  • Eh, the terracotta emporer from China almost definitely has booby traps that are likely still functional after 2,000.

    We don’t know, because the absolutely insane amount of open mercury in the tomb would have filled it with toxic gases, although it’s likely that wasn’t the intent.

    But yeah, most “ancient” tombs were pillaged centuries ago. What little happens now is entirely black market and people probably die all the time.

    I know Kim Kardashian took a booty selfie with a sarcophagus at the MET Gala a couple years ago, and one of the illegal tomb raiders recognized it. And because he never got his cut, he snitched to local authorities. So it still happens, we just don’t hear about the vast amount. Just the very careful government sanctioned ones.


  • Clémence Guetté, Vice President of France’s National Assembly, submitted a parliamentary resolution calling for France to withdraw from NATO’s integrated command structure, citing President Trump’s threats to seize Greenland from NATO ally Denmark as evidence the US-led alliance threatens world peace.

    So one politician from France submitted a resolution in the French government to do it.

    And you…

    You honestly and legitimately think that is the same thing as:

    I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans

    Like, you didn’t just go and try to find a source but didn’t read it. You just don’t understand how what that says and what you said are vastly different things?








  • If you wanna read the whole thing deep, visit my main community “BharatReforms” and join it for further similar and informative updates.

    Just so everyone is aware what “Bharat Reform” actually means:

    It’s a far right extremist pro-Modi movement in India, which is the same the other communities OP moderates, just slightly less blatant to ease people into the hate.

    Hindutva, right-wing ethno-nationalist political ideology that defines the cultural identity of India in terms of Hinduism and desires to make India an overtly Hindu nation-state. The term Hindutva was first defined in the early 1920s by Indian nationalist activist and politician Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Today it is most closely associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (Hindi/English: Indian People’s Party; BJP), one of the main political parties in India, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Hindi: National Volunteer Organization; RSS), a nonpolitical Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization. Hindutva supporters, or Hindutvavadis, claim to advocate for India’s significant Hindu-majority population—as of 2011 India was 79.8 percent Hindu, 14.2 percent Muslim, and the rest a mix of Christians, Sikhs, and others—and seek to redefine the idea of secularism enshrined in the Indian constitution in terms of Hindu rights.

    Hindutva as an ideology must be understood as distinct from Hinduism as a religion—not all adherents of Hinduism subscribe to Hindutva—and Savarkar’s original definition asserts Hindutva as an ethnic category and eschews a specific religious connotation. In current practice the ideology tends to be strongly pro-Hindu and staunchly anti-Muslim. However, supporters often define Hindutva in purely cultural terms as a “way of life.”

    It’s like rolling up MAGA and Zionists into one group







  • But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

    I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

    But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

    I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.



  • The reason this stuff is important to understand, is so we can fight it effectively and prevent it from happening again:

    Sociopathy is normal human variation…

    It’s associated with criminals, because the earliest definitions required criminality, so the only population they’d check were violent criminals, which reinforced flawed beliefs that every sociopath was a violent criminal. Medical community is making progress, but it’ll likely take decades to shake that stigma so it can actually be studied properly.

    Shit, a high enough IQ is almost guaranteed to come along with ASPD.

    trump is way worse than just someone with ASPD, he’s most likely making a conscious effort not to care about others if it benefits himself, or even enjoys hurting others. Someone with actual ASPD doesn’t get joy from hurting people, they just don’t really care unless they’re putting a conscious effort into caring.

    Which many do. But many people without ASPD want to cause pain, because they’re shitty people and fully understand what the people they’re hurting feel, if trump couldn’t feel the suffering of others in anyway, he wouldn’t go out of his way to hurt so many people.
