diaspora, they had the trifecta of being socially/culturally distinct, weak in absolute power, and present. Much of the present day hate is a continuation of the prior. But not all of it

This is one of those unintentionally funny ones. I was glancing at the wiki article on state GDP, and they had a map of the US states labeled by the country who's GDP they are closest to. Couldn't stop laughing at some of the name replacements (mind you this is 2012 data, so its a bit out of date): Edit: I suddenly have the feeling that we discussed this photo sometime in the past. But can't remember when, and it was probably forever ago, so funny pictures hooo

Well, Reddit is doing this thing now, called /r/place which started out as an empty canvas and allows every user to draw one pixel (in a colour of their choice) every 10 minutes. So...this happened:

History repeating itself, again: How that section looks now (all is well!) and to the right of it something creative (top flag is Belgium):

(Last post about this topic) This the final result after the "experiment" ended: Surprisingly positive result considering the reputation of the average reddit user. No dicks or Trumps to be seen...

That reputation is entirely dominated by a tiny minority of wankers who devote considerable effort to being highly visible. As soon as you remove all of the default subreddits and restrict yourself to areas that actually interest you then you discover that the average Reddit user is..... exactly the same as the average user anywhere else. What I find particularly interesting about /r/place was how each of those different logos, flags, meme images, etc, wasn't just the result of cooperation between groups of people working on that particular image but also collaboration between different groups. Every subreddit I subscribe to that managed to get an image created on that was in constant negotiations with the groups making images around them about sharing the space, boundaries, helping "defence" of their respective images, etc. It's easy to dismiss the final product as being nothing but a melange of memes, nationalist flags, logos, etc, but given the nature of the process that was always going to be inevitable - how do you collaborate on an original piece of pixel art when each person can only place a single pixel once every 10 minutes? But the degree of both coordination and cooperation on display here is actually, to me, pretty amazing. Look at the joint heart made between the Swedish and Norwegian flags. The way that the green lattice group is carefully and neatly bordered by about 20 other groups, etc. I think that's pretty cool. The fascists and alt-rights, who tried to score points in various nasty ways, were easily held at bay. The alt-rights tactic was to try to extend the trans groups work into others pieces to deliberately try and make the trans groups look bad. They were exposed and their every effort was completely wiped out very quickly. Swastikas and other offensive symbols disappeared before they could even form. The only disruptive group that achieved anything were a bunch of people calling their thing "the void" who tried to make a black blot over all sorts of things and who managed to end up with a tiny black mess just under the UK flag. I'd be surprised if someone didn't manage to sneak something offensive in somewhere, but by and large the whole thing was remarkably effectively self-policed. Personally I think it's pretty awesome how it turned out.

Agreed. I expected a mess but I'm amazed at the coordination to get that to happen, INCLUDING Germany subsuming France's flag. That took some serious people power.
