Hello there, I'm Arthur Crucian, but on the internet I refer to myself as Arthur9078. I'm a Lithuanian who makes videos around YouTube, does artwork around deviantART and Tumblr, and I play video games.

Okay but this is the tweet I saw and I wouldn’t normally go to bat for people I don’t know, but they seem to actually be pretty genuine people who tend to stay in their own lanes, and are at the very least good sports about it.
Caitlin Covington is truly a wonderful person, and such a good sport when it comes to the jokes. When lasagnabby came out as trans, Caitlin reposted the gofundme and donated 500 dollars to her transition fund.
This does not even begin to cover the weirdness of cathode ray televisions.
They are literally particle accelerators that you point at your face.
And for eighty years, Americans’ favorite thing to do was turn them on and stare at them for hours.
If you overcharge them, they emit gamma radiation.
Servicing them is like disarming a bomb – their capacitors are enormous and are usually charged to hundreds or thousands of volts, and most of them have no bleed system that drains that charge, meaning that they can still be dangerous months or years after the last time they were powered up. A discharge can not only electrocute you, it can cause tools to melt or explode.
A black-and-white cathode ray TV driven by an unmodulated analog signal is theoretically capable of resolution that would require a microscope to perceive.
i know we’re all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we’re coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don’t want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.
this is what we mean when we say “capitalism prevents innovation” in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can’t do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it’s not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it’s how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they’re doing is bad.
EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.
but why
Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.
The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.
That graphic grinds my gears every time I see it
romans.
Julius Caesar to be precise
Remember this when you’re conquering. Keep the books.
THIS HURTS MY HEART SO MUCH EVERY TIME ITS BROUGHT UP
I don’t know who this bloke is, but I definitely think we should all start saying “thriving wage” until it becomes a thing
This makes me think of that line Hopper from A Bug’s Life and just the relationship shown between the grasshoppers and the ant colony:
In case you can’t see the quote very well, “Those puny ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life. It’s not about food, it’s about keeping those ants in line.”
Are you telling me that when i watched bug’s life i was actually watching a proletariat revolution?
It’s not even subtle, A Bug’s Life is blatant pro-worker messaging and I’m here for it
